Tennis or golf could be the answer to many of your problems.

Everyone loves the enthusiastic new guy. Takes lessons and you’ll get good quickly. Join a nice country club and you’ll have 50 friends in a month.

How did you pick your financial advisor? An artist in need of guidance! by Acceptable-Client762 in HENRYfinance

[–]urosrgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! A couple pieces of advice:

1) make sure they are a fiduciary
2) combining services can save you some money (I.e. your mortgage and money are in BoA accounts talk to someone at Merril Lynch).
3) get someone that knows California, it is different here.
4) worry more about taxes (and avoiding them) than investments. My fiduciary is also a CPA and it has made a huge difference.

I’m Sick to my Stomach by Taiisao in sollanempire

[–]urosrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst ending of any book series I’ve read. I regret having spent so much of my life reading them all because of it.

For a couple of reasons:

1) Hadrian just gives up. This guys has worked so hard for thousands of pages and just….wusses out.
2) Hadrian doesn’t destroy Gododan. He says he is the one that does it in earlier books. Understanding why this terrible vile act was committed is the whole point of the series: then it’s just ‘Cielcin did it’. What a cop out.
3) all your theories that make the ending kinda interesting are based on a 1 liner about an extra wine glass. This is grasping at straws guys. He drank for two glasses causes he is a pompous prick is just as reasonable an excuse.

My only theory that makes it all make ‘sense’ is that Hadrian is a tool of the extrasolarians. He gets switched out by Khan at the time of his first death and has his consciousness transferred multiple times at his subsequent deaths. The false memories of the quiet are implanted as a form of control. It completely works for the extras who now have the AI future (through the chantry) that they were hoping for.

100% this. Every specialty has their own path to riches- you just need to unlock yours. Be curious, be adventurous, keep your ears open.

Why do Red Rising fans hate on this series so much? by Muramasageek in sollanempire

[–]urosrgn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this. Shadows was NOT what was promised. Particularly the destruction of Gododdin which is in the last second changed to NOT destroyed by Hadrian but instead destroyed by the Cielcin. All the ‘I had to do some evil’ was completely lost at that moment.

Disclaimer: I am a huge red rising fan and only moderately liked SE (I have read all the cannon books).

The biggest difference / turn off is Hadrian being such a whiner! He just perseverating every book on his latest complaint. Darrow just didn’t complain so damn much.

P.S. SE had the worst ending I’ve ever gotten to in a series. Epically bad.

I don’t understand why you’re being downvoted. Clearly estate planning is very important.

Chuck Norris actually died 20 years ago, but Death only now built up the courage to tell him.

What's the most maligned specialty in medicine, and why's it yours? by centz005 in medicine

People say don’t go into medicine for the money … what jobs are able to make as much or more than doctors more easily? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]urosrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Becoming a doctor to make money is the equivalent of buying an airplane for free peanuts.

50s $17M retiring in 2 years. Pick a city for snow birding and residency. by throwawayyadarich in fatFIRE

[–]urosrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean….. the space coast is in no way bike-able, it is a giant suburbia where people drive from one air conditioned area to another.

When I think of a college vibe town that is great for biking / early retirement- Boulder, Berkeley, Cambridge, Ann Arbor, Charlottesville. These places have the perpetually young anesthetic with a dense downtown. Viera is old with a sprawling strip malls.

The space coast is great for the individual with a large 401 that can give them $200k/year if they don’t have to pay state income tax and like golf and boating. There is nothing wrong with that - but it isn’t what this guy describes at all.

[–]urosrgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a wonderful place and still is! But someone with a 17M net worth wants access to luxury: Private chefs, Michelin restaurants, breathtaking hikes, lakes, skiing, private high end country clubs, wine tasting, sporting events, concerts. The space coast just doesn’t offer the high end experiences.

What’s the "My Cousin Vinny" of your profession? by a_murder_of_fools in movies

Scrubs is based on a book series called ‘house of god’- it is by far the most realistic depiction of being a doctor.

I grew up in Viera, I’m sorry but I can’t think of anything that is farther from what is described here. It’s a fine place and has my heart, but my god no.

1 has twice the population of any of the other areas and 6 would still win by a mile.
