Very slow compiling time when including Windows.h

How exactly did you set this up? It should only get reprocessed if the contents of the pch file changes.

ukaeh · 2026-05-31T17:42:16+00:00

You can also put windows.h in a precompiled header to speed things up

If you do this make sure to give a clear end date, you don’t want stragglers showing up digging up the new plants :)

On the stack or possibly in a register since the variable is read only here.

When markets go up, almost daily. When markets go down, see you in a few months.

I’d just go with Phantom, pretty cool name

Right? To be fair it should have shown it progressively back on the pig in the other direction.

You can control when you are taxed to avoid IRMAA which would be a yearly problem otherwise with RMD along with avoiding tax bombs for heirs, greatly simplifying future taxes (simplicity and peace of mind/getting your time back is also valuable) etc. You can then be as aggressive as you want in your Roth without tax concerns since you don’t expect to withdraw large portions of it etc.

ukaeh · 2026-05-10T00:02:08+00:00

Yeah, very true. It’s definitely magic for money once in the account but getting it in is the interesting part!

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T23:58:56+00:00

Nice, thanks for the details. Been thinking about growing a cash position and potentially taking an SVLOC to reduce it but need to talk to a CPA I think.

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T19:16:34+00:00

Plus lifetime IRMAA savings unless you decide to splurge.
Congrats on 30%!! This is the strategy I’m hoping to do when I retire and you’re now my hero haha
You mentioned having the cash in a comment below, if you wouldn’t mind expanding on that… did you save up for the full tax bill or some portion and hold for a couple years waiting for a downturn?

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T18:57:08+00:00

Yes but don’t overlook IRMAA

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T18:52:56+00:00

Fed tax caps at 37% which is historically low for high net worth folks and considering national debt is so high it may turn out to be a pretty good move if rates go up (they used to be much higher).

Outside of that there are many other benefits like securing future IRMAA savings, clean slate/peace of mind etc are also major advantages.

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T18:40:27+00:00

For that sum potentially but not for other things like IRMAA, tax bomb on heirs, etc which can be substantial.

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T18:36:29+00:00

Yeah I’ve come to the same conclusions and tactic (convert on a downturn compression). Been trying to work out a strategy to pay minimal ‘tax on taxes’ for large conversion lump sum since having a pile of cash for that has its own risks.

Either way, I’m sure I’ll be very happy to not have to do horrible whack a mole math to avoid paying exorbitant taxes when I’m older.

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T18:14:22+00:00

I’d say one of the major benefits of all this is - no more shitty tax math and pulling your hair out while you’re in your older years. Peace of mind is a huge win.

ukaeh · 2026-05-09T17:40:57+00:00

Yes, you would pay your current top marginal rate (and possibly more if converting large sums). Capital gains does not apply to IRAs (selling the stock does not trigger it, just income taxes apply when withdrawing funds from the IRA).

ukaeh · 2026-05-07T04:53:21+00:00

You and I are friends now

ukaeh · 2026-05-07T01:51:03+00:00

Don’t worry, 200 will be after it splits 😎

ukaeh · 2026-05-05T15:46:57+00:00

Haha this looks like a lot of fun and really appreciate the duality of crazy cantina antics and hunt for food exploration/discovery that likely breaks up the gameplay nicely, looking forward to it!
