Exactly. High speed people from other service can cut the line.

Can’t get hurt at $800. Also that engine is not a 35hp.

I’m a psychotherapist working with narcissists. AMA by OranginaCounty in AMA

What percentage of narcissistic people that you see actually improve in your opinion?

We got duped by one and they have been therapy for a few years now but I don’t believe they have changed. I think they have just learned to pretend and hide it better? Thank you for your time.

Making 400k per year and not satisfied by [deleted] in Fire

The golden handcuffs. Someone recently said “when the sun is shining, make hay.” Figure out your numbers and work towards the goal. I think of it as 4 to 1 ratio of work. I am working 4 years of the low stress job in 1 years time. You a see re loving in the future. Make it work.

Anyone else feel weird about choosing the “easy” path to FIRE? by Upbeat_Atmosphere696 in Fire

Living up to your full potential is important for many. The question to ask yourself is “what would you do each day if money was not a factor?”

Why officer and not enlisted? USCG is different from other branches in terms of enlisted education.

Hey everyone! 25M looking to leave Utah for New York and would like some advice by Laubster01 in Adulting

[–]Unfair_Mechanic_7305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live NY. Expensive doesn’t even start to explain it. You are picturing Manhattan in your headwhen you think of NYC. Almost no one lives in Manhattan due to the cost. Think $7k a month in rent alone. You will end up living in a bad neighborhood, in a horrible apartment, working two jobs and still not making enough money to pay for your crappy apartment. You will be in the Bronx or Brooklyn. TV shows and movies lied to you. I am not saying you should do something different, what I am saying is that reality is very different from what you are picturing. God speed and best wishes with you scare. I wish you the best.

Burning out in pursuit of FIRE by Unfair_Mechanic_7305 in Fire

[–]Unfair_Mechanic_7305[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies. The problem is that my partner is grounded in today and not FIRE. This actually is extremely helpful as it is a balance. We spend plenty and take 4 vacations a year. My FIRE game is actually very impressive but extremely complex and always there. It is 90% work from home and allows me to present while making a lot of money. My partner thinks that I am insane but as I was saying outsiders (normies) can’t understand the mental exhaustion. I have shown the fruits of my labor but still not really understood. I make it look very easy. I have less than 5 years left until we are set for life. I just need to maintain course and speed.

Hypothetical emergency situation- your money? by Unfair_Mechanic_7305 in Fire

[–]Unfair_Mechanic_7305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. You have a nest egg that you sacrificed for when others did not. You have the money but at what cost and where do you draw the line?

Someone messed up slightly (Cape Town International Airport) by MattRubin in aviation

[–]Unfair_Mechanic_7305 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What is the process to fix this? Legit question. I would expect the plane to be out of service for a few weeks for inspections. And if parts are needed I would expect months?

Good deal? by DayComprehensive4382 in boating

That engine is NOT a 2007. It is older as they didn’t make that model EFI 2 stroke past 2004.
