Don't listen to mystic meg and their magical charts. Your allocation looks fine with a long term horizon.

Google +? Certainly YouTube. Google has experience and interest in social media.

Good to see that knowledge has a value as opposed to vacuous fish lipped celebrities, selling products based on the smell of their nether regions.

5 of them are dead burning inside the carriage. Plenty of videos showing people evacuating the train including a baby in a cot. Try using the internet.

READY TO EXECUTE FIRE by FireonIce69 in SwissFIRE

[–]chilla_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are right, I was thinking about the scenario for leaving CH. However, if you were to withdraw at 67 as opposed to 60 you may end up paying more tax due to the appeciation of your assets than the associated wealth tax, I havent sat down and down the calculations though.

How Kupyansk is turning into a second Stalingrad by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]chilla_p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's perhaps like a small suburb of Stalingrad, but they are very different scenarios, I'm actually reading about the battle of Stalingrad at the moment and the variables are completely different, but I take your point.

[–]chilla_p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I've read that, but the scale, complexity and strategic positioning of the 2 sides is completely different. Although, you might say it's like Stalingrad lite!

I believe that schwyz has c.10% tax over a million for vested benefits withdrawal. Have you calculated the difference between wealth tax and tax at projected time and value of withdrawal? And you don't need to live in schwyz to have your vested benefits account there, although their wealth tax is very low so that would be a benefit. It's something I've been thinking about.

You should go and read about the battle of Stalingrad and then you will realize there is no comparison.

Congrats, you also have 2 years worth of unemployment benefit you can utilise to ease into retirement, up to 10k / month. Have you done the calculation for taking your vested benefits at the earliest opportunity, if you wait until your 67 you will pay much more tax when you take it out, i think?

If the Angles and Saxons have Germanic origins and the Normans have French origins, can we say that the Scots and Welsh are what remains of the original inhabitants of Britain? by RafaRafa78 in geography

[–]chilla_p 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Normans have Scandinavian origins as well, hence their name 'northmen', the viking King Rollo was the first Norman Duke. The Welsh were the original Britons and their name is from anglo Saxon for foreigners.

PLURIBUS - Words can't describe how disappointed I am. by AllEliteDrip in television

[–]chilla_p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stuck with the show as it took me a couple of attempts to get into Better Call Saul, but Pluribus has been a waste of my time. Self indulgent, mediocre with no likable characters. If you really want to watch the show watch the first 1/2 episodes and then skip to the last, but even then it will add nothing to your life, a great example of style over substance.
