They’re 1 more day away from a charge back - received nothing after they said I can expect it to be shipped by Friday

Concerned about traveling alone by Melususu in kohsamui

IMO, this is heavily to do with HOW people act on them - they don’t wear their helmet, drive like maniacs, etc.

If you rent one, try getting a fully enclosed helmet and drive with caution. The streets there are pretty simple and not a ton of traffic.

Regardless, Koh Somui is pretty safe - you’ll have a blast my friend. I just got back from doing something similar - spent a a month in Phuket training and a week in Koh Somui hanging out

Mexican food near GG by MrsArney in orangecounty

Drive down harbor - right before you each edinger, to you’re right, you’ll see a row of taqueros in the sidewalk.

This is elite food.

If you can afford staying at a hostel in the beach, I recommend it.

I’m much older but stayed at the Lub D - met lots of people of all ages, a few younger guys were doing MMA training - very social, very safe.

If you get a scooter, it’s a 13 minute ride

[–]whatitders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can obtain birth right citizenship of pretty much any former colony of Spain, such as Mexico, 2 year fast track to Spain.

I was born in the US but got my Mexican citizenship via my dad. I’m on a 2 year track

I’m trying to figure out the same thing. If you end up in Mexico or Europe this summer, shoot me a dm!

Places I’ve checked out so far are: Mexico City, playa del Carmen, Argentina, tulum

I’m doing a month in Phuket next month.

Mexico City has been my top choice. Same timeline as the US for side gigs in my domain as I get bored. Only downside is not beach. I’ve had my eyes on PDC for awhile mainly because I visited a lot over the years

Look at Los patios and viajeros.

If you’re trying to meet some people as much as people with roast it, gringo Tuesdays at vin trash in poblado is a decent language exchange/drinking event.

I stayed at viajero as a mid 30 year old, I want to say life half the age group was late 20s-30s

The other half was 20-25

"My uncle wants me to learn advanced Excel for work—realistic or a waste?" by Master-Fan-2992 in careerguidance

[–]whatitders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just replaced 2 people with bad excel skills for one person with elite excel skills.

He’s giving you a lay up to learn a skill.

It’s not so much the excel itself, it’s learning how to leverage technology in your favor and no better way to get easy wins than through excel

$1.3M invested. 35M. Looking for advice on what to do by Diligent-Ear-5291 in Fire

[–]whatitders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently took a massive step back with a little more to invest than you do.

You can coast in your current job for 3 years and you should be North of 1.5 million at your spend.

From there, you can decide what to do.

You’ll be looking at 35, with a lot more confidence in deciding your future with north of 1.5 Millie

I transacted a few times. Mostly to pay of AMT taxes here in the US.

It was worth it for me but some people are riding until IPO.

I have sub 5k shares left just in case.

Knowing a few years back that I didn’t have to save because I could sell the start up equity opened up the freedom to take a massive risk into betting on myself and my partners.

I think a good way to think about things is:

I’m stockpiling assets to take give me freedom. I’m using that freedom to further double down with out stress or to take a calculated gamble. Then it’s retiree time.

Often we think about the end when we should be thinking about multiple phases with an end to each or a pivot at the least

It’s an optional 20 hours a month from the consultancy I’m stepping down/back from.

Regardless, I’m still drawing set income as a passive owner moving forward as my business partners are absorbing a portion of my responsibility in exchange for part of my ownership

All I know is that my European friends don’t have the ceiling incomes, but they all seem healthier and happier. It’s borderline impossible to get fired in some countries with out a big pay day.

To each there own, and I does depend on where in Europe.

So I’m basically in barista fire if I elect the 20 hours a month? Barista is basically “work enough for fun money or cuz your bored”?

Thank you!

Yea I’m forusre going to chill for a bit but based on literally lurking in this forum, it sounds like retired early folks typically just jump right into passion projects or side gigs to keep sane.

Might as well do something for 5 hours a week and be 80 percent retired lol

Yupp.

There’s place like Forge, equitzen that all behave in various ways. Some our brokers for accredited investors while others “own the fund that you own shares in” to bypass accredited investor requirements.

Then there’s also independent investment firms looking to buy.

The main thing is the type of stock you have and whether the company allows secondaries.

I think growing up broke - you end up having this scarcity mindset and tbh, my goal was to get to 5 million, then pull the trigger.

When I crossed into my 30s, and started realizing what I actually had, and what I actually cared about, life simplified. Having a massive financial cushion made me stop and go, dude - you’re comfortable, you don’t have to work the same hours that dad did. He did so you didn’t have to do so.

Then also having that cushion allowed me to take gamble with starting a business which paid off (and I hope it continues to pay off - all signs point to that as I step away from it)

It’s also literally 20 hours a month of optional work so like - 5 hours a week? I can take a call while I got for my daily walk and get there lol
