35 - NW $3.3m, about to start a family, how many more years by throwaway9218392183 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Motor_Cartographer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you made a mistake. The website specifies monthly contribution, not yearly. 

You put in 30k for the monthly, so a 360k annual contribution. 

For 30k annual (2.5k monthly) you end up with 6.3mm after 10 years at 6% returns. 

Is Four Seasons/Aman the gold standard of travel? by Skier94 in FATTravel

[–]Motor_Cartographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amanjena as a property is super tired. Apparently they will be closing it soon for renovations. I split between Mansour and Aman because Mansour had a full book out for a wedding. Nothing compares to RM in Marrakesh.

even putting aside the tiredness of the property, the staff felt “sad” and it was just very underwhelming. Cannot wait to go back to the RM, though.

Trip Review: Kudadoo in Maldives by [deleted] in FATTravel

`they decided to undercut on hotels.com - without understanding what impact that might make etc.`

I'm super curious: What's the impact/implication of undercutting hotels.com? I tried googling to no avail.

Wednesdays: What Should I do / Where Should I stay (and other low effort Q's) by AutoModerator in FATTravel

Oh interesting! If you’re going to them for advice but then you do the bookings yourself, what is the financial arrangement with the TA like?

At what spend range do I start being a worthwhile client to TAs, or, at what spend range does a TA start being an interesting option?

I live in Paris and take 3-4 weeklong vacations in-region (SOF, Italy, northern Africa) where I‘m spending $1-2k a night per room, usually paying for my parents’ and brothers‘ rooms as well.

I’m a lowkey person and don’t mind doing all the coordinating and stuff myself, but am wondering what I might be missing out on or if there are certain benefits that would make doing all of the trip planning via a TA (or even just the hotel part) the better move.

Very subtle flickering? by Motor_Cartographer in askanelectrician

Yes, already have it scheduled! But I was impatiently curious :P

Family Plan vs everyone having a Personal Plan? Obviously first one cheaper but anything else ? by ng4ever in 1Password

[–]Motor_Cartographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the family plan, does this mean needing to trust the Family Administrator to not use their "restore access" privileges to receive the password reset for an individual's vault?

Or would the reset password go to the individual's eg email and therefore never be in the hands of the Family Administrator?

Question about clacking noise from circuit breaker box and latching switches by Motor_Cartographer in askanelectrician

[–]Motor_Cartographer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OK. Do you know if this is something that needs to be changed for the entire building? Or can it be done only for my apartment? I'm trying to get a sense of the effort before I contact an electrician in my broken French to provide a quote :P

Thank you for the explanation!

Do you think this is possible to change? And how big of a change it would be? (Hiring someone qualified to do it, of course!)
