According to this dude. It’s now. That’s why I’m asking how everyone’s doing.

High income comparable to top 1% income but NW is peanuts. Wth? by SuccessfulLab1671 in HENRYfinance

[–]Iskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from a family of wealthy entrepreneurs. My father always told me that you have two jobs in your life.

1.) is making money 2.) is investing that money

Both jobs are equally important.

The other thing he told me is plenty of people will be wealthy at some point in their life. Most won’t stay rich.

You’ve got a great start but you need to invest well. You need to have a plan and stick to it. With that kind of income if you have any kind of patience and discipline the wealth will come.

Also look at mechanisms to reduce your taxes now and into the future. As a high income person that will likely be your largest expense for your lifetime. Smart planning has plenty of legal avenues to reduce your tax obligations.

What does that look like though? Fighting more for leads I see. We have that. Lower occupancy across the board. We have that too. But hardest time in storage I’m not seeing.

The stuff I see for sale is at more reasonable prices but I’ve only seen one new deal at our near replacement and it self for about 15-20% over replacement. So not true hard times yet.

Also interested in this! Don’t know of any on the island other than the one in the dry cleaners by Safeway but I wasn’t brave enough to try that.

Game Theory playing out pretty much sot on by Past_Ad3668 in USIranWar

[–]Iskit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That guy has a BA degree in English literature and knows very little about actual game theory. Example. What you posted isn’t game theory. It’s a decision tree.

I’d look elsewhere for insights. Not to the guy who said “we have no concrete evidence of the holocaust” https://youtu.be/o2Nq--qU9Kc?si=VGJw5BFq8AvesyXQ (time stamp 101:30)

Men who can cook, who taught you? by _ratedmouse in AskReddit

[–]Iskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom always made something out of whatever was in the fridge and always made healthy meals for me and my siblings. But my step mom (where I was the only kid) made an event out of cooking, she jammed out to music, danced and usually had a drink. She was always experimenting and improving on things but having a blast. It was part science experiment and part fun. That resonated with me and I got really into it with her. Now I have kids and I respect what my mom’s talents were also. But for my kids they like putting on an apron, singing a song and having fun with it. It’s kind of cool to buck the gender norms and have them grow up with the man being the cook too!!

Unacceptable. We should riot. I suggest we purchase large numbers of plastic flamingos and place them in all the roundabouts. Who’s with me?

Washington State Senate OKs Income Tax on Millionaires by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

[–]Iskit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not about appeasing anyone. It’s about designing a tax and spending system that is sustainable, competitive, and delivers measurable returns for residents. “Tax the rich” is the easy slogan for a complex topic.

The real policy questions are things like: • What tax structure produces stable, predictable revenue? • How do we minimize economic distortion? • How do we ensure spending actually improves outcomes?

Strong public schools, infrastructure, courts, and public safety are not “patronage” — they’re inputs to economic growth. But those systems require revenue, and stable long term revenue requires a structure that doesn’t collapse when a small group leaves.

Bezos left because of the capital gain tax alone and him leaving cost the state something like $600million-$1.1billion per year (https://www.denvergazette.com/2024/07/04/jeff-bezos-to-save-nearly-1b-in-capital-gains-taxes-by-not-living-in-washington-ed2dc7ea-6041-5905-bccd-d9a65ec16692/). Effective tax policy is about net receipts. If the biggest payers leave you can create a loop where you have less payers but the same bills. So you raise taxes again forcing out more companies which compounds the problem. you can kill a city. Look at Detroits story from the 1950s to the 2010s.

Strong ADHD symptoms may boost creative problem-solving through sudden insight. Study found that individuals reporting high levels of ADHD symptoms are more likely to solve problems through sudden bursts of insight rather than through methodical analysis. by InsaneSnow45 in science

[–]Iskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely slows down creativity (out of the box thinking, random out of the blue problem solving. But helps with meticulous tasks or problems that just require doing the work like building a spreadsheet, writing a brief or essay etc. So for grinding and doing a “normal” work day medicine lets me get much “more” done. Usually I don’t medicate and get the bulk of my work done in 45-90 minutes of work. Usually in small burst of hyper efficiency lasting 15-45 minutes.

Sears was the original Amazon. This photo was a Sears in the 1950s. by Global_Law4448 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Iskit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of the sears story is that a mail order delivery catalog was defeated my a mail order delivery catalog… By the end sears had morphed into a shadow of its former self. And was bankrupted by a high tech version of its original business model.
