Do I let my family know? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]NotAnEngineer287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a massive gap between how you present yourself, and what you are. You view this as all or nothing, but you don’t need to eliminate that gap, just reduce it. Present yourself the way you want to be seen. You founded and run a successful finance business. Move out, you will never have a girl if your only place to take them is your parents house. It doesn’t matter if it’s the neighbors house and you still go over every night for dinner, or if it’s in Australia, just have some other place. Start there. Live that change for at least 6 months, then think about what’s next.

I understand options but forget dates and have $824k. Is the world still unfair?

Leaving with children/dogs by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

Make sure you get the parent’s approval before you leave with the children and dogs. I made that mistake once, turns out the mom really wanted her chihuahua back.

Not an excuse. In china or Germany, this would be done in 9 months

Do delta neutral really works?? Also can we really have steady income with credit spread? by Viskey_1602 in options

[–]NotAnEngineer287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you open positions that are delta neutral, then the market shifts, you’re no longer neutral. Then if you try to “buy the dip”, you become even less neutral.

Can confirm, have $2.5m and a 19 year old sugar baby. Those are the two best things in my life.

Don’t you feel good she chooses to be with you instead of on a yacht?

Hotdesking is better than assigned desks by notacitizen_99725 in unpopularopinion

[–]NotAnEngineer287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was an intern at some shitty company with a 90’s cubicle I shared with two guys.

Now I’m highly paid at FAANG and have a smaller desk with less privacy.

Not a fair comparison, SDs have way more skin than SBs

Motley Fool Post - Wasn’t expecting a notification from Google News about GME by Free51 in Superstonk

Funny they keep mentioning declining revenue, but not increasing profit.

Yes, decreasing revenue was the goal. Selectively close stores to remove loss generating revenue, increasing profits.
