Thinking

Got paged last night. It's interesting. Now that I've trained myself to stay awake after an alarm, I had trouble falling asleep after dealing with it. A trade-off I hadn't considered (though well worth it).

I have recently found out that I make enough money that I can't contribute to a roth IRA, and contributions to a traditional one are not tax-deductible. This is also related to the 401K I have access to at work. I have still budgeted a max contribution for the year, and plan to do the same next year. Gains are not taxed, afterall. And 401K + IRA savings together are a good milestone, as they mark 15% of maximum possible income from job (pre-taxes and with 100% of all possible bonuses).

I should revisit my savings-rate calculations soon. That'll be a part of doing the steps in Your Money or Your Life, I think.

Time to focus on work.

Thinking

Plugged a bunch of stuff into my YNAB setup yesterday.

This'll get me part of the "Your Money or Your Life" steps for free: my net-worth graph.

I'll still need a good income vs expenses graph (it's a table in YNAB).

Also updated a bunch of things, and took my current bulk of non-index-fund savings and future-budgeted it. I have the majority of December 2019 budgeted out. It used to be tied up in maintaining the minimum balance for Chase Saphire Checking, but I realized that was basically no interest on $15,000 versus 2 percent (which is like $25 a month). Definitely not worth the perks of the account. I have switched to the lower-tier account which has no fee as long as a direct deposit of at least $500 hits it per month (and my paycheck goes right into it).

This also means no more artificial juggling in my budget to get my chase minimum budget even with $15000. The goal now is to get my budget futured out 6 months. Then back to agressive index-fund saving. Though I'm maintaining maxing out 401K fund. And will initialize the next year with a savings rate that will properly spread that out between the 24 scheduled paychecks and 4 quarterly bonus checks.

Which actually will mean a larger paycheck when the time comes, because right now I'm putting more in per paycheck than I will when the new year comes ($918 vs $696). Though at first I'll be back to social security paycheck stuff (at some point during the year I max out my social security deposits and so it isn't taken from my paycheck).

I wonder when that stopped happening this year.

Oh, no, I'm wrong. Still having social security deducted from my paycheck.

Well, that does infact mean more money in my paycheck when the new year begins. Which will mean faster achievement of six months of buffer money, and then faster saving again.

I really should plug in this laptop.

Plugged in.

(I'm sitting on the couch and watching TV while doing this thinking.)

I've updated my Betterment and Vanguard funds to socially responsible investing (SRI). The 401K from Mixpanel can't be updated, so it's staying at its current setup. When I can roll that up to an IRA, I'll update it.

Let's switch over to some Tickler processing.

I have continued my no-twitter streak... which started around the time I started using cronometer? So, we're at 2 months. Don't miss it. I have used it, but not the same way. I google names sometimes and they often have a Twitter that I look at for a bit. No browsing old timesinks. Just fleeting curiousity during exploration.

My weight has stayed steady at 209.4 most of this week. Based on my calorie-in versus calorie out, I should be around a 1.4 pound deficit this week. Makes me doubt the accuracy of the calories burned?

Well, no. If I do the same calculation over the last 4 weeks, I would expect a loss of about 5.6 pounds. 4 weeks ago I was 213.8 at best, and now I'm 209.4 at worst (based on first-time weight of the general vicinity of the time). That's pretty close. Well within error. Weight-loss is a lagging metric. I'll see how I feel after another week.

Potentially, the climbing that I manually enter burns more calories than I give it credit for, and having not climbed in the pas two weeks, it may have led to overestimating calories burned. But that feels... unlikely. More likely is the lagging indicator. The weight graph definitely shows a steady weight between sudden dips, I feel.

Anyways, I got to go grocery shopping.

Got paged in transit. Taking advantage of the free wifi at the climb gym I go to.

Thinking

The wife has been left out quite a bit these past two weeks. Today is fully hers, though I may get some personal discretion time. I'll try to update reality accurately tomorrow.

