Just leave it for a few days, someone will pick it up. If you can't wait, lower the discount a bit.

*edit* someone just got the kid stroller thing. "Order Accepted" ... Let's hope he doesn't cancel.

I stopped using it around 2017, and left maybe $20 worth. When I logged in last month, it was $200, so I got some stuff with it, LOL. Then turned on 2FA. Purse hodls for you, but I wouldn't count on it. Still, not your keys ...

I usually set it fairly high then depending on urgency, I'll drop it a percent per day. 20% nearly always gets taken quickly. Unfortunately, purse doesn't always calculate taxes correctly so some of the benefit gets lost. You can usually message them to take it off but it gets a bit of a hassle. It might be that my last couple of purchases were fairly low value that meant they weren't as attractive.

We cut the cord many years ago. We don't watch sport and there were only a couple of shows we watched and netflix was good for most stuff and eye-patch wearing took care of the rest. Well worth doing. Though our antenna died about a year ago and we don't miss it much. I still intend to replace it sometime.

We know the ultimate safe haven asset is bitcoin. Soon others will realize this too. However, much of our spending and living expenses will still be paid in fiat. Purse is a nice one, been getting 25% to 33% discounts on everything I put there, I just need to wait patiently for the stuff to arrive.

I like purse. Especially lately, it seems that every time I go back for a new purchase, I have the same dollar worth in my account as before I made the last one. I've been having trouble getting the high discounts recently though. Not sure if that is due to the changing price of Bitcoin recently.

Here's some recent ones for me:





Hehe... I decided to try an antenna to get some free over the air local TV channels. I don't have cable, only internet, and the live streaming sites don't have much. I had a cheaper antenna before, but only picked up a few channels. See, that antenna got "processed" at 32%, but the kiddie stroller radio flyer thing at 25% is still "waiting for earner".

Just leave it for a few days, someone will pick it up. If you can't wait, lower the discount a bit.

As for vehicle insurance, there are some policies that will replace the car if you total it or for theft. The premium is also higher. I've had the unfortunate incident of having a pickup stolen in broad daylight parked in a large mall. The insurance company could not replace it with an identical model, but gave us the 4WD version of it, so we got an upgrade actually.

True. I should have been more specific that I meant as a general outcome of owning the insurance rather than as a result of loss or damage of the vehicle. I'm still on my first coffee.

8+ years later I'm retired with a close to double-digit $million fortune. What an incredible experience it's been. Traded so many shitcoins I thought I would end up broke.

Congrats to everyone who made it.

Congrats. You should be able to live the rest of your life very comfortably even if nothing else happens from now. $5m invested in "safe" investments will return at least $200k per year on 4%. Your double digit fortune should probably and likely will triple or more in the years to come, if they are still in bitcoin.

I see people mention such high interest rate figures here but nothing seems "safe" to me except for perhaps a property portfolio and protected banks only pay 0.5% if you are lucky.

4% is the oft-considered SWR or Safe Withdrawal Rate. It's based on a study by some folks from Trinity University studying stock market returns and backtesting them over 30 year periods. They used historical data from 1926-2009 and tested various rolling periods (i.e. for 30-year retirements, they tested 1926-1955, 1927-1958, 1928-1957,…,1980-2009).

Basically, the 4% applies to a 60/40 equities/bonds ratio portfolio, typically the S&P 500 or the Total Stock Market Funds and bonds, typically all US. Some do global or international.

Here is a favorite calculator to play with: https://firecalc.com/

The default values there imply a 95% success rate starting with $750k and withdrawing $30k per year for 30 years.
Fantastic! Thanks man! Merit him I'm poor.

As for the term "Life Insurance", I interpret it as a pension (a lump sum and/or monthly payment) after a certain age, say, 60 y/o.

Life insurance presented as investments are typically really bad at being investments. Better to buy pure insurance and invest the difference. You don't expect car insurance to buy you a new car, after all.

Term Life is what I got. I used to work in the insurance industry many years ago, and we got a crash course in the stuff that is normally offered, plus the advice of my own dad, he said, just get term life to cover anything such as children's expenses / education.

Once we all graduated and got our useless degrees, my dad stopped his term life insurance and said, if anything happens to him, we are on our own, he got us this far already.

But lost are all the contents of that car as well (not much, but still, some personal items in the glove box maybe.)

You know it's surprising how many people still approach me with the alt coin story "My mate had a buddy say Hex is the next big thing so do you think..."

This is my friend every time we speak. Unfortunately some of his other friends made (or claim to have made) a bunch of money on Bitcoin before messing with the alts so have some superficial credibility. I've tried to explain the pump & dump nature of alts (and how there are more than seven thousand of them so I don't really have any opinion on more than a handful [and most of that is bad]) but I think he only got the message when he got his fingers burnt.
