Has anyone seen a really big version of a swing designed for grown-ups? I'm wondering if a longer chain might be a little more thrilling for adults.

This is fascinating!

I'm with you. These kind of images stay with me forever, particularly at 4 o'clock in the morning.

I'm very experienced at UI/UX and suck at programming, so I'm happy to help you out. (I might need your help too one day!)

Sorry to be that guy, but is there a text-only way to read this article? I just can't handle the images, they're haunting me.

I bought an Apple Watch last fall in what I assumed was a silly, tech-geek pursuit of getting in shape. Surprisingly, the Activity app (the one with the rings) has completely transformed my body. I know all the tricks it's using to motivate me, but damn it, it works. I make sure to close my rings every single day and it shows: I've lost weight, gained noticeable muscle, and went down a notch in my belt. Oh, and I've heard it also tells time.

You should try it out, I'd love to know if it works as well for you as the spreadsheet version you're using!

good luck, everyone!

Sure, you could liquidate your investments if need be, but you'll get hit with high short-term capital gains taxes if you sell equities you've held for a year or less. If held longer than a year, you'll pay long-term capital gains taxes, which are substantially lower.

If you meet the income requirements (>$116k if single, >$183k if filing jointly), you can contribute up to $5,500 per year into a Roth IRA which can also double as an emergency fund if need-be. You can withdraw all your contributions with zero penalty anytime for any reason. You just can't withdraw your earnings on those contributions without a penalty.

Hey man, I'm building something similar, I'd love to chat about it with you. Used to work at Intuit, came up with this idea, I've been working on this for 5 years, full time for two.
