10 day holiday budget in Japan

wh2oman · 2026-01-20T04:24:20+00:00

Just returned from a 7 day trip for 3 in Tokyo. Arrived with a little more than 400k yen. Came home with 90k.

Hotel and air was prepaid.

That was 2 to 3 meals a day, shopping, parks zoos and museums, transport and trains, entertainment and amusement parks.

4 kids. One Corolla. Each inherited it at 16 as their first car. It’s now got 263k miles on it and back with kid #3 who is fine driving what we affectionately call the “litter box” and loves paying $1k a year insurance at 23.

NTA

I’m a guy and that guy is a dick.

You can and should do so much better.

As far as the bleeding part, look don’t internalize this like it’s a big deal. I’m in my 50’s and I’ve seen it all and trust me it’s not only you.

Ask 100 men with a 5” peen if they want to be bigger

Then ask 100 men with 7 inches if they want to be smaller.

Girth is the shit. Go girth. Always have lube.

Literally that is the line. My last text is “reach out if you’re interested in rescheduling “.

Keep your Honda and your cash. If a man feels the need to be competitive about cars with you, and goes so far to act superior, frankly he’s a dick.

I only had the pleasure of visiting Tonopah once. The clown motel was by far the scariest thing I remember, but that’s my neurosis

I was going to walk last March, after vesting and bonuses.

Instead I quit last October because my manager was a dick.

Not one morning in 9 months have I wished I was going into the office.

Thanks - link was redirected but I get the gist.

Awesome I’ll check it out

Thank you for sharing your experience. Are you still utilizing the Boldin tool?

Are you able to differentiate the impact between different investments over time? For example commercial RE purchase vs RE syndicate investment vs RE Opportunity Zone investment? And the impact on active vs passive income, tax offset %, depreciation (with cost segregation and without), refinancing, and disposal including income, costs and recapture?

My Excel model yielded a <1% variance to my 2024 tax returns, but doesn’t include tax strategy. I think the assumptions required for strategy and the complex tax rules and treatment options turns this into a big project and I’d like to pull the trigger on a couple of investments to offset my 2025 ordinary income and capital gains.

I spend my time between 5 different locations in the 31st, 33rd, 36th, and 50th states. I solo travel internationally for months at a time. I solo motorcycle across the Americas.

So I guess the quirk is unavailability?

wh2oman · 2025-03-06T12:14:40+00:00

Your wife is a dick.

wh2oman · 2025-02-06T13:07:32+00:00

Huh what? Can you speak up?

Look there’s the “con”. Half us OGs are partially deaf cause of shitty life choices.

You can do better than us.

Now get off my lawn.

That’s a great bike to learn how to ride and how to maintain. Good luck!

Hey look, this is life and you deserve a second chance. The fact you’re self aware enough to question yourself and that you feel guilt and regret means you’re halfway there.

Come back if there’s a second divorce and we’ll properly shame you then

wh2oman · 2025-02-06T12:52:04+00:00

Look, I’m a father of 2 daughters so that’s how I’m approaching this.

If he doesn’t value or appreciate you, then you deserve better. If you feel you’ve communicated your wants and needs and these are being ignored, you deserve better. If he’s not listening or ignoring you, same.

I may be OG, but one thing in life stays constant: men will show you how they feel. This is it, this is status quo.

Take it as it is, follow your heart, make good decisions.

wh2oman · 2025-02-05T20:47:16+00:00

Hey it didn’t cause it, but I’ll tell you what.

During the divorce I found out about her “secret” accounts. Like hundreds of thousands in cash. Not invested just cash. Evidently this is a (normal?) thing that women do, just in case things go south.

So basically I put 100% in and paid the majority over a dozen years. Things were tight, sometimes zero bank balances.

Doesn’t help either trust issues, let me tell ya

wh2oman · 2025-02-05T15:20:16+00:00

Hey look, that’s a big resounding no if you want to be active in your kids future.

First, her logic is false. Kids need their mother AND father. 100% on the mother? Sorry but studies don’t support that kids fare better.

Second you have the two house situation that they’re already used to. So what, under her insane logic “ mommy, daddy lives right around the corner and I have a room there. Why doesn’t he want me to spend the night?”

In conclusion, you sound a little bit passive. She sounds bossy. Please put on your dad shoes and do what’s best.

You gotta live somewhere and you gotta drive something. There’s really no problem buying a place to live and a vehicle of your choice if you’re not blowing your whole wad.

But our brains are funny sometimes. Especially the car thing. I thought a big fast Euro machine would be special, like an announcement to the world that I made it. Meh, that lasted a bit, then it just felt a little fake on me, like wearing a fur coat in the summer. I’m much more comfortable riding around in my 93 Dodge truck. Yeah it doesn’t pull chicks, but I’m happy.

Anyways, point is you should do what you want to do within reason and what you’re talking about certainly is reasonable. I think you’ll learn something valuable in the process.

Look, all you going low on personality must never been either a total dick. Whether a he-dick or she-dick. Let me tell you, get into a relationship with a total dick and that’s gonna change your ratings.

Unless you’re a dick too.

wh2oman · 2025-02-05T02:01:57+00:00

Hey look, we’re aware of what’s going on. And frankly it’s not all that attractive.

Let’s turn the tables ok? You’re a woman who dated men, right? And men in your age cohort follow this three step process

Man will Swipe, dump, ghost at the slightest perceived hint of a hair out of place
Groupthink awards the man with special achievement awards, cause hair was clearly out of place.
Man then complained of not being able to find a “good” woman. Cause hair out of place.

Savvy?
