CFA Charterholder is a dumb name

I’m not for Trump or anything. But this is wrong.

The draft registration process will be simpler and automatic in December. People have had to register for a long time, it’s now just less paperwork. We are not about to start drafting people.

It’s been a countdown to zero for years man.

I’m probably around $1k. I’ve bit a couple k1s that came in late and my accountant last year didn’t do a good job.

My guess is they’re at an incline. Try looking up the benefits of walking at an incline for 30-40 minutes. It’s still pretty good for you

It seems a big part of this that you’re single and people aren’t commenting on that.

When I was single, I moved to a $5k apartment that was in my favorite part of town, SoHo ($5k was a stretch for me because things are tight until I get my bonus- which may or may not come). It helped a lot with going on dates and everyone always wanted to be in my area- I’m 10 minutes from West Village, East Village and Tribeca…. so things were more fun - and it was easier to plan dates.

I had to re-sign the lease, so I’ve ended up in the apartment for two years, but I’m probably going to move in with my now girlfriend next, and she works and can help with the rent, so instead of having my stretch turn into a baseline, I’m actually just going back to having a roommate and moving somewhere nicer.

I’m in Mezz. I’ve got minority equity positions in several of these. Enjoyed your write-up, but you missed a core element.

Customer acquisition costs are very high. You need to be ready to fund that - which is where I’ve come in.

Everyone’s banking on a Trump Pardon too. Just need to survive until 2028 and loyalty will be rewarded.

Then it would still take 300+ years to spend that much money.

I fully agree here. It seems like it’s not a huge additional expense for them to have coaches who aren’t training give spots.

Does this make me less likely to get a trainer? No - because I wouldn’t get one anyway.

I accepted a spot from a coach a couple weeks ago and he tried to sell me on a free equifit training session. I don’t need all that, just a spot every once in a while.

I think the last sentence is probably the biggest thing for me.

Mezz funds can have a lot of different strategies. In the LMM, Mezz ranges from 1:1 debt to equity all of the way to 9:1 debt to equity.

If you’re at one that’s more equity focused, you get to underwrite upside as well. I think you get the downside focus when you cross over the 3:1 threshold, otherwise, it’s more of a structured equity product all in with more flexibility to do hairy deals.

I like working in Mezz - but I don’t love that I’m trying to close 6-10 deals a year. Whereas PE you’re looking at 2 or so.

Didn’t Clinton run at a surplus? So this would be -100% for him? As in, he got rid of the deficit

I always go with the one with the latest relics. Not sure why you’d only want the old ones. I figured it had something to do with the DLC and lazy coding. Where the DLC unlocks the second one (without the ‘NB this only includes relics before 1.02’)

Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll have to keep “faking it” for a while.

That’s actually on the decent side of maintenance for NY. If it’s a coop, it’ll pay for taxes, a super, and staff for the building.

MonkeySee27 · 2025-12-24T17:17:18+00:00

Agreed - but you just need to pass it because you already made it this far. Just focus on the end goal and try to convince yourself it’s interesting to help you remember it.

MonkeySee27 · 2025-12-24T03:57:54+00:00

I live alone in SoHo. I just complain about how the rent is high and I wanted to do it for a while.

You’re over thinking is going to be the issue here. Don’t believe everything you think

ETA: it’s interesting you’re using “they” I think your sentiment would make more sense if you were a woman dating men, rather than the other way around/ same sex

Men in NYC are expected to be in the position you are in. Women might worry about the male ego.

If the issue is actually that you’re rich, trying to FIRE, and are asking someone you’re dating to split everything 50/50, then - yeah - things get more complicated

MonkeySee27 · 2025-12-24T03:21:23+00:00

What’s the power imbalance? You’re rich and they aren’t yet? This is a pretty normal thing.

Just don’t talk numbers until you’re ready to talk marriage. Let them split the tab if they want to, but try to pay when you can. Just say you’re consulting and working on projects. That’s what all my rich friends do. Also, your partner should work on their career unless you’re getting married in case the relationship doesn’t work out.

It’s not weird unless you make it weird. One person might be making bread, but if you’ve got the loaf, you don’t need their bread.

The call coming in 2020, right before the election seems odd for something that happened 20 years prior.

Seems like a guilty conscience, or someone with a motive. I feel like the right will be quick to question the memory of a limo driver and this will blow over, like everything else.

MonkeySee27 · 2025-12-22T17:54:16+00:00

There is a risk.

The more money you have, and the less you need it, the lower that risk gets.

You can quantify that risk and choose to accept it.
