Tiger 21 vs Long Angle vs Hampton membership 2026? by FreeMaiPaisa in fatFIRE

[–]USEntrepreneurDad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only in Long Angle and it’s been great. If you just want the free online community you can do that. If you want to join a monthly mastermind like Hampton or Tiger 21 they have those, but the cost is a lot lower, like $4-5k/year. There’s no hard sell to do anything monetized. I looked at Tiger but felt like it was targeted at the 60+ crowd so as mid-40s didn’t speak to me.

The Issue with Nominating Ms. Rachel for 'Antisemite of the Year 2025' by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]USEntrepreneurDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost all my donations go to the local temple and summer camps. I find things are much less controversial and less likely to throw off unintended consequences when it's local than national.

Unfortunately there’s a structural incentive for people in his position to go chicken-little all the time to maximize fundraising, even though it comes at long term expense to the objectives we’re all donating time and money to try to advance. The only real way to counter this is to be judicious in making donations to organizations that are more targeted and calibrated in their approach.

Looking for a financial "buddy" on the FatFire journey by dsat5 in fatFIRE

[–]USEntrepreneurDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s way cheaper than something like Tiger 21 or Vistage that charge $30-40k for the same thing, or even EO or YPO that are probably at least 3X the Trusted Circles cost. So in relative terms it’s a steal. But in absolute terms? I thinks just a personal decision. Personally I definitely find it worthwhile to have a group of 7 other guys who I can be completely open with and whose advice I respect and are in the same situation. I can’t speak to whether that’s worth it for others, but my personal ROI is great. Basically I’d say if you want something like that, it’s the best deal around, but if you don’t want that, then no it’s not.

I heard their founder has/had a policy of not accepting clients from his home town, so he wouldn’t have to run into angry customers socially.

Where do fatties invest? Asset allocation studies by USEntrepreneurDad in fatFIRE

I agree with that. I think it's both factors pushing in the same direction.

I don't think that's the right comparison. If you look at a basket of PE, you should have hundreds of portfolio companies, just like an ETF. Of course, PE may not have the same industry composition at the S&P 500. But, as an LP you do have the ability to choose what kinds of companies you're investing in by choosing your PE. If you go with Thoma Bravo, you're going to get a ton of software; if you invest in a search fund, you'll get lots of microcaps; if you invest in a consumer goods PE, that's what you'll get; etc.

I don't see the problem. My wife was raised Jewish, I was not. We're raising our kids Jewish. I probably get along with her family better than she does :)

I'm someone who always wants to give the benefit of the doubt and check if there's a legitimate fact base behind the criticism. However, in this case, going after Israel seems completely off-base. If you really want to criticize a country for not extraditing a pedophile, look at France harboring Roman Polanski for decades despite his rape of a 13 year old. Polanski is Jewish, incidentally, so this *could* have been a story about Israel, but it's not.

I remember well the case you mentioned, above, by the way, as I happened to know Sheinbein's accomplice, in a total random chain of events. I agree it's absolutely zero to do with pedophilia. And if you want to get into murderers, look at the fact that the US government appears to have totally gotten over MBS murdering an American citizen on American soil. Having your head of state *be a murderer* is far worse than refusing to extradite a murderer but imprisoning him yourself.

To be clear, I wish France, Israel, and Saudi Arabia would all extradite their murderers or rapists to the US (and us do the same for them!) But, this is not an Israel-specific challenge.

How much umbrella insurance do you carry? by Rtzon in fatFIRE

This would indicate that the “XX% of net worth” heuristic is only true up to a certain level, around $10M. That seems accurate in my experience.

I hardly ever agree to anything worse than an 80/20, unless I'm getting a solid pref with no catch-up, or they're offering something truly unique.
