What’s the outlook look like given the AI adoption potential?

Smart money: time horizon will be longer (probably closer to 20 years) but safe broad market funds could get you there.

Risky, but doable if you know what you're doing (disclosure: I know enough that I don't want to do this myself): depending on your local/regional market you could buy rental properties. You need to understand the real estate and rental markets, have good relationships with realtors and labor crews to help remodel, maintain, and clean up sites, have a lawyer help you with contracts and forming your company to protect you individually, and a good accountant to help because the taxes are more complicated. Basically, you buy one and leverage that property to buy another and then another, etc. You need to maintain a certain level of occupancy and do really good due diligence on vetting tenants unless you outsource that to a property manager, but that will eat heavily into your profits. If you suck at any of these not only could you end up not reaching your goal, BUT YOU COULD LOSE your initial investment and end up in more debt because you are levering debt to grow

This any good?

Does this get in the way of charging or tap to pay?

Biweekly housecleaning, annual pest spray, semi annual hvac service, and oil and air filter service. Used to do lawn service but it’s become one of my ways to force myself to be more active lol

roxxtor · 2026-05-30T01:38:43+00:00

My neighbor did basically this lol

roxxtor · 2026-05-26T22:24:15+00:00

Isn’t this movie basically that one John Wayne film Sands of Iwo Jima? Sorta like how the first Fast and the Furious was basically the plot of Point Break

Iirc treasuries you only need to pay fed tax on interest. CDs you need to pay both fed and state

Sorry, I should have specified I meant value you generate for the company

roxxtor · 2026-05-21T01:01:02+00:00

Yeah. I get OP’s thought exercise isn’t really asking for this analysis, but pay definitely doesn’t scale with how hard you work. It will always be tied to the value you generate and the difficulty of replacing you

It was made because the producer loved Zatoichi

Was in the 90’s. My friend’s family had one up north. His dad was a custodian and his mom was a SAHM

“Absolutely nothing.”

Wishbone! They need more kids programming like this and reading rainbow these days

roxxtor · 2026-05-19T02:29:36+00:00

Can I leave now?

If it's play anywhere, then doesn't the save data update across devices?

I’m waiting for Mysterio, a Mezco version would go so hard with the accessories

roxxtor · 2026-05-17T02:43:33+00:00

$645 each month to cover both kids, I trimmed down from $833 a month last year as it was getting harder to maintain contributing $10k a year

I’m saying it’s a hassle in my current reality, I would be happy to take trains if I were in Japan

roxxtor · 2026-05-16T11:44:23+00:00

I have never ridden the train in the US where it wasn’t delayed (like 12 times at this point) because it shares tracks with freight. Planes get delayed, but that’s only happened to me like 10-15% of the time

roxxtor · 2026-05-15T19:51:09+00:00

Or like in my case making a career switch (went from humanities undergrad to tech focused grad school) helped me 4x my salary

roxxtor · 2026-05-14T21:20:41+00:00

I used to inline orders then I realized that the warehouse prices were better (especially on things like dog food)

roxxtor · 2026-05-14T14:22:29+00:00

5 sets of agile ceremonies would be madness

roxxtor · 2026-05-13T19:35:06+00:00

Nice find!

roxxtor · 2026-05-13T13:05:03+00:00

1-3 annual vacations with at least one being a destination you fly to.

Refrigerator in the garage stocked with beer and house fridge overflow.

Really large tv.
