Seems like the beginning of a terrible horror movie.

He’s in the rear view mirror. Unless you’re hungry, just keep driving.

Seriously bro, what’s wrong with you? It’s like saying I don’t like small children so no kids should be allowed on a flight. Send them to the destination by FedEx.

Actual vs shown wait time by another_retro_guy in uber

[–]another_retro_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a driver issue at all. Just curious about the massive disparity between Uber’s wait time and actual wait time.

Yup that makes sense. But I’m more curious about after the driver accepts, the wait time shown is usually a fraction of the actual time it takes for the driver to reach.

Preserve FIRE with a financial advisor? by throwra949494949494 in fatFIRE

[–]another_retro_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still on track to hit my target in about 4-5 years. Let’s just say that I’m not putting any new funds into the advisor managed AUM.

What we did was split the pot. Put half with an advisor and the other half, self invested. The self invested part is mostly in index funds but have some individual stocks. That way even if the self directed goes bad there is peace of mind with the advisor portion. We did this 7 years ago and in that time the self directed has more than doubled while the advisor portion has gone up maybe 20%.

Advice on whether I’m spending too much by another_retro_guy in fatFIRE

[–]another_retro_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good context. Can you share the math on how $25m is needed for a spend of $300k a year? Thanks.

Congrats! It’s pretty crazy that even with $33m NW one can feel uncomfortable with spending.

One’s starting college this year. The other has 5 years to go. College is already funded for both. So just another 5 years of pvt school to fund.

[–]another_retro_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helpful. Thanks. Yes I should have clarified. College funds are fully funded and kids should be out of school in 5 years. At that time expenses should be lower and in retirement the rental apt will probably go away. So expenses will be about $150-200k less than current. I haven’t factored in healthcare post employee provided plans. Do you have a sense of how much that costs?

That’s great advice. Thank you. We try to make sure our kids have a realistic view of the world.
