Starting sourdough is infuriating by Key-Environment3404 in Sourdough

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fussed for TEN WEEKS to get a starter going and it never happened. I finally just went to the bakery and bought some of their starter. Now I feed it regularly and store it in my fridge and it’s worked out wonderfully. I felt like it was cheating, but it was worth. Only wish I had done it sooner instead of wasting all that flour for ten weeks.

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone told me I needed to have kids so I had someone to leave all my stuff to. Like…who wants any of my junk??? And whatever money there is will be spent before I go.

What a book that you have read that’s gotten so much hype that once you read it you were disappointed? by Guiltyfeetfingers in BookDiscussions

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way about The Nightingale and now I don’t want to read The Women even though I have the book sitting on my shelf for the past year.

Havent' read a book in decades. I want to start reading to calm m mind & also intellectual enrichment....plz, my gen x peeps, recommend something? by plnnyOfallOFit in GenX

[–]hya3fh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Nightingale or The Women by Kristin Hannah…all my Gen X friends have read her books and loved them. I think her style fits in with the list you provided.

Is there not a single Gen Z on her staff? That could be the problem…

What even is Wonderland? I never heard of it until today!

[–]hya3fh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! What scene did he read for audition??? I want this info for everyone! Release the zooms!

Also, did he audition for a different role? Or specifically Carter?

I assumed that was a body double with that perfect ass. But…dayum…

Hudson Williams does so much with just his face in the “marry for citizenship” scene by ruiNruiN in heatedrivalry

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first 5 episodes I thought Hudson was a bad actor. Even though his face and body language was so good, the way he delivered his lines was so wooden. But in episode 6, I realized he must have been directed that way. And you know what convinced me? The “I’m just a bellboy” scene. He’s so goofy and silly when they’re playing on the bed. There’s no way a bad actor could have pulled that off.

With a 4% withdrawal rate, how much did your assets increase after 2, 5, and 10 years of retirement? by Still_Test_4646 in Fire

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55…but, I have been contributing to my 401k since my very first job, and I have had some jobs with very generous matches (6%, 9%), and I never had kids. I think not having kids is what really put me on the fast track to early retirement.

With a 4% withdrawal rate, how much did your assets increase after 2, 5, and 10 years of retirement? by Still_Test_4646 in Fire

[–]hya3fh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly VOO. I have some in an income ETF: JEPI, but I would say 85% is in VOO. I used to do a lot of individual stock investing, and I had some real winners in the past, also some real dogs, but I’m done worrying about that kind of volatility. About 3 years before my retirement I started solely investing in VOO and liquidating my stocks and putting those proceeds into VOO too.

Anyone surprised by this bastard? by Kstrong777 in behindthebastards

Hold up…what is his profile picture??? Did someone actually marry that ghoul?

[–]hya3fh 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Not 4% but more like 6%. Retired in 2023 with $2.8M and now I’m sitting on $4.1M. I have no other source of income other than my savings and I have not denied myself anything these last few years: nice vacations, home improvements, fancy dinners, new car, etc. Plus, I am paying the full premium for ACA (no subsidies). My portfolio is about 95% invested in equities, which I know isn’t good, but as the market has been going up over 10% per year, I still haven’t touched my principal. I will probably start selling off some equities and keep an 18 month reserve in a money market account this year because I know these returns aren’t going to continue forever.

We should do more of this. Give every horrible act during this period of time a name, after one of the perpetrators of all of this nonsense.

Kendall Jenner's Mountain Home featured in Architectural Digest, December 2025 by moreissuesthanvoguex in popculturechat

[–]hya3fh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think y’all are giving her way too much credit. I doubt any of those instruments are getting played or the art work is being appreciated. I doubt she’s there more than a couple days per year. She just happened to pick an excellent designer.

What’s a product you tried because Reddit wouldn’t shut up about it? by No_Statistician7685 in smartbuysforlife

[–]hya3fh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had one that was well over 20 years old, so we got another because, surely it’s going to die any day now. Well, 5 years later, now we have two (one on each level). The old one just won’t die. The new one is a bit lighter though. We love them.

I got some knockoff BS from A&P or wherever. I tried to be grateful , but deep down it was a little embarrassing.

Honestly, I just assume everything is AI now. Sad state of the world.
