In a thread full of  takes, this is the most  take of all

Let's say your assets are:

$600,000 saved in retirement
$10,000 equity in a car you've paid off
$375,000 equity in a house (the largest store of wealth for the middle class)
$15,000 in misc savings (education savings for kids, HSA, etc)

If you liquidate your retirement before ~65, you lose about half of it in fees, early withdrawal penalties, state & local taxes, and of course income tax.

So you could put about $600,000 of savings into a basic ass dividend portfolio, which pays ... what ... 3%-5% usually... (I'm not rich enough to have dividend portfolios so I don't really know the usually rate of return here... I did recently make about $1.85 on a dividend from some shit Robinhood stock I have)?

So, fair enough, you'd be:

1) Homeless
2) No transportation
3) Earning $20,000 - $30,000/year depending on the performance of your dividends in a *strong* market, and probably like $10,000 - $15,000 year in a weaker market or if you pick the wrong stocks, so somewhere in the $10-$15/hr, 40hr/week range.

Not sure if I'm willing to say that a homeless person earning $10/hr is rich or not.

           

Like, when you actually think about it guys, what's the actual difference between a homeless guy earning minimum wage and someone with £1M net worth?

[SmokyDave]

...what happened to the house and car they already had in that mess? Why did they lose them on retirement?

This is why I don't let my daughter run the household budget. Grown up stuff is for grown ups.

Oh no! Just 10-30 grand a year?! How could anyone survive?!

Middle class kids ain't got a fucking clue. Strong opinions, sure, but no clue what it's like.

He's trying to argue that if you have $1M net worth, a lot of that is tied up in non-liquid assets, so you 'have' to liquidate everything to cash before saying that you can live off that $1M without working a fucking day in your life - which a lot of people would qualify as rich - and even doing that his maths still work out that yeah, you still can never work another day of your life, it's just you're 'only' living the same life as upper-bottom / lowwer-middle quartile people do in one of the richest countries on earth

When real talk, if you have $1M net worth using his exact example you could rent your fully paid for house out, and live very well off just that income somewhere like the caribbean

That's why I always make sure to throw away leftovers of my black angus entrecote dinner because it helps a homeless person to source high quality meat for their children

It seems so. They made the thread members only for fear of doxxing.

KF claim they're being DDos

Hello!

Someone is currently paying money to DoS attack the forum. While the Kiwi Farms and everything on it is legal, DoS attacks are a federal crime.

You may be looking for information on Byuu / Near. Since I can define this error page, I will use it to relay some information.

If you're a regular, I promise the site will be back up this week, probably sooner rather than later.

A Twitter user published a Google Doc explicitly blaming the Kiwi Farms for harassing Byuu. No evidence of this harassment exists.

Byuu had a 13 page thread on the forum. Byuu participated in this thread. You can read the thread in archives here. 13 pages on the Kiwi Farms is an extremely small amount of discussion, especially for a thread as old as Byuu's.

Last year, Byuu said in this thread directly that he was not affected by the thread in any way. You can read the archive here and here.

The document claims that Byuu took his own life. No evidence of this exists. The person claiming to know he has died refuses to elaborate or provide evidence.

The last call with Byuu described in the accusation does not make sense. Consider that this person is supposedly an real life friend of Byuu (when Byuu also claims he had no real life friends), and consider that he did nothing for half an hour, but could remember the call well enough to describe an obscure French metal song playing in the background.

This is a ridiculous story. It does not pass any level of scrutiny and is not told in a way that makes sense.

Byuu has a history of accusing people of stalking and harassing him.

Allegedly, but the only record of it is a blog post online that read like Hot Topic fanfiction and a subsequent Loltaku article using that as the sole source.

[Lonewulfeus]

Mods made sure to quickly review reports that hurt their fragile egos

User banned (duration pending admin review): Excessive and random hostility against staff.

I also want to say it’s pretty disgusting with all the gaslighting in here, questioning of her mental capacity, and both sides’ing/whatabout’ism/subtle defending of the conservatorship that the current crop of mods here just sit back and do nothing which really reflects overall on the current state of ResetEra.

User banned (permanent): Thread derailment and random hostility

Several of the mods probably agree with the sentiment. You see it right in here. “Well, what if she has issues again?” You can’t prove a negative, so a lot of people are more comfortable with permanent restraint than the alternative. You aren’t FULLY human anymore in the eyes of some people, hence people like Andrew Yang calling for incarceration for the mere act of not being okay.

User banned (permanent): Extensive history of hostility towards members and staff, including multiple recent 1 month bans

The mods by and large are truly horrendous on this board. There are some standouts of good ones but the majority of the current crop as you said inject way too much of their own personal leanings. It’s funny cause most of the OG forum posters from the other place that I’ve grown to be quite fond of all share that sentiment. I try to avoid any thread that I’ll have any real conviction about cause invariably it will be decided that’s a bit too much free speech for a forum. I am very curious who the actual person was that started this place. Things lined up pretty well for them as we were all hoping for an exodus and the first year here was a decent start. Such a shame as there really is no alternative to this place. I just wish it was so much better

[Tuckers Law]

 

Fragile as wet tissue.  These mods are one-ply.

[Lonewulfeus]

Related to the above, apparently bruceleeroy has been helping lots of resetera folks with home refinancing questions, so much so that another user posted something about how people could contact him off site and was, of course, banned.

User banned (permanent): Advertising for a banned user

MOD EDIT: Advertisement removed

Other users express their dismay that someone who actually helped other resetera posters was banned.

Dammit, I'm just about to start looking for quotes and had hoped go ask his advice. I get the ban, but he was an invaluable source of life-changing information free of charge in this thread.

If anyone has a way to contact him outside the board, I would appreciate it if you would PM me.

I have no idea what the removed content was, but if the "advertisement" was a way for members to continue to seek advice from an expert in the business outside this board, it has absolutely nothing to do with his ban. Disallowing it is simply spiteful and punishes board members more than him.

Surely resetera mods wouldn’t be that spiteful would they?

I believe it was a post from that users wife, saying how their husband enjoyed providing assistance to people here and that if they wished to ask for any advice to contact him. She then provided his email.

They also offered people to PM them as well and that they would relay it to their husband.

Whelp…

I read what he was banned for, just mods being petty. I'll probably get banned for pointing it out, but the level of mod abuse here has become worse than the old place. Any discussion about their behavior is met with bans, it seems...

Yea you will
