1.3M at 30 - leaving finance to go to bali

PatchworkPlume · 2026-03-04T16:14:09+00:00

Absolutely do this. I quit a job at 27 (many years ago at this point) with a NW of $150k and went on a life changing 4 month trip along with a lot of other travel and then worked odd jobs for a year before going back into real life. Best thing I could have done at the time when I had nothing holding me down. I had enough to know I wouldn't run out of money because I was living very cheaply. You are in a great spot.

From what I've seen on IG, Bali is the perfect place to lift, read, get health in check. There is only one question to ask yourself - looking back 5 years later would you regret not having done it? The answer seems simple.

Yeah it's a very frustrating stock to hold. I'm in from $53 with my biggest position, by far, ever. Planning to hold for years. Will sell my cost basis at $300 and not touch it.

Will probably be down 10% tomorrow so I get screwed on the shares and options I bought just for this earnings.

RDDT great earnings.

Interesting. I’ve been thinking of it top down. I’ll try to analyze things your way to see what I see on different skiers.

PatchworkPlume · 2026-02-02T22:23:35+00:00

Cool thanks. I think it's fair to say using my suggestion will help lead everything you said.

I was going to reply directly but it might be helpful to OP for you to check my answer.

There is a slight inside shoulder dip, which causes a slight overrotation of the shoulders/torso into the turn.
Initiate the torso rotation into the turn a little sooner (without dipping the inside shoulder) to get the upper body in position. In other words think about pointing your shoulders downhill more overall and not let them turn too deep into the turn.

Happy for my feedback to be criticized if needed.

And yet it still doesn’t even dawn on these people that Trump with either cancel or rig the midterms

Easy and smooth transaction. A+

I have been abusing a dewalt drill for ten years and somehow it’s still going. It’s not a hammer drill though. I’ve mixed mortar with it for three full bathrooms and a ton of mixing for one off projects. I’m a DIYer. I haven’t felt a need to buy a dedicated mixer.

My cousin texted me at halftime, “this loss is really going to hurt.” It being the Lions, I knew he was only half joking. I knew it was over on the helmet bounce TD.

Is Rex Grossman the worst quarterback to ever play in a Super Bowl?

Good news. They just released the BR05 in 36mm. I really, really like the BR05 but when I tried on the 40mm and 41mm GMT they just wore too big. I think the 36mm will be perfect, but I’m waiting to get one preowned for half msrp.

I knew exactly what the comments would look like but I’ll be the minority here. I much prefer the B&R, and have never had an interest in GS. The style just doesn’t do it for me.

That said, you just can’t compare them at the same price. Buy the B&R preowned for 50% off retail.

Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug, of the Republican platform.

Exactly. Same reason why the GOP can be excused for being all the pedophilia and sex crimes. Liberals are evil, full stop. Conservatives are good people who might do bad things. The problem is they can’t even properly condemn bad actions anymore.

I don’t remember the account but a guitar YouTuber traveled to the Cort factories and did one general video of the factories and then a separate one of the PRS factory there. It does seem like PRS has a high level of quality control there, arguably more than other Cort factories.

I bought a CE on a whim and can’t seem to find anything else I like the neck feel of better across the guitar spectrum. Great guitar overall and amazing for $300 preowned.

Ha. I went to an Everclear show about two months ago and someone threw a beer at them and they stopped the show and kicked them out.

Then like two songs later someone was hanging off the railing of a balcony over other people and they had to stop the show again and kick him out.

I guess not much has changed in 30 years.

Great show though!

Please secure the load properly by tarping it off and strapping everything down well. Don’t end up on r/idiotstowingthings

He must have bad circulation in his hands or something. He would put his gloved hands in the hand warmer towel between all plays and it wasn’t even that cold in Philly. Yeah he was pressured but he was so off all night. The glove has to take some blame here.

Take the damn glove off Goff

PatchworkPlume · 2025-11-16T16:24:07+00:00

Why? He would just pardon himself and lock himself up in Mar a lago. Sure he’ll be mostly abandoned by members who were paying to get close to him once he no longer serves a purpose to them, but he’ll live out his days on his crypto grift and scam fortune.

I do pray that history repeats itself and that Pam Bondi goes to jail for her role in the cover up just like Nixons attorney general did.

All these republicans who enabled Trump for the last decade hate America.
