Early Retirement Extreme Forums

I was unclear, I mean't the math in the Bodie book, McConnell math hasn't gone above multiplication and division.

And both. First half is macro, second half is getting into micro.

This was tried about a year ago, don't think it got much traction. I'm finishing McConnell first, and I don't think I could keep up with the 2 week schedule seeing as it looks like I'll need to teach myself a bunch of math to complete this, but I might pop in here when I get it started.

@basuragomi, I haven't given much thought to the WoG concept outside my surface understanding of finding mutually reinforcing endeavors. How to tie my social life into that? I'd be lying if I said I had any clue. No shop. I work on a fold-out table in the carport. Very limited capacity which is a dr...

@Mathiverse, Spent on investing specifically so far? None outside pop-investor books like RWDWS or The Intelligent Investor or The Four Pillars of Investing and a bunch of others. Bodie will be the first to delve into the nitty-gritty after I finish Econ 101. I don't think I have an upper limit of h...

Basuromi & RJ, not ignoring you, only came in at the moment to regale the forum with current C19 shenanigans. --- A coworker held a party last Friday night, turns out a whole squadron who came to the party all had it, and now he has it. We worked outside, masked, and not close together for about...

EDIT: hello, may you have a great day.

Jacob, (I don't want to hi-jack anticonsumerist's new journal, if you feel it's more appropriate to move this to my journal feel free) I'm currently 2/3 through McConnell and Bodie is next. I think it's unrealistic for me to get through all 8 of them (at least in one go), but at least half is defini...

- We got a $5 immersion blender and I made hummus for the first time. Surprisingly easy and now I don't think I'll ever buy hummus again. Roast a bell pepper or two and put that shit in there, delicious! I don't know what recipe you followed, but I eventually dropped tahini from my hummuses. It's b...

This calculator doesn't really do the same thing you just did, but it does present the information on a calendar, therefore on a by day basis, which I appreciate.

Welcome Jimmy! Those are some nice looking charts. They're almost giving me enough motivation to whip a few up myself since I've always been too lazy to. I like the NW/Lifetime Earnings ratio, that's a fun little number to track that I haven't seen used much, if at all. Would you care to elaborate o...

December Spending I’m not going to break it all down like normal. Total spending was $886.11. The were no unexpected or costly necessary expenses this month and I would have come in closer to $650, but I bought a couple nice gifts, a bunch of fancy chocolate from the local fancy chocolate maker, an...

Lemur, you're kinda killin' this whole active portfolio thing. Good job, you're making it look easy!

ertyu, I pretty much assumed as much, I only wanted to double-check that we were on the same page. The internal success is definitely the crux of the biscuit here. --- mooretrees, I find that people on an individual level are more likely to be A-ok. Even the most domineering personalities are somewh...

Like yourself, I also have a close relationship with my parents and my brother. I consider myself fortunate in that regard and what you're having to go through seems a worst nightmare scenario. Wishing you strength and peace in this arduous chapter, 2020 can indeed suck a dick.

there's something about that inner congruence that is very important to me, and the performative and politicky aspect of group social interactions often cause me to feel conflict wrt this value, thus making social interaction not enjoyable I think you just described my feelings better in one senten...

Different employer - Every job has some crap aspects. It's likely a new position recreates my situation at another company. Only, I wouldn't have the decade of organizational relationships, knowledge and reputation. Current circumstances have my appetite to restart extremely low. I hate selling mys...

- Dinging the "I quit" bell probably closes my career Why would that be the case? From the way you write about your role at your company it seems that you're a critical asset, and with your amount of experience what would prevent you from acquiring another job in the future? I don't think...

Thank you, @IIoronoa. I might need to figure out how to make my own BBQ pork now to make some char siu bao. --- Reading 53. 1st 300 pages of McConnell The past few chapters on fiscal policy and banking/monetary policy have been particularly interesting to me. 54.

Good job on the running and cycling and getting a running partner! Pretty impressive numbers. I'd like to be posting digits like that, but I'm not tough enough to get out that much while working :lol: I know the health benefits come at much lower numbers so I console myself that way. I used to have ...
