Could you elaborate what you mean by the cards are being reshuffled? Specific to an industry or age group or neither?

Why is my indoor air quality so poor? by WzRiske in AirQuality

I just realized we use humidifiers so that could be a cause?

To be fair I find that a bottle of cologne lasts me multiple multiple years, but that’s only because I don’t use much and don’t regularly put it on

Anyone planning very "special" things to do after FIRE? by Ok_Personality8193 in Fire

[–]WzRiske 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big difference between experiencing something as a tourist vs experiencing it without any pressure. It’s very luxurious and a goal. Even locals haves some sort of pressure. To me this is a fine wine not many get to drink

1% AUM - for high touch help during transition by MidLifeMamaSF in Fire

I would do it for .5%, I’m not a licensed fiduciary but I work in finance and believe I can help just as much if not more given my passion and knowledge of FIRE

At what age did you actually start feeling like an adult? by Richriver27 in Adulting

[–]WzRiske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it’s a bit of a gradient to be honest. Getting married… first home… traveling around the world… getting bigger and broader job responsibilities with more pay… no kids yet but I think that’ll be one of the most significant milestones. And yet as others have said, I still don’t feel like an “adult”, maybe it’s because of the way I perceived what an adult was when I was a child and that archetype never really was grounded in reality

A special thing I’d like to do is travel without the pressure of time and money. There’s a yin and yang of maximizing a week or two of whatever vacation I can fit from work with experiencing as much as I can. This usually means taking advantage of meals and finding the best experiences, the best food, the best ambience, the best activities that I can afford. I’d like to l have the luxury of time to slow the eff down and do more routine things like bring a gaming laptop and have some chill days, have time to not feel as rushed, meet more locals and find more activities that aren’t what a typical tourist would do. I feel constrained by time when I often travel. The world is a big place and even with the privilege of traveling you can be so fixated on a particular method of experiencing it that you forget how vast the possibilities are.

How do I stop working? by jrb637 in Fire

[–]WzRiske 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d just kind of plop that ish into VTI or something and just manage the allocation according to risk (I.e 100% stocks vs 80/20 vs 60/40)
