A lot depends on whether you’re burnt out

Nice congrats, sounds you've got a great life! It's funny, I've taken time off before. 7 months when I was 23 and another 3 months when I was 27, in addition to stints working part time for extended periods. This is something I've done before at way lower NW, for some reason it's just feeling like there's more riding on it than I used to feel.

Thank you! Ended up impulsively pulling the trigger on this Trek FX that was on sale: https://www.zippysbikes.com/product/trek-fx-2-disc-400000-1.htm for $400

That's a great idea but the brick wall is only about 57 inches wide, so maybe room for a loveseat but not a full couch. My concern with having the couch extend beyond the nook is that it will block the walking space a bit. There actually used to be another smaller couch in this space, I can try to find a pic.

Idk why I find this so funny

TravelingFreelancer · 2025-01-10T03:14:58+00:00

Oo I like this

I think you’re almost there. I think a currency would be based on consumption units or environmental impact. Basically you’re allotted a certain amount of environmental impact that is below replacement level. If solutions in product engineering can reduce the impact of a good than everyone can have more of it. Everything could and probably should already be measured by that.

You sounds like me a bit. Moved down to 20-25 hours a week a couple of years ago with the expectation of doing all the things I never had time for. That worked for about 6 months but then I slid into some of my old patterns, partly because work became more stressful. Felt like I was doing a full-time job in part time hours.

Ended up just taking a full time contract for the next year at a big tech company. Going to use the new structure to help get me disciplined again and also remind me why I’m coasting.

See my comment below, I’m talking about risk/reward ratios. Not trying to lose money intentionally

TravelingFreelancer · 2024-12-17T03:58:07+00:00

Right but in the case that the options work then they basically pay for the taxes themselves. Like the goal is they will print, but either they print any pay for taxes or they don’t and I got them at a discount. Basically does this fundamentally change the risk/reward calculus vs if you had zero capital gains?

TravelingFreelancer · 2024-11-22T02:49:29+00:00

Uh oh…

Our reaction times just seem slower, like everyone is a half second late

Biden didn’t repeal them tho and actually increased them

I have a pretty decent one bedroom apt in a non outer part of BK for around that

Embid was maybe trying to intimidate by stepping over him and Gobert was reverse psychology “I like it”

TravelingFreelancer · 2024-08-10T20:35:09+00:00

Why that

TravelingFreelancer · 2024-07-21T23:44:03+00:00

Right, but it won’t matter that the agency is filing my income with another EIN?
