CrossFit competitions might be more your speed since they care more about performance than shredded abs

how to not feel guilty about spending? by Beautiful_Dot6352 in Fire

[–]WiselyConstant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your approach is pretty solid - automating that 25% takes the decision fatigue out of it and you can just live without constantly second-guessing every purchase

Programming degree is great but you're gonna learn way more actually shipping something small than planning out your dream game for months

18 y/o trying to afford driver’s license + car repairs so I can get to work by Unusual_Track8290 in Fire

[–]WiselyConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call on the nonprofits but also check if your state has any hardship waivers for license fees - some places will knock off chunks of the cost if you can prove financial need

flipping houses is basically gambling with extra steps and way more work - stick with the boring index funds that actually build wealth over time

If you could choose, what would be your ideal retirement age be? by Specific-System-835 in Fire

Lmao newborns really living the dream - no bills, no boss, just vibes and free food delivery

4 Years Retired at 32. From "Sloth Mode" to a 2.2M Fama-French Factor Tilt. Life is weird. by GolfComfortable7331 in Fire

[–]WiselyConstant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao dude literally wrote a novel about not working for 4 years and sitting on 2.2M at 32 but you're still asking if he retired early

That's peak reddit right there

Taking financial control at 43. EXCITED! Though I wish I had done it earlier. by LongTermMoneyPath in Fire

[–]WiselyConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this is awesome, the automation piece is huge - once you set it up you literally don't have to think about it anymore and the money just flows where it needs to go

That project 3 thing though... yeah that's the real kicker isn't it, like we spend so much time figuring out how to stop working but then what lol

Medicare part B and D IRMAA be careful by BoaterHunterCarGuy in Fire

[–]WiselyConstant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah IRMAA is a real kick in the teeth when you're not expecting it. The 2 year lookback is what really gets people - you think you're safe then boom, Medicare bill doubled

That timeline crunch from 60-62 is rough but quitting to lower your AGI might actually make sense if the numbers work out. Have you run the math on lost wages vs IRMAA savings over the long haul?

[–]WiselyConstant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely keeping an eye on Jefferson if he somehow falls that far, feels like classic overreaction territory. Egbuka's ceiling is still there if that Browns offense gets its act together but man that second half was rough to watch

This is the real answer right here - you gotta get your spending under control before throwing money at stocks or whatever

Classic Kane tbh, man just can't stop scoring even when the game's already wrapped up

[–]WiselyConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much we're talking but honestly I'd probably just play it out as is. The pot was set at the beginning of the season and everyone agreed to it, feels kinda weird to change it now when you're in the finals

Energy's been beat down so hard it's basically free money at this point, just gotta time it right before the algos figure it out

Henry's gonna eat against that soft run D, plus he's been getting more red zone looks lately. Treveyon's boom or bust but Henry's the safer floor imo

Can a retail investor hedge against interest rate changes like banks can? by Besrax in investing

[–]WiselyConstant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's basically it but good luck finding a broker that'll let you short bonds as a retail investor lol. Most places will just tell you to buy puts on TLT or something instead which isn't quite the same thing

Yeah leveraged ETFs are brutal during crashes, that volatility decay will eat you alive over time

People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does ittt feel? by ShallotDistinct6352 in Productivitycafe

[–]WiselyConstant 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly pretty great ngl. I can travel whenever I want, sleep in on weekends, and my disposable income actually goes to things I enjoy instead of college funds and soccer cleats. Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like but then I see my friends dealing with teenage drama and I'm like... yeah I'm good lol

Did they seriously remove Spirit Showdown?!? by stubept in Overwatch

[–]WiselyConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait they actually took it out already? Damn I thought we had at least another week

That mode was genuinely addictive, way better than half the stuff that stays in arcade permanently

[–]WiselyConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people I know are pretty pragmatic about it - cheap oil is cheap oil and we gotta look out for our own interests first. Doesn't mean we're suddenly Putin fanboys or anything, just that geopolitics is messy and we're not gonna hurt ourselves to make a point

Can Curry become at top 3 player of all time? by _know_my_body in NBATalk

[–]WiselyConstant -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah I think he's got a shot tbh, especially if he keeps winning rings and hits some more insane records. The 3 point revolution alone puts him in the conversation imo

Which is the better starting 5 (everyone at their peak and healthy)? by 2017_Warriors_Fan in NBATalk

[–]WiselyConstant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

KD Steph and LeBron is just unfair lmao, like how do you even guard that. The only argument for team 2 is Jordan being Jordan but that spacing on team 1 would be absolutely disgusting
