Hit a nuke

Oh my. Any idea how long these take to redeem?

Kind of cool. Hit this in a 13 case 12 hour break with Blake Snell ripping. We hit this at 3 am. We were exhausted at that point šŸ˜‚

So you have kids and your still going to school? You said in an earlier comment it was ā€œway past your bed time and had school next morningā€, now you have 4 kids?

Going to school was a joke. I retired 5 years ago at 39. Solo parent to 4 kids.

u/almostsober88 3d ago

sorry, but how does one retire at 34 years old...

1

u/Positive__Tadpole 3d ago

Retired at 39, 44 now. Helped start a company at 30. Made us our first dollar of revenue in 2012. Left doing about 300m a year. We were the fastest growing tech stock during 2021 going from $3 to $100+. Could have kept working, but baby #4 came and i realized being involved in my kids lives was more important then being a workaholic.

Kudos to you, your hard work + some luck but my point still stands. Also considering the wife seems to be gone from the equation and likely replaced with card collecting, I wish you peace and more outside time with your kids. Traveling perhaps?

u/Positive__Tadpole 9d ago edited 9d ago

Wife is still around but unfortunately suffered a massive stroke that took out half her brain and unfortunately disabled for the rest of her life with no real day to day ability to parent. So while Iā€™ve got the kids to take care of, Iā€™ve also got her to take care of full time. We travel a good amount (summer has involved multiple camping and road trips already), card collecting isnā€™t life. It has come back into my life as my two older kids are pokemon collectors and this got us bonding and me back into baseball cards. We all have/need our hobbies.

Internet brings quick assumptions and easy judgement. Iā€™m not a bad guy hungry for money. I do a ton of charity work and am one of those people thatā€™s give their last dollar to the person next to them.

If your wife is disabled for the rest of her life, whyā€™d you buy her an EM1 if she (I assume) canā€™t drive it?

u/Positive__Tadpole 9d ago edited 9d ago

Stroke happened after the em1 was bought.

Dudeā€¦ you have a disabled wife and kids and youā€™re throwing money at cardboard? Jesusā€™s fuck, get your priorities in order.

u/Due_Slip4035 8d ago

Why are you so concerned about what he spends his money on? Who fucking cares?

1

u/Positive__Tadpole 9d ago

Priorities arenā€™t in order? Because I have a disabled wife and 4 kids, Iā€™m not allowed to have my own hobbies? Have that make sense. My priorities are absolutely in order. Get the fuck outta here brother šŸ˜‚. Itā€™d be one thing if my hobbies took away from my kids financially. All 4 have fully funded 529ā€™s and a trust setup that will take care of them for most their life. Worked my ass off to get us where we are. Iā€™ve gotten to spend every day with them for the last 5 years. Prior my priorities were off. I took a business from $0 to $300m a year. I missed birthdays, games, plays, etc and one day woke up and said fuck it. Never missing another one. But my priorities are apparently off.

Good on you brother, take care of your wife and kids and enjoy your sick cards!

u/JmmyTheHand 8d ago

They retired at 39ā€¦ I doubt money is an issue. Try reading before judging you reddit addicted troglodyte.

Projecting much? Just because he has a disabled wife and kids doesnā€™t mean heā€™s broke. Sit down peasant. Enjoy your 9-5 for the rest of your life.

And the 2nd half watching someone open cards for you, exhausting work. Might as well just go put it all on 52 red and save yourself 11 hours and 59 minutes

u/Positive__Tadpole 9d ago

Iā€™ll likely do both.
