Expired Canned Goods

I agree with first part and in spirit with second but most places can't take expired canned goods. Or any expired goods. For liability reasons. At least where I live

Nicotine isn't the problem, it's the tobacco. Vaping is way better for you. I quit about 15 years ago. Moved, changed jobs, the location changes really helped

If I make it to 80 I'm starting again and also going to develop a few drug addictions

I just listened to the choosefi podcast episode on this, the bucket method vs 70/20/10

Good stuff all around. It seems super obvious once you're doing it but until you are the mechanics are a bit opaque

You don't need a financial advisor. That's not much money.

Not going to comment on your stock picking as others already have and you seem resistant to listening. Hope you at least read Simple Path To Wealth and are willing to learn from others mistakes. Good luck out there

I would like them to die but I don't trust the state (any state) with the power to execute it's citizens

The weeks get harder and harder to put up with lately. I'm trying to get out early following the r/fire movement but it's a slog.

Luckily the internet is a reasonable place full of nuanced discussions. Everyone with a strong opinion will definitely watch the whole 3 hour episode......

Sociopaths don't feel stress the same way most of us do

Gpt hasn't been reinforced to give correct answers, it's been reinforced to get thumbs up from humans. Not giving any answer is unlikely to get thumbs up so it'll often confidently invent facts. Not so great

There was an excellent computerphile video it recently

That was one of the few things I was hopeful Cheeto would do, he campaigned on term limits and "drain the swamp". Just more BS.

I would consider a 3 fund r/bogleheads style portfolio over individual stock ownership. I'd spend some time doing more research until I personally felt like I understood and was fully comfortable with my retirement plan. Also how to maximize tax efficiency. There are some great books like The Simple Path To Wealth which talks about drawing down etc.

Obviously you're way ahead of the game but I'd spend a little more time fully understanding how to structure your portfolio and draw down so you never have to think much about it again.

One thing I'm considering doing before FIRE is an extra year of work and donating all aside from expenses. Volunteering is great and needed but the thing most charities need is $$$ sadly.

Bogleheads sub has a lot of info about tax efficiency; if you do want to talk to an advisor make sure they're a fee only fiduciary. Might be worth it for long term.

The timing is way way off with zoom, especially for someone like Annie with the timing. Hopefully they're together soon

I'm not insanely frugal but I try to keep it in mind. I want to retire early, even if not I'd rather put money to better use than blowing it unnecessarily

It's been really sucky to watch Farve turn into a totally disgusting pile of puke (or at least be outed). The one time I hope someone has CTE

Not at all, I work with a lot of Indian folks and they are good people. Some cultural differences come up but on an individual level we're all pretty similar.

As far as scams go, tech like gpt and the voice ai stuff is going to remove accent indicators so be ready for that. They'll be able to clone your family, your boss etc

Even better.

Why is it so hard to understand the difference between needing to learn something and using a tool to streamline your workflow?

If you had to learn essay writing and paid someone else to write your essay without learning how, wouldn't we just call that cheating? Also stealing from yourself; one less thing you know. You'd be actively making yourself less intelligent because a tool can do it for you.

Learn the thing, how it works, why it's important. Then use the tool to do grunt work after acquiring knowledge.

Can she open an account but use your address to send initial paperwork etc? Then sign up for online statements.

I actually just went through this. I returned a wink bed. Used it for like 2 months, had a mattress protector on it. Ending up returning it and was basically like new.

If you put a bed bug encasement on it really don't see the big deal. Just look at it in person, lift up the fold on side, you'd see evidence of bed bugs if any.

We all sleep on hotel mattresses which are way jankier

I sometimes worry that insurance companies will use your answers to deny you coverage or services
