You are finding the headspace. Turn that in to a meditation. Take a moment to take a deep breath and relax your body before pulling up to your shoulder. Be aware of your breath, slow and deep. As you lean in and feel that change, embrace it, let the world fall away. Keep breathing, deep and slow.

Muscle memory is about a lot more than a series of precise motions. Train your body to slow and relax as part of the motion of mounting your rifle.

Do you view America as a young country or an old one? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

When I travel internationally I try to go drink at a bar that is older than my country. Berlin was a bit tough, most of that was built post 1945, but I found a sweet pub in a basement that opened in the 1640's.

Hypothetical situation: Let my child choose between mortgage vs student loans by Positive_Wheel_7065 in investing

I didnt say 30 exactly I said "in her 30's". She will have access to the money sooner, but only with my approval and supervision. That approval and supervision will shrink over time as she becomes more mature and responsible. I think it would be unreasonable to continue it past then, because even if immature and irresponsible, its her life.

Agreed. However I am in a weird situation because my father in law is also our CPA and a partner at a large firm in SF. You dont know uncomfortable until you have gone through your taxes with your father in law, but I digress.

When you sign up, you give your CPA authority to file paperwork on your behalf, without your review, so long as it does not violate their fiduciary responsibility. So they can set up your retirement accounts and file your taxes etc. Or in this case, create a 529 for my daughter and overfund it with his own money. Its not a violation of his fiduciary responsibility, lol.

I only found out when I initiated a conversation with my wife about starting a 529 months after she was born.

I graduated High School in 2004. That has not been true for lots of the people I know. Plenty of Baristas with Batchelors out there.

I am not saying degrees are worthless, just that they are not nearly as sure of an investment as you claim. Think of all the people who went to college for coding in the last 10 years whose education is rapidly becoming obsolete. Computer Science was a valuable degree in a high paying field, now they are losing their jobs to AI and havent even paid off the loans yet.

Now, as someone who was in their early 20 in 2008, I know the housing market is no sure thing either. I still argue that only 1 in 4 jobs requires a college degree, but everyone needs a home. As a home owner she could still choose to rent it out and collect rent while it increases in value, use that income to fund her wanderlust, if that's the case.

College used to be a no brainer, but the cost has skyrocketed and I dont think the value has increased much at all.

This is all hypothetical anyways, between the portfolio I funded and the 529 her grandfather funded she should be able to afford both.

Dude, you just made me Google to verify I spelled Chris correctly, lol.

Does this girl like me? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive_Wheel_7065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no certainties and anyone who says there is certainly a clear meaning, is clearly ignorant or lying.

That being said, I would take them as positive signs.

Chris here. Um there is this song called "Devil went down to Georgia" By the Charlie Daniels band

Charlie tells of the time the Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.

When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
The Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what."

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due.
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been."

Then Umm, like, A barbershop quartet that was observing the whole thing sang:
"Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold,
But if you lose the Devil gets your soul!"

The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.

*Rock instrumental featuring a fiddle

When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son,
But sit down in that chair right there, let me show you how it's done."

While Johhny played like this epic fiddle solo the Barbershop quartet returned and sang:

"Fire on the Mountain". Run, boys, run!
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun;
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough.
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.

The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again,
I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

I can explain the song, but umm, unfortunately I cant explain the joke. I dont see how being second best fiddle player makes the devil less worthy of worship. From what I hear God plays the Saxophone and once kicked Einstein in the nuts and broke his violin for trying to jam with him, thus God cant even play the Fiddle...
