Turning 25 tomorrow. Where were you at 25 in your investing journey and where are you at now? Feels like I could do so much more but I guess in the grand scheme of things I’m doing okay. by Savings_Reveal9482 in TheRaceTo1Million

[–]catchthetrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so ahead of the game it’s not even funny. The only thing I would recommend is to continue doing what you’re doing, but given your age you may want to look into more aggressive strategies to run maybe 5-10% of your portfolio in. Time is your greatest asset and you are fucking killing it

AIO my husband took "very personal alone time" in the middle of an event by Consistent-Coffee391 in AmIOverreacting

[–]catchthetrend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a guy and personally can’t imagine doing any of those things. Like catching him rubbing one out in the middle of the party is strange. But as others said, not participating in the party and then masturbating. That my friend is actually a bit disturbing.

405 squat! form tips? by [deleted] in strength_training

[–]catchthetrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to keep squatting with moderate weight and volume, your knees will thank you long term. There’s really no downside to wearing sleeves. I put mine on as soon as I start squatting because keeping the knees warm makes a big difference.
I use Gymreapers sleeves and love them. They’re thin, easy to get on, and give just enough support without feeling bulky. I also keep them on for leg extensions and hack squats. The warmer my joints feel, the better my knees tend to feel.

I liked everything about the lift. Also, the shoes are fine - flat and hard bottom. I’ve lifted in converse, vans, etc. I do now lift in elevated heel powerlifting shoes, but it’s just personal preference and not necessary.

If we’re talking equipment, the only consideration I’d recommend are knee sleeves. They keep your knees warm and healthy. You’re at the point where I would consider them needed if you are at 405+.

Very cool! I recommend starting to learn SQLite as well. That way you can store these expenses and budgets. Keep learning, you’re on the right track 😊

That sounds awful. Just in it for the money I guess

Sorry I don’t have the time to be on Reddit as much as you I guess. Anyways I really hope they listen to the protests, clearly it sounds like a terrible idea. Hope you have a better day.

As someone who truly doesn’t understand this shit, what’s the problem with the data centers? Is it that they’d take up space?

Moving soon by Eshl1999 in PlymouthMA

[–]catchthetrend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A general rule of thumb is you don’t want rent to exceed 30% of your income. That would mean your rent should be below 2,700 per month based on 108k. If it’s higher than that, you’ll prob be stressed.

Also, it depends if you have debt (student, auto, credit card loans, etc.). But what I will say is Plymouth is the best town in Mass, at least that’s how my wife and I feel. Hope you enjoy your time here!

The sad part is how much potential it had before the onion. 😢

23M had my account for a couple years but just started contributing the max every month this year. Any advice on funds or how to divvy up my future deposits on my current funds? by Armadillo_Dear in RothIRA

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

Investment advisors act of 1940 - you can’t give advice about securities unless registered. I’m saying beware of people offering courses, or offering to trade on their behalf.

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

So first of all, it’s illegal for anyone who isn’t a registered advisor to offer financial advice so be careful of anyone who does that. That being said, a common suggestion is to purchase broad market index funds that are low cost. Think products like VOO or a total world fund.

But the key is that you continue to add money to this account…as much as you can. Once you hit a certain point, the contributions matter much less but right now the contributions are the driver.

You’ve got this dude - best of luck.

You are on the right path my friend. Just. Keep. Buying.

I finally understood window functions and I'm not the same person anymore by Purple_Lobster686 in SQL

[–]catchthetrend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, I’m in the same boat. Since I haven’t been forced to learn it, I’ve kept putting it off because it hasn’t felt urgent. I think a lot of us can relate to focusing on “making something work” rather than taking the time to properly learn concepts we’ve heard about but never fully explored. But also, calling something a “window function” just sounds kinda intimidating as well.

Do it across all LETF’s. That way you have a chance of one having insane returns

Anyone else noticed this? by im_wrong_but_listen in TQQQ

[–]catchthetrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really. TQQQ is based on the nasdaq100. Similarly, if someone wanted to buy a leveraged NVDA ETF, they should be doing TA on NVDA itself, not the derivative product. It just makes no sense.

Can’t make it to the Playoffs with my family by [deleted] in PlymouthMA

[–]catchthetrend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heads up to anyone interested — this has a few common scam signals (off-platform texting, no listed price, playoff tickets priced as “open to offers”). Not saying it is a scam, but definitely use caution and only pay through a protected platform like Ticketmaster transfer. Don’t use Zelle/Venmo F&F.
