GramCracker posted:Real talk how the gently caress are you both retired at those ages At a guess: successful business venture followed by cash out at the highest value point or trust fund baby or both. May also mean "functionally" retired in that their passive income exceeds their immediate expenses but live on a shoestring while working adhoc to help build for actual retirement age. Edit: if I'd been less lazy and not gotten involved with my wife (who is now divorcing me, heh) I could probably have been pretty close to functional retirement by mid thirties and out at 40.

Pvt. Public posted:Realtalk for a second. How long have you been retired and what do you do to keep yourself occupied day to day? I retired at 26 and within 4 years I went back to work because I had too much idle time combined with knowing math too well for my own good, so every penny I spent felt like a lot because I knew the rough future value of it if I lived to my 70s and that crippled my ability to spend money on even as little as lunch with friends. 2 years. I stay at home with my daughter for the moment and that keeps me occupied along with all my stupid hobbies. Kids are cool. I'm sure I'll do something eventually again. But I'm okay for now. It's gunna be a while. Fried myself out.

I stay at home with my daughter for the moment and that keeps me occupied along with all my stupid hobbies. Kids are cool. Ah, ok. I think a lot of it, for me, was doing it before 30 so I had no idea how to live a normal life and was still far too young to make the rational decisions that I needed to make to keep myself sane. Plus, I have no desire to have kids, so there's not much of a home life to speak of. It is also incredibly hard to have a relationship with anyone that isn't already well-off themselves and I hate most of those people. I burned a lot of money, stupidly, in the first couple years but not enough to ever worry about it, if I'm honest. Pvt. Public fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Black pudding is very good, but if you're scared of a little blood get white pudding instead. Even though it's less tasty.

I've been trying to find a way using an Oxford comma would have fixed that situation. Can the wealthy retirees ITT start a charitable fund that provides tires to poor karters in need? Some of us are literally using other peoples trash. It's the automotive equivalent of this.  Oh, and was Frankie Muniz actually a poo poo driver? I remembered hearing that he quit acting to do racing, which was his real interest, and I thought "hey, good for him, cool dude". But if it turns out he was just another garbageman buying a seat then I take it back.

I was at a funeral yesterday and had my first joint in about 9 years with my cousin. I totally deffed out, thought I was going to have a heart attack and spent an hour walking in circles trying to regulate my breathing to slow my heart rate down. Good times.

OhsH posted:Yall mfers know you can buy seats in race series, right Yes, and I explored that option during my down time. I stuck to racing bikes and cars at track days rather than go all-in on actual racing. Probably going to buy a kart soon, but I'm 6'6" so that's not ideal. As much as I love watching racing and doing track days, having it as a job would ruin it, just like it did with computers and technology. Plus, I'd hate to eat up a seat someone with talent (of which, I possess little) could use. I have also considered team sponsorship should I get a hair up my rear end and start another company.

As much as i hate sounding like a broken record, find yourself a limo package gold cup ruleset 206, laydown seat for gold cup will help negate how hosed you are from being 6'6". Limo package is just an extended foot area, and gold cup class that has different bodywork/seat rules. You will not be allowed to run it in any lo206 cik series, but at 6'6" its the best chance you have of being competitve in lo 206 senior. Or go wholr hog and get an enduro kart and go real fast laying down. OhsH fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Dec 9, 2017 |

I'll keep this in mind. I've already seen enduro karts and eh, I'd rather have a standard kart. But hell, I have made enough friends at track days that I can just keep paying for tires and fuel and abuse their machinery whenever I want and not have to eat much ownership cost at all. My bikes eat up enough money as it is.
