  1. When my business partners and I started our company 7 years ago, this was the goal.  Then after a few years we realized the kids don't want to run our business.  So we're going to get it as big as we can in the next few years and sell it.  And then we can finance what our kids want to do.

    This is what we’ve done. Wife and her brother grew their business and sold it a few months ago. We are both working until the kid is out of high school at the minimum.

  2. Oh if I’m fired I’m working at Lowe’s. I meant what kind of businesses,  or what shit ass job you’d try to get. 

    I’ll be working at one of those in door video golf places or something where I can hit during down time. I’ll take the opening 11am shift.
  3. I can see the sun and stars. Mythical gods not so much.
    Theres a great series on Netflix,  Our Universe,narrated by Morgan Freeman which does an incredible job illustrating our connection to a higher power. That power being the sun and the stars.

    Yes! We are all part of the cosmic soup.

  4. I would just like for all of the cults to stop killing each other and being assholes in general. If they want to believe in a sky being - fine - just shut the fuck up about it and leave the other cults alone. More importantly - leave those of us alone that have zero belief in any religion.

  5. My financial goal for 2025 was to hit $4M in liquid assets. If the market stays static from here until the end of the year, we should be cruising past that number by the early fall.
    Looking towards the end of 2025:
    1. Increase my 401K contribution % to absolutely, positively make sure I reach the $31K. I probably don't need to, but getting there faster never hurts.
    2. Stop renovating the damn house. In the past 4 years, we've redone the kitchen, replaced the windows, and renovated the upstairs baths. Everything looks great, but it'll be great to stop writing checks as well.
    3. I need to set up auto transfers from savings to my brokerage account so it doesn't just sit there in cash. After our bonuses last month, we have a pile that's being lazy and needs be put to work.
    The plan is still to keep working until my boy finishes college. With any luck, we should be in the 8-digit range by then.

    You and I seem to be on similar paths.

  6. I just started sprint interval training a few weeks back, anyone else? I do it on a stationary bike. i'm becoming a fan as I don't have to do dedicated cardio for an hour, I do 8-10 thirty second sprints on a stationary then rest for a quick minute then back at it.  all in about 20-30 mins of intense cardio - max effort. works for my ADHD brain and it mimics the rhythm of a tennis match.

    It’s part of my cycling training. I have the Nordic Track bike. Auto adjusts tension and changes incline. I use the IFit trainings that are on it for a lunch ride daily. Today was 10 - 2 minute intervals pushing 275 watts. It’s a GREAT way to train and is easy on the body.
