    One thing also contributing to a lot of the reported financial success here right now, in August 2025, is the comical success of the market. A lot of people here, who had been investing aggressively in the last 13 years, and especially in the last 5, made quite significant, almost unheard of...

    Soundhound is *probably* one of those companies that has a good, old fashioned software product that is leveraging AI somewhere on there own backend and is essentially lying that their product is AI. This is almost definitely the case with like 99% of these "AI" companies. These companies will...

    I don't go into the general thread/politics section of this forum almost ever, but is there actual crossover between the people posting here and the troglodytes that live in that section of the forum?

    As I understand it, truly wealthy people also borrow against these policies, technically borrowing your own "money", without triggering any tax events. I hear more and more about this practice lately especially with people who hold a lot of wealth in crypto.

    You're talking to me about watches after I mansplained golf and some of the most prestigious courses on earth to the class. Keep talking about watches after you research places like Maidstone.

    That's the "chip on the shoulder" mentality of people who haven't grown up around "old wealth". I honestly feel like the Texas boys and the Northeast boys have a leg up on everyone else simply because we grew up around it. At least if we decided to pay attention. All the "old money" in this...

    50k/month for "experience, travel and memories"? You do you but that's... excessive... and the kind of spend that ruins lives.

    The AI bubble is gonna be painful and it's gonna pop likely in the next 3-5 years but I'll probably be at the 50k/month number in ~8 years if the S&P follows historical trends and I can just keep my job. Of course, that's almost definitely not gonna happen and I also don't need it to. The funny...

    I live modestly, with no debt. In a house I bought for 245k in 2009. My property taxes are $9300/yr. My homeowners insurance is $2k/yr. The CPI is outrageous right now. Some of these things are more or less depending on where you live but pretending 16k/yr is fine anywhere in the US just shows...

    I'm not. He made a silly argument that ignores CAGR trying to compare lifestyles of someone with 1m vs 5m. Its a disingenuous stance.

    The amount of money someone who retires at 39 with 1m has when they turn 59, etc, etc, will be wildly different than someone who retires at 39 with 5m. So what that guy is saying.... is kind of silly and meaningless. Because the person who retires with 1m will never really fly private, but...

    The 1m and 5m net worth might not live all that differently when that is their net worth but 5m will grow way, way faster and 10 years later it will be vastly different (under "normal" circumstances)

    Oh and by the way, just to reiterate. He asked copilot to fix an exception handler. Based on an exception he saw occur once in Splunk logs. He saw an exception. And he decided to ask AI to fix any handlers that might catch that exception. This is our future.

    People from mid-higher castes in India have learned behaviors deeply engrained in them by society and their families. That's how most "bloodline" hierarchical systems are.
