Re: Largest one day trade?
This one time in 5th grade I traded some expired and stale crackers for a fresh Yodel.

Re: Nomadic-ERE Year 5 - Wanderlust Prevails
@delay, I wouldn't say it's that uncommon around here, and in the broader FIsphere. For the last few years of our careers, our combined income was ~1.5X median household for our area. Our spending was VERY low.....I share savings rate here pretty much since the beginning of time in my monthly update...

Re: Nomadic-ERE Year 5 - Wanderlust Prevails
Not quite, but it's up ~380%
Mind you, these were our highest income and lowest spending years. We are proof that this shit works!

Re: Investments Trade Log
There isn't even the older excuse that "there is no alternative": one can get 5% from cash today. To play devils advocate, when interest rates do eventually go back towards zero.....that would prop the markets. If cash is paying 5% and we're still where we are with equity valuations, mayb...

Very cool. Tampa Bay area is our home away from home. We spend significant time there every year, including 2024 where after our 3 month road trip from NY through the PNW, Cali for EREfest, SW we will spend 4-5 weeks down there from end of October through Thanksgiving. If you're up for it, DW and I ...

Re: Ego's Journal
Nice! i would either skip the sections from Lagos to Sagres by taking the bus, or if you decide to walk them, do the first two in a single day, they are both short and not that exciting. Once you get to Sagres and head north it gets pretty incredible. There is quite a bit of walking on soft sand, so...

Re: On-the-go Meal Prep Kit for maximizing grocery stores as an alternative to fastfood/restaurants?
Ever since late 2019 we've been traveling around with light weight synthetic utensils from REI, chop sticks, aluminum straws, washable cloth napkin and salt/pepper packets.......the amount of plastic waste this has saved is incredible. It's also made doing what you're describing much more pleasurabl...

Re: Western Red Cedar's Journal
Beautiful pictures! You make me want to go back to Vietnam so badly! (we will in Feb) Now that you're not actively earning income, try not to stress the ups and downs of the market. It's a rollercoaster and if you can accept that, it's all going to work out. For example, in the first 9 days of May w...

Ah Lisbon!! Enjoy your travels. We hiked the Fishermans Trail from north to south last year in May and it was PERFECT weather + lots of beautiful flowers. The sections from Porto Covo to Sagres were the best.....highly recommend it if you're into that sort of thing. It was quite empty and the villag...

Re: Expense Ratio and Annual Return
If you're comparing 10 different SP500 index funds, they will all have nearly identical returns, ditto for funds/ETF's that track other index's. You biggest decision is probably more around what you want your asset allocation/investment portfolio to look like at a macro level. This will be based on ...

Re: 3 yrs to FI: ertyu's journal
Small correction, the Trinity Study assumes a 30 year draw down. It also assumes 1% annual fee on portfolio and a 50/50 allocation (where more comprehensive and thorough literature shows a much improved success rate with higher ie 60/40-80/20 allocations). At 42 years old and still working, I would ...

Re: Ego's Journal
@mF, interesting observation regarding the big brand bike shops. Trek did this on Long Island in NY and I hate to say it, has a MUCH better reputation for quality of service AND turn around times vs. the independent LBS's in the area. The inventory arrivals being delayed from late 2020/through 2021 ...

Re: Ego's Journal
This is something very specific to the bike industry right now. It's imploding, with several direct to consumer brands going kaput over the past 6-12 months. When I was bike shopping in December 2021 I was lucky enough to pay MSRP for a $4k Trek MTB, dealers just couldn't get enough stock to meet su...
