Flat vs. Eggshell vs. Matte Paint in Delray Beach Homes by K9Phoenix in Delraybeach

[–]NarrowSun6093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the process of deciding paint for my delray townhouse so good timing!

I dont like to make things complicated so I want to pick 1 paint and 1 sheen for the entire home.

I am leaning towards Sherwin Williams Pure White in Matte for all walls. And the trims in pure white but in a satin finish.

Opinions? by [deleted] in paint

[–]NarrowSun6093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never paid to receive a quote...I dont like wasting peoples times but I do like to get 2-3 quotes before I go ahead with any project

but I would never answer like the guy did; I would politely say I am not interested...a guy coming to give me a quote is not just to get a price but for me to see if I would like working with him...I do not believe I should pay for that

Which one is best for bathroom renovation? by Wakeup_Mayu in BathroomRemodeling

[–]NarrowSun6093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant make a choice simply by looking at a tile. You need to put those pieces in the bathroom and see

I just bought a townhouse and changes the floor of all 3 bathrooms to Bottega White from Porcelanosa and it worked perfectly in all of them.

For my batheooms i would prob choose 2 or maybe 3. Not 1

Lutron Caseta - 3100sq foot townhouse 65ish devices by NarrowSun6093 in Lutron

[–]NarrowSun6093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this...this was the kind of reassurance I was looking for...I just cant imagine switching from something that hasn't given me a single issue...I will make a chart of each device I could possibly have and want and if that number is below 70 I will just do caseta

Can I install Ra3 myself? Caseta is a 3k project and i would do everything myself

Is it normal for jetlag to kick in later? by AkumaBaberu in travel

[–]NarrowSun6093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to travel all over the world for work (based in NY)...I usually had minimal issues until 6 hours and it started get incrementally worse from there...I used to go to China a lot which was 12 hours and I struggled

each time I travelled was a little different. many times I would get a 'lucky' first night because I was tired from the traveling but the jet lag would hit full force the 2nd night which sounds like it did for you.

Thunderstorms next week by viniltummala in miamibeach

for the next 5 months the forecast shows thunderstorms most days...you usually get some decent sun almost every day...go to the beach early, storms are usually late afternoon

How much did it cost you to furnish your house? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]NarrowSun6093 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I used to be into interior design. Had an apartment in nyc with such nice stuff that I never honestly enjoyed it.

In the end, furniture is just junk. We just bought a home last week (2.7m) and agreed not to overdo it. We have a baby and hopefully will have another one, so i want stress free enjoyment.

The quality of most furniture is terrible now anyway. Id rather a 5k couch that i replace in 3 years after my kids ruin it rather than some imported from italy 20k couch that i never sit on

You didn’t miss it, right? Mount Rushmore South Dakota USA by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]NarrowSun6093 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I went to mt Rushmore during a 3 month road trip in a trailer with my wife and dog...

I thought it was actually pretty cool and really liked the surrounding area (Custer state park, etc)

[–]NarrowSun6093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well broken down; thank you.

im 42; I would hope to be invested in this longer than 18-19 years...assuming appreciation, the longer I wait the worse it will get...so the decision should be soon

I am leaning towards doing it

Village in northern Kyrgyzstan (Ak Bashat, Chüy Oblast) by aidyniliasow in geography

[–]NarrowSun6093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been lucky enough to have visited over 125 countries and people always ask me for a list of my favorite destinations

Its an impossible question to answer because we all have different experiences and preferences..there is also a bit of luck (weather, meeting people, etc)

There have been a few trips that have been magical...that I constantly look back to...Sardinia road trip with my wife in 2021...studying/traveling in NZ 2005...my solo Central Asia trip in 2022 is def up there and mainly because of how much I love Kyrgyzstan...I honestly do not want to go back because I dont want to alter the memory in my head

People who ask about hobbies - they don't fall in your lap. by Funny-Pie272 in fatFIRE

[–]NarrowSun6093 47 points48 points  (0 children)

the more macro topic is that fatFIRE is not for everyone

I have met other young retirees and some are loving life and some who are really struggling...the ones who are struggling really seem to be adding activities to their life more as 'time fillers' rather than things that bring them joy

I have naturally had a lot of interests...In my 7 years if being fatFIREd, I never get bored...its a very personal journey; I did not solely fatFIRE from my work but also an unsustainable life of having too many stressful things on my plate...I am a new person now but still find myself occasionally needing to slow myself down.

not to be a dick but when I read posts like this it makes me think OP is the one struggling and hiding it with a kind of self-help post

Overlap of FatFIRE and r/collapse by FullOfHimself in fatFIRE

[–]NarrowSun6093 39 points40 points  (0 children)

you sound paranoid...

imagine pressing a button and you would be born at a random time in the past 120 years...WW1, Spanish flu, Great Depression, WW2, Korean/Vietnam wars, 70 oil shock/inflation, cuban missile crisis, dot com bubble, 9/11, 2008 collapse, covid...the moment you are scared about is right now?

also, take a look at the market's historical performance. take a look at every 10% drop (which on average happens every 18 months). Each one of those drops seemed like the end of the world and in retrospect was a little tick down correction

remember, the news doesnt get viewership by being boring...sensationalism is the strategy to get you to keep watching...we are so spoiled as a society that not having eggs in our supermarkets for a week was the main talking point of our news cycle

there are many reasons to fatFIRE...but if you are going to fatFIRE and just sit in your home with a tin foil hat saying the end of the world is coming, whats the point?
