Kaisers Orchestra - Bak et hallelujah

I was gonna do shocked pikachu face, but he’s gotta roll coal now, poor guy.

I just updated my annual spreadsheet (haven’t been on top of it) and some “fun” facts that no one asked for:

• Our portfolio almost covers my base salary at a naive 4% withdrawal
• Our net worth is 81% of total lifetime gross earnings
• My pay at my current job has increased an average of 20% annually over the last decade (with considerable volatility)
• My pay this year is almost 7x more than my first job out of college (inflation adjusted)
• Our highest earning year was 4 years ago
• Our net worth has increased a bit over 6x since I heavily got into FIRE
• My 401k is worth just under double the gross contributions

I do, but not much these days. I’ve got kids and a career with meh work life balance. Sleep, exercise, and hobbies all compete for the remainder.

On a good weekend I can get a couple of hours in though.

Results may vary.

Fingers crossed for you.

I’m damned close to a naive 4% withdrawal covering my base salary, but the same caveats about the market tanking apply.

Despite the useless headline, it’s depressingly the same as it ever was:

47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

An equal share — 45% — also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.

36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.

His core of 30 something percent approve whatever the hell it is he is doing and not enough people disapprove.

As an American who has watched this episode it made me confused, angry, and hungry.

(Of course it didn’t, it’s Bluey and it’s a good episode.)
