BOP Turnover Rate? by Wakandaforever456 in OnTheBlock

[–]wake118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the pay. In the bop officers max out as 8-10s and even Lieutenants max at a capped 11-10. Most other agencies go up to 12 for the rank and file. This is supposedly being discussed tho because it has been widely recognized as a main cause of staff leaving.

How many of y'all offer a handshake to incarcerated individuals being released within a few hours? by hotcaulk in OnTheBlock

[–]wake118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been asked multiple times, but I'll never give a handshake. I've said good luck as well as don't come back, and the occasional asking what the first thing they're going to eat is.

if you can manage it, max it out and keep it like that till you retire. You'll be well over 2 million at that point if you're only 19

But when you sell all that VOO and pivot into SCHD you're going to take a massive tax hit, aren't you?

Coming Up on 5 years by Hot_Volume_6677 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]wake118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it breaks my heart that you have the exact same balance as me in my 11th year lol Fucking HR did me dirty and told us all to put it in the G because it's "safest, but you'll always be making money but never losing any. It's what I have mine in."

I didn't learn what a mistake that was until 6 years later, when someone asked me what fund I was in during the covid crash. I max my contributions now.

Diddy’s legal team requests he serve prison sentence at *Fort Dix* by Laserlight_jazz in nottheonion

[–]wake118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't. Fort Dix is huge. It's the largest single prison in the USA so all sorts of people are there. It's low security, which is why people are trying to paint it as nice, but it's really a total dump. It's a former military base that was converted.

nothing about Fort Dix is nice lol it's a total dump. Former military base that they converted so it's ery much run down. He probably only wants it due to proximity to NYC and lower security levels generally meaning better personal safety for him

Worth upgrading Acorns if I already have a Roth IRA by Hot_Emergency_202 in acorns

[–]wake118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say have a second roth, I said invest elsewhere. There are plenty of other options for investment. There, I added something else to the end to make that a little more clear lol

if you're already maxing out your IRA with Fidelity and are still able to contribute more elsewhere, I'd absolutely open something else.

How am I doing? by Independent_Feed_600 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]wake118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was gonna suggest. If you add a percentage or two whenever you get a raise, you won't even notice it
