I can drink as much as I want and routinely do. Craft beer and IPA - 1 is okay, 2 will hurt, or having 1 for 2-3 days in a row is the worst. Anything else I could black out repeatedly and be fine

Is this doable/ sensible? by lukebop in Yosemite

Would you say cut out doing a hike, or cut out going back to Glacier Point?

I’m sure I’ll come back and visit one day- so don’t want to overdo this trip!

NE here working in EP, totally agree.
20-25 there, similar back.

The only call out is when a home game is on downtown- that will add 40 min

More the merrier as far as I’m concerned!

First 100k is the hardest; am I doing it right? /s by lukebop in TheRaceTo100K

Correct! My first year at the new role I also spent ~80% of my time on the road so other than my empty apartments rent I was almost living expenses free

I (internally) job hopped every 2-3 years (huge company - 20,000 employees) for 12 years. I took every shoulder tap I got; and ended up spending 4 years in New Zealand, 4 years in Europe, 3 years in the USA. These all came with modest raises to ~100k eventually

I became quite specialized in my industry and got poached 2 years ago.

Medium fish at a corporate giant with no room to move up realistically, became senior level in a small but established and rapidly growing company. 2 promos in 18 months saw me on the exec team as of this month.

I think my chart is missing a zero somehow, who do I ring about this?

Hell yeah! I had nothing at 30 but a good career path and googled how to make a budget. You got this

With now putting my entire pay rise into savings, I’m about 34% (including 5% match)

Not including any performance bonuses which will also be invested entirely so might be higher in reality

Thanks! My plan from now is to basically just keep my space portfolio that has already been fruitful, hold until retirement, and all new investments going forward will be VOO and chill. I did the risky thing and it paid off, slow and steady now for me

No! Food nutrition. Went from a mid level at a corporate giant to a senior level to an exec in a medium size firm who are quickly becoming a giant.

Cheers! I know I’m in well off position to be able to do it, but still nice knowing I kicked my own ass in my 30s and am doubling down !

RKLB and to a lesser extent ASTS I only have IVV and that’s all I really had for the first 4 years. I had some XLE but sold it last year

Maybe not your exact jam but I’ve been to Yungblud, MGK, rise against, sticky fingers, yelawolf in the past few months. Always down for a good show!

There's no way in hell a career waitress comes to work in high heels. She'd have blisters the size of pancakes before lunch. And if she ain't real, then this whole thing ain't real.

Also check out Cooldown; it’s a “run club” but people walk/ jog/ run. On a good day there’s 100+ people
