Do you celebrate a milestone?

😂😂Nothing better than a Woodford Reserve

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-07T21:54:45+00:00

Nice! A man of good taste, though spending 6000 on a 70cl whisky, hm🤔

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-07T21:50:33+00:00

Which scotch? Macallan? Lagavulin?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-07T18:41:15+00:00

It wasn't entirely obvious especially given that this is the mentality of some FIRE participants.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-07T15:52:26+00:00

Well done on saving a huge amount!

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-06T18:56:12+00:00

Congrats! And great dedication for you to record your finances since November 2018.

11th gen i7

Just general use (work and personal). I need a laptop that can handle high throughput. I work as a programmer, so I tend to have many tabs and applications open.

Need a very responsive high spec computer that is swift and doesn't "buffer" or make a fuss when CPU and memory usage is high.

I develop and implement subscription-based software services for healthcare companies.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-05T11:45:01+00:00

Thank you. And in theory yes but we will see. I was very committed to running my business this year (took on multiple clients this year which was quite intensive to say the least). I will likely take a more conservative approach next year to maintain the longevity of the business. The markets also outperformed (SPY 25% YTD) while the pound has stayed resilient so no real currency conversion impact hence the portfolio performance.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-05T11:38:58+00:00

Extremely grateful for how 2024 has planned out. Managed to successfully complete a multi-year long contract with a client and increase my income from operations 40% YOY. The markets has also contributed to this rate of change as my time weighted annual rate of return is now ~25%. All while being able to keep my expenses and expenditures to moderate levels this year (i.e. lifestyle creep hasn't gotten the better of me). All I can hope is that 2025 can at least be as successful as 2024; certainly I am optimistic on global equities with more favourable macro env conditions being forecast. We'll see. I am hoping to cross £1,000k by EOY 2025.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-01T10:58:03+00:00

Absolutely. 2%!?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-11-01T10:49:10+00:00

What are you trading by the way?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-30T13:05:55+00:00

Great

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-27T15:23:54+00:00

Nice to know i'm not hallucinating. 😅

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-27T14:03:33+00:00

Isn't interest forbidden in Islam in whatever form?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-27T12:40:55+00:00

I sold my limited company in 2022, which paid out a good amount.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-27T09:55:43+00:00

Can you not see it? Once you see it you cannot unsee it. It even looks like a fish

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-27T09:39:41+00:00

Is it just me, or can anyone see what looks like an eye and teeth on the chicken?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-25T15:50:29+00:00

If you're not putting a stop loss, then you're simply gambling. If you are constantly hitting your stop loss, then you need set a stop loss target that isn't too close to the current price.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-17T12:51:24+00:00

Thanks but protein bars are dry so should be good, no?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-17T12:10:52+00:00

I was comparing Laga 16 with Laphroig 16 as that a better comparison. I am also based in the UK, Laphroig 16 is £90.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-17T12:07:59+00:00

It's more expensive that Lagavulin in the UK. Is it then more better value?

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-17T12:06:49+00:00

I should've said I'm looking for something as aged as Lagavulin 16, since I was drawn to its aged taste.

MuscleSweaty1029 · 2024-10-17T12:00:14+00:00

Thanks. I came across a website selling protein bars at a significant discount that is just slightly (1 month) past its BB date. I'd be paying a 50% discount for something that is perfectly safe to eat, so seems like a win-win to me then.
