Google says this documentary is on Netflix for those also curious. Haven’t logged in to verify, but maybe someone else can fact check that.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

I’m currently in the process of building my first mechanical keyboard. I have a Lily58 mostly assembled, in the troubleshooting steps now. It’s been a fun project so far.

Whether or not nap happens, maybe.

Since I left college and started out into the “adult world”, I’ve always spent less than I made, the rest going to savings or investments toward retirement. I accomplish this by “paying myself first”. If I have already saved the money as my first priority, I can’t spend it on things like rent or groceries. So my financial choices are forced to be more conservative by design.

Example: I forget what the max limit to IRAs were at the time (say $5k/yr) but for my first job I set up auto contributions each month and mentally took a $5k/yr salary “cut” for that job. Every time I got a raise, I made sure that at least a portion of that raise went to increasing my savings rate and attempted to avoid lifestyle creep.

Thanks to my savings, I’ve been able to handle some emergencies in cash vs having to utilize debt to cover the expenses. It really is a snowball. I started out small, now my savings is significant compared to my income.

I attribute a lot of my “pay yourself first” approach to reading The Automatic Millionaire, Expanded and Updated: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich early on.

It was refreshing to have a civil debate without yelling and name calling. Compared to the previous debate it’s night and day.

Another ls alias I’m a fan of is ls -latr which I alias to lt. It gives you a time sorted directory listing with the most recent next to your cursor (helpful for large directories).

It’s a taquito.

Researching around this cause I thought it was interesting, certainly not an expert. Apparently your case is considered an “accidental American” and you can probably search for others in your scenario. The IRS has a tax treaty with Germany that should be able to help you reduce (or maybe eliminate) your tax burden.

Thanks!

@[email protected], we understand this is a volunteer effort, but as the community lead, would you be able to shed some light into the status of the upgrade? I don’t think we are asking or pressuring for the upgrade to happen ASAP, just some transparency would be nice. We’re two weeks past the proposed update, and almost a month beyond the last communication on the topic. Appreciate what you all do to provide the community for us, we ask because we care.

If all goes well, we will set a release day in the next week or two, most likely on a Saturday around 1800 UTC.

Any chance we get can get a status update?

That seems really interesting, but not $30 app interesting.

Think it’s just you. You should try viewing it not on mobile if it’s giving you issues. It’s a 1665x3441 pixel image, plenty of resolution to render all the text.

Generic “assume everyone on the Internet is from my country.” US Roth IRA contribution limits for 2023 is $6.5k, going up to $7k next year. If different country, disregard.

The Personal Finance wiki from that other site has a Prime Directive flowchart that spells out how you should allocate windfalls. Here’s the US flowchart but they have them for other countries with their respective finance programs.

In short, if you already are able to live off a smaller income, build an emergency fund so you don’t go backwards, then pay your future self. Don’t inflate your expenses unnecessarily because that just makes the goal of retirement cost more in the end.
