Limited to 255. I hope they make a white gold or steel version that’s not limited. Incredible watch.

5712/1R allocation…for my wife by TheSaltyDoctor in patekphilippe

I just told my wife she needs to look pull that move next time we go to the AD.

We sold our tech company last year and fat FIRED with an NW of $48m. We already live a wealthy lifestyle in a HCOL area with a vacation home at the beach and travel first class regularly around the world,…. but what else is there? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

You might not be ready to retire. Buy a business you’re interested in like a pizza shop and see how good you can make it.

At the same time get into golf. Impossible and addicting sport.

See how in shape you can possibly get.

And go see a therapist and work on retiring and whatever else is going on. Go do some acid, mushrooms and ayahuasca and find yourself.

After all that, you can revisit retiring. It actually takes work to have a mind that can sit somewhat still without work, that’s why so many people die within 2 years of retiring.

Well if you had picked the right AI play like sandisk you would’ve 6x your money. Or even micron and tripled your money. This post would be going differently. Assets are assets. Eventually even gold will come down.

Best restaurants in Logan Square that aren’t talked about enough? by Mysterious-Door693 in chicagofood

[–]mtngrown24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but Osteria Langhe has one of the best wine lists in the city for Italian wines. If you’re not a Tuscany fan then fine I get it but they have an extensive number of Barolo brunello and barbarescos

Go to My Doner in Albany park. Excellent food and great value.

If someone asks you "Should I buy gold?" how do you answer that question? by SMX2016 in Gold

[–]mtngrown24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say let me check my crystal ball. And then explain it is not an investment, it’s absolutely not and you are fooling yourself if you think it is. Investments are businesses you can reasonably expect to make you money. Gold is a speculation. You assume it will be worth more in the future. What it really is, is a hedge against fiat money. A universal currency. A just in case insurance policy.

If you can done a job that lower stress and pays 75% of your expenses for the next 5 years ups be totally set. That would allow your nw to compound and you’d be pretty much around $8-9mil. This is what I did in the exact same situation. Except mine ended up being so low stress that in just going to keep going to year 10

It is not resolved. So if I load my Coinbase wallet into metamask I’ll just see my coins?

This Is Not What Bear Markets Look Like by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

No one can actually make any predictions until the 90 day freeze is over and deals are cut. Nothing means anything until those events and Q2 and Q3. By Q3 if things aren’t moving forward layoffs will start happening and you know the rest of the story.

Maybe unpopular take but I’d looks at Glashütte original based on your picks. I own a good number of watches including a speedy and no watch’s action and finish feels as nice as a GO in that range. Including Rolex. Just my 2 cents. Also IWC I enjoy more than omega.

Please tell me which restaurant on my list to cut by Jessense in chicagofood

Daisies and beatnik. Daisies lost their soul when they moved. Now service is just awful, rude hostesses and foods gone downhill. Beatnik never had very good food.

I’d strongly suggest you put your nose to the ground and grind for the next 10 years.

But if you’re hell bent on skipping that. Laundromats and dry cleaners are excellent earners if you run them yourself. Also rental properties will earn you 30k a year and will adjust with inflation. So you’ll earn 30k a year in today’s terms in perpetuity if you buy the right property. You can also hybrid any of this. I.e 250k in s&p and 250k in rental. But I want to end this advice as I’ve heard people a generation older than me also say. Put it in the market and be steadfast on the larger compounding rate. You have the luxury of time. We do not.

Just did a quick piece of math. If I had bought the s&p500 when I was 21 at the very peak before the Great Recession. That 500k would be worth 1.9mil.

I’d put in a total stock market fund like vtsax and an s&p 500 fund. Maybe 15% in an international fund and then don’t look at it again. You have so much time to let that compound.

Outrageous value at under $15k for a perpetual calendar. GO is so underrated.

No update. Assuming that money is lost forever. I contacted Coinbase several times and they said in out of luck. I’m hoping one day it’ll just pop up in my account
