With young kids I've learned quickly to plan travel days on Saturdays. Sunday is a day of rest before jumping back into the thunderdome.

What parish is that rig in?

I have an update on the 12th for 1711322605 that has a rig present in SE Vermillion parish. Scout ticket moved it from drilling to dry hole.

ETA: and another in Vernon parish, but they're at 6k as of the 12th.

I offer fractional services but not in the financial space.

It allows people to hire a senior leader on a project basis or on a consistent part time basis with a small retainer.

As someone mentioned, depends what you need.

Do you need someone to help you hire, fundraise, and ensure you don't make a catastrophic mistake as the founder/CEO? Then it works and is 1/5th the cost.

Do you need someone to run day-to-day so you can sell? Hire someone FT.

Is 1 or 2 million enough?

I don’t know, just asking.

It's not a one size fits all answer, but my 2M policy would result in my wife never working again unless she dramatically changed her lifestyle.

I'm just shocked that people have time to do this in the middle of a Wednesday.

I bought the family a new couch, stashed some cash to open a 3rd 529 account in a few months after the 3rd kid is born, and decided to add a new watch to the collection.

Curious.. what were you making? Because this matters a lot here. Were you making ~$130k too? If so, kudos for making that sacrifice. But if you were already making $250k+, much easier decision to make.

At the time about 140k. So to go from 270 combined to 140 over night was a big adjustment no doubt. About 5 months later I made a change which improved that, and things have continued to improve, but at the time we had to make some lifestyle changes.

sure, if you put your kid in a shitty daycare because you’re a broke arse or just plain don’t care about your kid.

The guys example gave the edge to a woman making >30k being more valuable than staying home.

>30k.

I put into realistic terms what a gross 30k income difference would make for daycare options.

It ain't much.

They didn't pass my long term durability test.

I had a couple poncho shirts get thrown in the trash in less than 1 year. Mostly start to going to shite in the arm pit area. Meanwhile I have orvis shirts from Costco going on 6 years with the same wear.

Just my experience. Not worth it to me.

I'm talking in practice with this exact watch. It gains 1 second a week and has since I got it.

Agree with your point, even the best regulated are 1-3 seconds a day off, but this one, this one is 1 second a week.

Don't kill the messenger, but this happens with every single reservoir in the world.
