Yep.

So that was weird. We just got down to Florida from California. We've been here for all of about 2 hours and went to look at a house to rent. By the time we got there it was already taken, so we went to Publix. We're in the produce section and this woman walks by, wearing a mask, and I said to...

Bitcoin has no chance of replacing any fiat, you're out of your fucking mind. What, you think people with actual money are just going to be like, "oh well, I wasn't an early adopter, I guess all those crypto guys will just be the rich from now on!" There's literally nothing bitcoin has that...

Maybe crypto crash will soften the blow to normal equities since all the dumb money is going there.

That looks exactly like the hundreds of pages of nonsense with GME on WSB. That's what happens when you're investing in something based on hype and not any actual rational reason.

Maybe this week will be the start of a 10% correction. Seems way overdue, but with the weird ass covid v downturn/recovery, I don't know what to make of anything lately.

Pretty much the same situation we're in. The big problems I see being the real estate market surely has to come crashing down in the next year or two, and we don't know what the areas looks like in 30 years.

I wasn't willing to work until MRA just for healthcare. That'd be another 20 years, by which time I'd have way, way too much money. Our van life adventure is almost over. We're visiting my wife's family this week and heading down to Florida shortly. We actually had a revelation over the last...

Seems like this should be your shoe shine boy moment to signal your exit.

Mentioned previously that I found Mr. Money Mustache many years ago, and then a few weeks ago after we left California that we hit a major milestone (as we became "homeless," living in our van). Between selling our house, which hopefully closes in the next couple weeks, and the recent market...

It wasn't until watching this review that I realized I've apparently merged Event Horizon and Sphere in my head as a singular movie. And I'm not sure which one I liked. Maybe it was both? I should revisit Frighteners. I remember we snuck into it back in the day, but all my friends wanted to...

Didn't you say you thought it'd get to 4200-4300 before the pullback though? I will say I've enjoyed it going up over the last few weeks as we've been traveling. I'm unemployed but been making more just going to national parks than I would have working. Kind of makes for a hard mental barrier...

No suggestions from me, but we're on the Texas/New Mexico border right now and struggling to figure out what to do in Texas. It's a massive state so I feel like there has to be something, but searching the internet makes it seem like a bunch of shit I don't care about. I will say the parks...

This time actually is kind of different though. First, the 30 year bond bubble ended. With interest rates also at historic lows, that means all the money flows into the markets. Even more on top is that the rest of the world economy is even worse with many places having negative interest rates...

On the plus side, they'd be less likely to completely fuck up your returns. I mean, outside of the fee.

We just pretending anything prior to 2020 didn't exist? Gas prices were lower in 2019, so obviously it's not just "people driving again."

Maybe musicians should do less drugs?

Necroing this thread since it's the first that came up with Sedona in the title. We'll be there tomorrow for an indeterminate amount of days. Just wondering if anyone had hike recommendations (doubtful anyone posts before tomorrow morning, but worth a shot). Also hilarious you called it Negro...

Yeah, Tuvala is season only. But they just introduced Narchillan, so trade it in for that.

We hit a major milestone today, but at the same time we're also homeless. Although it's a purposeful homeless as we're living in our van as we national park it across the country. Just a strange contrast. My wife is talking to some older retired lady right now who is driving around the country...

Guess I was a day early. Apparently we'll start April off on a high note then. April is typically one of the best performing months, so we could be on that rocket ship time!

Wonder if the S&P will crack 4k by the end of today to close out March? It's getting awfully close.

Weird, because the dragons episode is one of my least favorite. But I also find interdimensional cable to be retarded. Probably something related there where I just don't find much humor in completely ridiculous shit for the sake of being ridiculous.

I forgot this show existed. Hopefully there are more than 2 funny episodes.

Mine was also 20 something. It's not a super grindy game.

I think I may have read something at some point that their customer service people have to have some kind of financial certification and/or background, just due to the stuff that comes up. Not sure if that's true or not, but it could explain the shared experience of good customer service at...

I know you all are big fans of Fidelity, but I just felt like I had to post about Vanguard. This is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever had to call them, and holy shit the level of customer service is just amazing. Maybe it'd be the same with any financial firm with the amount of assets we...

Think the problem is you have to make it your primary residence for 2 years. That's a long time to live in an investment property.

PLTR continues to slide. Almost bought some more around $22 last week, now I'm glad I held out.

Chalk up another one where I had hope but Netflix fucked it up. Not sure why I bother anymore. Watched The Last Blockbuster. Summary: A 10-15 minute "documentary" stretched out to 90 minutes by bullshit. What a gigantic failure.

This is cope. No one really likes the cold. You lie to yourself that you like seasons and shit, but the reality is you likely live where you do because of family or career.

My total market index funds win again!

You sure you were on a Season server? I've made that mistake. They won't drop on normal ones.

Well that's disappointing. Was really looking forward to using another season to propel me further.

I mean, ignore price for a second, we're getting inflation at some point. You've locked in one of the best hedges against inflation there is. That counts for something.

Ugh, so I did our taxes today, and it looks like we completely blew past the traditional IRA phase out. I figured there was a big chance we'd be in the phase out, but we overshot it. Has anyone done an IRA recharacterization before? Our IRA's are with Vanguard. Wondering if it's something...

Which is why I say it's going to cheapen the award in general. When Sacha Baron Cohen wins an Oscar (or possibly even 2 this year), it makes every other one look ridiculous.

Went through the whole thing, and it's actually got 2 nominations. Supporting actress and screenplay (seriously). Only movies I've seen are Promising Young Woman and Soul. Any wins this year will cheapen every other Oscar ever awarded.

Not just seen, I haven't even heard of most of them. Says a lot about where we are right now that Borat has a nomination though.

It may be that sellers haven't yet caught onto the fact that interest rates are rising and so their houses are now overpriced. But then that goes back to Lachius's point that he may have bought at a high. Who the fuck knows? Then again, that article also states that actual homes for sale...
