Brute sound like Tarzan, Frankenstein and Tonto: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/ ... long/n9746

But brute welcome!

Talk in third person or not.

brute thanks dragline

Excellent work Brute, welcome !

I recon you mentioned you were '12%' in the other thread. So how many year's of expenses do you plan to save?

3 is 12% of 25.

Welcome OP.

excellent work with the math, IlliniDave.

brute thanks all humans for the warm welcome.

Welcome, Brute!

Llorona has questions for Brute:
1. Why does Brute refer to himself/herself in the third person?
2. Is Brute human?

If Brute isn't human then I fear the worst. Robots wanting ERE.

I can do maths, yo. I tried finding that earlier 12% post, I thought it was in the introduce yourself section but couldn't find it, maybe it was changed/deleted. So just wanted to confirm if I'm following correctly.

Edit: Additionally, it wasn't specified if that figure was the WR or reserve index in the earlier post.

But just think how low they could get their accommodation costs!

there is an idea of brute. some kind of abstraction. but there is no real brute. only an entity, something illusory. and though brute can hide his cold gaze and humans can shake brutes hand and feel flesh gripping theirs, and maybe they can even sense their lifestyles are probably comparable, brute simply is not there.

1.6x

Almost 50 percent in one year. Good job...

Or no job?

Good.

no job, brute is down to 1.6x yearly living expenses from 3x because he's been bumming around the planet for over a year, unemployed.

It's still more than most people probably have. I think at some point though you have to grind it out.

Where are you? What are you doing? 'sounds nice to me.

Can I point out the discrepancy that spending one year from your stash brought it down 1.4 years expenses?

it was over a year, and during this time brute's location and cost of living fluctuated wildly. it fits the bill pretty well on average.

brute discovered that complete freedom of location and time can be very boring.
