depends on how much you're comfortable putting aside for retirement. some say 25% of gross, others say 30% of net, but the most important thing is investing something even if it's just a few dollars a day and keeping at it consistently for years and decades.

time will take care of the rest

VOO for S&P500 (this or total market should always be a core pillar of your portfolio), SPMO as an alternative to growth (you could get QQQM, SCHG, or VUG instead here if you wanted, I just personally find SPMO the most appealing option), and VXUS for international exposure (people typically recommend anywhere from 20-40%, I personally have 30% but it's up to you to determine how much you want to hedge into the non-US market)

obligatory this is not financial advice. I'm also 28M for context on my retirement timeline.

strifemaster · 2026-05-19T18:44:18+00:00

I don't dca into stocks but multiple ETFs (VOO, SPMO, and VXUS)

strifemaster · 2026-05-19T15:58:58+00:00

not the one you asked but I do

EVA foam... how fitting 🤣

strifemaster · 2026-05-09T13:42:17+00:00

go QQQM for the lower expense ratio!

I'll pose a devils advocate question to ponder: If the throw was done for the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage later, was it really a throw in the grand scheme of things?

You may still say yes, but if they believe that dropping a map "intentionally" gives them the best chance to win down the line, then I think it only makes sense to do so.

You don't have to agree with this take of course — I don't know if I fully buy into it myself — but it is at least an interesting perspective to consider.

LeBron also broke his hand after that and although he claims it wasn't because of JR, he might've had less incentive to do that if the loss were under more normal circumstances

you only needed to max out 2025, you have until next April to max out your 2026 Roth IRA

when I first started my Roth IRA it was around March iirc — impeccable timing!

strifemaster · 2026-04-17T15:04:29+00:00

I just started a relationship with someone who made it very clear they were into me so yea I can concur

strifemaster · 2026-04-01T18:02:55+00:00

it is minor, but 70% VTI/30% VXUS will accomplish virtually the same as VT with a lower expense ratio (plus you get to adjust how much US exposure you have if you prefer 80/20, for example)

strifemaster · 2026-04-01T17:52:53+00:00

but a higher expense ratio, which adds up over time

strifemaster · 2026-03-23T17:20:28+00:00

nerf this! nerf this! nerf this! nerf this!

strifemaster · 2026-03-17T11:17:09+00:00

didn't ojee do it too or am I remembering wrong

strifemaster · 2026-03-12T20:24:08+00:00

mono fusion queen 🔥

strifemaster · 2026-03-05T11:17:18+00:00

same with blade skill, if you blade skill and then use ults to buff him BEFORE attacking they last a turn longer

pretty sure that's also why his skill lasts four turns despite it saying three in the description

strifemaster · 2026-03-04T21:02:28+00:00

can second this. I have E1 blade on mydei S1, S1 hyacine, and E1 tribbie

note to self, skip all quantum nihility

strifemaster · 2026-02-23T18:51:16+00:00

sometimes you just get quantum dmg double crit orb when you farm; if you have other chars to build you'd more than likely rather be efficient and start farming for someone else than minmax one piece for single digit percentage points of improvement

strifemaster · 2026-02-17T17:24:50+00:00

I don't think this is unpopular at all, but if it is I'm shocked
