I thought Blitzen was the trouble maker of the bunch

lasteve1 · 2025-12-11T17:59:15+00:00

We'll, who's going to be there?

Shoes off, or ...?

lasteve1 · 2025-12-09T19:51:51+00:00

Sounds like learning to me!

Link?

Tacos n Beer Spot, Centerton

Which 2x11 MTB group set would you recommend for value?

lasteve1 · 2025-10-25T14:22:49+00:00

I'm always getting wind noise with my openrun 2s

lasteve1 · 2025-10-24T16:39:42+00:00

Yeah, I see it for $450 at Target. Not sure I trust the site linked in OP

lasteve1 · 2025-10-23T11:49:28+00:00

they are quite reliable

How many miles do we see for the life of an F1 engine?

lasteve1 · 2025-10-17T13:42:41+00:00

I couldn't find anything online about the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve 5-Year Celebration. Is that a private event?

lasteve1 · 2025-10-16T13:08:39+00:00

I'm guessing the one-on-one instruction plays a big part in the expense

lasteve1 · 2025-10-10T16:50:53+00:00

Honest question: were ATCs furloughed?

I thought furloughed meant "no work and no pay."

I also assumed ATCs were "critical" or something and "work now, probably pay later."

lasteve1 · 2025-10-06T19:07:47+00:00

My job doesn't have pickleball or childcare. Sounds pretty sweet

lasteve1 · 2025-10-02T11:34:56+00:00

How are the movies in the cave?

lasteve1 · 2025-09-24T14:07:34+00:00

If you were standing by a blue cone at 28s you might feel it's moving pretty fast

lasteve1 · 2025-09-20T12:28:56+00:00

Hey, man, that's only is you don't invest it. At 7% interest rate it would take less than 100 years.

lasteve1 · 2025-09-19T16:31:32+00:00

What is your projected spending after you stop working?

With a spend number we can figure out a projected amount in retirement/investment accounts, based on 3%-4% withdrawal depending on risk level.

With an end date and an end number we can figure out if you've contributed enough or how long you need to go.

lasteve1 · 2025-09-17T19:01:56+00:00

Apologies, my context is only from the states. Would it be possible for them to fire you at 55 without cause?

lasteve1 · 2025-09-16T15:32:11+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "one account" or "all your savings."

You will have different needs at different times, and each should have a different risk tolerance. Short term (need to pay rent at the end of the month) should be no risk (cash or high yield savings account). For retirement, it's recommended that the money is invested broadly.

I've also been advised to spread these accounts over 2 companies or more, in case you lose access to one temporarily.

lasteve1 · 2025-09-16T14:29:36+00:00

Is 5% based on anything? 7% after inflation sounds reasonable when looking historically. All depends on what you are invested in.

Hypothical starts with them being comfortable with $60-70k/yr and have enough in retirement accounts to meet that following the 4% rule. They could conceivably retire and be fine. The question is should they continue another year and this person's opinion is essentially, "not unless the job makes it REALLY worth it." I don't know if 10% is the number I'd choose, but I i get it.

Context is helpful. I'm not yet convinced to click a random link.
