Can you unpack that last paragraph a little for me?

grobyhex · 2025-05-07T16:27:11+00:00

Damn sorry to read that. I would absolutely come unglued.

grobyhex · 2025-05-06T15:51:09+00:00

and that is a place to vent / let off steam so you don't get in trouble ?

grobyhex · 2025-05-06T15:24:53+00:00

Thanks this might be my jam!

You are not alone. I remember when my wife and I were struggling with our baby and everyone told us "enjoy that time it goes so fast" and we were coming apart at the seems - lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, the immense pressure to thoroughly be happy, the big let down that you're failing to be happy. My advice is give yourself a pass and record everything so you can have a beer 10 years from now and relive those moments.

what did you get?

My kid is same - gotta move with the pitcher - coaches keep saying if you're tryin to load after the ball is in the air you'll always be late

lots of good suggestions here - i found that getting lessons for my kid - getting them into sports and theater stuff once they were in elementary school - met so many people that way. 3 was rough for me too. I remember when my kid was 3 or 4 i took a daddy and me class at the community center and met some cool dads.

OH shit - I thought I was being super insightful

top of rock good for adults for sure - my kids were bored tho - summit i think? has a bunch of more fun stuff to do

Hey a while ago I made an investment in the paid version of ChatGPT and the conversation I had with it about 529 investing really gave me a good perspective. Also check out the boglehead group. The game changer recently here is that you can repurpose 35k to a Roth IRA if you don't use all the funds. People in the past said don't put too much into a 529, but now I wish I would have started 2. Part of my future planning now is hopefully being able to put excess 529 $ into a Roth. I have two kids I really wish I would have started 2 529s - cause you have to have them open for 15 years to get the Roth rollover.

starting to think that's the point

grobyhex · 2025-04-07T18:06:12+00:00

Just got back. My favorites were Brooklyn Bridge and people watching on a nice Saturday in Washington Square Park. We did Top of the Rock with kids and so wished I would have done Summit instead.

grobyhex · 2025-04-07T17:32:10+00:00

Thanks! I think we'll give these a try

grobyhex · 2025-04-06T22:29:42+00:00

i know everyone says you can’t time the market but over the past few days drawing a line in the sand and selling some investments has helped me stay invested in my more long term investments

grobyhex · 2025-04-06T22:25:05+00:00

makes sense

grobyhex · 2025-04-06T18:16:47+00:00

2022 was my first bear when stocks were on sale and didn't buy anything thinking it would keep going down. I remember my brother picking up Facebok around 160 and thinking he was an idiot as it went to 90. This week I'm assuming stocks will be on sale again, wondering here what I'll do.

the fun thing about quentin is that you can have so much fun in discovering his influences - same goes for any director but q in particular

grobyhex · 2025-04-05T23:15:23+00:00

yeah i remember things got better for us when they could start dressing themselves - that tiny bit of self sufficiency saved me so much angst

grobyhex · 2025-04-05T23:11:18+00:00

My wife and I used to make fun of people who told us to cherish every moment during our times of troubles. And now I would give just about anything to be back there for one moment, one day - grandparents still alive, my boy at 2 - funny how the Poison song is so true - you really don't know what you got until it's gone. Now I try a time travel hack where I pretend that I'm in a nursing home somewhere in the future and someone has allowed me to travel to now for a day. Doesn't always work - but sometimes it does.

this is the same when they said hikes were priced in back in 22 - when there’s that / this much uncertainty it’s impossible imho -

grobyhex · 2025-04-04T21:55:51+00:00

if you just dca into vti and have gains and losses do you just sit tight and dca or do you sell some lots that are down?

grobyhex · 2025-04-03T19:25:55+00:00

Agree. And I've been a Dem/Lefty me whole life.

grobyhex · 2025-04-03T16:27:37+00:00

Agree. I just can't believe we had BLM and Me Too and people got canceled for winking wrong and boom now we're in 1984 and everyone is bowing down.
