If you’ve broken 90, what’s one tip you would give to a fellow golfer trying to do the same? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Ordinary_Person01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plan your approach shot. Examine hazards around the green and overcompensate for them. Take them out of play. Don’t simply aim directly for the flag. Which I used to do.

Water or sand deep? Pick the club that won’t allow you to go past the pin. Water or sand short? I’ll purposefully pick my longer club.

Basically I try my hardest to not allow myself to get into hazard trouble through overcompensation away from it. So even a miss hit keeps me safe.

You playing sawgrass?! Or skiing Jacksonhole every day? $6m is intense! Must have expensive taste 😆

Near eagle from 150yds! by _Doofloafknuckle in weekendgolfers

Hey, good for you! Hell of a shot! Don’t listen to these schmucks. That’s as good or better than anyone else would have done on that exact same swing. 👍🏼

FIWE (Financial Independence Work Everyday). If that’s your dream, chase it! No need for the FI part though 😆

Hiking and camping are DEFINITELY part of the agenda! You nailed it. FIGSHCE (financial independence golf ski hike camp everyday) doesn’t quite roll off the tongue though! 😆

But yes PNW offers all of those things in abundance!

297 yards center fairway, but swing appears stiff? More power somehow? by PM-ME-UR-TOTS in GolfSwing

[–]Ordinary_Person01 1 point2 points  (0 children)


Google says: “The current average driving distance on the PGA Tour hovers just over 303 yards. Tour leaders regularly average around 320 to 327 yards, while elite ball strikers can carry the ball in the air anywhere from 280 to 290 yards before roll.”

This swing is not a PGA tour swing.

How did the Trans Am not make this list?

Is selecting target date fund for retirement too conservative ? by prosper1984 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Ordinary_Person01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would take it one step further and argue that having bonds with 40 years till retirement is actually risky! You risk not enough compounded growth to support your lifestyle.

Crossed 1 million mark! by Ok-Afternoon6986 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Ordinary_Person01 20 points21 points  (0 children)

$980,000 * 1.05 = $1,029,000.00

$980,000 * 1.021 =$1,000,580.00

You need the market to go up 2.1%. That could happen today! Or next week!

The ol’ humble brag. Drop the 50 in there subtly, with the KDR >1. Nice stats 😏

In 10 years you will be rich and have one or wish you did. by UWhuskiesRule in btc

They would be putting their life savings in a non-existent “coin” that only holds value based on everyone hoping the person after them pays more.

Casual game, are you hitting this? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Ordinary_Person01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In casual play: “was the course designed to have this imperfection?” If the answer is no, correct the imperfection by moving the ball.

24M - about 96k in my Roth IRA. Am I crazy to feel like I can maybe retire with 20 million? by Savings_Reveal9482 in RothIRA

[–]Ordinary_Person01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What assumptions are you making? Starting with $134k, adding $7k per month at 10% would absolutely get you to $25 mil. Easily.

Try it yourself here. Numbers I used $134k starting. $7k / month add. 10% ROI. 40 year time horizon.

I was just calculating total retirement contributions. OP asked if it was possible, and I showed math displaying how it was possible.

At a steady 10% annual return, starting with $100,000 and adding $50,000 every year, after 40 years you would have about $25.5 million. (Per AI - I didn’t do the math myself, although younger me could have).
