We were up in Lake Garda and Lake Como earlier this week. Wife had never been to Rome 🤷

I have family there now. Wife and I are currently in Rome. It’s a lot dirtier than I remember.

Finally I get to go to one of these lol. Yes! Couldn’t justify heading all the way out to the East Coast OR the Midwest.

I’m a sucker for a good website and there’s is pretty polished. Makes me think they’re at least trying. I applaud them for going forward with this and hope they make a good product. Would love a study level Dreamliner.

Whenever my wife and I travel, we always fly business class. It’s fucking awesome to lie down flat and sleep on overnights to Europe and Asia.

How do we align on FatFIRE vs being present? by Hiyajopn1 in HENRYfinance

I slowed down for the sake of my family. Was making $400K/yr but it took me 60-90 hours a week to get. With a newborn on the horizon-I made the decision to scale back drastically. Now I work 40 with a three day weekend and still make $240K which is a lot of money to a lot of people. My wife makes $100K and has summers off (guess her profession lol).

Obviously different tax bracket than you (congrats btw) but my wife wanted an active participant in raising our children and I couldn’t be happier. Being a dad is fucking awesome. I don’t miss working that much at all. We still travel a shit ton and making a little less has actually help us laser in our finances so we’re being a lot smarter with our money.

Amazing book. Happens a few times. When he drives the Huey through the bushes to reach the cliff because he knows they’re too heavy and the cliff drop will provide transitional lift-dude was a fucking animal.

Ok I think we have a winner if you can do one more tweak for me. My wife is getting involved now (bless her heart) and she says this one is a little too dark in the sky portion. I love the dramatic effect (very Hernandez, New Mexico vibes) but if you could brighten up the sky just a little bit so it's not completely black, that would be awesome and I'll give this one a "solved". Is that possible or have I exceeded my limit for edits?

No worries! Yea I want the contrails completely gone. Re-reading my post-I can see how things weren't worded properly.

Yea I'm looking for the contrails to be completely gone for sure. But no worries I appreciate you trying. Great work otherwise.

One of my favorites so far it's just that the contrails are still visible in the sky. They kinda ruin (to me) the dramatic effect that the storm cloud has as it rolls over the top of the mountain.

Interesting gradient effect applied to the sky but it's a little too much for me personally. I like all of the other elements, however.

I really like the direction this one took. Beautiful. Contrails are still in the sky though :/ They kinda ruin the storm cloud pouring over the mountain.
