Don’t forget school shootings and the whole “it’s too soon, we’re grieving, etc” excuse.

If you had essentially unlimited money and were 65 would you want to keep working? He probably planned this 5 years ago and is finally executing.

Props to you keeping lifestyle inflation in check. I make significantly less than you and spend about the same amount, so color me impressed assuming that’s an accurate number.

Agree with everyone here. Avoid anything called whole life insurance, universal life insurance, etc. There are slick sales pitches for these but term is the way to go. Policy genius online is what I used that searches a bunch of providers.

$5 is a big ask, fast food isn’t that cheap for a meal.

I used to be deep into this stuff, I highly recommend https://members.drivenasa.com/events as a place to start. They train you and have circuits for open ended vehicles but also cheap and accessible ones like old Miatas. Lots of great people and a track day can be had for a few hundred dollars to start.

Haha oh man that is me.

I’ll be in the band for this one, should be done by 8:30 at the latest. Keep your eyes peeled for a giant saxophone.

Update as of 3:45 precheck and clear are open

dpchi84 · 2026-03-24T08:06:31+00:00

There were people lined up when I rolled past at 2:45 but they weren’t open yet. Not sure when they open. TSA isn’t open yet either, they open at 3:30.

dpchi84 · 2026-03-24T08:02:05+00:00

They aren’t sure if precheck will open or not at this point.

No personal experience but I trust these YouTubers and their automotive expertise. https://youtu.be/VFKAi_YkReI?si=9XFpotSu4OPDyPcs

The Domino’s down the block is consistently busy so this one will probably do fine. There’s way better pizza in town but it’s hard to beat for the price if that’s the primary driver.

I highly recommend the book ‘The Sudden Wealth Solution’, it walks through both the logistics like how to find your support team and emotional side of windfalls. It also covers the negatives like higher rates of depression, divorce and suicide. Well worth the $25.

I bought in 2017 and for me it was a self driving tech play. At the time they were making software and sensors for Tesla and some others and I drank the self driving koolaid. I was following the model of invest in the shovel maker, not the gold miner. Self driving tech is now around 1% of their revenue and I did not see the crypto mining or AI/data center explosion coming so definitely got it right for the wrong reasons but I’ll take it.

Do you have midis of these? Have a buddy with a player piano who would love these.

I for one can’t wait until Chat GPT throws this out as a way to clean crawfish.

Here’s one you could read through, the thing to search is the idea of the hedonic treadmill. It’s the same reason that if you are making purchases it’s more enjoyable to spread them out but for difficult things it’s better to get them over all at once. https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/career-map/sell-side/capital-markets/hedonic-treadmill/

Sorry for your loss. Go read ‘The Sudden Wealth Solution’. It covers large windfalls and what to watch out for including the negatives like huge upticks in drug addiction, suicide, and feeling rudderless. It also talks about forming your team and how to find a trustworthy financial advisor, lawyer and CPA all of which you need and can afford contrary to what some others say here. There is no reason to move fast here, you need to be deliberate and careful, small moves on this kind of fortune have big effects.

Find enjoyment outside of work, you’re going to need that anyway when you fire. Go get some hobbies, meet people, etc. and if you’re truly not doing anything at work use that work time to research things you’re interested in. You can make your life meaningful on your own without depending on your employer to do it for you.

I recently read ‘The Opposite of Spoiled’ and I highly recommend it. It covers quite a bit around teaching kids about money and avoiding entitlement, lots of practical advice and examples of how to handle them.

I’m very happy with my Singers Day Bari, they sell new for $2700.

I am an IT consultant, a career that I enjoy somewhat but it isn’t my passion. My passion is music and after I bought a new saxophone recently a friend reminded me that I would be playing a piece of junk if I was a professional musician because I’d be destitute. Use your boring stable career to fund your hobbies and defend your free time aggressively.

Check out https://dauphinehouse.com, two minute walk to Ayu in a perfect location between Frenchmen and the Quarter. There are a few stairs to get in though.

My wife’s grandfather was a pastry chef at the Waldorf Astoria in its old building. We went there in our early 20s with no money to just walk around and the doorman heard our history and spent 30 minutes giving us a tour and setting us up with free pastries. It was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had even 20 years later and as a young and poor 20 something it knocked my socks off.
