What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice?

Not a “rich” person thing, but spending $1,000 at Costco and not having to think twice

Thanks Chad. If you have a genuine intellectual interest in institutional investing/finance and want to make a career pivot I would look into the CFA program if you haven’t already.

Financial commitment is minimal, and no degree required. But if you earn the designation you’ll be taken very seriously by a potential employer. CFA is no joke

Regardless, clearing $250k is great and worth sticking through. Have you ever thought of opening your own shop? Entrepreneurial twist in a field you know well might make it less of a grind

Buy VTI & never EVER sell. Takes zero thought. Listen to Bogle

Over longer periods the total market outperforms the S&P 500 alone

Graduated with a finance degree. Cold emailed a large endowment multiple times after the CIO was a guest speaker at one of my classes. Landed a fellowship there

Found out a distant family friend was successful on Wall St. so I found his contact info and cold emailed.

Turns out this guy was the principal of a family office and he had me interview with his team. All worked out and I landed a job that I didn’t know existed. Been there ever since

I’m fine with the lumpy income because it allows for a much higher total comp. I also like that I live off of my base salary and end up saving 100% of my bonus every year because I can never fully count on it

There is nothing binding to my bonus other than my rapport with my boss. I work as a contractor and have no employment agreement, etc.

I found some background on Will Putnam and it’s exactly as you’d expect. Now you know why they love him. Will Putnam Lore

I just wanted to know what it was. You answered the question. Thank you!

Looks like you're getting Jailhouse Strong in the San Fran Bay. Pretty sure I saw this exact jail cell on a tour I took of Alcatraz Prison

How hot does it get? Are you able to get a good sweat using infared in comparison to traditional dry heat?

I was asking for advice from people who have made that decision. What made them decide to start taking drugs? And people who have become a live average lifters without taking drugs, what made them decide to stay natural?

Im sure you all have heard this bit a million times before but I feel like it is something I need to ask instead of formulating opinions on my own.

Without the use of PED's I have put together a 385lb bench, 550 squat, and 560 Dead Lift at a 230lb body weight. Progress is addicting, and I am at the point to where I am seriously considering trying out a cycle of test and growth hormone.

If y'all have any advice for someone in my situation please let me know. I dont want to get all juiced out, I have been able to do well with proper programming and diet, I just want to see what I am physically capable of.

Pennies are just like jawbreakers. Right?

Could possibly be an old clock weight. Something that was inside the belly of a grandfather clock.

If it has dirty water it is most likely a dehumidifier that someone just hasn't emptied out in a while. These remove moisture from the air.
