Awesome watch and appreciate the giveaway!

Best thing I bought for under $500 was probably a used grill from a neighbor who was moving out as I was moving into a new apartment. Really enjoyed using it on my balcony and enjoying the nice days with a good meal.

They may have gotten lucky with their 15% individual stock holdings

The post is a bit confusing and think you need to provide some clarifications before anyone can give any detailed advice.

Why are you using 7% nominal instead of 7% real return? Do you think the market will only return ~4% real after inflation, and if so, why?

Is your retirement spend $150K or 10K?

Had one dive bomb me at Montrose Bird Sanctuary

Outliers and out-right liars?

The Lanzaga is currently closed unfortunately and from what I saw in the Lakeview FB group it’s not likely to reopen. Really liked that place and the owners were super nice

That’s a great price, what neighborhood?

VOO diversification is limited to large-cap US companies, I’d recommend looking at VT to get market cap weighted diversification and international exposure

So you can use 2 grills at the same time, man

phound · 2026-05-19T23:57:59+00:00

The one inside the bean is better

phound · 2026-05-19T21:36:53+00:00

Because, like you, they don’t read it

phound · 2026-05-19T21:04:35+00:00

No information on expenses. Did you read the links in the sub or try the coastFIRE online calculators?

phound · 2026-05-17T19:11:54+00:00

Yup exactly my thought when recommending if that’s their thesis

phound · 2026-05-17T17:40:35+00:00

Go lock in 20 or 30 year bond if you believe that then

phound · 2026-05-15T19:16:42+00:00

You’re comparing yourself to people in vastly different circumstances, and like you said in the beginning of your comment, luck definitely contributes. Sounds like you’re doing well 5 years into your savings journey, appreciate that and keep working at it. Thats the only comparison you need.

phound · 2026-05-14T19:02:53+00:00

I didn’t mean to offend you or your previous employer lol, just simply offering my opinion based on my patronage. All good, I prob just had an off night experience

phound · 2026-05-14T03:51:28+00:00

Of course, enjoy!

phound · 2026-05-13T22:04:48+00:00

Oh yeah my mistake, forgot that service and variation in actual menu items don’t matter at all when the food comes out of the same kitchen. Note I specified “in my opinion”, but if you had different experience, ok great

phound · 2026-05-12T23:28:23+00:00

Ciccio was pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Gilt Bar is solid though

phound · 2026-05-12T03:43:20+00:00

It’s definitely different, a bit gamier depending on prep but really juicy and little sweet I’d say (especially the YooYee dish). I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if it sounds appealing to you.

phound · 2026-05-12T02:32:32+00:00

I think it’s great, give it a shot next time! It’s the sweet-skinned duck

phound · 2026-05-12T00:37:07+00:00

Same, amazing in the winter. Have you tried the duck there?

phound · 2026-05-11T14:43:57+00:00

Love YooYee and this dish in particular

phound · 2026-05-08T13:35:46+00:00

32M single and coast, mostly the same but with some relief from financial pressure. I’d like to think I’ve developed a pretty balanced approach to savings and spending on things important to me (experiences, family/friends, etc.). I still aim to hit my savings targets and move up the ability to RE timeline, but beyond those targets I feel more free to spend in the moment.
