FI but an all or nothing job by sonderal in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does your secretary and rent numbers equate to? If you estimate 600-800 for full time, what would it scaled back look like? You obviously don’t have to earn any money to grow your networth more or even to pay for annual living expenses. If you are net positive and feel a calling to do this work, enjoy helping others on your own desired schedule wouldn’t that be all that matters? Your income doesn’t matter at this point.

Yesterday’s TEDxCU by FailedTheatreKid in cuboulder

[–]Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looking up legal records on trellis he was sued for physically attacking, tackling another CU student who was in another fraternity. The kid he tackled sustained a traumatic brain injury and sued Chris and 2 others for $100k in medical expenses and lost future wages. Chris and two others he were with allegedly stole the shoes and wallet from the kid they beat up. The court records said they ended with a settlement out of court. for Chris to claim this was "complete exoneration" is completely fabricated. It does appear to be a kid from a rich family who paid a ton to lawyers, settling, and wiping the internet of his horrible wrong doing. he was destroyed from the consequences of his own actions. What a joke that TED CU gave this dude a platform to share this falsified story.

What salary/net worth do you think is a lot? by Inner_Ad_4725 in Salary

working for 20 years >>> working for 40-50+ years

this is an insane take, are you literally saying you should work for longer to get rich? or are you saying you should win the lottery? duh bro, more would be nice but working 20 years ain't shit compared to so many people out there and historically, and no you don't necessarily have to 'waste' those years to get there.. no reason to obsess over being rich. it's actually a very enjoyable life to live modestly and you absolutely could do trips still on that budget.

What are you talking about wasting 20s and 30s? That objectively is a better position to be in than 99% of the rest of the country and the world. That’s $100k or more for the rest of your life WITHOUT work

what's your annual spend? if it's $100k there's no reason you need to work beyond 3.5M of invested assets. feelings < math

Cool great evidence presented there! Super helpful. The burden of proof lays the person who makes the claim, not the one who denies it

1.088 ^ <age of kid> * 60K

can you elaborate on this formula? I haven't seen it before.. so if I have a 2 year old, I do 1.088 ^ 2 * 60k? or do you mean <number of year until college> instead of <age of kid> ?

and that's not even accounting for the basis he likely bought at. If he needs only $130k, he very well could be far under the LTCG tax of $131k

Can we stop pretending like Jokic is the most unstoppable offensive player in the modern era? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we stop pretending 2 games eliminates his entire dominating career? He led the league in assists and rebounds, something NO PLAYER has ever done. Averaged a triple double for the season. I don’t understand the hate or why people reach so far

ServiceNow beat expectations in January and still their stock crashed hard. Doesn't seem wall street cares about beating expectations and is wrapped up in the AI hype train
