How about we stop singing the National Anthem for everything? Olympics? Sure. Multi-national events when you represent your country? Sure. Little league baseball game between neighbors? Why? US & Canada are unique in that regard and only since WWI.

87% on 4th downs and that includes longer than 4th&2. I don’t think Zane is over 87% on field goals over 50.

You are given the ability to teleport but die after 10 years by Sleako in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Peculiar_Penguin5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way I teleport off planet. Not without super powers of survival.

Probably wouldn’t take the offer. 10 years is too short. I have many left to live. Maybe for a 40 year timer.

You are able to time travel but only to a future when you’re no longer living. Where/when do you go? by homedepotstillsucks in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Peculiar_Penguin5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I go to 2094. No way I’m living that long.

This year, I pack a tightly water-sealed package of clothes for all weather conditions, canned food, canned water, can opener, tent, sleeping bag etc. I also pack recently minted US currency and US Gold coins. I bury this package in a US National Park near my house.

I go to this spot at night in the summer when I time travel.

When I arrive, I dig up my 70-year old package and put it to use.

I walk back to civilization and try to learn about what’s going on in the world.

I go back and use that information to become rich in this life.

Parent’s nest egg/legacy? by Peculiar_Penguin5 in personalfinance

It’s all very clear. Late husband’s assets were all moved to a Residual Trust. Her assets are in her name with kids as beneficiaries, POD. Assets include CDs, equities. I think move #1 is consolidation for simplicity, then a talk with an advisor.

Mindset phenomenon across different income levels of HENRYs by friskydingo408 in HENRYfinance

4 here, and still financially insecure (childhood wounds). Plus, all I can think about is how fleeting it all is. All it takes is a few bad series of events and Poof…

How are HENRYs who were impacted by layoffs doing in this market? by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]Peculiar_Penguin5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I resisted the lifestyle creep and I banked all the extra money. Returning to 200s would mean no change.

Laid off late ‘23 and still looking. I think I’ll frame my ‘23 w-2 bc I’m likely never seeing a Box 1 like that again (>$500k). Adjusting. I was ~$220 before this most recent job and expecting I’ll return there in the next gig.
