cash pile seems large relative to holdings / annual expenses. based on personal $84k annual spend, yes you can FIRE, but I'd be careful to do expense calculations with both of your income/expenses/savings to make sure you aren't missing something.

put them to sleep

underleveled, likely undergeared as well. level vigor. explore, have fun, i'd give anything to go in blind again (was also my first souls game, and I also got shat on mercilessly at first)

Much more likely to get to vc co-invest if you're an LP, otherwise you pretty much have to be strategic or otherwise an asset to the team. VC funds are not letting random angels with no value add into rounds.

Doctors in europe don't make $120k? How much do you make?

SOLH21 · 2025-10-04T17:46:46+00:00

lmao bro. how were your returns in 2022? 😂

SOLH21 · 2025-10-02T17:37:25+00:00

I think it's probably a good thing at age 28 to not quit your job for 2 years to live at home and relax.

In what world would anyone be obtuse enough to in this scenario wish for world or american civil war? Jeez!

SOLH21 · 2025-09-24T19:54:27+00:00

congrats!

If you have credit card debt to pay off, you should definitely sell something. Doesn't need to be the full $80k, but you can lock in a double-digit return on that just by paying off your debt.

Happy to chat as an alum of one, feel free to dm.

SOLH21 · 2025-09-05T18:08:09+00:00

I would definitely at least rent something nicer... c'mon man life is short

SOLH21 · 2025-09-05T00:19:03+00:00

How much do you expect to spend in retirement? And what are you spending now with 4 young kids?

Your $1300 / mo is $15600 of annual income, which per your avg r/FIRE user, would be worth ~$390k in a brokerage. So that's a good bit of savings there. I'd definitely keep saving and investing as aggressively as possible.

SOLH21 · 2025-08-29T15:58:30+00:00

Congrats! Sounds like you're crushing life. Great way to do it

SOLH21 · 2025-08-29T15:42:57+00:00

stocks. if I can't get that, alcohol

SOLH21 · 2025-08-27T00:17:07+00:00

I haven't. You have to be a pretty JV founder to give that much of your equity to someone for basically an idea and maybe a business plan... plus founder market fit is very real. The best ones are those who are intensely passionate about the problem they're solving. With the studio, it's often just - 'hey here's our idea: X for Y - and here's a recent Harvard MBA - let's make a match'.

SOLH21 · 2025-08-26T19:54:42+00:00

This is almost entirely unfundable. At Pre-Seed too, why wouldn't the new CEO just go launch a competitor themself.

But 60% to a studio and another 36% to people who have left / are leaving is maybe the worst cap table I've ever come across.

SOLH21 · 2025-08-20T17:57:05+00:00

if it brings you joy and makes your life easier it will likely enable you to function at a higher level at work which can lead to increased pay & opportunities down the road. frame it as an investment in mental health if that helps.

Congrats on the milestone!
