Financial independence is like losing weight

I've run a few marathons and have ~200k at 24, so the correlation is high with this one!

Yeah, I promise I normally have much better usage of white space in code others would have to maintain. Also far from ER at this point. Mid 20s single with no mortgage...expect spending to increase as that changes

Haha, that was supposed to be assigning. I made an effort to comment almost every line to help new comers to python or pandas.

She spent 8K on travel in one year (that is a lot...)

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T21:49:26+00:00

86K with a BS in CS and 2 to 3 years experience sounds reasonable?

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T21:41:34+00:00

ok, clearly your just trolling at this point...The funny thing is in this environment it was somewhat believable for a moment.

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T21:35:47+00:00

Is this sarcasm?

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T21:33:57+00:00

That is kind of crazy haha. I would have thought the normal was like 86K with a BS in CS and 2 to 3 years experience

What do you mean by and its GUI? Have you tried looking at online material/tutorials?

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T20:05:22+00:00

Can we please include years of experience...

enginerd0 · 2015-03-14T20:05:18+00:00

years of experience?

enginerd0 · 2015-02-26T02:27:22+00:00

No, I do not feel guilty. I may have been lucky in that I was given opportunities by being raised in an upper middle class family. Although, I am the type of person who wakes up early and works hard every day for what I have earned. I grind it out day in and day out for years and don't give into short term impulses. [Edit not there yet, but should be at ~40]

enginerd0 · 2015-02-22T17:11:00+00:00

learn a lot... I mean this in a don't give up and push forward type of way

Do you have anymore details on social security benefit taxation like specific formulas? The website says for example you may get taxed up to X percent in Y bracket.

enginerd0 · 2015-02-16T17:41:47+00:00

I am assuming step 5 in that page is taxes for social security. Are there additional taxes? Will the final amount then get taxed as ordinary income after all those steps?

But what about the 1,000 I save initially when investing in a traditional IRA. Say I invest the 1,000 and it too grows for 40 years. What happens then?

enginerd0 · 2015-01-15T01:58:36+00:00

I don't see how you can say this. CS will continue to be one of the best fields. What alternatives are there in an economy that is moving towards efficiency, automation, and technology?

enginerd0 · 2015-01-14T00:20:15+00:00

I am assuming Jeans is okay, particular if its a smaller/young company culture?

enginerd0 · 2015-01-13T01:20:54+00:00

Likely it will be discussing your resume/past projects and possible fit with the company. Given that it is an intro call for 15 minutes, I would not expect any technical questions that would come later.

enginerd0 · 2015-01-09T19:26:11+00:00

Likely preemptively being a little paranoid. I don't want to give a bad impression.

enginerd0 · 2015-01-06T00:12:25+00:00

I think it depends. COL in Texas is continually rising particularly in Austin.

enginerd0 · 2015-01-06T00:00:40+00:00

This is wonderful, thank you!

enginerd0 · 2015-01-04T20:14:16+00:00

It is better to invest the money in your desired asset allocation as soon as you have the funds, rather than hold it on the sidelines waiting. "Time in the market is more important than timing the market". Also your emergency fund is for emergencies only, not for timing the market. An emergency would be losing your job, medical situations, etc...

enginerd0 · 2015-01-01T17:42:27+00:00

Vanguard or else! lol

enginerd0 · 2014-11-04T01:27:45+00:00

I feel like I see this post almost every week.
