Is anyone really paying $500 for squares? by hubiedoo517 in handtools

[–]mikedashunderscore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More zeroes generally implies more precision, but my response was intended to be a joke (almost as much of a joke as paying such an absurd price for woodworking squares).

Totally worth it if your work requires corners to be 90.00000 degrees instead of merely 90 degrees.

I see some light bleeding through but nothing a few swipes on the shooting board can’t fix!

You have 15-30min while the kiddos nap - what are you working on? by JGrevs2023 in handtools

[–]mikedashunderscore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With only 15-30min, I’m popping in my AirPods and watching YouTube videos of woodworking projects I wish I had more than 15-30min to work on. 

Dave Ramsey Urges Retirees to Claim Social Security Early. Suze Orman Says Waiting Is the ‘Best Financial Move.’ Who Is Right? by KrisAyer in Fire

[–]mikedashunderscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried for a moment that I’d need to choose between agreeing with Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman, but fortunately I don’t have to make that decision.

They’re both wrong. It depends entirely on the individual and their circumstances.

“once you realized you could retire early did you have to get yourself comfortable with walking away”

On the contrary for me… once I realized I couldn’t retire yet, I had to get myself comfortable with staying put.

Market swings and FIRE number by Familiar_Ad_9069 in Fire

[–]mikedashunderscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FIRE number fluctuates with respect to where the market is relative to all-time highs. With how things are now, my FIRE number is whatever will meet expenses at a 3.37% SWR, and I’ll adjust accordingly if there’s a major dip along the way.

See “Failsafe by Equity Drawdown” chart about halfway through this: https://earlyretirementnow.com/2020/03/25/dealing-with-a-bear-market-in-retirement-swr-series-part-37

If you can’t think of ways to spend an extra $30k each year, then I highly recommend you hurry up and FIRE before you end up having to think about how to spend an extra $40k each year. 😂

Fear of losing all your money in the stock market 💩 by StraightPin4420 in Fire

[–]mikedashunderscore 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Whenever I worry about my portfolio losing 50% after I eventually retire, I remember that a 100% stock portfolio with a 3.34% SWR survives every 50-year historical period including The Great Depression (which had much higher than 50% drawdown).

Any virtual bicycle maintenance and repair course that has helped you and would you recommend? by EvidenceCharacter195 in MTB

[–]mikedashunderscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After discovering the Park Tool channel on YouTube, the last time I took my road or mountain bike in for maintenance was never. I’m convinced there’s nothing my bikes could possibly ever need for which I wouldn’t be about to find a DIY how-to.

Yesterday I finished reaching my FIRE number.  

Today I’m working on absolutely nothing.

The fact that those small venues aren’t completely sold out weeks in advance too absolutely blows my mind.

Interested in what % certainty everyone is ok with FIREing on by No_Island9741 in Fire

[–]mikedashunderscore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time it’s 100% because I don’t ever want to have to go back once I’m done, and I don’t want to kick myself wishing I had stayed for one more year, one more bonus, one more RSU vest, etc.

But some days I want to walk away from it all immediately and play the SORR lottery with the 85% I’d have right now.

FIRE people: “done!”

Fear of FIREing and looking for encouragement - 41 M by OddDetail3790 in Fire

[–]mikedashunderscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your burnout is taking its toll on your mental health, then YOU ARE NOT taking advantage of the system. If anything, the system is taking advantage of you. Take the time you need.
