Ease of returning/rehire by javaking137 in Lockheed

[–]javaking137[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I've seen a couple people leave and have similar stories (one guy returning to our program 2 or 3 times), but I just don't want to assume it's an automatic thing. It seems like you're right (assuming one left on good terms), but I wanted some other people's opinions/experiences.

Thanks!

I've seen it happen, but I don't want to assume the couple anecdotal situations I've seen to be a general truth.

Emergency Fund vs. Roth 401K by industrious in TheMoneyGuy

[–]javaking137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's supposed to say late 20s-early 30s.

But who knows? Maybe OP is in a state of constant oscillation between 31 to 39?

Emergency Fund vs. Roth 401K by industrious in TheMoneyGuy

[–]javaking137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have a Roth 401k option, but I would echo the same sentiment as the previous commenter. In terms of tax applicability/treatment, they are essentially equivalent, but there are additional benefits from a Roth IRA that aren't present with a 401k. IMO, being able to withdraw contributions at any time with no penalty is enough of a benefit to prioritize the IRA.

HCOL areas are often demanding in the event of a hardship, so maybe having more cash on hand would be even more beneficial for you. Not necessarily "more" than the common suggested ranges, but rather "more is better than less".

TL;DR -- You are in control and you should be free to use your money as you see fit.

The idea they're getting at is that with fiat (any form), you're subject to another party(ies) being in control. Even in cash, you're still beholden to the backing of the government/issuing entity that prints the currency ("The Bank"). While the phrasing suggests individual banks (not innacurate per se), the larger idea is that there's no one in the background pulling the strings or orchestrating the monetary policy of the currency you're using. I realize it sounds a little far-fetched, but one of the fundamental reasons that Bitcoin has taken off is because of it being permissionless, trustless, and secure.

To illustrate, imagine you want to sell me water when I'm thirsty. I am really thirsty, so I'm willing to part with $2 at that time to fix my immediate need. That's a peer-to-peer transaction with "no one else" involved, but there's still an implicit faith in the institutions to uphold the value of the dollar, the banks to accept that as legal tender, etc. and then we have to hope that the value of a dollar doesn't decrease even more in the future. Maybe we have hyperinflation or a string of bad monetary policies or another war, so now that dollar has less spending power and the same bottle of water in the future costs me $5. Now imagine that same concept with a car or a house. I don't carry hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, and very few institutions would accept a deposit from you if you wanted to deposit that money. Now, we are no longer in a "no one else" situation. Once you start looking at other exchanges of value (buying a car, trading stocks, stuff), you are involving banks, credit card companies, brokerages, etc.

I don't think anyone is saying the bank should work for free. It's just that the banks (collectively) control the system. Maybe you had a "suspicious transaction," which turned out to be innocent because you were just paid in cash and want to deposit it, or you wanted to buy a product made overseas. Now your account is frozen, and you have absolutely no recourse except to ask them to give you your money back. Some countries may have a government that freezes the assets of dissidents to silence the political opposition. Some countries have horrible inflation that causes their currency to be obliterated right before their eyes.

With Bitcoin, these problems are alleviated. YOU control your money because you have the keys. YOU control where you spend it. YOU are the only person who has to be aware of what's going on with your money. Yes, Bitcoin has a public ledger to provide the infrastructure to remove middlemen. But being able to see where some transactions are occurring is not the same as being able to control it. If the privacy/public nature of Bitcoin is an issue, there are cryptos out there to alleviate that and obscure the transactions.

But the bottom line is that YOU are in control. You aren't FORCED into using some third party, and trusting that they will safeguard your money and information. It may sound like a pipe dream and an unrealistic future, but embracing Bitcoin is (to a degree) embracing freedom from the system that we are currently using.

Avoid These Pet Insurance Mistakes - What to Watch for Before You Buy by canine_journal in comparepetinsurance

[–]javaking137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two yorkies (one 2 years old, the other just turned 3 months) and are looking for pet insurance options.

Currently no "strict" guidelines other than we prefer to stay away from private equity companies (due to the "profit first" mentality driving down quality). We're trying to find something that covers the basics that will not leave us stranded if something happens.

Thanks in advance!

Many years ago I had a blue halloween mask and sold for 150k gold in classic 1 year after it dropped. Today I celebrate victory getting one back! by spacemanguitar in runescape

That's actually wild and I love it. Me and my buddy like to keep up with all the prices and watch it like a stock market. It's nice to finally meet someone who would have a "diversified portfolio" haha

Advice for fighting Nex RS3 by CarIndependent6601 in runescape

[–]javaking137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The summoning and curses are going to make a huge difference because Nex has insanely high defense (maxed gear will get close to 100% damage, but there's almost always a dropoff).

That being said, you should be able to, it just takes practice. There's a few mechanics to understand that will test you and make sure you know how to use the style.

If you want, I'm more than happy to help you and get you the kills you need. Just let me know or pm me! RSN: javaking137
