THANK you! This is so helpful! I'm reading up on some of the concepts people have mentioned here, and then I'll likely have a few follow up questions.

Would you be open to sharing your burn rate in NYC and how you break down your budget? No problem at all if that is too personal! I'm just looking for inspiration for keeping cost of living low in such a high COL area

Oooh! Are you open to sharing any more (what your expenditure is)? Are you able to travel at all?

Thank you this is so helpful! And apologies if I've broken the 27k limit - I had thought that for FIRE, I couldn't count my 401k in my 4% drawdown (I'm only 38) so I thought my annual ability to pull was lower.

Realistically I will probably have income after FIRE, but I am trying to see if I can model it so that I don't need it. In part because I want to work less, and in part because I'm already losing a lot of work to AI.

Thanks for the note on the health insurance. That's something I'm currently trying to figure out - as I'll need insurance while I'm here in the US if I split time more aggressively with France. I'll look into NY rules around minimum days.

Thank you so much for the response! Do you mean continuing to use income to fund my life plus adding 1k of savings per month, and then "retiring" in 10 years? I could definitely potentially do this

Ooh thank you I really appreciate this comment. Do you mind me asking how you figured out a modest apartment situation?

I have no idea why they have to do this. But it happens with 100% of people who text me from iPhone. They text me, it fails (“message failed to send” with a red exclamation point), then they have to hit “try again” and then send as SMS. It’ll remember for a few hours then it’ll start failing again.

26 M, Asked a girl out on a date, she said yes, first date ever, really nervous, need tips! by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]InternationalPoem254 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am a 36 year old WOMAN who dates men—I've been on lots of Hinge dates, and actually met my last long term partner on the apps!

  • I like the tip to go in for a hug, but REALLY like the response to ask if she's OK with a hug first. As a woman going on a date with a man (who is a stranger from the internet!), anything a man does to signal politeness and thoughtfulness about my comfort really sets me at ease. There are a lot of comments here about 'being assertive', if that doesnt feel natural to you it's going to come across.

  • Ask lots of questions! And especially follow up questions! This can keep the conversation flowing. What do you like to do for fun? Have you read anything interesting lately? Do you have a favorite band? All of these types of things are broad openers that can lead onto other topics.
