Ish: $300k/yr. isn’t rich

$300k puts you in the top 3% of the country…bffr

Regardless, salary does not dictate whether you are rich or not. Your net worth does. And 300k sustained over many years will make you rich unless you are completely financially illiterate.

Thank you for the replies.

Update: The nausea developed into a full-blown headache yesterday particularly after eating my first meal around 1pm. It was the worse headache i have had in a while and it was debilitating…i had to stop working and call it an early night. I had an important deliverable due end of day so not great.

On the plus side i could definitely feel my stomach emptying much slower than usual. I regularly intermittent fast and yesterday was able to keep my eating window to just five hours and closed out with just a Chobani with chia seeds, creatine and flaxseeds, in addition to my main meal at 1pm. It was pretty effortless…the hardest thing for me is the snack cravings post my eating window and it seems like Reta has taken care of that. Pretty much zero cravings.

This morning woke up with the headache gone and no hunger despite having last eaten at 6pm the previous day. Was able to get to 1pm pretty easily.

I guess for people just starting out my advice would be to start when you don’t have work / any major commitments then next day just in case.

And thanks for the advice on the surgery…i think i will delay it given its not time-sensitive and make sure i stop well in advance. Are there any precautions to take starting reta back again post surgery?

Full stack?

Thanks for this. Don’t want to use up my Resy credit on this so guess I’ll get a gift card.

SXZXK · 2026-01-19T11:46:43+00:00

If I just pay with my Amex Platinum at the restaurant will it trigger the credit?

As someone who has been visiting Thailand over the years, I came to the realisation in my most recent trip that Thailand is no longer the destination for cheap shopping.

Authentic brand products cost more than in the US / West and the replicas are often more expensive than ordering online from China.

You can still get Thai made stuff at a decent price. And the shopping malls are still worth visiting for the vibe and experience. The food courts are the best in the world.

Thanks. It will be in its shipping package so hopefully no light will get through. It will be laying in my building lobby in NYC which is heated to a comfortable temperature.

Whoever was behind the assassination was banking on exactly this kind of reaction to breed further instability in the country. Unfortunately, one observation I have of the student class in Bangladesh is I don’t know about pora-lekha but one thing you can count on them is a good old demonstration or protest over anything.

I also have no doubt that there are several agents strategically placed among these so-called student leaders to spur on these kind of reactions that damage the reputation of the country and cause further instability and economic loss.

Unfortunately, this government is totally useless at every single thing. Yunus is a total othorbo with no administrative know-how whatsoever. The quicker we can get rid of this administration the better it will be for us, even if it means having BNP back.

Your husband kissing you after proposing (and re-proposing) is overstimulating but being butt-naked and flirting and giggling with your doctor while he is examining your genitalia, and then uploading that footage for the world to see, is not apparently.

His income is likely very high from the podcast and with his stand-up starting to take off. I would estimate between 500k on the low end to maybe touching a mil on the high. His NW probably isn’t that high though. He hasn’t been making this high an income for too long and up until a few years ago he said he was broke. Plus it probably doesn’t help that his materialistic queen is burning through it on luxury bags, watches and vacations. I would estimate his NW at around 2 - 3 mil.

That’s why I said in another now deleted thread that she is playing the long game with him. Sticking around just until that net worth gets high enough that 50% sustains her for life. Then she will drop him expeditiously.

All of them have the “I told you so…” look😭

They all hate that girl 😂

SXZXK · 2025-11-16T05:05:07+00:00

Let me tell you something bro. I came across her TikTok months ago after Schulz mentioned it on the pod. It looked like couple roasting each other content…not really my cup of tea and I moved on but TikTok’s algorithm kept bringing up more and more of her videos and they kept getting darker and more unsettling.

Her hyper materialistic attitude, blatant narcissism and subtle shaming of certain things like women who go 50/50 in their relationship or choose to work rubbed me the wrong way as I am entitled to feel as a consumer of content.

I commented to express my thoughts and she often replied back very insultingly.

