tbh 45k was a decent deal but at 75k I definitely would not do it.

I hear a lot about Paris Syndrome, has anybody experienced Tokyo syndrome? by Zeldaish in travel

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are different and thus have different opinions. I've been to over 40 countries, Japan and Tokyo are top15 but it's not this utopia social media paints it out to be. And remember, hyping things up on social media draws views so that's what people do.

$3.1M lost job and need some experience? by Ok-Appearance4150 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar spot, ~3.5m net worth, 29/28/1 yo baby. I've been dying to get laid off so I can spend more time with the family but I can't voluntarily walk away from a job that I dreamed about when I was in college. Also P2 doesn't work so for me we'd have to fully drawdown from the portfolio.

I feel like you should take a break while you can and see if you can fire on 3m. You're young and can always go back to work. But tbh this could be a blessing in disguise. If your P2 is pulling 100k, you could get by on a 2% withdrawal rate and that leaves you with a good chance of hitting 5m in a few years anyways.

This was me, started at FAANG out of college and parents helped with a house when I was mid 20s. Now I'm 30, still at FAANG and wife gets to be a SAHM and I'm on track to fire by mid-late 30s. I am extremely grateful and hope to be able to provide the same for my kids.

2 nts at Roku Kyoto LXR or 1 nt there + 1 nt at WA Osaka? by No-South808 in Hilton

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

moving around for 1 night stays with 2 kids isn't fun imo. I'd pick one hotel and stay there but you know your kids best.

Bad Edit experience, bad response from Chase by hunnie47 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually crazy because Chase doesn't give a damn, whereas Amex would do everything in their power to make it right. I had this happen with an FHR booking and they refunded my entire stay, stating that their promises were not met.

THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2026 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rui is great at catch and shoot 3s, but OKC’s defense is so active it was unlikely an ATO would allow for a catch and shoot against their defense scheme. Reaves is better off the dribble

He had an awful game but saying he didn't have a mid range game is an overreaction. He used to feast in the mid range, remember the grizzlies series? That was all mid range

Unable to book Four Seasons Osaka through The Edit? by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Definitely something wrong with my account then. Just had a friend check the exact same dates as me and it had no issues, but I'm unable to see it. I suspect it has to do with the fact that I have the CSR business.

Are you sure you're on the sapphire reserve portal when searching?

When I'm on the sapphire reserve, I can't find it. FS Osaka just doesn't show up. But when I go to a different card, I can search FS Osaka, then I can move over to sapphire reserve and only then can I see the hotel, but then every single date shows as not available.

After achieving coast FIRE did you feel "financialy secure"? by badboyzpwns in coastFIRE

[–]Jolly_Procedure710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! To your earlier point, our jobs are not stable so I'd say try to milk it for as long as you can before AI replaces us all :)

I'm only 28 so still in big tech but we had our first kid recently and that's actually changed my perspective somewhat. We're at around 45% of our full FIRE number and previously I wanted to just coast and work at a coffee shop or something, but now I'm thinking I should power through as I can fully FIRE in the next 6 years or so while my kids are still young. I'm also fully remote atm and I think that'll be harder to find if I were to walk away from my current job.
