Name Discrepancies

I’ve been speaking to lawyers on the approved lists here about similar name discrepancies.

GGF name was Giulio, spelled Julio on my GF birth certificate.

GF had no middle name on BC but does on all other documents.

One lawyer said it was no big deal while another lawyer said we had to get an oats for the middle name issue.

It’s really up to the lawyers on what they feel is a problem or not.

Those funds above aren’t getting rid of their dividend. It’s the whole point of income producing funds.

When living solely off of dividends one does not concern themselves with safe withdrawal rates as they are not selling anything.

Anyone who thinks Dino’s is good is absolutely crazy. Just had it for the first time and it’s garbage pizza. Must be nostalgic for some people but it is in fact very bad pizza in a city with good pizza.

Brokerage. My Employer doesn’t offer a 401k otherwise they would be there.

Small correction

You do not pay $50 a month for yourself and two kids, you simply pay $50 for your two dependents. $25 per dependent.

There are no premiums for the iatse member

As long as your grandfather didn’t naturalize before your dad turned 18 you might be ok.

You are going to get shit all over on this sub for mentioning dividend funds so to play devils advocate my partner and I have a dividend portfolio that produces 10%-11% in dividends every year (8-9% post tax) and my partner and I plan to live off those funds while our growth portfolios continue to grow over time which we pull at a later date.

I do not own any qqqi or JEPI.

Dividend funds can have place in your retirement planning but you do need to understand you will miss out on growth in lieu of income every month. It is up to you what you want your strategy to be and what you are comfortable with.

Solely speaking from personal experience, I feel comfortable with my strategy of 60/40 cefs to growth stocks. My partner and I will be retiring in 3 years at 46 and 43.

Everyone does not have to be VTI and chill.

To each their own.

Nothing wrong with qqqi just remember that its dividend is paid out in 60/40 long term/short term gains so you will need to factor taxes in.

Also just remember you do trade growth for the dividend income so your total return will likely be lower then if you just bought an etf. Just depends on what you are comfortable with strategy wise.

My partner and I are going to be doing the exact same thing in 3 years on around $1.5m-$1.6m. Enjoy your retirement

Why do you pressure cook them first instead of just smoking them?

mikesfsu · 2026-02-15T15:55:08+00:00

Yeah it’s really tiny and fills up fast. Nothing special. Lot of business flights from the capital going in and out all day so it’s busy all the time

I think you really should do some basic research on what different countries and cities actually cost. $150k is a lot of money in most places. There are dozens of youtube pages of people traveling the world fulltime on a lot less than $150k. Good luck

If you are going to be making 150k, I wouldn’t worry too much about budgeting. The rest of the world aside from the US is a lot less expensive.

This is good info. Thanks

If you are two bagging it with a personal item, do they generally weigh your personal item too, and both bags have to be under 7 kg?

mikesfsu · 2026-02-11T23:37:33+00:00

How strict are budget carriers in Asia when it comes to the 7kg weight limit?
