My Roth - 153.77%
Wife's Roth - 207.7%
My 401K - 11.4%
Wife's 401K - 11.1%

I don't ever look at 401K account and just leave them in funds

Roth's I obviously play around with. Most of those gains are attributed to NBIS, HGRAF, and OUST

Yep. We got a decently priced AirBNB in the outskirts of Atlanta near a MARTA stop for the match we are going to. We got tickets for Spain v Cabo Verde for $500 a piece. About as cheap as I could find for any match
I havent done any options trading. I dont understand it and it scares me :lol:
I basically use BB88 as an unpaid financial advisor these days :lol: I increasingly feel like the only way I'll ever be able to retire or start making significant money outside of my job is playing the market, and you guys have been great for helping with that. All of my current plays are in IRAs. I dont have a brokerage account. I need to start one to try and start actually making some usable money rather than just money I cant touch for 25 years

That's objectively false. Also for the price i can get 2 gig here, 10x faster. It's great for people in the boonies, but only elon chuds would buy it in a developed area. So what's the actual market for this?


They are heavily used in the refinery space. I've deployed dozens of them to mobile trailers at jobsites. It's honestly been revolutionary for internet solutions in the petrochem industry.
I'll chime in with my thoughts as a middle age millenial.

Between my wife and I, we bring home right around $100K a year after taxes, 401K, health insurance, etc.

I find it very hard to "save" in the sense of saving liquid cash, or "padding" the bank account. Now we both contribute to our 401Ks and have a couple of roth accounts. But we arent close to being able to max our contributions to those or hsa much less just stash money in a savings account. We have a modest house in a suburb of Baton Rouge, It's 50 years old and needs repairs. We have two cars, one paid off and one with a note less than $500/mth. Two kids in public school. I dont think $100K is impossible, but it is damn sure feeling more and more difficult. I've picked up a second job just to supplement our income. In order to max our contributions to 401ks, IRAs, and HSA, we'd need about an additional $65K per year of gross income.

No, they are not a big player in data center space, and in my opinion never will be. They in recent years have made enterprise grade routing and switching hardware, but that will be a slow adoption process just because they have always been more of a "pro"sumer and small business leader
