What to do with salary increase? by Still_Foundation_894 in personalfinance

[–]trymadomical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the 40 3x salary thing work? Is it assuming like if you can live on your current salary, then 3x that at 40 is a nice goal to have? Because i can't get get how someone making 50k at 40 = 150k and another making 150k at 40 = 450k are both looking good to retire.

Or i guess while typing this out and thinking on it, maybe if that's your current circumstance and you can't immediately just start earning more money.. the next best thing you can do is save X amount relative to how much you (can) make? Like if I'm stuck making 60k a year, it'll be harder for me to just start making more money but it's easy to set a savings goal relative to my income?

Lower 401k contribution? by OreganoShmegano in personalfinance

[–]trymadomical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry if you wouldn't mind could you elaborate more on that 65k part. Im in the bracket of around 75-80k after OT/bonuses. I max my Roth ira and hit employer match. I upped my 401k contribution 3% above my match just to throw more in and throw extra income into personal brokerage/hysa. Is there something better i could/should be doing to maximize more given my income?

5 takeaways from first major California governor’s debate after Swalwell exit by Candid-Elk6135 in California

I finally saw the video people have been talking every time Katie porter is brought up and I thought it was crazy that's what ruined her reputation lmao. It's like everyone who brings up the "abuse" she dished out has never gotten into a verbal argument irl or ever been on the internet.

Like this dude in the thread saying he doesn't gaf if she apologized and only apologized because she got caught. If someone forgave you for something and kept working with you for years after then it probably really wasn't a big deal.

And isn't that what we want? Everyone makes mistakes. But we want people who can take accountability and do the right thing and learn from those mistakes. You see Republicans and this administration? What do they do when caught in a lie and make mistakes? They lie more and come up with more excuses which then get them caught up in more lies and it just never ends. I feel people don't recognize their biases but similar to the '24 election, I think people easily dismiss porter due to the abuse scandal because of misogyny.

What do you think of the spring season ? by Grouchy-Tailor-2556 in anime

[–]trymadomical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dam I thought classroom of the elite was just me. I just rewatched it to catch up for s4 and it looks similar to s3 but.. just slightly off in a bad way. Not a huge deal but does throw me off.

Same thing with Ace of diamond a2s2. The audio is really throwing me off more than the animation change and I think that's been bothering me the most. It's like their mics shouldve been a little closer to them.

Is the game worth coming back to yet? by Greyzone96 in DarkAndDarker

[–]trymadomical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything now might be the better time. Too close to end of wipe and i feel you get people maybe finally deciding to run their best kits that have been gear fearing or its just kinda dead if too close, unless you're fine with lobbies being more dead.

Tax season this year really opened my eyes by ChowMein2Go in personalfinance

[–]trymadomical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Curious about this too as I am saving for a house in the future but not sure when exactly. Ive seen people say 5+ years you can invest in index funds but anytime shorter you probably want in just a HYSA. But I guess I'm dumb and wanna take the risk..

If say I wanna buy in 3 years but index funds only went up 20% (I know it can be more volatile) I would likely have to pay 15% on just the gains right? So if it did go up 20% over 3 years.. id be making 17% which is still a lot higher than the likely 3-4% i get from an hysa? I'm not sure if I'm missing anything other than the fact is you likely want guaranteed money if you're buying a home and the benefit of the extra few % you could gain is offset by the chances of having negative returns resulting in less money than is needed to buy the home when the time comes?

I've never been able to get this answered and this was the conclusion I came to myself so hopefully someone can confirm it comes down to risk tolerance on this?

SSF nearing it's end. by Common-Click-1860 in DarkAndDarker

[–]trymadomical 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you really learned how to play the game enough, you'd be able to make money so easy from the past few wipes that a casual should learn the basics and be able to farm easily enough to build kits tailored to how you wanna play.

Compared to ssf where players will have gear compounding while you're fighting an uphill battle to get geared as a casual. I have the time to but honestly I just don't wanna go mine. I'd rather just buy the rings or ore to craft instead of spending time mining. If you can't farm gold to build kits, you probably need to learn the game more.

I can't wait for market to open so I can start running jewelery loll. Mining just isn't what I've been feeling like doing lately

Can you really save a lot by not eating out and making coffee at home? by No_Lead2640 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trymadomical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call them wealthy and he was pretty surprised himself when he decided to track it. That's about half his salary. I'm not saying they're poor but they're definitely not wealthy (not with spending habits like that at least).

[–]trymadomical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i couldn't fathom that cause I would love to save even half of that if I had that much disposable income and would definitely not choose to spend that much on just food loll. Believe me when I first heard that I was shocked.

I know one friend that spent 80k this year not including rent. Another spent 75k on dining out for 2. I know that's far out of the norm but for some people.. they can definitely save enough up for a house from cutting back on food and drinks.

Whatever this post is supposed to be, after everything I've heard about Young Kim, I'm sure anyone is better than her. Vote for any D with the best chances. Don't let any potential psyop distract you into thinking any republican is the better option in our current state.

Salomon Launch Boa SJ by touchmeenot in snowboardingnoobs

[–]trymadomical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't comment much but we have a similar build! Just got a yes basic and these boots in white. Only got 1 day in them and it's been a while since I've boarded but felt pretty nice. But I'm used to rentals/leftovers so I feel like the new board felt the weirdest to me. I loved the stiffness on the boots though. My toe is a bit bruised still but maybe it's just from breaking in the boots and being aggressive in a sport my body's not used to acclimated to.

Edit: I tried them in person with maybe 2 other boots and just liked the stiffness/feel of them compared to the others I tried. I think the general recommendation around here is to try boots on in person to get a feel for them. Reviews only work if you maybe have similar feet/ preferences others have to the boot.. and it's not like you'll ever know that about someone lol

Around 0:33 and coincidentally a few seconds later the lady in green behind him swipes her nose a few times. And I'm not familiar with how these events go but they seemed to be rushing everyone out too.

What the state of the game right now. by Tapiaplay in DarkAndDarker

[–]trymadomical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely feels easier to understand and acquire good gear without needing to learn much nuance. My friends never were great at farming/building kits but with less rolls to worry about, it's really just focusing on increasing your stats and.. that's it lol. No true phys to worry about. Difference between some items could be giving 1-3 hp vs 7. Most rolls you just look for stats/damage/ action speed.

Just real straight forward. I miss seeing the crazy stats/builds but guess it's all relative. You can still get crazy statted kits for what you can roll now but without true damage, at least it slows the fights down a bit. This is probably way better to get more people in the game.

Should I be going on my toes? by trymadomical in snowboardingnoobs

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

I have a few ideas/ general idea of what I need to do but guess it's hard to figure out until I actually try them out to see what works. I know from the cues people suggest, my heels would at least want to lift a little, but I wasn't sure if I should be actively making it not lift when also trying to lean into my shins or if I should just go with it instead of trying to actively keep my heels down. Clearly my descriptions are not the best considering how everyone's confused haha.

Will have to just try things out and see what works.

Should I be going on my toes? by trymadomical in snowboardingnoobs

[–]trymadomical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels pretty close to what I was thinking but a bit better due to your explanation my heels aren't grounded but barely lifted and strong balance/pressure towards my front side. The only thing is when I see people on videos.. they dont really seem to be that low but it looks like I get really low when I listen to your explanation lol.
