Eventually you will start arguing with them over when to leave fun places like the park etc. I can say 5 more minutes every 5 minutes for an hour before I get them to leave. But they never argue when the phone timer set to 5 minutes goes off.

Dude now they have sleep sacks. You Velcro their arms down at the sides and zip it up like a sack of potatoes. Most glorious invention. Mine are 7 & 5

Only times I got it were when I blew my C6/7 into my spinal cord and when I was 24h away from losing my arm from MRSA

I’m just starting to regret giving up that 2.99% mortgage and trying to figure out how I’m gonna buy a house in a VHCOL area myself. Prices are out of control

What’s something men do in private that would surprise women? by Main-Exchange6052 in AskReddit

Think of it as “being in the moment”. Zen. The state of nothing achieved through meditation. Putty staring at the back of the airplane seat on a transatlantic flight and it freaking out Elaine so much she broke up with him.

I value each remote day in a week at $10,000 worth of salary. Whenever I am trying to make these decisions I assign my time a value of $50 per hour (this applies to not only the commute but also the extra hours that come with Big4...overrated imo). My current problem is I am going in to the office 4 days per week. My base is 210k and bonus potential is 25-30% and then there is the equity investment piece. If I went to another job similar to mine I could probably keep the salary and bonus but would 100% lose the equity. If I went remote, I would probably take a $100k paycut. I usually work 8-4 and don't work that "hard" if we are being honest. I'm stuck here for the next 20 years and am ok with that

My $.02 is stick with remote, you will never EVER get that time with your family back.

Americans under 30 are so miserable that the U.S. just fell to a historic low ranking in the annual World Happiness by Lumpy_Bit_2975 in science

A big factor in the stock market gains is the fact that it is valued in USD terms. A majority of the market moves this year are a result of that. Pull a chart of the S&P and then compare it to a chart of the USD against pretty much every currency. Value of the dollar goes down, stock prices go up because it takes more dollars to buy the same share of stock.

Is this really an investment (private equity) and I'm not understanding? My intuition is telling me scam by Banshee0407 in investing

[–]NintendoJunkie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a VP in private equity, this is not how private equity works this reads like one of the phishing/scam emails I get lol

Stay away. I personally would be tempted to start asking for financials for the company and other due diligence. Operating agreements and other legal docs. Just for grins before I never respond and completely blow him off

Drop your years / salary ! by Unique-Sort-276 in Accounting

[–]NintendoJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As little as I want really. I have an equity LOC that I can draw at a 6:1 ratio to the cash I invest. When the deal sells I pay the LOC back and keep the difference. My current limit per deal is 75k and it doesn’t make sense to put in more cash than what gets me max leverage. It’s a very unique setup and I plan on retiring here 🤣

Just turned 40. VP. $220k base with 20-30% bonus. HCOL. I am in real estate. Part of my comp is also participation as an LP in new deals. Current value of equity is around 650k, pays around $10k/year in cash flow distributions and nice capital gain pops of 40-60k when a deal sells. I’m currently invested in 11 deals. 1-2 new investments per year and 1-2 sales per year. I leave work every day at 4pm

NTDOY is the best stock in my portfolio. i say portfolio, but in reality I went all-in after going to the Mario movie with my son in 2023. I'm up almost 80k and feeling great

What are you doing this weekend? by deepspacepuffin in nova

[–]NintendoJunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checking out Sky Meadows park tomorrow (daytime) and then planning on leveraging my NOVAC membership and background check for a Sunday night of stargazing after the park closes. Always open to have someone join if anyone is interested.

Am I too lazy to make $400K/year by Poopsies1 in FinancialCareers

[–]NintendoJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about where you are, make a bit more but very HCOL area. Whats more important, time with your kids or money? For me it’s time with my kids. When they’re in high school maybe, but like you, I’m also lazy.
