I know it probably won't happen but love this scene in AC. Would love to be able to do it in game
I have this Klipsch 5.1 and am largely happy with it. The only thing that isn't really hitting right, no matter how much tuning I do, is dialogue in movies. That still feels flat.
I don't think I need to upgrade the whole system to RP but moving the center up a notch seems like a good idea (currently looking at this one). But a lot of interwebs reading says the left, right, and center should be from the same line on the same brand. How crucial is that?
So we have a 3 car garage that has a two car door and single car door on the side of our house. We currently park our R1S in the two car door (and that also has all of our garage stuff) and a Mach E on the single car door
The garages are on the side of our house and the single car garage is on the right and has the tighter turn. Parking the Mach E isn't really too much of a problem in there, you occasionally have to stop and back up to straighten up to line it in. This is the car my wife drives and I want to upgrade this one to an R2 but she's worried about the parking
Based on the Mach E size comparison seems like the R2 should do just fine. But curious if anyone else is living this at the moment
For context I (M38) and my wife (F39) are well on our way to FIRE, we’re already at a Coast FIRE number I feel comfortable with. In fact if we both worked until 47-48 I feel pretty confidently we could just FIRE then. I am a software manager in FAANG and she’s a family medicine physician. But my wife says she wants to work until at least 55 although perhaps at a reduced schedule. At present we live on less than her income so this all sounds great
However in the past my wife had a severe brain aneurysm that made put her in the ICU for 6 weeks. Luckily she came out of it largely without long term effects but it’s very possible that it could have gone a very different way. It’s really warped my thinking around all the “what if” scenarios (car accidents, health issues, etc etc). We also have two young children and I obviously want to make sure that whatever we do they’re well provided for through college. My wife is supportive of me stopping working now but I feel a tremendous amount of guilt asking her to shoulder that weight. And if something did happen how quickly would I be able to get back into the work force (especially given how fast tech is changing right now)
We keep ~12 months of expenses in a HYSA that we don’t count toward our FIRE number so we will always have some breathing room. If my wife keeps working she would be able to continue to max out a 403b and 457 and after taxes and living expenses we’d like have 15-20K to spare
I know a lot this is neuroses but curious to hear from people who have FIRE’d and had big life events like that that they didn’t plan for.
