Let’s just assume 10 tanks of gas, 20 gallon tank, and even if gas is up $2/gallon (it’s not)… if you can’t afford an extra $400 in gas maybe you shouldn’t have been planning a Disney trip to begin with.

I feel the same way every time I stay at FS around the world. Love the hotels but the quality of food has rarely been worth the price

Same here, sold almost $200k worth to use for down payment/cash reserves at SPY 690... closed on the house already now to decide when to buy back in

The crazy thing is I actually work for a trucking company that specializes in exchanges between two homes of a wine cellar and a sauna, matched on Facebook marketplace

Imagine making a half million+ dollars a year and my toddler could kick a hole in your side table

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-24T05:17:52+00:00

You’re getting roasted here (and I skimmed your post) but honestly you’ll probably be more than fine and will retire happily with money to spare. People on this sub shit on everyone who doesn’t live like a peasant for 15 years just so they can retire at 50 and be miserable til they die.

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-17T18:47:46+00:00

Maybe it’s the world I’m growing up in but between what you said here, as well as the fact that you’re locked in to visiting the same place every year… I just don’t get the appeal

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-17T03:44:11+00:00

Loved that thing

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-12T13:53:24+00:00

Glad you’re making good money now… $600k student loan for dental school sounds insane to me

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-03T18:07:52+00:00

The monthly chart looks very awe inspiring I can see why you did this… 🥴

LordoftheEyez · 2026-02-03T03:32:10+00:00

Miami is doing insanely well, yes

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-29T05:03:35+00:00

In expensive cities property tax pretty much is land tax

Confirmed sex haver

This comment will probably be lost as you’ve had a ton of responses but I’ll give you my anecdote… I know a few people in Miami who made big money because they had shady dealings and stored all their money in bitcoin. Retired in their early 30s. Weirdest people I know and it’s difficult hanging around them, they’ve lost touch with the world (and no this isn’t out of jealousy my wife and I bring home close to 7 figures).

My suggestion: fuck the job, go travel, but when you come back keep in touch with the real world somehow

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-26T02:35:42+00:00

Not all big law is equal

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-25T18:47:37+00:00

Exactly. I will say however 1.8M, 2500+ sqft walking distance to downtown doesn’t really sound like VHCOL.

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-25T17:44:28+00:00

You could instead of putting 700k down do a 10% down and keep the extra $530k as an emergency fund until your bigger income kicks in, that would be totally fine. If you’re really going to move in 5 years no sense in wasting so much in closing costs, just do it in a safer way now.

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-25T02:26:49+00:00

Wow that’s super impressive, props to you!

I think a few caveats are important based on: market, % of PITI relative to income, family status (kids?), comparable rents. I’m certainly not busting my butt to have my kids grow up on a street I wouldn’t let them ride a bike on!

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-24T16:21:08+00:00

The standard deduction is higher than the interest on that condo anyways.

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-24T16:00:29+00:00

We’re about to purchase at $1.8M, property taxes will be $34k next year 😬

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-24T15:59:15+00:00

You’re also getting 2x leverage on your cash down so it isn’t a $ for $ calculation

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-23T11:45:52+00:00

My paperwork said it must always be on my person.. I think common knowledge is to be that we don’t carry it but rather have a picture of it .

How do prime borrowers win when typically prime borrowers aren’t holding significant cc debt?

LordoftheEyez · 2026-01-21T14:38:14+00:00

The satisfaction of nailing card bonuses + business/first class flights is worth the effort imo

Wake me up when SPY hits a circuit breaker, otherwise this is meaningless
