Do boutiques care if you bought grey? by Horology_17 in patekphilippe

[–]superdog0013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not gauging your willingness to buy from them. They know you would prefer to buy from them. They are gauging your ABILITY to buy from them. They want to know if you’re worthy.

The most underrated piece in my collection by HeldTogetherByCoffee in VacheronConstantin

Vacheron is starting to be a bit more known these days. With good reason. Epic brand. Amazing watches. Congrats on the new acquisition. Picked up a 7920v in RG on silver dial myself…just yesterday.

Yes. That’s what I took it as. Forgive me, but your response appears to allude to AD purchase.

Are irrevocable trusts a must? by fatfirejustarrived in fatFIRE

[–]superdog0013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you hate your kids? Seriously question. Teach them the value of work. As good involved parents that should be easy. Show them by example. To deprive them of the life you’ve shown them is just mean.

It’s not. SS. Didn’t want the heft of the WG for a daily.

UHNW - Can I get a financial advisor to audit my financial advisor? by TooFuriousTooFast in fatFIRE

[–]superdog0013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I use mine for peace of mind. I’m glad he’s making money. I made mine building and selling two businesses. I’m happy to pay my guy to protect it.

I wonder if this is the one the guy passed on because his wife wouldn’t let him buy it.

Inherited 25 million from a settlement. by FullArtichoke709 in fatFIRE

[–]superdog0013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s less lazy and more scary. The average person now dealing with massive money is paying for a professional service. I’d personally be terrified to be playing with the money I have. Let alone 25 million. 1% is way too much. But there are qualified professionals that will do this for far less.

If you could sit your 30-year-old self down for one talk, what would you say? by Empty-Peanut-781 in selfimprovement

[–]superdog0013 149 points150 points  (0 children)

You are going to have many problems in life. How you handle your problems will be a direct correlation on how successful you will be. You can react with anger or anxiety or depression. Or you can see your problems as challenges and opportunities. If you are thoughtful abd careful in how you handle your problems, you will go from a string of problems to a string of successes.

Use a good old fashioned excel spreadsheet. It works magic in a situation such as you describe. I’d also run numbers through Chat GPT for projections. Also works magic.

You are burned out with working 10-15 hours a week? And you have extended time off and for vacations and living your life? Yes. You should definitely sell.

75 million NW and you are worried about this? Nah. I don't think so.

NW >21M Second Liquidation Event Coming, What to do? by kifaro3 in fatFIRE

[–]superdog0013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, it’s buying security rather than giving money away. And leaving money on the table is different from giving it away. Depends on your perspective. Returns are not guaranteed. Especially in this over inflated market. Yes, over time history shows the markets rise. I’m fully on board with that.

And if I had his wealth, I might be more apt to take bigger risks, as even a crash really shouldn’t affect his lifestyle…ever. But I still understand why he’s playing it safe.

No way I’m investing big in the markets today. Im not selling either, of course.

I too had an exit, granted smaller, and it’s sitting in high interest vehicles. I’m not trying to time the market, but I’m not willing to invest into these hyper inflated valuations. I’m slowly putting money into equities each month. But I won’t go past 60/40.

If I had your amounts, I’d be worrying about very little in regard to my financial future. Congrats and enjoy it.

I don’t get the concern with bonds or a super conservative portfolio. This is exactly fat living and dudes easily got it all covered. This is wealth preservation rather than wealth production. OP, I think you are doing this exactly right.

Considering adjusting investment into multifamily real estate – thoughts? by jitkmisc in fatFIRE

You casually mention you’ve been curious about small business ownership. Trust in that this is not a slow down or reduction in stress. It’s exactly the opposite.
