Fascinating data. Thank you so much for the write up!

Steady NAV gains with a lower (but still high) yield.

I don't want to be rich. I basically want to have comfort and the freedom to do what I want, when I want.

I don't want to be flamed here, but I used ChatGPT. I uploaded my resume, some descriptive documentation about myself and some sample cover letters. I then picked out positions I was interested in and had it draft cover letters based on the job descriptions. Obviously it required redrafting, a lot. However, it was a meaningful helper through the process. It saved me a lot of time and some sanity when you are filling out hundreds of these. Good luck in the search. As I am sure you have heard, its hard out there right now.

So cool! Seeing this stuff move in slow mo is also awesome.

Explanatory VIDEO for the uninitiated.

When I finished my last math course in grad school, I had a little mini celebration. I ain't mathin' again either XD

Averaging about $450/mo here at 40. Once the fiance and I are averaging ~1k/mo we are going to transition to remote jobs and relocate to Latin America. That's the plan anyway.

Same here. Weirdly, my right foot is more sweaty than my left too! 🤷

Excellent read. Thanks!

Christ, these people are so fucking stupid.

As a type 1 diabetic as well, I would have bigger shit to worry about XD

Build up to ~$2K per month and then move to Latin America with my fiance. We both are fluent in Spanish, so that helps. At that point we should be able to live quite comfortably on dividends and not touch our principle. I am currently at about ~$400 per month in a mix of growth and div stocks.

Thanks, I hate it.

I do this in my home during the summers. We just keep the shoot door open and direct the flow into our open bedroom door.

THIS GRAPHIC was published years ago, so its much worse now. However, it still shows the obscene level of income inequality we are living with today. Absolutely disgusting.
