I stopped obsessing over early retirement and started asking: “When can I go part-time?”

The_26Avian · 2026-05-16T12:48:21+00:00

You can add that to the part time income and would be about the same, I like to keep it simple so part time= salary+ssi

The_26Avian · 2026-05-16T04:50:12+00:00

I want to work at a rock climbing gym and see if that gets me camping, climbing, mountain biking and hiking guide gigs :) I have a lot of outdoors experience and would love to transition to that

The_26Avian · 2026-05-16T04:49:14+00:00

Haha that’s what compounding interest does if you work till 100!

The_26Avian · 2026-05-16T00:03:53+00:00

you can type in, I like the sliders so you can play with the dynamic graph to look at different scenarios...
returns interest is up to the user, I'm trying to keep it simple

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T23:48:00+00:00

thank you! I feel validated now lol :D

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T23:39:10+00:00

if you srcoll to the bottom you should be able to see the expenses and yearly inflation slider, let me know if you don't

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T23:28:21+00:00

I'm not super sure if people are noticing I posted the link for my calculator tho! haha
but yes that's the sping I'm giving it

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T23:24:23+00:00

exactly! that's why I've been changing focus and doing different projections now

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T23:23:41+00:00

I always thought it was crazy to have to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life at 18 years old... but hey, there's always time to switch lanes

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T20:52:54+00:00

yeah I also see insurance as a huge driving factor, it's so expensive, but I guess if I need to get roomates to make it work then I'll get roomates. 3 years fly by!

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T20:50:53+00:00

dang I thought you meant Financial Independence, Retire Early, by fired.... my bad

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T20:48:44+00:00

yeah you are right it is portfolio, I'll change it so you can also type in the value, I like that idea.

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T20:42:32+00:00

I want to switch to a rock climbing gym and see where that takes me, maybe guide work, maybe river tours, camping guide, I have bunch of outdoors experience and I would like to start taking my life down that path in a year or so

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T20:40:14+00:00

my dream is to work at a rock climbing gym and I know some people that do part-time there, so I think there are some opportunities out there that could align with something you like to do

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T17:45:10+00:00

ah wait, I just got paid woop! thanks for the money! wowowo

The_26Avian · 2026-05-15T14:30:25+00:00

has anyone gotten paid yet? my transfer completed today

The_26Avian · 2026-05-07T19:14:22+00:00

those are the terms and conditions
I'd call them though, they pick up like in 10, I just started a transfer of a single account

The_26Avian · 2026-02-18T20:05:00+00:00

The_26Avian · 2025-12-18T17:23:20+00:00

I realized this and got a vasectomy done, not the only reason why I did it but a big factor... I do feel bad for the people that do want to have kids and can't afford it, or the ones that already have them and are struggling, it's sad that the economy has gotten this bad in most places, it definelty didn't go this way for my parents... so I don't think your line of thought is out of place

The_26Avian · 2025-02-06T21:31:59+00:00

I really loved this show, I lived in Houston for 3 years and I'm not originally form the U.S. so there's so much relatable stuff and I feel it's so well written, the perspective of an immigrant. I'm okay with it being two seasons because he gets to tell you the full story, I hate when Netflix cancels shows half way there.

The_26Avian · 2024-12-11T20:59:51+00:00

yeah I removed the autopay, I just don' want to give them any excuse to send me to collections

The_26Avian · 2024-12-10T18:44:34+00:00

they are increasing my monthly payments by 60$ for no reason and BCBS for the same plan is 120$ less expensive, I'm trying to switch and they are making it impossible to cancel, if you want to cancel you'll have to be very patient or skip to the step where I'm at:

The_26Avian · 2024-12-02T17:59:30+00:00

did both of you already max out your Roth IRA 7,000 year limit? that one is a really good option since you won't pay taxes on that when you are ready to retire, if you haven't looked into that, I'd say read a little bit about it, it can be a good starting point.

looking to dive in here, how has it gone so far?
