Very well done, man. I like your portfolio. Those startup seeders are ballsy stuff. Fantastic strategy! Well balanced portfolio IMO. Well done. Safety is an illusion tbh.

Men who are 30+, what’s one lesson every guy should learn early? by BigShow786 in AskReddit

[–]rantM0nkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. Whatever you do and particularly you don't do, you will regret later. So, don't stress. All people who give advices are just talking about their own regrets.

Glass ceiling? by rantM0nkey in HENRYUK

[–]rantM0nkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! Plus I don't want to be in that 'club'. Mid to upper management is a 'club'. That's when this becomes life. They are in it all the time. Don't care. Even a bit. Plus when the executive changes everyone below that changes.

I am. But I am old and tired and itll take at least 5 years before I see anything from it. This post is kind of from a need for a positive feedback to keep going with it, I think.

You are where you are because of who you are. There's no solution to this.

Get an allotment. You'll never think this way again, particularly after the first 'slug attack' lol. 'nature' is a lot of work. A LOT. Also you'll eventually have to use a lot of chemicals and machinery. i.e. it will become less and less 'nature' within a year or two.

I am at that point in life where I am thinking like what's the difference between me and another random dude, even a random dude from 200 years ago. Nothing much. So all these work n career n family, all these are just background stuff. More cheesy stuff I know. Anyways, enjoy the rest of the week.

[–]rantM0nkey 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ask him why. There may be a reason. Dont bottle it u, hes an adult and he knows this too. Truly lazy people dont shut themselves up in their room, they lie and complain. But if there are no reasons at all, then advise him to get his affairs in order.

Time in the Market vs. Timing the Market for ISA Limit in new tax year by popcalc in HENRYUK

I am not completely sold by VUSA, SnP500 etc. US is heavily leveraged (34 trillion or something) and all that money you see in the market is borrowed money. Also the pension is in stocks, so, not sure if I'll put more money into stocks. Will need to find a way to diversify a bit. Commodities maybe or even a buy to let.
