    Agreed, though I think Toyotas are better than Hondas. Thus says the millionaire still driving his 2010 Toyota Camry

    Yea well you're cool with making $8/hr so $1000 in the bank is basically 6 months of cash isn't it?

    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...

    Also, why do you keep bringing up your acquaintances and what they have, make and spend? Who gives a shit? Live your own life.

    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.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    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.

    Oh hell yes bros. One of our software development team managers, who doesn't understand software at all, has begun "vibe coding". First order of business? Ask copilot about a null exception handler, let it "fix it", and create a PR directly to get pushed into main. This idiot doesn't have any...

    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.

    My outlook was always to try to be retired by 50. But it's looking more and more like I might be forced into early "retirement" much sooner. Debt has been paid off for years and the plan was to get the brokerage accounts to around 6.5 million and pick a good summer months area to live and a...
