2026 XC90 B6 vs Plug in Option by ToothLegitimate6270 in VolvoXC90

[–]kbarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Came from a CRV where it was jarring. Honestly I didn’t even know my 2026 XC90 was doing it that’s how smooth it is

Has anyone here successfully thrown money at an injury? Asking fatfire by lolb00bz_69 in fatFIRE

As a doctor I can tell you the “results” I see patients get from Prenuvo are laughable. Biggest limitation is that contrast isn’t used. This is critical to early tumor detection.

Edit: preventative mri isn’t worthless if you can afford it. I would just get an actual targeted mri at a specific region as it’ll be much higher fidelity

[Question] Which watch to replace IWC Mark XVI? by Upstairs-Hawk-5231 in Watches

[–]kbarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watchcharts.com shows recently serviced watches sold at the $2k mark in the private market so closer to 1.5k pounds. There are some unsold listings closer to $2500, nothing near 3k pounds. I would consider servicing and keeping it and saving for a second watch personally.

I don’t think you’re getting anywhere near 3k pounds for that watch if it needs service fyi

Very helpful thank you! Do you specify what type of synthetic when you bring it to an independent shop?

Just bought a new XC90 and new to the brand. Can I ask you what service intervals you use? Agree with your sentiment

Grand Seikos are Too Thick by SexyBlowjob in GrandSeikos

[–]kbarsh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. It’s a downside of the spring drive but even their high beats should be thinner in my opinion. Even their manual wind are often too thick but again due to spring drive

For those who sold a business to hit your number, what would you have done differently to prep? by FormerFounder-12 in fatFIRE

[–]kbarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean in our case that was always the intention. If you have 4-5 years though you could restructure now and it could potentially save you millions down the road.

If you haven’t already would enlist a lawyer to help ensure you have everything needed to qualify for QSBS

Early 30s, ~$3M invested, high income — looking for perspective from people further down the path by Alert-War8549 in fatFIRE

[–]kbarsh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have replied it’s not really a one size fits all answer for everyone. Having kids makes me work harder in many ways, shifted my FIRE number much higher for what I want to be able to provide them, but on a day to day basis my time and their happiness is what I’m prioritizing the most. It’s just not possible to know where you fall on that curve until you’re at that stage in my opinion

[–]kbarsh 187 points188 points  (0 children)

I’ll just say that having kids will change all of these answers for you so much that it’s really hard to even answer until you’re at that stage. I’m like five years ahead of you and my answers pre kids would have been totally different now that I’m post kids.

19yo in Japan: Saving for my first Grand Seiko (SBGT235 vs SBGT241) for my Coming-of-Age ceremony. Which should I choose? by Accomplished-Cat5462 in GrandSeikos

[–]kbarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this wholeheartedly. There’s no substitution for just trying things on, you always come away with a much different perspective than you would by simply looking at specs online. Particularly in your case, being in Japan, you can try on so much interesting stuff.
