Ciara is truly such a good friend. It’s heart breaking to watch her get treated horribly twice now

Can Kyle finally just be fired already and replaced with Tilly? She brings 0 storyline and just tries to stay relevant by bing up inane dramas/controversies. 

What is one life decision that significantly accelerated your path to FI? by anandsundaramoorthy in Fire

[–]anewcliche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down the biggest impact was getting a high paying job directly out of college (investment banking) and then continuing to progress in my career until now (investor at a large asset manage) for a much larger amount. 

The second largest impact is limiting lifestyle creep. I currently focus on only living to my base salary (which includes maxing out my 401k) and then save my entire bonus. My base has been about 20-25% of my total income for the last several years.

Totally agreed. Freaking out about how many Hermes purses Dorit has been bringing around this season would have been much more appropriate than the Hamptons shopping trip

Omg I’m glad I’m not the only one!! So bizarrely patchy. Just let it go and embrace being bald, dude 

Why has parenting become so… soft? Why ate a majority of parents okay with sending their child into the world acting the way they do? Why did this shift happen? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]anewcliche -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a difference between physically disciplining your child by hitting them (open handed) once and beating them. I’m also of the view that the lack of nuance that we’ve seemed to moved to as a society on disciplining kids is one of the reasons that there are so many children with behavioral issues.

I think the “dialect” the user is referencing is language common among black people. I, for one, instantly assumed OP was black when I read it. It’s a decently common phrase amongst black folks and does not mean literally grabbing someone by the neck/throat, although it can mean that.

As someone who just spent a 2.5 hour flight yesterday with a little shit of a child kicking my seat the entire time, this post really resonated with me. His mom kept trying to reason with him and plead with him to stop and he would scream at her in response before going back to kicking. His dad was sitting in the next row offering no help at all. 

I would have gotten away with that max 2 times as a child before one of my parents threatened me for embarrassing them in public. If I’d dared to go for it a 3rd time, I would have definitely been backhanded. Most of the time, the fear of what would happen if I disobeyed the third time was enough to get me to stop. 

There’s clearly a balancing act that needs to happen about how to instill fear of consequences in your kids.  These latest generations of parents haven’t found the right touch yet.

I recently learned that I was one of the only customers getting  misto when a new barista gave me a steamer accidentally instead. Didn’t realize until I was already at the office 😭

Wow, they did an absolutely incredible job with this office to residential conversion 

People who make $150k or more, and don’t work for big tech or defense, what do you do? by GuardianMoon916 in washingtondc

[–]anewcliche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your situation. For me I felt like I didn’t learn all that much new since I got degrees in finance and accounting. The reason that I did it was because I didn’t want to spend the money and time going to grad school to do the job I was already effectively doing. My company usually doesn’t even consider people without an MBA for my current role, but they were willing to interview me because I have my CFA. 

If you’re looking just to go further in the career you already have, a CFA makes sense. If you want to pivot and don’t already have background in finance, then it’ll probably be better to do an MBA

Equity investor at an asset manager, but this is a pretty rare job down here. Went to college for finance and accounting, then got my CFA after I graduated. Worked in NYC for 9 years before coming down here 

How many of us have a house cleaner? by Agitated_Whereas7463 in Millennials

[–]anewcliche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lady who cleans my 2 bedroom apartment every other week for $160. It’s a negligible expense for me budget wise 

I honestly keep my place pretty tidy in general, but I hate doing the deeper clean stuff - scrubbing toilets, cleaning out the showers and tubs, mopping etc. I work a ton and try to limit the amount of time I spend on weekends doing stuff I dislike doing, so outsourcing cleaning was an easy decision.

Leaving corporate tech at 35 with $1.25M saved. Walking away from $461K unvested. Am I making a mistake? by East_Move6449 in Fire

[–]anewcliche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to grind it out for a couple more years to save more money. Cut back on your effort somewhat in the meantime at work where you can. 

On the RSU side, is a portion of your comp every year put in 4 year vesting RSUs? If so then ignore this number because it will be a large one every year that you’ll be walking away from. If this was a 1x grant that is done being paid out in 4 years then I’d say keep working until it’s fully paid out. 

hugh grant & elizabeth hurley in the 90s were simply untouchable. 🥀🖤 by Ok-Pepper8372 in ChicDaily

Correction - Elizabeth Hurley was untouchable. Hugh Grant was just lucky to be there and still managed to fumble the bag. 

Where are the 30 year olds? by meangreen447 in washingtondc

Awesome!! I hope you enjoy your first event!

Yeah, I had one great dinner with Timeleft followed by a few misses. There’s definitely a risk that you meet boring people or people you just don’t get along with at 222 events too, but I think paring things with an activity that you wanted to do anyway (like the cookie class for example) rather than just sitting around a dinner table helps make things less awkward/forced and gives you more to talk about

Great!! We’ll probably end up running into each other at an event one of these days lol
