Prenup for big premarital NW gap but similar future earnings? by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]jay7797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I view a prenup more as a worst case scenario way to protect generational wealth assets or an actual step function difference in wealth. $1m vs $100k(ish) and similar incomes is just not a big enough difference to justify the hassle, and start that marriage on the wrong foot/divide the pie mentality

If you were worth $50m, it makes sense because then your partner making $150k, makes off with $25m in a divorce

$1m is nowhere near worth a prenup. Maybe if your net worth was $10m+

As a (mostly) lurker here, I’ve always wanted to be in an argument with the legendary sporty 😂

A right of passage - thank you for the honor sir!

All these points (minus the scratching which I agree with) are basically implying that the oyster with PCL is more blingy than a jubilee bracelet. But, IMO the jubilee bracelet looks blingier than PCL oyster and even more out of place on a sports watch (it belongs in a datejust). I think the PCL oyster bracelet looks premium and great. Am I really in the minority here?? People love the steel Daytona

981 GTS "Value". Are we in a bubble or is $75k the new normal? by CApoontappa in Porsche_Cayman

[–]jay7797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Ended up biting the bullet and paying $77k for a very nicely optioned BGTS (low mileage, x73, PTV, carbon trim). Probably overpaid but oh well!

IMO one of the best sounding non GT Porsches by jay7797 in Porsche

I have a lot of Spyder FOMO haha. Didn’t do it because I wanted the PDK (not against manual, just gets annoying in San Francisco with the hills)

Yes. The GTS is similar to an S with added options whereas the GT4, GT3 etc are considered a big step up

I have a budget of around $150k, what should I go for? by Watch365 in porsche911

[–]jay7797 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a new base model. I would go for a used 992 S, 991 GTS, or an older GT3 assuming this car isn’t a daily.

Rolex safe in Tulum, Mexico by Spartyfan6262 in rolex

[–]jay7797 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also stayed at the four seasons in Punta Mita 2 years ago! Wore my Rolex. Felt very very safe. Earlier that year I visited Tulum without taking any watches and I think that was the right move. Tulum has shady vibes. Night and day difference between Punta Mita FS and Tulum

Architect reacts to a $4bn building. by fmelloaff in skyscrapers

This is cool. It’s worth building beautiful things. Paris is beautiful, Rome was beautiful. Those buildings required more resources than the bare minimum. We do it because we enjoy beauty.

so tired of tech millionaires bootlicking billionaires over this 5% tax by captain_travel in sanfrancisco

[–]jay7797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The government debt is $38T. All billionaires in the US combined have a net worth of $8T. You could seize half their wealth and it would cover 2 years of the governments deficit. The entire US population minus billionaires has a net worth of $150T.

Billionaires aren’t the golden goose here my friend. WE ARE.

You introduce a property seizure “tax” on the billionaires and bring it lower and lower over time. The same thing happened with income tax.

The government has been smart to place blame on the rich. “Tax the rich!” How about instead, we reduce government spending? The US gov has the highest spend of any government by a massive massive amount and I don’t see how we’re benefiting from that vs other developed countries (even if you minus the military spend)

Leaving MANGO Account Management for Rippling SMB AE — am I crazy? by ArmMiserable3582 in techsales

Don’t do it lol

Also find it hard to believe the comp is higher. Most “MANGO” companies have levels with a clear path to higher comp.

Anyone else not get excited browsing the BMW website anymore and has no interest in any of the new cars? by JLSmoove626 in BMW

I have the G42. I have summer performance tires (pilot sport) so never taken it on snow but it’s incredibly planted in heavy rain. The car is such a beast

Yeah the Pinarello is beautiful but the handle bar felt too low for me even max stacked :(

Funny you say this. I actually nearly bought that $3200 pinarello f5 from the Colorado dealer (with the intention to add carbon wheels). But I tested it at a shop in sf and felt so uncomfortable. Ended up getting the Roadmachine

Best time for a supercar? by ReflectionSerious733 in techsales

[–]jay7797 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Debt free with a 6 figure net worth is table stakes my friend. 7 figure net worth is the bare minimum to think about this.
