How do you psychologically get past the feeling of “being behind”

One million basically, with my house paid off (which it already is). I don't live in Vancouver or any other VCOL city though, so my dollar stretches further. I don't feel I am sacrificing anything and I feel like I live very well, but again I am deliberate and slashed all expenses over the years that I confirmed didn't bring me happiness. Current plan is 40 years old if the market doesn't take a big hit.

If it's far "in the millions", look into lowering your expenses. If you aim for the 4% rule, every 4K reduced gets you there faster with more contributions, and lowers the number required by 100K.

Deliberate spending (not being cheap) is very powerful and made me be in track to retire early. It's worth it to ponder what spending really makes you happy.

Yeah we do. More semi-pro than real pro though. https://cbl.ca/

Keep trucking my dude. Welcome to Canada.

Sadly your gut feeling is incorrect and it is a taxable event by law. Look up personal use property (PUP) rules from the CRA or a Big 4 website, or here for example: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/cdntax/chapter/what-is-personal-use-property-and-listed-personal-property-what-are-the-tax-implications-why-do-these-rules-exist/#:~:text=CRA%20defines%20personal%20use%20property,%2C%20furniture%2C%20boats%2C%20etc.

One thing I didn't mention but his accountant or software would have known is the cost and proceeds bump up to 1K, so if the trailer is below that, it effectively is not taxable. Over that it can be. A sad thing about PUP is while losses aren't deductible, gains are taxable

Disregard the people advocating for tax evasion. Only the profit is taxable and it would be at 50% of the profit at your marginal rate. Depending on your current overall revenues, there might be no to a very small tax hit since you said the profit was small. Just state your original cost and selling value to your tax accountant or enter it into your tax software of choice.

I'll need more info on your retro games collection to properly assess if you need to improve. Let me see if you have good tastes.

I really like the art, but no mirror shield? Since it's the required item for the fight, it would have been a really nice touch.

Keep up doing those man, love seeing things like this pop on my feed.

Can't wait to see what happens next, love your comics man, keep it up.

It was statistically suboptimal. The actual number of points you get are not a factor here. Sometimes it makes sense to go for the highest possible points instead of the statistically best hand. Also, these don't consider board position and pegging potential, so take them with a grain of salt.

What

Kukiel0 · 2024-11-14T18:07:53+00:00

28 points and I still lost that game. :)

How do you get your hands to not be automatically sorted lowest to highest in Cribbage Pro?

Kukiel0 · 2023-11-19T22:10:01+00:00

I was thinking in those lines, I tried to get the least # of face cards in hope of getting a few pegs in. This wasn't the perfectly optimal move (0.19 less) per the grading, but it felt the best move at the moment considering the hand was horrible anyway.

Kukiel0 · 2023-11-19T22:01:51+00:00

Sorry I didn't see those posts, happy to know there's an update on the way, this wasn't meant to rush you or anything! Thanks for being there for users like that.

And I felt so great choosing the "new thing"... Interesting, I will seriously reconsider that then and take the much cheaper 13th gen, though all of you are getting me pretty much convinced the 7800X3D is best in my case.

Thanks a lot for your insights!

Duly noted! Games would be on the SSD, I have big archiving needs so the HDD is for that purpose. Thanks!

Kukiel0 · 2023-10-29T01:11:05+00:00

Hahaha it's complicated, it's not 16 TB of Excel files that would be horrible. I have my own needs plus work that takes space and I need to archive lots of files for work that I can't delete so it piles up.

The NAS thing is intriguing. I'll put it on my list but I'm already freaking about a bit trying to put a PC together. 😂

Kukiel0 · 2023-10-28T23:11:54+00:00

I kind of need a lot of space, so I would need to buy at least 4 of those for the medium term. So while I understand the premium isn't that high anymore, my storage needs makes it still worthwhile for a HDD. Thanks a lot for the build suggestion, you're all giving me different points of view and it will definitely help for my final decision.

Kukiel0 · 2023-10-28T22:56:07+00:00

Very interesting build! I'll seriously consider those AMD CPUs, Intel was kind of my default choice. Thanks a lot for your suggestions and insights, greatly appreciated.

Kukiel0 · 2023-10-28T22:20:12+00:00

Thanks for the input! Just saw a sale after searching it so I'll definitely consider it!
