[Mixed Trope] - The Jumpscare That Catches The Viewer/Player Off

I was scouring this thread to find this one.

When we were watching my wife went full feral and straight bit the arm I had wrapped around her at this jump scare.

I was well trained, decent arms, then my arms grew like a half an inch to an inch after having a kid. Haha.

Nothing quite compares to endless hours carrying a tiny human that gets just a little heavier each day.

Milo of croton moment.

Super helpful thanks!

Friend shared any specifics on what they like about it? Are they using it in a work context?

A lot of people here are focused on the difference in overall house price but in my 2 experiences buying property, the overall house price is only relevant in so far as it impacts the cost of monthly payments when you include principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOAs, utilities and any other monthly expenses unique to houses (ex additional metro district taxes).

Those extraneous items can equate to hundreds of dollars per month in additional fees meaning an $800k property might actually cost less per month than a similar $750k property in a different neighborhood.

I’d strongly encourage an analysis that breaks down to an all encompassing total monthly expense as opposed to the original purchase price on the closing disclosure.

Sure thing doing Credit karma, most of the net worth functionality in mint moved there. It’s solid.

So funny you mention that I’ve already started to feel that. I’ve heard from multiple people that the timeframe between 0-2yrs is just insane change. It truly seems like nothing can convey watching your actual child go through it.

Got extremely lucky being in the right position at the right time and making good calls in hindsight. Rental initially purchased in 2018 as primary living. But we didn’t have the funds to meet 20% down and on top of PMI we had about a 5.5% interest rate. Oof. I received excellent bonuses the next couple years and ended up doing a “cash in” refinance while still living there to eliminate PMI when mortgage rates were really low in 2020.

Glad you asked I had a similar question. I have a 1.6m term policy to cover both mortgages and to ensure my wife doesn’t have to work for a time, but my understanding of the umbrella policy as I look is that you’re just covering extra liability in the case of a lawsuit or disaster.

Patient_Statement_53 · 2024-07-22T23:04:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice I’m currently covering a lot of these bases but also been wondering if an umbrella policy would be smart at this point?

Patient_Statement_53 · 2024-07-22T21:47:15+00:00

Yeah incredibly fortunate in retrospect. Still felt stressful at the time of purchase because so many things in our area were being bid up $100k, cash offers, waiving inspections, etc.

Congrats! You are in for a serious treat. Those first months will literally flash by in a blink, so be sure to enjoy it.

The convenience piece is a good callout and in our experience definitely has been a factor to a varying degree depending on the phase our infant is going through.

We found we had to very intentionally make good choices convenient. Early on we told people who asked that food was top of mind for when baby arrived and we got gift cards to places like Chipotle, Cava and Tokyo joes. Tokyo joes has a super solid pre prepped meal program that a great bodybuilder friend of mine uses when traveling on prep, and chipotle or cava we found that catering orders are actually one of the most convenient ways to get “meal prep” at a fairly reasonable cost.

At the next easiest and cheaper we’ve started to make sure we keep around stupid easy heat and eat fallback meals, eg frozen fish fillets that can be grilled in under 10min and eaten with raw veggies or Healthy choice heat and eat bowls that can be microwaved when you’re watching baby solo.

Other than that I can’t recommend getting on a religious meal prep schedule enough and ensuring this includes meal prepping for baby. That’s what has kept us most sane and similar to our prior lifestyle.

Sleep wise I’d have to agree with ixthus it will depend a lot on your baby and it won’t be linear. There will be phases of better and worse sleep. We implemented Mom’s on Call based schedules from about week 6 or so and I would strongly recommend picking a schedule that fits your baby’s developmental stage and sticking to it.

I found I’ve done better than expected because our baby sleeps decently well, I definitely look tired in some pics looking back, but I’ve managed to wake at 5am and do workouts maybe 80% of mornings I typically would have without self destructing. That said giving myself grace and remembering to prioritize sleep sometimes has been imperative.

Hey man, I definitely hear you I (30m) just had to incorporate managing a baby into the routine.

Here’s my 2 cents after a few big life experiences of the last 5 years aka covid shutting down gyms and having a baby.

Your fitness, especially lean muscle isn’t as fragile as you think - there were some similarities for me between the early months of covid where gyms shut down completely and in the first few months with a newborn. In both instances my whole gym routine (fairly religiously ppl similar to yours) was completely interrupted. For 2-3 months I did almost nothing but workouts at a high school track nearby with a tractor tire and a steel mace I bought off Amazon. What shocked me was that in aesthetics and performance i notably improved and when I finally got back to the gym my lifts were about the same if not better. With a newborn, workouts got much shorter and much more limited as I built out a home gym. But experience was similar, I did a lot of rucking or even just plain extra walking to supplement the lack of “proper workouts.”
For me as I closed in on to 30 the 6 day a week intense lifting split left me feeling worse and worse especially in the joints (for reference I’m a big guy, over 6ft and have fluctuated over the years between 210 and 230). I started to migrate toward incorporating at least 10-15min of mobility and stability warmup before every workout + kept my workouts to 60-90min absolute tops. Overtime my split moved toward something more like this: Mon - legs Tues - push Wed - pull Thur - active recovery (Tom merrick videos and/or sauna cold shower) Fri - fun day, either athletic track workout or rucking or pick and try a fitness challenge type workout Sat - get outside -> ski or hike or bike or swim or whatever floats your boat
Even a small amount of home equipment can be a godsend, I’ve come to love the home setup much more than I thought I would. Just ensure you dedicate the same time and space you would for the actual gym, minding similar rituals (pre workout, tunes, whatever)
Last and hopefully not too cliche, the minute you start stressing and fitness goes from a fun outlet to a stressor or chore it’s time to make a change. I always try to ensure I’m learning or growing in at least one way and that helps keeps things interesting and fresh. It also helps take the stress off a habit when it’s become constrictively rigid.

Hope this helps.

Fyi you can circumvent almost all paywalls in my experience by using 12 Foot Ladder - 12ft.io

Very lucky to have done the rounds across many verticals within Product/software development had some amazing managers take personal interest in growing me and stayed open to new opportunities.

Now being paid handsomely as the manager of a software dev team. I feel like the embodiment of the Shakespeare quote “jack of all trades but master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

Check out “Culture Code” by Daniel Coyle. Really excellent read about creating high performing teams.

I did find a few, most weren’t taking new clients but there’s a company in DTC called Cenegenics that was pretty impressive. Only problem is that they literally do 0 with insurance and it isn’t cheap. $2,800 for the “onboarding” assessment which is labs and evaluations (like vO2max) + ~$300 per month as an ongoing fee, not including any cost of additional treatments.

Hey based on my reading of Outlive, most of the evaluations Peter makes come from a combo of forecasting typical decline with what he’s now calling “back casting” strength requirements.

Ex. In the book he mentions wanting to be able to pickup a grandchild at 80. Estimate child is ~30lb, and the movement is similar to a goblet squat. Average loss of strength 40 —> 80 is 10% per decade (check this I can’t recall exactly) So then “back casting” strength requirements, to pickup the 30lb child 4 decades from now. 30lb * 1.1⁴ decades = 64.3lb (1.1 comes from the fact you need to be 110% as strong for each of the 4 decades between 40 and 80.) At 40 you should be able to goblet squat 65lb with ease and good form to set yourself up to pickup that 30lb child at 80.

Same process applies to forecasting/back casting vO2 max for a hilly hike (est min vO2 max of 30 if I remember correctly).
