Early Retirement Extreme Forums

I read their newsletter and it said you can rent your house as long as there's no parking conflicts and essentially, no tenants being nasty to the neighbors. The taxation piece is weird, which is why a lot of ppl in FL just have tenants pay in cash. Seems sketchy to me. Top floor has two really nice...

I could use some help with this and the research is looking to be a pain. If my parents live in a two floor house, and want to rent the top floor out, is that fine legally? I don't think the HOA cares as long as there's enough parking spaces and the neighbors are happy. The accountant said something...

Damn, so much space heater hate. It's a good thing my department is like 3 ppl. Corporate really really sucks, huh? Hurray MPA.

@aspi guy, yeah he sounds like an asshole making net happiness less without finding a solution that works for those 60 ppl.

who is this Olaz you speak of? Heresy!

Sensing work, like TPS reports, tax forms, and such.

I just want to be able to do Sensing work while having fun tbh

See, look, proof! Now pass the stuff S'il vous plaît

Saw a documentary on it on Netflix. Thought it was interesting. Also, did you know that there are elementary magnet schools with an acceptance rate of <10%. What is going on out there.

Anyway, I may have ADHD or may otherwise find such a productivity product useful, so - anyone tried it?

This plastic contraption shooting hot air at me underneath the desk sure is nice. Comfort & productivity is up 8-) I may get some fingerless gloves though. Alpaca or some-such. This is almost as good as occasionally drinking Water on the job! I also got an Xbox One, 4K edition, $400. Oh no people, I...

Sweet

@Jason, maybe he will. That'd be interesting to see. I usually sidestep that planning by avoiding marriage, but it'd be interesting to see how a divorce is handled with a multi-million dollar portfolio.

Yeah, fair enough, I wouldn't want personal matters to be discussed out of context.

On a more general, non-MMM sense...relationships, ephemeral these days huh. Good news is, with FAT or LeanFire, you can enjoy the ride and not worry about working on top of your love life.

@Laura, wait did someone die/divorce/get added. What's the scoop!? Oh the drama...

Damn, if even rich, educated, intentional people can't keep their relationships. Fuck.

I'd love books and resources on understanding the pros and cons of living in different states and countries. Thus far the only book I've read on the subject is Reconnaissance Man by Aaron Clarey, which is pretty red pill. I'm fine with that, but I'd like more travel books. I also liked Ken Ilgunas's...

I feel like the student assistant next to me would just ask for one too...and my boss would be like: "damn, I should've thought of that. Don't tell HR lol."

That's a good point on the air conditioner over-compensating. So I need something that's just small enough for my cubicle and that's it. If it's too big then it'll get ruined by the AC. Guys, I don't think you understand, IDGAF about the environment, the world is going to hell and this hot-air blowe...

Although I dig the medieval-jedi look and a heated keyboard sounds cool, these are like $40:

The next time I go to Ren Fair though...

Try $100/mo. Just hit up the parents. lmao

You could even hit those #'s living in HCOL area with a roommate or SO. My own costs are very similar over the past 5 years.(adding in bold for comparison.) $500k will be a great spot to pull the plug. The question is, will I want to live on $18k/yr in my 40's, 50's, and beyond......probably not. S...

I'm thinking of getting a little cubicle space heater. I absolutely hate how stupidly cold offices are, even as the temperature is a cozy 70-80 outside. Nothing destroys my productivity like being cold, especially hands and feet. I won't be paying the electricity, but I don't want to fry the circuit...

Is there really that much difference for one person after they have 500K? I get it if you have a family or feel like living in the shit-hole that is LA or NYC, but 15-20K/yr is a lot... $600/mo for rent and utilities = 7K $400/mo for HI, Dental, Umbrella = 5K $200/mo for food = 3K $100/mo for transi...