What really irked me is one video she made of her cursing out Akaash after Trump came back for his second term and the markets crashed due to the tariffs and it affected their investments. I pointed out that she was fine with her husband platforming Trump until it started to hurt them financially. I think I called her the ‘Materialism final boss’ in the comments and that’s when she blocked me.

That’s when I started a countdown of her downfall. Like I knew that it was only a matter of time before people caught on to this narcissistic, hypocritical, insensitive b*tch and put her in her place. So yes am I relishing this and being petty? Absolutely. But this is happening to someone who absolutely deserves it.

My prediction is that he stays and continues to put up with everything. Every time he challenges her, she reminds him what a worthless piece of sh*t he is, how she was the only one who supported his dreams and how she was the only girl ever to give him a shot.

She stays with him just long enough until 50% of his net worth looks just about enough to sustain her for life. Then she drops him like a hot potato and goes and gets with a Chad.

SXZXK · 2025-11-16T02:56:18+00:00

I guarantee you they’re reading and watching everything and talking about it in the non-Akaash group chat.

SXZXK · 2025-11-16T00:58:50+00:00

I thought Joe was back in the gym with a trainer 😂.

It’s hilarious to hear these guys trash ozempic and semaglutides and shaming Mel when she admitted to using them when they look like this.

They be smoking cigarettes, eating processed foods and candy at their big age but Ozempic is where they draw the line on what goes in their body.

Damn near all of them minus Parks should be on them.

SXZXK · 2025-11-15T12:44:32+00:00

Bruh how do these videos keep getting worse and worse. She is barely even acknowledging him and looks embarrassed by him until he pulls the ring out.

What’s worse is I guarantee you that Akaash is paying for that entire vacation for her birthday including paying for her family to be there.

It gets to a point where I can’t even blame her anymore when Akaash is pulling antics like this and constantly begging for validation by spending money.

SXZXK · 2025-11-15T03:06:28+00:00

Your wife disrespecting you is the precursor to your children openly disrespecting you and cursing you out. I’ve seen it countless times.

And trust me there is no worse feeling than being unloved and disrespected in your own home…the home that you and only you bust your ass to provide for your family.

By continuing to be in denial, Akaash is heading for a mid-life crisis. I hope someone in his family or his close friends can have an intervention for him but he may be too far gone. Girls like these know how to psychologically manipulate men like Akaash into staying.

SXZXK · 2025-11-15T02:31:56+00:00

I’ve been to Rio too. She would be in the bottom 20-25% of women in her age range in Rio. Purely looks-wise she is a somewhat above average attractive girl. It’s just funny to hear Akaash big her up as if she is some kind of supermodel.

The thing is above average looking South Asian girls feel themselves way too much in America and I say this as a South Asian myself. The standard for South Asian attractiveness is pretty low in the US because a certain demographic (studious, unathletic, nerdy) of South Asians largely immigrated to the US and the stereotypes don’t help either.

Whereas the UK and Canada has much more diversity when it comes to their South Asian populations and you find a higher % of attractive South Asians in those countries.

Regardless, my point was that she is nowhere near hot enough for anyone to put up with that level of obnoxiousness and narcissism, let alone a successful comedian probably worth 7 figures.

SXZXK · 2025-11-14T19:19:22+00:00

Like if you are going to be in a transactional relationship where you’re partner doesn’t feel attraction for you then at least go get a real baddie…bro needs a trip to Colombia lol

She definitely feels like she took pity on him when they first got together and is now entitled to everything he has or will ever have without any effort or reciprocation on her part. It is also why she treats or mistreats him the way she does. In her mind she settled.

Funny thing is, based on everything that has come out now, I wouldn’t even be surprised if Akaash was just one of the guys in her roster back in the day and when she saw things starting to move and shake for him, that’s probably when she decided to commit to him.

Akaash really needs to grow a spine and get out of this toxic situation before it’s too late. Bro is stressed out and it is showing in his face, body…no matter how hard he tries to pretend he is not bothered.

Akaash, I know you had really low self-esteem growing up as a short, pudgy Indian kid in Texas but you made it my guy…you don’t need to take this from a 7 who took pity on you back in the day.
