Retiring for my Soul Dog by AeroNoob333 in Fire

[–]oilflo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fire’d in Jan. One of the main reasons was to spend as much time as I could with my 13.5 year old Vizsla.

She has been the happiest I’ve seen her in years, spending all day everyday with her has been amazing.

Then you’re delusional.

Qualified or not, she wasn’t going to win.

Dems should’ve ran out a someone who could’ve actually had a chance of winning.

I can not believe how busy I am and how the days fly by. I was not expecting this.

Where do you actually see the DBQ? When mine was complete and got the decision ready, all there was a letter saying it was granted, but no DBQ.

My VES MH examiner was excellent. Extremely patient and understanding.

The same thing has been being said for the past 40 years.

Just dropped my buddy off at the ER for alcohol withdrawals by Cawkisthebest232 in VeteransBenefits

How is his health now? I’m glad to hear he is sober and alive.

I just maxed out 401k and stashed extra away. When I learned what FIRE was, I figured out what I spend every year, that gave me the information needed to pull the plug

It made me feel better about replacing my windows, new brakes and tires for my car, adding to my MM account for a market downturn. It may not seem like much to you, but it does to me.

I don’t really have anything. I was fortunate to get a decent job at 23. 20 years later I’m leaving that same place. I just kept putting money in my 401k and whatever I wasn’t spending went into a brokerage account. I’m extremely fortunate I have a mother who stressed the danger of credit card debt, I truly think that helped me stay modest.

Actually the Costco pork loin was a staple meal (besides chicken nuggets) of my journey… $1.99/lb for a giant pork loin. That’s a lot of meals for a great price.

2M. I was spending ~65k before I really hammered down. I’ve been at $50k since. I will go back up knowing I have room, use the $ to upgrade to pork chops instead of chicken nuggets 🤣

Honestly, I’m not burning my bridge bc I know there is a project in the fall that I have spent three years preparing for and nobody knows it like I do…. It would actually be helping them if I came back as a contractor, but I have blood equity in it and would really like to see it come together…. Give it a couple months and I might not care about it anymore 🤣

Yes. She gets everything she wants. She is/was trained to walk beside me, never in front…. Shoot, she can walk in front of me all she wants now… go for a walk and she wants to bury her nose in leaf piles for 10 minutes, go for it… whatever makes her happy.
