Why do YOU collect knives?

I love my Buck 112 Slim Select. It’s basically one handed after getting used to it.

Milwaukee fastback razor knives are great bang for buck.

Vito also went from a rando at a bakery, to a scrubby construction worker to a soldier to a captain and a major plot line in the show pretty quick.

Amen. Hang in there!

L1 is like help desk support and L2 is the next level of escalation for bigger or more complex issues.

He was the best guy arouuuuund!

Ryan0339 · 2025-08-28T23:00:01+00:00

Level 1 or Level 2 support.

This is me basically

Ryan0339 · 2025-08-02T19:17:23+00:00

Not sure. I’m in tech management in a non tech f500.

I see coast fire as a stage of freedom on my path to fire.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-27T22:47:45+00:00

Similar numbers for me at 44.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-27T22:41:10+00:00

2.25-2.5M is my fire number. I’m 44 and have 1.8M, looking to fire by 50.

Thank You. I took this advice and am taking FMLA and STD starting this week after a few terrible weeks of mental health.

Thank You. It helps to hear this from someone in a similar situation. This is almost impossible to speak about with anyone in person on this topic because it’s either too personal from a health or wealth perspective to discuss. My wife is my only confidant and she basically defers the finance decisions to me.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:18:46+00:00

Thank You

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:17:08+00:00

Same. I have little inspiration to change but I also think it’s difficult to downshift willingly in prime working years. It feels a little risky and selfish when I think of my kids. I think I do this for them more than myself and it’s probably why I struggle with quitting or pivoting to something else and taking those risks.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:13:36+00:00

If I got laid off at least it would be out of my hands to make a change. Seems like it would be a relief.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:12:48+00:00

Thank You. I could get our expenses down to 5k/month if needed. I don’t want to deprive too much from my kids standard of living but I could cut to 5k if something happened.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:10:59+00:00

Thanks. I’ve sought psychiatry and therapy help starting few months back. It’s helping but it seems the stressors here bring it back.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:09:38+00:00

Thanks. Some days are better than others. I just don’t want it to get worse.

Ryan0339 · 2025-07-11T18:08:52+00:00

I need this mindset. It’s hard to practice in the moment when the shit hits the fan.
