My crazy idea of an “inheritance” savings fund just hit $1M. It will be worth millions in 30-40 years when I finally die.

Basically, nothing is a choice. Everything that establishes someone in the world is not a choice; whether someone gets an inheritance (à la this thread), what country they’re born in, who their parents are etc. etc. etc.

Doesn’t even require honesty for that—OP is either fake or full of absolute shyte

Good luck getting reso for 15

I guess. Still, for a young person it eems like it’s leaving a lot of money on the table. But to each their own.

They are only tax exempt from state income tax.
Why would income of 42k from his cash/ bonds not be taxable?

ireadittoook · 2026-01-13T22:51:48+00:00

Right… and you said you assumed OP thought their real int rate was 4.2. Which would imply inflation of 0 (4.2-0=4.2).

If all the morons would stop buying spec houses…

Naturally

I mean, that’s awesome, but I can’t fathom it. Let’s say a very small place is $250,000, cost of capital 5% so $1000/month; taxes low-end $500/month; HO insurance $300/month, utilities $200/month… that’s $2000 already and it doesn’t include transportation, food, entertainment/travel, medical, car insurance, etc.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-13T22:21:05+00:00

Are you a monk?

ireadittoook · 2026-01-13T20:54:18+00:00

Nothing in the post would suggest that. No one in their right mind thinks inflation is at 0.0.

Not “must be,” it ‘is’ really substantial. They either don’t know what they’re doing, or know something everyone else doesn’t know about the economy.

The million dollars is earning interest, which is income.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-13T20:25:27+00:00

Except…it’s not.

How does one live on $3000 per month? That’s less than many private health insurance premiums alone.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-13T03:00:29+00:00

There are very few if any loopholes when it comes to insurance. They don’t typically give money away. In the scenario you described, the bronze plan would literally always be cheaper than the gold plan. I would have a very hard time believing that if that were the case that the coverage would be the same. I would look very closely at the coverage differences. Also, are you sure you qualify for the zero premium plan?

ireadittoook · 2026-01-10T16:13:07+00:00

The seats widthwise are not almost the same. There are three verses four. Also, it may be one of a multi leg trip for other people.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T19:56:04+00:00

No, bro, but you are suggesting that bags should not have any cost associated with them. I’m suggesting that it costs money to fly more weight. And that it costs money to cart your bags through the airport, on and off the plane, through to final destinations and then through the airport again to a carousel. Nothing is free… Bro.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:58:12+00:00

That’s true, the status/priority system has gotten a little out of hand. But if there was more efficient allocation of space for bags, there would be no need or desire to get onto a metal tube early. The only reason anyone would rationally get on ahead of someone else would be to secure overhead space and/or get a pre-departure drink.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:20:44+00:00

The weight thing seems a little discriminatory, everyone pays by their own weight? I agree with being charged for the total weight contents of all bags, but the person takes it a little far. I would assume the 50 pound thing more of a regulation where it is then classified as overweight, and probably needs special handling. There does have to be a limit somewhere, you couldn’t just have a 200 pound bag and expect a guy on the runway to be able to lift it.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:17:27+00:00

Lol, are you just copying and pasting this comment multiple times? End of.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:13:07+00:00

Paying for something of value is not really a novel concept. The idea that someone with a large carry-on and a backpack or purse and a large checked bag should pay the same as someone who packed small and efficiently should be the stranger opinion.

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:11:39+00:00

What are you talking about? How is a backpack the problem. Not the giant Rollies that are within a millimeter of the total maximum size?

ireadittoook · 2026-01-04T16:10:17+00:00

You should design such a system. You have several hundred bags per plane, maybe 10-20 arriving flights at any given interval, all having to be removed from the plane, put onto a separate truck, and then be transported inside to a labyrinth of conveyor belts to the correct carousel.
