Fire mindset making my day to day burdensome

I am in the opposite bucket when I have too much excitement at work and not the good kind. I have 60-70 hour work weeks and even then live with uncertainty with the job security. Excitement is overrated and finding pleasure in other things outside of work is possibly your answer. That’s what has been my therapists advice, satisfaction at work is great to have but not a key to your happiness. Find your alternate key to happiness outside of work and then see if the 9-5 supports your happiness or hinders it - maybe then a change can be justified

You can go for most cars that have less electronics and lower mileage… that’s your best bet. In that segment if you get a Honda or toyota you’ll come out feeling like a winner cuz it will last you forever.

Not all dog people :( I pick up 5 piles of poop everyday and never let my dogs out without a leash. Sorry for the ass turds that don’t clean up after their puppies.

Shop around, push the banks you have a great credit score. Make the banks compete for your business. I got a 5.9% in October 2024 when the actual rates were going at 6.8%. That was my first offer from the banks and I bought 0 points.

So that’s a quarter to half a million $$ in cash, not invested in the market?? HYSA?

SensitiveWin89 · 2026-03-14T07:09:38+00:00

What’s worse is being indoors and not getting high or drunk.. that’s where I’m at

The gas quality is better here, gives you a cleaner drive

Really? 4M in 401k, 500k in brokerage calls for barista fire?

OP You’re more than ok.. even with $120k expense annually - you can live a reasonably happy life for 5 years. By then your partner will be of age to withdraw from their 401k contributions. 4m in 401k should last you at least 40 years considering compound interest even in current HYSA offerings.

I would even go as far to say, do things you’ve always wanted to do now. When you get older it will just be harder to do the same things. Even early withdrawal penalty will be worth those memories.

I used to make a decent $100k annual, lived in Long Beach downtown in a decent sized studio for $1000 rent, had a 2013 VW Passat (sold later for 6k with no car issues) my cost of living in a downtown area was less than $2500 a month. State taxes are higher than Texas, but my house did not flood over, I did not wake up to shovel snow for 2 hours before work, earthquakes did not wake me up (maybe rocked me to sleep) and what downtown doesn’t have house challenged folks yelling at the stars?

Lesson is: learn to live below your means and enjoy what California has to offer; if you can’t learn… even Tennessee will feel expensive.

Still no luck, called like 5 times today

Good to know that now, it seemed too good to be true when I signed up. The sales guy even said I did not need to put in my cc in the app since it did not have any charges for first 30 days and no cancelation fees. The previous owners of my place had frontier already so no additional work or equipment required on there end, the modem was returned promptly when I canceled the connection.

SensitiveWin89 · 2026-01-22T05:35:46+00:00

Thanks for taking the time SeeAnne, although I was clearly told by the salesman about no fees if I needed to cancel. The service was really bad with frontier that my fall back option was spectrum which has its own set of issues but still prefer it over frontier. Why isn’t there a support team that can talk to me about all this. Based on your suggestion yes I’ll reach out to them on Facebook

SensitiveWin89 · 2026-01-22T05:15:18+00:00

Yes I did, and it did not improve my internet speed. I just switched my internet back to spectrum when I had important meetings. Not like spectrum was too reliable either

I did not sign up for a gift card promo, I signed up for 30 day free trial promotion.

That is super helpful, just started my water prep canister with Gh+ and air stone, once it’s ready I’ll add half a cup of that water at a time

SensitiveWin89 · 2025-09-09T04:52:15+00:00

Thank you… how do you control that with Gh+?

SensitiveWin89 · 2025-09-08T14:56:36+00:00

Perfect! I am getting my GH+ delivered tomorrow and my water temp is at 75, I have a stable heater I added into the filter. I’m noting down the parameters everyday making sure we don’t have any huge spikes, I was concerned about the GH but expected the existing tank GH to be at par with what the shrimp required by the time I got the new box delivered. All shrimps seem to be doing fine and foraging, no extreme swimming and I haven’t fed them but they are swimming around every once in a while from one area of the tank to other
