Banned for the second time. Tried to come back with a third identity. It was obvious it was him. It was embarrassing. Hopefully he stays gone. This place turned around 180 degrees for the better as soon as he was gone.

No matter how much health you think you have life can throw you a health curve ball when you least expect it.

God seems to be the ultimate equalizer.

same can be said for money too though. doesnt mean it’s not worth trying to maximize one, the other or both.

I think G-d is just having a good laugh toying with me, like he did with Job,a bet with Satan on how exactly i will act when i am squirming in pain.

just an idle wager on how I’ll react, than trying to equalize anything.

actually i just hurt my foot today falling off a bike. why, G-d, why hast thou forsaken me?

working hard in a stressful field for 25 years, probably not great for health. Maybe i’m worse than i think. I have a vein on the side of my head that looks ominous. maybe i’ll just stroke out. or worse, be paralyzed.

[quote=scaredyclassic]this sounds like what an old person might say, but gosh darn it, 60 isn’t so old. i feel great!

really, maybe the goal shouldnt be X amount of wealth by 60, but X amount of health.

would one’s future be more secure at age 60 with (a) a couple million net worth but shaky health, or (b) having perfect cholesterol numbers, a 6 pack, no meds, flexible and fit, good teeth and gums, 9 hours good sleep a night and no depression, but just 4,300 in your checking account.

wheres brian when you need him.

I think there’s an argument that a not necessarily better than b. b will probably have more fun, in any event, unless he’s still married to a normal woman, who will not like this.

obviously, both are nice. but i would definitely sacrifice a certain amount of health for a certain amount of wealth. it shows by how i live my life. I value money over mental health.

Why pick either- or? You could always be efficient when you are young without killing yourself. So there are some times you need work a little more to get a lot more back. Pay your dues up front, doesn’t mean sacrificing your personal life. “Personal freedom”,as many people say that is far more important than money, is overrated when you are young. That personal freedom often ends up being wasting time getting nothing done, like blogging a lot on piggington. Often times, it’s an excuse for not putting in your time early. And then the subsequent need to either put more effort in later or needing to live a more Spartan lifestyle which may not necessarily be what one really wanted, let alone what a potential significant other would want.

The traditional allocation is 60 percent money 40 percent health, with increasing health allocations as retirement approaches. But people are rethinking these parameters. Experts now suggest that younger workers should more aggressively target health, with perhsps as much as allocating an 80/20 split health to money allocation for better health returns in retirement.

Follow up on leaving SF.

My son moved out of SF proper for a smaller nothern california city last month.

He made a reservation for a U-Haul truck. They wanted $500 or just $80 if he would bring the truck back to SF. When moving day arrived, he went to his local U-Haul office that he had scheduled to be the pickup location. They said sorry, you have to pick your truck up in some little burg that was a 3 hour drive from SF. What? He called U-Haul main office. They said his reservation guaranteed him a truck but not a pickup location. He said then cancel my reservation.

He called and I said he should never have used U-Haul, the trucks I’ve rented from them were crappy anyway, and that I always use Penske now. So he called Penske and they got him a truck – in SF – within a couple of hours. All they had was a 26 footer so he took it. Scared the crap out of him driving that in SF! Can’t recall what he ended up paying for that but I think it was similar deal to U-Haul.

So yes there is an exodus from SF. The moving truck situation is telling.

Ditto here. Before Covid and the riots, I rented a Uhaul from Seattle to San Diego for $89! Total, no mileage fees! Guy told me they needed trucks in SD as ‘everyone’ is going to Texas.

The rental rates mapped on a map would be an interesting ongoing database.
