    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    there isn't one :) we represented ourselves in the divorce, to which the judge pushed back on at the start. given our incomes were w/in 1-2% of each other, and we were willing to split equity even, and agreed to 50/50 custody, we didn't see a reason to get lawyers. there's "some shit"...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    it's the reverse my X has been unemployed for about a year. She was employed for about 18 months after our divorce. my concern is that eventually she run out of whatever $$ she has, probably cashed in her 401k. if she does decide to go to court and ask to start getting child support...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    hypothetically lets say 2 get a divorce, they have 2 elementary aged kids. at the time of divorce, they have very similar paying jobs. so they split equity 50/50 and custody 50/50. things are fine for a few years. then lets say one of them loses their job and decides not to get a new one...

    I think it's still saving to buy a home if you need one. Prices are crazy high, that's mostly due to interest rates. if you intend to get a mortgage, you're total out of pocket at the end of the loan is likely less than if you bought a year or 2 ago. i hope to have this year's Roth IRA fully...

    Base defending in Rust has to be the most fun in game ive ever had. Once in legacy, just after it moved from browser, me and my friend defended vs 5 or 6 guys. I jumped out behind and walled them in. This was way before ladders, so they were trapped. Some used their c4 to blow out, other...

    I'm psyched for Wandavision. Vision is a huge character, we know he's coming back, hope they do it well. And I don't get why more people aren't behind this. The better this does, the higher change she takes over as lead superhero in heels from CM. I thought her acting and charcter were...

    my 401k is over 10x my roth ira (learned about the latter way too late in life) in my ira, it's about 70% etfs. so i'm not really hurting myself. but seeing PLTR, TSLA and TRIT at the top of my winners for the year inspires me and keeps me paying attention to this stuff. There's a few like...

    Paramotoring

    that's what's always confused me. the cost of tunnel time is about the same as a real jump. it's more convenient to tunnel, both how much time you can get in in a day and not having to mess w/ the drive or weather. but a real jump is still ... more fun? I know there's trading time going...

    I think we've talked about this before. I've done 15 jumps, and most have been with guys i can't stand. Most in San Marcus, few up in Salado. And I don't understand the rivalry between them and the tunnel people. If I had $20k spare, I too would do para motor. The freedom to just take off...

    I thought she was OK. I think she'll be a bit more mature and less annoying on screen in her next showing. plus, be careful what you wish for. I could see them going w/ someone far more agenda driven than based on acting chops.

    My company got us a free year of an investment advisor for our 401ks. They did some shuffling and sent pretty reports once a quarter, didn't change my mix much but did enough that I can't assume much by each fund now.
