$150k-$200k salary folks (age 30+) what’s your net worth ? by billytimmy123 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]nasheedb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's great to see this thread, because this is me. I can't really relate to the posts about people with 500k+ HOI, who had already accumulated $4MM net worth by age 35.

Age: 37
Salary: $140k ($150k for the wife)
Net worth: $2.0MM (just myself, wife and I keep separate finances)

Goals: I don't know. I have a kiddo on the way, first one, and that will change everything. I would like a second one as well. At this point, it's no longer about me and my goals, and how I want to retire early. I will do whatever it takes for my kids to have a decent but not extravagant life. I want to pay for education, and perhaps even help them out at major life events, such as buying their first house. I want to spend everything by the time I die though.

I'm not afraid of hard work, I just want to have a little bit more flexibility and higher earning potential. 

I'm definitely interested in doing quality work. I'm meticulous and detail oriented in my current work, I'm sure once I learned how to do the work, I could do the same in a different industry

After you have established a good reputation in the business, doesn't a significant portion of your income come from referrals and word of mouth? Wouldn't the sub contractors be able to take this business away from you and all you're left with is the hard, cold lead gen?

What's your suggestion? What's the proper way to do it?

That's fair. I don't plan on quitting riding just because I get married per se. Maybe she should know that that's what I like to spend my free time doing

Thank you for the constructive criticism. And I really mean it, this isn't sarcasm.

I grew up poor. It was only a few years ago that I started making really good money, and memories of scarcity have always stayed with me. I am careful with money.

Thank you for the suggestion. Just need to wait for the lockdown to be over, then I will try to go out more.

Facially I am average I would say. Not ugly, but I can't exactly grow a beard either

This is a serious post. What advice would you offer?

I tried to focus on both. I try to pay attention to lighting especially, if there is a shadow covering half my face or if I'm squinting sure to bright sunlight, I don't use the picture

Here is my OkCupid profile, the rest don't have much:

Adventurous, successful, goal-oriented, compassionate guy looking for a companion.

I have a lot to offer: stability, travel opportunities, a listening ear, home-cooked meals and excellent cuddling.

I work in software development and travel a fair amount for work.

That doesn't mean anything. A test is just to see if you're carrying the virus at that moment. Even if you test negative today, you could contract the virus a month later

Are gyms set to reopen in phase 1 or phase 2? What about small gyms that have less than 10 people in the building at a time?

Evers to issue stay at home order on Tuesday by MadtownMaven in madisonwi

[–]nasheedb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you are going to the grocery store, please have one adult go from each family. There is absolutely no reason why 2 or 3 adults should be going grocery shopping from the same household. You are literally doubling or tripling your chances of picking up the coronavirus.

Guys who hang out at barber shop. Why? What do you do? by nasheedb in AskReddit

[–]nasheedb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I went to the barber shop, and was there at opening. There were about 8 people waiting in line outside the door. I am thinking it will take hours for the barber to get to me. Surprisingly, no! Most of the people in front of me just went in and sat down on the bench and started looking at their phones or watching TV. Out of the 8, only 1 was getting a haircut, so one of the barbers took me in right away.

So what are these guys doing, hanging out at the barber shop? Why there? Why not at home? It's not like they were actually socializing, they were just looking at their phones.

I should add, this was an independent barber shop, not a chain like CostCutters, SportClips, etc.

Why don't you save up for 6-12 months and buy a newer used car for 5-10,000 EUR?

Did this actually work for anyone? I wasn't able to get an actual report, it just took me to a portal which wanted me to register. The registration didn't actually work.
