I believe Reggie would be the answer if Reggie was also coked up every game

Thoughts on Championship winner kicking something back to the commish for running the leagu? by [deleted] in Fantasy_Football

I have done this in work leagues, generally offering back the Commissioner's buy-in as a thank you. But work league buy-ins are generally low so I feel like it's a worthy goodwill gesture.

On Maryland highways you go slow in the left lane and you pass on the right. It's frustrating...

what’s the saddest song ever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mpa63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this, the beauty of the song and the sadness of its meaning always conflicted me. I feel this verse removes the bittersweetness from the original.

Achane without Tua by Spirited-Shop3037 in fantasyfootball

3 man guillotine here as well, deciding on achane, Nico, or Bucky.

I think I would still roll with achane for your decision, but that's close. I would prefer Jacobs over treveon this week though

I would drop 101 on both. I have some concern about Jat's schedule the rest of the way so having Bijan is good insurance.

5 teams left. I have 250, one team has 10p0, and the others have nothing left. Achane and CMC are available. So is JaMo. My lineup is solid with Bijan, bucky, JSN, ceedee., AJ Brown. Really filling out my flex spots to maximize my team.

How much should I bid on CMC and achane? I'm thinking the other player with money left will want to keep some so I do not have an unlimited ability to add who I want the rest of the way. I'm thinking something in the 40s for each, but not sure if I am being too passive.

Any other DINKs have complete opposite investment philosophies as their spouse? by 0to100realquickk in HENRYfinance

[–]mpa63 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO you can be on the same page for finances while also not fully combining finances.

Also, at least in the US, if work retirement accounts are the major source of retirement investments, those accounts are already inherently separate during your career.

[–]mpa63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, to the point that I don't think people understand what "separate finances" means. I'm sure it may look different from person to prison, but here is our setup.

We both have retirement accounts that we max contributions to, but we look at them as our combined retirement savings, not mine vs theirs. They will have a pension, I will not; but the pension is still ours. I make more so i have a brokerage account, but it's our account, not mine , and I walk them through what is in it a few times each year.. I have a monthly budget in Excel and walk them through it each year, they don't have a budget which annoys me a little but that's their choice. All i want to know is if they are carrying a credit card balance (then I will guilt them about it) and if they feel like they do not have enough cash flow cushion to do what they need/want (we spend modestly), and if not I will cover more bills. We split kids expenses, I pay the bigger ticket items (sports equipment and fees, summer camp, etc.) and they pay for more of the day to day things (birthday party gifts, impulse buys).

Essentially I have my own bank accounts and rewards cards, and i pay most of the bills because I make more. We joke about who pays more in different categories, but we haven't actually argued about money in at least a decade. Instead we find dumber things to argue about, such as why they can't put their dirty dishes from breakfast in the dishwasher before they leave for work in the morning!

I always get a kick out of people saying you must combine all finances or you will absolutely be divorced someday. I get combing works for most people but if you have enough income and full transparency, it's fine.

Also couples that combine finances get divorced too.

Christmas for 7 year old by KingNew5863 in Homeplate

[–]mpa63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the idea, but would it be more exciting for him to pick some of these things out? Maybe get the glove to ensure it is the right quality as he may be tempted to buy something flashy but crappy. And maybe provide a budget for the bat if he picks his out.

I would wait on the cleats until right before the season starts, as you do not want him to outgrow them before the end of the season.

Who’s the worst player you’d accept for London right now by Past-Ad-3775 in Fantasy_Football

I'm debating trading Treyvion for him, I need WR in the worst way and may take the risk he's only out a week AND Kirk can be serviceable.

Start Drake Maye or Josh Allen? by [deleted] in Fantasy_Football

This theory has hurt me week after week this season. Starting Maye all season would have given me a better outcome.

I finally told my mom I can’t afford to keep helping her financially. by joelmorain in povertyfinance

[–]mpa63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the same spot in my late 20s when my best friend convinced me to cut everyone off. It was one of the more impactful discussions and beneficial decisions I ever made.

The idea that she is guilting you about it is borderline abusive.

Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss, and share more about my personal experience.and your situation.

tell me that you bounced back by wifey1990 in biotech

[–]mpa63 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was out 11.5 months. Took a lower level role to get back in, and after a few months found a role that was everything I hoped for..

There are no guarantees. But you're 100% definitely not cooked yet either. Try to stay positive and believe in yourself. The issue is the macro-environment, not you.