One explicit plan today is a budget date. Which makes yesterday's thinking quite valuable. I think the plan will be to slowly build up a buffer of half of what was spent into a category over the last year. Aka, basically have half a year's worth of funds based on actual spending, not ideal setups. Exceptions would be for known, predictable yearly expenses or eventual expenses, which should be paid off in full in anticipation. This includes but is not limited to:

• moving
• YNAB yearly fee
• Cronometer yearly fee
• what's left of the Invisalign payments

If we successfully manage to reduce spending in any give category, that'll slowly show progress over the year, and we can move excess funds to other locations (maybe even an index fund). This is super careful way of going about things.

However! The current stash of funds that don't live in an index fund needs to move to at least a 2% interest account. Meaning I need to downgrade my Chase account to allow a lower balance so that I can open up a betterment savings account.

I may do that right now.

This could lead to more than $300 extra interest per year, or $25 a month.

Thinking

As I've mentioned before... I think, I've developed a budgeting habit now. It clicked about a month ago, and then I read a book You Need a Budget, which is the book by the person who made the You Need a Budget app that I'm using.

I believe yesterday I realized that I was falling behind. Or at least further behind than I thought. Though some of this was due to auto-investing into betterment, which I have now stopped doing.

I want to do some thinking here to verify that I should have plenty of buffer. Without further ado.

Money Flow (average per month)	Balance
Paycheck: ($8129)	$8129
Wellness benefit: ($100)	$8229
Rent: $2400	$5829

Tucson visit: $40	$850
Christmas: $150	$700
Therapy: $100	$600
Moving: $100	$500

All right, this is average monthly flow, fairly accurately, based on definitely monthly expenses and average monthly expenses according to YNAB. I've rounded up in most-cases. Medical expenses, for instance, should start shrinking per month, I think. Though maybe I should keep budgeting $1000 a month for it. Medical expenses happen, and in a sense they're an investment, anyways. Figuring out medical issues now means they cause less friction in the future, and the wife and I can make compound interest on what is gained the sooner medical things are dealt with, however little we can deal with them to begin with.

"One-offs" are things I buy once. It seems I buy a thing "only once" about $200 worth a month. A couple months ago it was a portable AC. This month, blinds for windows. This is a "know your true expenses" sort of thing. Might as well keep putting $200 in there per month.

Groceries might actually slowly be shrinking per month. We'll see. At the rate we're going this month, it should be $400.

Coffee is an agreed-to high-number as it gives the wife an anxious-free bit of time outside the house.

Technically, I've saved up enough to pay off student loans. And I have that money in an index fund. It on-average out-performs the student loan interest, so it's a net gain. I pay the minimum per month. I'm paid ahead in case I need to stop for a little bit for whatever reason. I look at this setup as a way to reloan myself money at 3.5% interest, and that I'm actually saving $200 per month, in a sense. I think it works out. Though, once I pay off the student loans, I plan on maintaining the payment, but putting it right into an index fund. Avoid that income inflation, yo.

I have the same plan when I pay off the Invisalign.

Rent is actually pretty steep, but it was something we were willing to pay for. I have been thinking, though, at this cost, could it be worth it to buy a piece of property? There are several things to consider when answering this question:

• interest lost moving capital from index fund to down payment
• average cost of upkeep in house
• principle being paid down per month
• interest being paid per month
• fixed house payments (insurance, taxes, etc.)

So, based on what some initial research shows, I could own a similar house to what I own and have an average monthly cost maybe as little as $2000 with a $100,000 down payment. That down-payment amounts to about $584 lost interest per month ($7000 a year assuming 7% yield). Principal would be, ballpark, one sixth of the mortgage payment overall (for the first year, at least), and the mortgage payment would be something like $1700 (the other $300 towards taxes and insurance). So $280 "saved" in principal payments (in that I own that much more of the house). That's savings that won't gain substantial interest though (on average, houses grow at the rate of inflation).

