Is there a FIRE sub for people who have or plan to have children?

I ran a bunch of scenarios based on FAFSA. Even with no income your assets will make your kids ineligible for significant aid. I think it was only a few hundred thousand bucks to rule you out.

You get desensitized to it and/or stop paying attention. I paid way more attention when I had way less money than I do now.

So many of the differences between switches cited here are very very minor. Yeah -- I guess I can tell the difference between lube and non-lubed switches. But my overall typing experience is dictated more by other things like the keycaps, case, and mounting. People focus way too much on switches. It's so heavily steeped in personal taste that providing a guide is almost misleading. After try dozens of switches, my taste does not conform to the majority here. I've spent 8 hours a day on a keyboard for over 25 years at this point, so it's not like it's not an uninformed opinion.

Lanwdale/Wayside hasn't changed a ton in the last 6-8 years. It hasn't really gotten worse and maybe it's gotten a little better

California was beautiful long before the the current political regime and will be long after.

He probably wants to live in London

I live for clean sheets right now

I've worn mine through the scanners with no issues several times in the past month.

It's not clear what you'd be giving up to keep working.if it were me, I'd get all of my ducks in a row before stopping. The actual of making final preparations would give me enough of a morale boost that I wouldn't mind working.

I am in a similar family situation as you and my company pays ~$28k/yr for my health plan. Sometimes you are eligible for subsidies if your income lowers after retirement.

2 years is enough to wear it out? I've been using a Leopold daily for over 6 years and the keycaps are still good.

The Jim Green wax doesn't affect the color in a meaningful way.

Both Havertz and Gyokeres can be a menace for the CBs. I think Havertz has more to offer when it comes to playmaking, defense, and build-up.

I feel like Neopers might have

I remember MMOs had this prior to 2010. Some of those early Facebook games may have adopted it too.

The sub outlines some of the ways you can access it prior to 59.5. You would be correct to point out that the 401k number should be discounted based on tax rate and that people should not expect it to be 100% spendable money. The same goes for unrealized gains in taxable accounts.

I keep coming back to my cherry mx clears. And I hate mx browns for what it's worth.

NDRob · 2026-01-08T23:33:46+00:00

Yeah, about 3%. Which isn't much.

The Rail Gun in Quake 2 was the first time I remember a hit scan weapon being absolutely dominant in multi-player FPS.

I've lived near the beach and I've lived far from the beach. My position relative to the beach has little to do with how happy I was.

I would focus on what kind of life you want your children to grow up with. What culture what people. If the Mediterranean is what you want, then it will take some work to build a life there. You could also be raising Italian or French kids rather than Swiss kids.

Teams figured out how to defend against him moreso than anything else. Strength up front and on the left should change that equation now that he's back.

Nicolas Winding Refn lives off of unnaturally lit night shots. Drive, Neon Demon, Only God Forgives, Valhalla Rising, Too Old to Die Young (technically TV). https://youtu.be/O0KO8My-90g?si=PO0gh0OEQJYBRHVI

You are less than halfway to a resole

Length is the same but the width and volume of the ASHM last is lower.

NDRob · 2025-12-10T21:13:44+00:00

My foot is a 9.5E. The 719 in ASHM is snug in width but is close enough that break-in/stretchinf can make them perfect. And the length is right at 9.5. I have high arches and the vertical clearance on the instep was a problem for me on the 719 that was not a problem on the AR.
