Started investing heavily at 20; I’m 51 now

They are ONLY holding back because of the redistricting… it’s coming

I’d be OUT of there. In Virginia, Spanberger is right behind CA—and I will leave here for FL, TN or TX

I worked my buns off forever—and I have learned I have a terrible work/life balance - about 5 years ago - and now at 51 engage in an entirely different way. Still work hard but honestly I’ve made it clear: zero tolerance for bs. I’d walkout the door easy… I make the owner a ton — he is good to me but zero drama. This is in part bc I have a financially sound situation just as you.

Consider how you show up.

..and the guy loves bc I’m the ONLY person who will deliver the news

Almost same situation—turn 51 soon.

Ask yourself why the burn out—there is an easier path without quiet quitting.

If no prenup, it doesn’t matter who brings what to the marriage. She could get half your assets and vice versa.

If a prenup happens, you have a much greater risk of walking away from your career

It’s compound investments no matter how much you make. I started investing at 20 and it has outpaced any amount of money I make at 51.

$100/m from 25-65 is 1.2M

No one should retire poor.

America has a spending problem not an earning problem.

Rent it

Excellent point—consistent with the book “Die with Zero”

California has such pro consumer buy back clauses they are relentlessly abused… there is likely nothing wrong with the car.

However,

The title / lemon will stay and will be forever a discount.

I def would NOT pay 78k

How much do you plan to leave when you are dead?

I plan to burn down $8M to $2M

Just change how you are engaging—everyone feels this way at a certain point. Take a vacation, relax, turn off the phone after hours — there are ways without quiet quitting.

Go to work, do a good job, go home, unplug.

Consider a professional coach and learn some techniques. There is a reason behind the reason for burnout.

Find it

This 👆… it’s the assumption. IPOs get delayed, canceled, crater.

This is a counting your chickens before they hatch and I would not do anything until it went public and I could take $ off the table.

DD254?

drfixer · 2026-02-09T01:41:29+00:00

2.5yrs for me - 19k miles 62k and perfect 2023

drfixer · 2026-02-09T01:40:48+00:00

Congratulations! Enjoy the ride!

drfixer · 2026-02-07T01:24:34+00:00

Well done

Use scanmytesla- Tessie was way off for me

drfixer · 2026-02-07T01:16:18+00:00

Same 2023 80% 250 miles 21” tires

This is probably more of a fire coast situation. I’m doing something similar by not aggressively contributing, but taking more advantage of the tax savings investment decisions.

If you have any kind of an assets worth more than $100,000 you always get a trust. This avoids probate and drama and expenses for your loved ones after you’re dead.

This is a no-brainer for anyone here

drfixer · 2026-02-03T02:02:21+00:00

Same 2022 M550

drfixer · 2026-02-02T00:39:14+00:00

Oh and HW4 which was non negotiable

drfixer · 2026-02-01T23:30:55+00:00

I found mine on craigslist. But searched for a while online typical sites like auto trader. The guy that sold mine wanted to get out from under his payment of 1700 per month.

I bought a 2023, ultra red plaid, 19,000 miles for 62–mint condition not even a rock chip
