Do you have kids?

They are super expensive in the daycare days and the high school and college days. I might get a yard guy when the last one is off the payroll

You aren’t C suite when your office is a repurposed closet outside the waiting room

He’s childless and his wife makes all the money. Seems like a nice guy, just a total airhead

I make just as much if not more than my wife

She pays all the bills for the house and cell phones. I pay for the cars, insurance, lawn care, pool cleaning, vacations we spilt and any big stuff we buy throughout the year we split.

I still feel the need to leave my siblings, nieces and nephews something when I’m gone but it’s not as important as if I were to have kids.

Like do I leave them a little less money and buy that car I’ve always wanted for my 50th birthday. I’m probably buying the car

A little below but I am approaching the end of the accumulation/family man part of life. Both kids are in college so still helping them. Have plenty of life insurance and can retire at 55 with life time pension for me and eventually the wife if she outlives me.

Starting the spending phase. I don’t need to save another dollar and my pension and other savings can cover all my expenses. Might not be a lot left for “the kids” but they are already adults and will likely be 40-50 before I pass. You only live once and I did right by them already.

There’s 3 Pharmacies around the Baton Rouge area and you posted dividends from the pharmacies. The owner’s name is Chris and your user name looks like Chris with Rx which ties to Pharmacy stuff.

I mean Chris RX is not hard to tie 2 and 2 together

You retire early by leveraging your assets to build wealth

I’m doing it the hard way. Maybe I need you to show me the ropes.

I already told you I consider post tax basis cash. I can liquidate it within 24 hours with no tax consequences