But that's $680 ($280 "saved" in principal and $400 saved by decreasing monthly costs) over $584 "lost" in interest from money that would be in an index fund. Really, I guess this boils down to:

• What's the minimum house we'd be happy to live in?
• Is that house cheaper to own or to rent based on the above criteria?

I believe the wife and I can explore this question tomorrow during our budget date. As well as how malleable the above spending is.

I need to go to work now.

Thinking

I have updated my timeblock table. The way I interact with the table has evolved quite a bit since I first made the template some... 2 years 6 months ago? Something like that.

Basically, I used to think I'd make a plan and update the plan throughout the day, so I believed that multiple revisions would happen. But, that's not really how I operate, I plan ahead to get a good idea of how limited my time is in a day, and then I may negotiate the half-hour when I come to it, and also I may end up going off course. So all I really need is a "Plan" column and a "Reality" column. No multiple revisions to the plan. I may in my head have a revised plan, but it's not particularly valuable to write it down. Really, I'm playing off the original plan, and using that as a base of what's reasonable so I don't think I can do more than I can do.

For example, this week I'm opslead, and doing my usual amount of pomodoros isn't really in the cards. The plan helps me realize this. Me getting paged will interupt me, even at home, and so planning for a lot of pomodoros is actually planning for failure, in a sense.

I'm also starting off with all non-planned items up until the planning pomodoro to just be in the reality column. This makes it clearer when I started planning at a glance, and how much is backlogged. I also like having my initial morning "planned", because I'm working towards a consistency there, so that's my "plan" every morning.

Time to wake up the wife.

Thinking

Yesterday, I read My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. I quite enjoyed it. Not sure what else my thoughts are. I'm getting a lot out of reading the variety of experiences of others. Hopefully, it is making me a more compassionate human being, but who knows.

I am no longer worried about losing weight too fast. 208.4 this morning. I think I was simply low on the usual fluids over the weekend, and so it looked like I lost a lot more weight than I did. I will continue to go for 2 pounds a week, but I think I'll likely fall a bit short of that, which is preferable to overshooting, I think. I belive that as long as it's between 1.5 and 2 per week, I should meet my arbitrary goals.

I might look at my progress versus my calorie and exercise tracking more in-depth later, but for now I think I'm in a good place.

My work-logging habit has finally become consistent, I think. Everyday I update the google doc log and I even do some thinking in there when I feel I'm a bit stuck or overwhelmed by all the things to do. It's a good system, but I could make it better by having more checklists based on what troubling state I'm in, I think.

Thinking

So, neglected timeblock over weekend for various reasons. Important events of the weekend:

• Saw Joker, enjoyed it
• Finished They Called Us Enemy,
• Got The Red Book from the library, left it at the office
• Processed my tickler a bit
• Started reading Hold Me Tight, good stuff in there

Made up for a week away from wife by hanging out with her the whole weekend.

I may be losing weight too fast? I thought I was around 209 still, but over the weekend one official weigh-in was 207.6. This morning, it was 208 even. A week ago I was 210.8. I'll have to keep going for another week to see, but I should avoid losing more that 2 pounds a week. Two pounds is also plenty for my arbitrary goals (want to be below 190 by Christmas, and 2 pounds a week would put me at 185by December 16th).

Once I'm below 200 I need to get my fat percentage ratio to have a solid weight plan.

Anyways, I should focus on work thinking now.

Thinking

Planning today is proving very valuable. I know there's a desire for a meeting with some peers I work with in SF, so that hour buffer is actually for that meeting as opposed to usual expected loss of efficiency.

I'm on a new graphic novel that I spent some time reading this morning as I waited for the SF office to open. It's called They Called Us Enemy, and its a graphic novel written by George Takei about his family's experience with the internment (aka concentration) camps of the Japanese during WWII. Still have about a fourth of the book to go.

Thinking

Did I mention reading Wage Slaves? I don't think I did. It's a good graphic novel, though. About a Polish woman moving to Sweden, dealing with silly bueracacy, and unionizing at her under-the-table job. It's good. Also, unions are good.
