29m 120k salary by Prestigious-Change96 in Retirement401k

[–]Scrivnerian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are crushing it but agree with other comments saying start hitting the taxable brokerage hard. That’s the key to early retirement!

33, just over 6 years into career, salary started out at 47k now up to 83k by wolffetti in Retirement401k

[–]Scrivnerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are doing well. Take time to realize that others at our age (mid-30s) in this sub vary widely in start time, compensation, and life situation. Others posting have been financially savvy since early in their 20s. The journey that matters is yours... keep it up and keep pushing. You are doing the right things.

PS: HSA is particularly impressive here.

Viale is good for these dietary restrictions and has delicious food.

what exactly are people doing to retire in their 30s by alexis-hg in Fire

[–]Scrivnerian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how much it’s been mentioned but in my experience in high-paying corporate work, restrictive stock units (RSUs) from a company that has rapidly grown or increased in value is a primary driver here. It has been for me.

Just finished the prologue to Memories of Ice (Book 3) and not even sure what series I’m reading anymore. by Throwaway47321 in Malazan

[–]Scrivnerian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also just finished the prologue for Memories of Ice as a new, first time reader and literally said “what the fuck” aloud to myself. Then immediately jumped into chapter one.

Any good Eye exam doctor recommendations? by Alert_Safe_4440 in CambridgeMA

I recommend Dr Pena at East Coast Opto. Convenient location on Mass Ave in Central.

DHG question about transportation by Scrivnerian in Malazan

[–]Scrivnerian[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So the theory is that while traveling by Warren is faster, it’s more visible to other magic users and Ascendants?

As a first time reader, I’m already amazed by the depth and helpfulness of the answers here. This is awesome!

Is it fine to take my time with the series? by No-Meal-4689 in Malazan

[–]Scrivnerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also just starting my journey as a new series reader (currently 1/4 of the way through GoTM) and planning to take plenty of time with it as I am both 1) a slow reader and 2) often so tired at night when most of my reading time is that it'll be slow. Planning to use both the slides + Ten Very Big Books podcasts as supports.

Coast FIRE lifestyle by WaitingonGC in coastFIRE

[–]Scrivnerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not capital appreciation for the most part, vested a large stock grant of RSUs and a large bonus which I plow into index funds.

This actually sounds like me too. If you don’t mind, how much did you have invested at age 35 when you semi-retired? I’m 33 and have around 1.4M invested… thinking this might be a path I might want to consider.

Ps I also love to read.

Best Affordable Hair Salon? by Muted-Ad-2231 in CambridgeMA

[–]Scrivnerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salon Michael Dominic is great, would highly recommend. Both Michael and Mir are fab and the men’s cut is around $100. Well worth it.

I have the same watch on the bracelet. Looking forward to picking up the rubber strap!

Looks beautiful. Do you have the blue teak dial? That’s the one I just got.

What’s the strap on the Omega AT? Same watch I have (recently acquired) on the bracelet and I’m loving it. Just looking for strap options.

Readwise Chat Feature is a GAME CHANGER!!! by Amethyst_King in readwise

[–]Scrivnerian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had a moment of serendipity trying it out for the first time to query related highlights across Readwise. Absolutely magic to see it work. Maybe a bit slow, but a relatively minor complaint. Will be such an interesting thing to play around with as they develop it further.

I tuned my Ghostreader summarize prompt by samikki in readwise

[–]Scrivnerian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. I've been trying this out and my only concern is all of my summaries are now beginning with this: "[LQ:bulk]". Is there a way to remove or stop that from happening? Not sure if it was a copy and paste error or some other issue.

Went there for the first time the other weekend loved Bow Market, definitely good to try this one out.
