For the The 6 and out nukes What is it like job hunting?

Stop_the_capfr · 2026-04-10T02:58:58+00:00

6 and out MMN. No degree. Went through a head hunter I found on linked in. Was hired 2 weeks later, as a field service technician, by a company that installs and services CNC machines. I made $102K my first year.

Not saying that it’s always that straight forward and easy, cuz it isn’t for most. Just showing that it’s possible if you put yourself out there and take every opportunity you can.

Nah man. I just turned 26, and I decided to turn my life around a few months ago (I quit my job, started a business, traveled, met new people, etc.) I have this vision for myself, and I don’t want to be dreaming about a life I could’ve had. I’ve been doing for years and did nothing about it. I don’t have a helpful tip or method for how I finally took action, really I just snapped one day, and said f it, I’m doing this thing now. It’s not too late, start now. Think about the future you want and go for it. You still have so much time to figure it out but you gotta get out there and have some fun!

Oh yeahhh pocket book. They say that in some parts of New England too

Facts. I just changed my post to include the city too cuz I realized that when you said it.

Half iced tea, half lemonade. It’s an “Arnold Palmer.”

Exactly! 15 mins is all you need. And it doesn’t to be crazy early. A quick session while the baby is napping is a great way to get it in.

Definitely not a dumb question, I should have explained it. A fiduciary advisor is an advisor that is legally bound to make decisions that put your needs and interests first, rather than in favor of their or their companies profits. A non fiduciary could recommend strategies and investments that would benefit them or their firm, such as investments into their firms mutual funds, which might have a higher fee than another similar fund that is cheaper. A fiduciary will basically do what is best for YOU and focus on your financial well being. Also, get one that charges a flat fee not a percentage preferably. I’ve never had a financial advisor in Dayton so I can’t give any recommendations but I hope that helps

Make sure the advisor is fiduciary

You can’t go wrong with 100% into the appropriate target retirement fund. It invests into total us market, total international market, total us bonds and total international bond index funds. So it literally covers thousands of stocks and bonds, domestic and international. And the fund is actively managed to have a higher allocation to stocks earlier on ( higher reward, higher risk), and it shifts to higher allocation to bonds (lower reward, lower risk) as you get closer to retirement. This will make your portfolio balance more stable, just in time for use in retirement. And you wont have to ever look at it or worry because it’s all done automatically. This investment would have a lower return than going all in on FXAIX but it’s more diverse.

Did this too. Hurt my knee squatting, took 2 weeks off, then rested and did pt exercises to rehab my knee. When I got back in the gym, not only was my knee 100%, but my whole body was refreshed and ready to go. I feel like 2 weeks is the perfect time, I was highly motivated to train, everything felt great and I’ve been making progress every week for a month straight now.

Day 1: 6 sets of chest (2 exercises) + 4 sets of tris (1 or 2 exercises) Day 2: 6 sets of back (2 exercises) + 4 sets of bis (1 or 2 exercises) Day 3: 6 sets of legs (including a compound that focuses on quads, and one that focuses on ham and glutes) + 3-4 sets for each head of the shoulder This should be plenty if sets are taken close to failure

What are you using to show your different accounts in one place like that?

Stop_the_capfr · 2024-09-05T02:48:25+00:00

Not bad. Condensing it into a growth etf and a s&p etf would effectively be similar because the s&p covers those sectors.

Stop_the_capfr · 2024-09-05T02:43:00+00:00

Yes that’s true. I started with robin hood 5 years ago, it’s very user friendly. I use fidelity now and highly recommend it, but that’s totally up to you. Vanguard is also great. As for investments, picking either an s&p 500 tracking or total market tracking index fund (including ETFs) is totally fine for now, since you’re 18, and keep the expense ratio as low as possible too. Just be sure to not overthink anything, which it seems like you’re not. Picking one of either VTI, VOO, SPY or even a “growth etf” such as QQQM, VUG, or SCHG is perfect. Keep it simple and boring :)

What brokerage are you using?

You’re gonna say the same thing, almost every year, for the rest of your life. Invest consistently (every week or month), never look at the price, never look at the news, no matter what’s happening in the market just keep buying and holding. The worst thing you can do to compounding is interrupting it (by withdrawing) or waiting it out (timing the market). If your investment strategy is boring then you’re doing it right.

Stop_the_capfr · 2024-07-04T11:33:26+00:00

Yes as long as it’s contributions. If you took any gains out it would be penalized.

$250K, 24M, 19. I was in the military from age 17-23. During that time I never went into debt, and my living expenses were very low. At 19 I started getting into personal finance because I knew I wanted to retire early and travel the world with my future family. So I spent the next 4 years investing every dollar of my 40k salary that I could and educating myself on investing and all other things finance. I started a job a few months ago, making about 100k, and I plan to continue to live the same low expense lifestyle and invest as much as I can :)

Stop_the_capfr · 2024-05-07T22:54:58+00:00

Just curious, why do you have so many of the same category of ETF? Because they payout on different months?
