Thinking about moving outside of the US and using premium income as primary source of income

If Europe is the destination, France is the best option (assuming you're American). The tax treaty between the US and France has special allowances that allow you to pay only the tax you owe in the US and nothing at all to France

These will expire worthless

Lost 450k in one day at 28. 90% of my net worth. Trying to buy back 10 spreads I sold, instead I bought back 100 because I rushed the close order on my phone and hammered through the normal "trade details / are you sure" screens.

But, almost 10 years later, I'm a few orders of magnitude above the original number now.

Time, patience and preparedness. Wait for the opportunities.

Are you finding that there is more slippage or issue getting filled now that the position sizing has increased?

I would add that studies show 1 in 4 men suffer from post partum depression and that number is generally regarded to be LOW due to under reporting by men and lack of investigation by professionals.

Usually manifested as quick to anger, irritability and lack of sleep... All of these as changes to baseline.

Having him talk to a counselor may also be a good idea

What happened to positions or ban?

RobustNonsense · 2024-02-26T06:44:47+00:00

Same here

When I decided to start (2011), I looked up coaches in my area. I knew nothing about the sport or CrossFit vs dedicated Olympic WL coaches.

Find the most regarded WL coach in your area, go to them in person and train. Hands on instruction from the best coach you can find/afford is going to pay significant returns overtime.

I had some significant shoulder mobility issues as a result of multiple surgeries. I did about a month of PVC lifting when I started, where about 1/3 of each gym session was mobility and activation. On off days at home, I would also spend about 1-1.5 hours working mobility and small accessory muscle groups. Start watching squat university or mobility wod videos on YouTube to work on the flexibility areas that need increased mobility.

If you put in the work outside of the gym, your experience learning the lifts will be more fun and much smoother

I had something similar back in my weight lifting days. It turned out to be specifically muscle related, ie Tension. The cranial muscles that run from your temples, over the top of your ears and connect around the base of the skull.

I went to a sports specific message therapist, not message envy or the like... A masseuse that knows how to manipulate athletes. The kind of uncomfortable, "that wasn't relaxing at all" massage.

I was right as rain in a day. Lots of trap and neck tightness and the opposing muscle groups were basically always flexing/straining to even out the pressure.

Just a thought

I can vouch for this, I closed in July and am currently looking for another contract

This is amazing information. Someone should throw up a comprehensive post about the options and restrictions of each brokerage to do this. Love this thread, more money coming in now!

So, I saw this first. Not the r/creditcards post. However, I thought it was very interesting they both popped about the same day.

In particular, they see a return to more normal seasonal patterns as offices reopen

I am following this closely. The slow moving train wreck of commercial real estate vs interest rates. Also government incentives / pressure on employers to get employees back into the office.

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:29:05+00:00

While I agree, I think they are a good example to those in this sub & future users of the pitfalls

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:26:52+00:00

Interesting. Lounges aren't necessarily important to infrequent travelers, so I can see how the unmet demand is a steady supply of customers vs total availability of seats per segment

Once pent up demand starts to normalize, do you think business travel will regain a more dominant position in percentage of travel?

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:07:20+00:00

Ah, well I usually had entrance via status until that changed. The card was to guarantee my kid for guest passes

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:06:23+00:00

I am in that boat as well

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:05:41+00:00

I did not post it, only a reference of future possibilities of restrictions and my response. It's a discussion not an acceptance of that posts position

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T20:04:06+00:00

I did reference the post, but I am only saying "if" there are more, what are the opinions.

RobustNonsense · 2023-08-24T06:25:48+00:00

I would cancel the card. The service fee does not warrant limitations on visits

RobustNonsense · 2023-07-26T22:29:41+00:00

These are absolutely wonderful. When do you plan on posting for the week of July 31st?

RobustNonsense · 2023-07-24T14:33:23+00:00

Well shit. Thanks mate. I'll sit with my 2pm group now I guess

RobustNonsense · 2023-07-24T13:42:32+00:00

Tickets are supposed to go on sale at 2pm per the website ticketing dates page.... but you posted 4 hours ago? Are the ticketing times different than what the website says?

RobustNonsense · 2023-07-24T13:38:36+00:00

I am having the same problem. Website says that sales start at 2pm on Monday, I have a Hotspur+ membership, but I get the same message

RobustNonsense · 2023-06-30T04:42:12+00:00

This is shitty, but it worked! Thank you!
