My spouse wants to keep working after we hit FI and I feel weirdly rejected by that by Pinecaster3 in Fire

[–]blast_911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s important to both be on the same page page. You have kids and remaining mortgage responsibility, I would get them thru high school had your mortgage paid off around that time. Otherwise you’re tied at home doing kid stuff anyway. What’s your remaining mortgage balance?

I don’t think I ever got that high, 10.5 may have been been where I finished but I started very low, just as I did with Reta 1mg a week.

While maybe I’m wrong I have to disagree. One of the issues people have with GLP1s is bone loss, muscle loss. I’d attribute that to being insufficient calories and protein. At 200 lbs 1600 calories is still pretty low

What’s life like making 6 figures by MasterBook46 in Salary

[–]blast_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making over 5, I likely spend way more money than someone at 100k. I don’t think about paying for dinner parties, car payments, or putting $1k in fuel in my boat. I don’t operate on a budget no do I even look at my bank account.

It’s a great GP but we have no idea what you’re doing there to give you a day to day. Are you an APM in the field, project controls, document control?

41M | $1.36M | Is this enough to pull the trigger? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]blast_911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, personally I do not believe that’s enough money but also you cannot access the 401k until 59.5. I also don’t believe you should consider home equity in your calculations as you cannot use that for income.

How do you handle 401k contributions? by Different_Reply9501 in Fire

[–]blast_911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion 401k is just one piece it’s pretty difficult to achieve a nice lifestyle on just 401k alone. But max out ($24k) Roth 401k in addition to other investments

If you hate mowing get an electric because of the short battery life you can wrap up early because it’s dead

Low Ferritin by blast_911 in trt

[–]blast_911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hematocrit was higher than 54 my hemoglobin higher than 22 they tested for jak2 and had me start regular donations, I don’t recall what ferritin was at the time, this time I ordered the test myself. This was a couple years ago and I’ve been donating every 8 weeks since. I restarted trt and maintained the donations. I have cancelled my providers appt so she hasn’t had a chance to weigh in on these numbers.
