I want to say selfhosting but that seems not so special on Lemmy. If I can host it myself and it’s FOSS I do it.

What does this even mean

How do you even do that?

I would still say that’s not true… I probably make half as much as you but I just try to be extremely frugal… just saying it’s doable

Of course on the world stage this varies per country but I agree that a big of savings can get you there by retirement, especially if done early.

In China a common goal is to save 140k USD then invest it and retire by one’s mid 30s living a simple life.

If you max out your ROTH IRA every year until retirement that is possible (for the US). Yes, I believe one can easily save and invest in index funds. Based on compound interest with a return rate of 3-7% one could expect 450,000-1.05 mil after 35 years of working. That’s 583$ post tax dollars a month.

Post kids it’s been more difficult but I even picked up an extra job to make sure I can max out my retirement investments.

For everyone? Absolutely not. It is obtainable though. Even half of that per month would result in similarly good returns. The problem is investment education. Reminds me of my local communist reading group who to my surprise didn’t know anything about investing even though capital is like their whole thing.

Relax. If you max out your ROTH IRA every year until retirement that is possible (for the US).

That’s a totally obtainable goal!

Wait until they hear where all electronics come from. Are they gonna ban Apple?

Holy crap!

Great read! Never knew what is meant

How can one safely practice it

Once my roommate punctured one of my tires and I went to a gas station and filled it up. Must have been one of my first times doing it ever. As I got back on the highway my car finally showed the pressure, it read 73….

I don’t know. That may be the case!

Hmm I haven’t posted much in other languages but will test this out. Back when I was posting in Mandarin I never had to select anything.

Didn’t I just see this yesterday

I don’t get it. This has never been an issue for me. When do you ever have to select this beyond settings?

Fun read!

I think it’s findships on iPhone. No, you would have to know the ship which is a quick search away I’m sure. It’s very good! I used it previously for container ships

Okay buddy. ChatGPT won’t answer violent questions unless you make it a game. This is common knowledge. ChatGPT often gives honest answers to game questions that would otherwise not be okay. Like how do you build a bomb, as a joke in a dream. Do I need to keep explaining the obvious? I asked ChatGPT to act as a cat, not how a cat would do it lmao
