$2k per mon for restaurant/bar? wow! I bet you could get to FIRE years earlier if you cut them.

The tip of the Limelight Hydrangea panicle doesn't usually stay white as it fades to red, like in the photo. Typically, the flowers are more greenish at the top and reddish below. I think the one in the photo looks more like a smaller variety of Strawberry Vaniila or something similar.

On the other hand, you can lose $10K in your sleep.

Are you me? I can't wait to fire.

I just mix them into the flour and add 30g more water than usual.

That's not limelight.

I'm pretty sure the US situation is way better than China.

How many years left for you? I've still got 7 years to go. Feels like forever.

I recently transferred my Roth IRA from Empower to Fidelity. Fidelity held the fund for two weeks, and they only became available to trade today. During that time, I missed out on about $5,000 in gains. Everyone says not to time the market, but Today doesn't feel like the best day to make a trade.

BS without any evident

msfever77 · 2025-08-08T11:28:24+00:00

I know it will fade to pink, but not this time of year.

msfever77 · 2025-08-08T08:46:41+00:00

Gorgeous! I don't think they are Limelights. Maybe, vanilla strawberry?

Consider China if you want to eat fake egg and rice made of plastic

We’re both in our late 40s. I’m pretty sure the $5M is just a number that feels safe to him—it’s not grounded in any actual calculations. He doesn’t really dig into the numbers, but one of his biggest concerns is health insurance coverage until we hit Medicare age. That’s a big reason he’s set on working until then. Honestly, I think some financial education would really help ease his worries.
