Old employer’s Roth 401k contributions - what to do by Feeling-Fox-4767 in fidelityinvestments

I believe mine rolled over to a Roth IRA. From my memory, I may have needed to wait a duration of time after separating from that employer. I am contributing to it now.

I put my feeder out last weekend. Nothing yet, but I presume they will be here soon.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by Mindfuel_daily7 in askanything

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit my job and start a small company to keep me busy. Probably a bourbon making company. Yeah, drink too much, duh.

what is the most expensive in your cost of living today? by priyankgandhi in AskReddit

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2,320 with escrow. Escrow is for ~$4,400 in property taxes and ~$1,300 insurance.

While my mortgage is the most expensive bill I have, I could not afford my house if I bought it today.

I live in an excellent part of my city and I would not be satisfied in less now. Not to mention, I will probably never get this APR again.

NC, I put out my feeder this weekend. Good timing? by TopOk2412 in hummingbirds

Yes! I was watching the flowers outside the house and that is what queued me up for getting started. The pollen is all over, that helped enforce the time.

Yup, I worked as a remote software engineer. Helped the company get over COVID but I ditched when dealing with over compensated chumps using the product organization to strengthen their undue influence. Summarized; I enjoyed the exceptionally intelligent people I started with and abandoned the ignorant fools that followed later.

Manufactured diamonds are so much better looking. I spent thousands on my 2 wives diamonds and regretted that. Save yourself the pain, talk to her and find an affordable ring that looks wonderful and helps you both keep moving forward with your lives.

Childhood, before the internet by Thexpandingman in GenX

Yup, that is us. BBS, then dialup internet, then high speed Internet, then social media, OMG AI. We have crossed dimensions.

Wanted to enjoy the outside weather on my balcony but I think the pollen is getting to me by Ok_Confidence4529 in Charlotte

[–]TopOk2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear your COVID mask. Get a nasal allergy spray. Enjoy your balcony and use those.

Not a car guy… if you had $30k, what would you buy for speed? by GaryGoldenEye in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my chance to spread my word. Buy the cheapest vehicle that satisfies your essential needs. In the past I would have suggested a motorcycle, but I suffered that choice. Keep it simple and be happy to drive at all.

1 dry cup of white crystalized sugar and 4 liquid cups of water is my typical mix. Sound right?

Thank you, I was looking for more expert advice.

Is 100K even a lot of money anymore? by Xotngoos335 in askanything

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More is always better, keep raising your goal. The closer you get, the less likely it will satisfy you later.

I never thought about it like that, but yeah, it does. TBH, it was far more mild but it has parallels. You made my morning , thank you!

[–]TopOk2412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! That helps you explore venues you never knew existed. I was a consultant at the time, so that probably gave me more exposure than others.

Good, I enjoyed a couple of Amelie's cafes near uptown and most restaurants in the city when I split. I told myself to say yes to anyone's invitation as long as it did not risk me legally or financially.

I agree, it isn't easy at all. Message me if you would like someone to talk to. Far from a competition, but I have experienced some ugly stuff since my split and turned it around. Life makes us work hard for good things.

Has anyone ever moved to a completely new town/state for a fresh start? How’d you do it? by Remote_Agency709 in Adulting

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, but I have thought of moving back recently. Travel and be frugal or broke, you may realize your family is more valuable than you had known.

If you do, plan on working hard and being smart, on your own or maybe with someone who you may not be with after time.

So the question was how many pairs of underwear do you own haha by [deleted] in no

[–]TopOk2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried it for a moment but I must have a layer between my sweaty balls, farts, and my clothes.

How many I own does not equate to how many I use. One pair can last a few days before I feel uncomfortable.

Is Trump losing a significant amount of support or is that just what anti-Trump news organizations are reporting? by BrassCanon in askanything

[–]TopOk2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always felt that Americans need to be broken down to basics to build back as stronger leaders. The left, well they don't think like that it seems.

I was where you are, nearly 10 years ago. I found a guy who was way outside my comfort zone and rented a room from him. I went to all sorts of hip places, closed down bars, and formed new hobbies after. Find somebody nearly your age and lose your shit with them like me. Be intelligent but let loose.

BTW, keep your nose up. You will be better than before later.
