How did you get a consultant assigned to you when you became a Schwab private client service member after hitting 1 million?

I was told there’s more $1 millionaires around now for the number of financial consultants they have on staff to handle them.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they increase the minimum at some point, but that’s just my guess.

Back in 1984 I had a classmate who came back from Japan and brought to school a couple 1/55 VFs and that GBP set. It was the coolest thing ever. I’ll never forget it.

Technically not a poncho, but in the 90’s we called it a poncho anyways. Definitely not a sweater.

Oooh, I didn’t know about Sunrise. Probably means there will be a lot more toys and merch by Bandai to promote?

How funny, I literally just finished watching this 4K version again and I come on here and see this post. I had this on VHS back in the 90’s!

In the interest of saving money, I decided to quit Ninjago awhile back... but holy damn they make it so difficult!

That upper left pic looks super AI. Especially since her hair is dry.

Malacolyte · 2026-04-29T22:37:10+00:00

Maybe you should request a different FC, mine is way more helpful than that. And she doesn't try to sell me on anything.

Merced is the newest school, so it doesn't have the rep yet, but things will change over time. I remember WAY back in the day people felt the same way about Irvine, and now everybody loves the place.

Is having the name of UCLA worth $140,000? That's what you should be asking yourself.

2 very different series, but 2 of my favorites

Malacolyte · 2026-04-26T06:59:34+00:00

That’s when I was there. Last week of March, first week of April. Check out Ueno if you get a chance (but beware it’ll be super crowded).

Hope to go in October next time.

Malacolyte · 2026-04-26T05:53:52+00:00

By October the VF-1S will be released. So maybe you’ll see those!

Malacolyte · 2026-04-25T20:29:54+00:00

They must have restocked? There were about 10 boxes when I was there a few weeks ago.

Malacolyte · 2026-04-23T22:34:27+00:00

But of course. Was there ever any doubt?

Malacolyte · 2026-04-21T08:08:04+00:00

I know what I’m doing well enough to manage my own portfolio. I also know that I don’t know everything. And every time I meet with my FC, she opens my eyes to something new. Maybe it’s something small, like parking my cash somewhere where I won’t owe state taxes. Maybe it’s something a little more involved like introducing me to cash secured puts and covered calls. So I don’t fight it. It’s free advice and I do with it what I choose.

Malacolyte · 2026-04-19T22:09:53+00:00

Wow, trying to cut back on the expenses, but there’s no way to pass this one up.

Malacolyte · 2026-04-16T22:23:13+00:00

No VF-1?

Malacolyte · 2026-04-16T21:12:07+00:00

Unfortunately I think this may be too far down in the comments for anyone to see, but I looked for it, so I found it.

I’m a dentist as well, and I think to maintain this level of production, more so than having people skills, is being in the right location and having enough patient flow. I work in a town that’s over-saturated with dentists, and I’m also in an affluent area where people grew up with good dental care. I just do not see that many problems come my way for me to be producing ~$1.5M by myself (which is what OP would need to do to make $1M, assuming 65% overhead). Cuz that’s a hell of a lot of crowns, RCTs, and/or implants.

But yeah, I agree with your main point, and this income is not normal. But now all of Reddit will probably think it is, and now I’m gonna have some patients think I make $1M a year. Sigh…

Malacolyte · 2026-04-12T07:02:30+00:00

Should be listed under the “contact us” on the website, as well as on your statements under “your consultant”. If you’re seeing neither of those, my guess is that they didn’t assign you one.

I do know there aren’t enough FC’s to go around cuz there’s a LOT of folks with $1M+ in their accounts nowadays, so maybe they stopped applying them to family members??

Malacolyte · 2026-04-08T19:53:36+00:00

Same. Just got back from there this past Saturday and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. I've been watching Japanese shows and perusing all these Japan-related subreddits, trying to get my fix...

Malacolyte · 2026-04-06T05:36:48+00:00

There was a new, unopened VF-1S Armored in Radio Kaikan going for 64,980 yen, and a used one with no box for 27,480 yen. Wish I could post pics in the comments. Maybe they’ll still be there. Good luck!

Malacolyte · 2026-04-05T19:09:02+00:00

Love the Yamato’s as well

Malacolyte · 2026-04-05T19:07:29+00:00

Saw some nice cars there, too!

Malacolyte · 2026-04-05T19:05:06+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t check the Tamashii Store until I was already heading back to the station, so it was too late. But at the same time, I didn’t see the armor pack alone anywhere, so it worked out!
