I'll likely toss back tons of brown trout and a bunch of rainbows. If I catch any decent sized rainbows, I'll take them, but I'm mostly fishing for kings when I go in August. I'll prob go again a few weeks later for the steelhead run. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5749513&forum_id=2)#49096863) |

The trust will vest and they're just going to retire at 18. You may never have the funds to retire and if your kids are any less talented than you they'll sink to the bottom fast.

This is key.
You have to set your lifestyle & COL at a reasonable lower point and maintain that setpoint going forward.
Lifestyle creep is an addiction: we always want more, more, more; and whenever we get a hit, it's never as good as the last. |

Date: July 13th, 2025 12:45 PM Author: bipolar jade gunner It's easy for are country bogglehead fags to say this when they're being careful to not overreact to temporary 50k increases in their propane business because it's been a "busy summer." Good for them for being prudent.
It's hard to do this in practice when you watch your yearly comp go from e.g., 250k to 500k to 1m to 2m to 5m over 10, 15 years, you get caught up on the treadmill very easily. |
|
Date: July 13th, 2025 12:59 PM Author: big house I think most people live better/more expensively at 45 than at 25.
Some expansion is necessary (more BRs for more kids), and some is not (fancier autos).
Actively controlling that treadmill and finding the point at which one is happy and doesn't need to keep buying moremoremore is a conscious decision that's difficult in the face of modern GC. |
