1. If someone doesn’t have kids and doesn’t need to leave any inheritance, does 3% withdrawal apply to them as well? When I run the models, at 3% withdrawal one ends up with a lot of money at 100 years of age.

2. Also, if you plan to retire in India, but your investments are in USD, is the 8% inflation still applicable or it get offset somewhat due to INR USD relationship?

My parents are visiting Seattle this weekend before getting on an Alaska cruise. If someone would be willing to take them to the Boeing museum and some sights + indian restaurant for lunch it will be great. I myself am not in the US.

Any references appreciated! We made a similar arrangement for them in Tokyo for their stopover and it turned out great!

My parents are visiting Japan on their way to US for 4 days. Anyone aware of a Hindi speaking guide who can show them around in Tokyo, help with finding their way, etc? they at 70+ but very excited. Will appreciate any pointers. Arigato :)

I have a free zone company in IFZA, and we have one specific employee. We are asking them to leave (proper notice) due to reasons agreed with the employee.

The employee is asking if we can delay the visa cancellation for a few months after the notice
period ends.

Any issues with this? What risk am I taking by letting them continue with my company’s visa for few months? The person is kind and I’d like to help them if possible, but I don’t want to get into trouble or take unnecessary risks too.

I’ve been porn free for 500+ days, and honestly, at this point, I’m over “the early days challenges”:

1. No/minimal urges for hardcore porn - easy to control them
2. No issues masturbating without porn, and also without thinking about porn. A bit like the days before the internet TBH.
3. Urges for “fancy sex” significantly reduced - this was a surprising side effect. I thought I “needed” the stuff depicted in porn for myself too, and my partner being more “ordinary” in her sexual preferences was a reason to feel unfulfilled. My satisfaction with my sex life has increased dramatically.
4. No superpowers unlocked, still the same boring guy.

Now for the challenge:

1. My sensitivity to provocative material has significantly increased, especially if I haven’t ejacuated in a couple of days
2. Due to this, SFW suggestive material on instagram/reddit is a challenge. I do not visit any NSFW stuff, obviously, but even slightly “suggestive” seems to give similar dopamine kicks like porn used to (maybe not as intense, but it does)
3. When I used to consume porn, this stuff was too bland to do anything for me, or would just act like a trigger to consume porn. but now it gives me a kick.
4. And this is where the challenge lies. Technically all of this stuff is completely SFW, and I’m not consuming porn, however somewhere I feel this goes against the “spirit” of the exercise. The underlying idea is to get off the dopamine addiction.

[edit] 5. The dangerous part: This behavior can also become addictive, where your brain asks you to go seek out suggestive stuff on social media. I noticed these urges with myself and therefore I’m posting here.

I know what needs to be done. I need to ignore those posts consciously. However it is a bit frustrating - that this stuff comes hunting for you even when you’re not seeking it out.

Thanks for listening to my rant! Peace!
