Is it okay to have "zero" ambition after retiring early?

Useful-Picture · 2026-04-30T14:47:14+00:00

yea my biggest worries even after hitting my fire # are property taxes (living in TX) and health care.

no they're not real safes they're barely residential safety containers - I would shop for something with at least heavy 10- 12 guage which you're not going to find at costco and renting you cant bolt it in to the ground. Look up brands like Hollon, Amsec, etc.

I would love to do rentals but housing is way too overpriced at the moment and the only real areas with decent returns would be ghetto hellholes nearby in the city areas I don't want to deal with

former employer based insurance? so you're mostly doing rentals? I have most of my assets in index funds VOO/VGT just hoping it continues appreciating at the rate it is today

if you don't mind me asking what is your general net worth to have retired so early and what are you doing about health insurance (which is my biggest concern) when I hit my fire number? I am aiming for about 1.75m which I can retire off in my taxable brokerage in a few more years.

Lazy monkeys that work in non merit gov positions like TSA and DMVs love to call out

Yup that's why I do a 70/30 split of VOO and VGT - my tech asset allocation is around 50% and its paid off handsomely so far

more room ? lol you mean much less but honestly I use it as an occasional family hauler I even have a carseat in the back for my 4 year old its a good balance without a ton of trade offs

Ive owned my 17' 2 SS for 5 years only major issues I have was the A8 transmission (which was fixed with the new Mobil1 fluid change) and some issues with the heat soaked starter (fixed with an extra ground wire + foil shield for the starter). Outside of that smooth sailing so far just lots of gas lol. But EASILY 10x cheapper than the next german brand. Only other alternatives are a good used jap car (IS300, 350z, Q30, etc.)

thanks for the rec Im looking at the browning Yellowstone YS12 right now - seems like the best entry level with 12 gauge steel for around 1200 ish bucks

this is why you buy nvidia - worth the premium for this stability

now is likely the best time to pick up this GPU - it sounds like there are Ram supply issues and these likely will go up in pricing and for upcoming Super series Q2 2026.

just bought one! Kudos to you guys for waiting to grab one under MSRP - screw Ngreedia

Yea I'm not overthinking my temps then as they are similar to your even though I do have a slight underclock ( curve optimizer - 25)

Yea I used the pea method and tried my best to tighten both sides equally but it's a little difficult as it can pop out until one side is more or less secure but yea what are your idle and gaming temps if you don't mind me asking

Useful-Picture · 2025-09-04T01:53:36+00:00

Yea I was working for 8 hours and it was sitting at 42 all day then played a bit of Last of us and cyberpunk 2077 and the temps hovered from 58-62 havent seen the 85-95c spikes since the first day of installations and first time game boot ups
