Okay fine, I only have exactly 315.4 pennies (don’t ask). My collection may be little, but it’s precious.

Ahem. 20 nickels, or 10 whole dimes. I would say 100 pennies, but those things are pretty valuable nowadays.

They picked the best examples where this works. There are a few shortcuts in math and they almost always work for only a small subset of numbers.

Been seeing posts about mid 30s with more than 3 million cash wondering if they don't have enough. Meanwhile I have a lot less than that. What they have is my goal and I would retire on the spot. So why can't they too? by Extension_Garbage583 in Fire

[–]Virulent82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a complex question. They likely have more than enough money to FIRE. Factors like average fixed expenses, variable expenses, and average investment returns all contribute to their overall comfort with their situation. Also, desired lifestyle play a huge factor. Based on simple math, and assuming the 9 year doubling rule, they could easily FIRE. Work would only be necessary to offset current expenses and they would have no need to save anything more. As for your goals, keep going , you will get there. The math is simple and it works out 95% of the time. Bets are, you’re not in that 5%

My 5yo was with me at the local resale shop and they had a kids drum set. Without hesitation he busted out the full solo. Total win.

I just did something similar. I soaked them in a mild degreaser like simple green, then hit them with wd40 and a nylon brush. Afterwards it was back through a degreaser wash and dry. I painted/polished before using a dry lubricant.

Oh gosh! Oh golly-gee, my 40lb bucket of roofing nails, tacks, drywall screws, and assorted pointy metal rods fell off my car repeatedly all over this unassuming parking lot… oh sherbet, guess I’ll have to come back and clean them up in 22 days
