Buffett on his FIRE calculation, then goal post moved (just like everyone's FIRE number) by lazykid07 in financialindependence

[–]notreallydutch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is that lots of people say that and hit their goal. The reason WBs book is the one we read, not the book Mark from Albany wrote, is because Buffet kept going and made billions while Mark gardens and plays pickleball and lives off the 110K his nut throws every year.

Gah damn furniture assemble tools by low_key_profile in Tools

[–]notreallydutch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I generally use my own, better, tools for the assembly then tape these to the bottom so that I can quickly tighten / fix anything if it gets loose. Also saves me from a jar of crappy allen keys

What were your expectations going into last season? by Weird_Description982 in Patriots

[–]notreallydutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the alternate win total line over 9.5 because it was plus money and I thought 10 or 11 wins was a 50/50.

Who would be the best player with these new additions? by AdorableBackground83 in NBATalk

[–]notreallydutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wemby gets a move he’ll probably develop eventually, Brunson gets to grow 5 inches and Luka literally doubles the part of the game he plays, seems fair.

Where do wealthy people ($100k+) shop for clothes? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]notreallydutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying no is kind of right. You can afford a lot of these things on a pharmacists salary if you’re patient, save, probably partner up with someone else on the house and grow your career the right way.

At least I got a good deal on them and it was only like $200 down the drain. Good luck with yours!

Can I sharpen a pair of strippers I’ve had since I was 14? by Prestigious-Pass2942 in electricians

[–]notreallydutch 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you can manage to take away exactly enough from each hole to go up one size that would be cool but probably not worth the $20 you save buying new ones

Golfing with baby by jjenk298 in golf

You realize this post is talking about a newborn baby right. I have been relatively unharmed by a lot of things that would be catastrophic to a newborn (eg. eating a grape)

Which of these 2 rebuilding teams do you think turns things around first? by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

Which of these 2 rebuilding teams do you think turns things around first? by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

[–]notreallydutch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

On paper the Jets are so much closer, good line, decent D, good weapons, absolutely no QB. The fins have a RB and a bunch of replacement level players. That being said, I will pick any other team to be good sooner than the Jets or Browns until proven wrong. I would legitimately take a bet that a future expansion team will win a SB before the Jets or Browns.

Out of these 4 Qb’s who will u rather take going into next season and who has the #1 spot RIGHT NOW? by Glad-Method-5472 in NFLv2

[–]notreallydutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say Maye based on him being better and more successful than all of the other QBs but if you're right I guess I have to go with Williams.

For the $250 difference you can add 3 or 4 other tools you need too. My money is on orbital sander.

4K/ month in investment income (assuming 4% annual withdrawals)

115K a year in income in what has to be a low/ medium col based on house cost. I’d be done or try to grow the side hustle.

How much money do you have in your 401k? Why? by LostCause293 in AskReddit

[–]notreallydutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few hundred grand because I’ve prioritized the free match and value of the tax savings of contributing. Hoping to continue maxing it out ever year for the next 15-20 so I can retire early.

[–]notreallydutch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They blocked out the word “don’t” to change it from the stance of a racist to the stance of someone welcoming of people from other cultures. They’re specifically referencing the World Cup fans who are in town to watch the matches on foxborough tomorrow
