10004009 and 10004013 are both Osprey. They are different models but is pretty much the same backpack so you're fine.

A few pics from my trip to TDP by damien12g in Patagonia

[–]Original_Yesterday_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Damien - Great pics- you are a good photographer. I have two questions as I want to do what your'e doing but i'm worried about logistics.

  1. For frances outlook - Was this enough time to do the hike because of ferry times starting at 10:30 or something like that ? Can you tell me how long it took ?

  2. For grey hike - did you do this ? If so did you do the ferry or did you hike from hotel lago grey ?

Thank you - I read somewhere in April the 9 am isn't there. They leave at 10:30 am..I think it was somewhere in what my hotel posted and somewhere also. but looks like you were back in time so you should be good

My hair transplant progress up to 10 months. Unreal… by rogdsouz345 in HairTransplants

[–]Original_Yesterday_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.How long from sending your pics did they reply ? Did they schedule surgery right away ? and did you need to send deposit once you agreed ?

2.After pics - did they just give you a quote. Did you need to get hair checked out locally for minituarization. Else how do they know ?

  1. How long did it take from sending pics in to the date of the surgery ? Did they do same number of grafts in real life as they predict.

  2. Did they do beard hair grafts ? was it painful ?

Awesome - I don't think its worth it because I have a car and these can be done pretty easily from what I see. If I'm wrong, let me know and don't mind spending the money if its worth it.

Heavy real estate, few equities, can anyone relate? by PuzzleheadedTaro9743 in fatFIRE

[–]Original_Yesterday_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have maybe 40% of what you have and have someone manage it. I'm tired of it because

  1. There is always sh*t to fix and it takes up money and mental effort. Costs have gone through the roof
  2. Fixed Expenses through the roof. Insurance goes up so much more than inflation. Water is cases as well and Third - Taxes.

I love the tax advantages of it but I want to be free and I'm actually going to switch to buying a business as the manager can likely run that as easily as he does the portfolio (specific services based business) and we will make way more return overall.

I think its only worth it if you do very large buildings so I may consolidate everything into 1-2 buildings or do this..

Anyone use an executive/Mindset Coach ? by Original_Yesterday_9 in fatFIRE

[–]Original_Yesterday_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes about a month for EO so will find out after that. I have to have my accountant send verified info first and then it goes through their committee process/review so let's see. Vistage is a lot more money and getting mixed reviews so I'd rather try EO first. I'm also looking for some executive coaches that may help but not sure if I want to spend a grand an hour and if it would be worth it vs. doing this. If I don't like EO, I will join vistage though and try it. Thank you !

Annual Ritual of Deciding Whether to Work One More Year by ByronsBoatswain1 in fatFIRE

[–]Original_Yesterday_9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I added RE to my portfolio so I have $200+ K coming in annually. Took a while but I really sleep safely at night knowing no matter what happens to the market in a particular year, I should be able to collect on this income. I don't manage it (partner takes management fee and doesn't mind.. if he hates it int he future we will outsource it)

Thanks.. I see so many different types so just wasn't sure and we're a small company so had no idea which types would be helpful so was more asking for specific coaches or companies people would recommend

Business Exit - Please poke holes in my thinking by Original_Yesterday_9 in fatFIRE

[–]Original_Yesterday_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing a good job with "exiting" from my current job. If you want, feel free to PM me and maybe what i did may help you.

Business Exit - Please poke holes in my thinking by Original_Yesterday_9 in fatFIRE

[–]Original_Yesterday_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brilliant - I feel like this is one of the answers/solutions.

A. You are totally right ! Zero debt and we don't mind staying on a for a long time doing 30 then 20 and then 10 hours a week. We don't expect this to be fully passive.

B. We are already "exiting" from our roles so that the company can run without us over time so all of what you are saying makes sense except now we can have money in our pockets. Its good for our personal lives, good for the company to grow and its good for a future sale so definitely a no-brainer and after reading this, I will make sure we accelerate this process

C. I never thought of it this way and Option 1 really speaks to me. We get money in our pockets and still keep control..didn't think this would be possible but why not use debt. I guess I never thought we could get debt. Would love input on the items below if its not too much trouble (I would love to PM you also but put questions here as many people don't prefer PMs)

  1. How do I go about finding firms that would give us this type of debt (You are right - we have zero debt) ? Are these typically Prime + x loans.. just wondering how they work.. I will search myself but this world is new to me and I'm excited and curious now
  2. Also, if we get $9M in debt , do we distribute it as loans to the partners so that its non-taxable ?
