It’s like grass steroids bro! Totally worth it

Don’t forget your pre-em, it’s time!

Side note, not sure what effect burning has on pre-em if you’ve already put it down. My guess would’ve not great though…

 

[louBdub]

It’s rockin!

I’m ready to charge the gates of Minas Morgul.

Also, the retiree punchline will work with “How can you tell if someone is vegan?”

Where do you think I stole it from
Never knew it'd apply elsewhere until now

I hate everyone equally.

This seems appropriate

Get this man a reel mower and a spray rig!!

I used to be an assistant superintendent at a club where we hosted multiple PGA Tour events. Love seeing posts about grass (turfgrass that is).

There’s a scene in the Wahlberg remake of The Gambler where John Goodman’s character gives a great speech about Fuck You Money.

Basically, he says the goal is to get your hands on enough money that even conservatively invested (let’s say 4% annual return), the income will cover all of your basic living expenses.

So if any boss demands that you do something you don’t want to, you can say Fuck You. Because you have that safety net to allow you to walk away at any time.

(Goodman pegs the Fuck You amount at $2.5 million. But that was about 10 years ago. $2.5M x 4% = $100K. $3M x 4% = $120K. Note that 4% is very low historically. Right now you can get over 5% in plain old Schwab or Vanguard money market funds.)

Not sure if that clip is online but I’ll try to find it. Clip below.

Well, that's good that I'm 4% of the way there.

Guessing this is not the thread where we discuss what to do when you retire before 50 ? ? ?

Seriously true!!

Not to be a buzzkill, but this is the type of quote that gets attributed to everyone from Mark Twain to Lincoln to Gandhi to Churchill to Einstein. I would be surprised if Franklin said it.

Still a great saying, tho.

Great spot to be. I would say in a situation like this, once all my necessary expenses are covered (mortgage, healthcare, utilities, food, gas, etc.) if I had $1500 leftover at the end of every month I would feel like I was living the dream. Anything above that would be gravy!

Shit. I knew I'd get the source wrong.

You shouldn’t use a women’s suffrage hero like Harriet Tubman in a joke. It would be better to pick someone like Marie Curie, who founded the Red Cross.

Next time I'll use the founder of NASA, Clara Barton

The difference between me and you.

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to livin' big-dog-style and straight coastin'

About 5 bank accounts, 3 ounces, and 2 vehicles
