I'm not a trust fund kid, but I could safely quit my job any minute and be okay for at least a year.

I'm 28. I have a net worth over $130k and a $25k emergency fund. I make over $70k (web dev) in a low cost of living area. I am maxing out my 401k and Roth IRA every year and will be opening a taxable account this year to dump more money into. I'm a renter (2BR for $515/month not including utilities), but I am fully supporting my fiancée who is finishing her masters of accounting degree.

I still spend quite a bit of extra money on video games and board games and a few other luxuries that I could and probably should cut back on. But I don't eat out (we cook in every night) and I live a mile away from my work.

My ultimate goal is financial independence. I want to be able to live off the 4% returns of my investments and not have to work (although I probably would do something, but more for myself than a company).

I've had this happen multiple times. I find it very disrespectful to call me unsolicited at my job about another job.


I really thought that Spartan would have been a great name for the browser.


I thought so too, but consider that "E" is what most consumers expect for an icon. "Edge" keeps that going.


I was hoping for "Microsoft Browser" or something like that


With Cortana I defiantly agree.


I really enjoyed his book My Century, where each chapter covers one year of Germany, 1900-1999.


I also can recommend StackExchange Exceptional and Opserver from the StackExchange crew for logging: https://github.com/opserver/Opserver


Peeling the Onion, Gunter Grass or any other books by him (My Century is an interesting read on 100 years of Germany).


Couldn't you technically take the output of GitBook and publish to each service (Amazon, Google Books, iTunes, etc) yourself? It seems you are only paying for the convenience of them doing it for you.


Original title was: "A former Google employee claims she was reprimanded for speaking out about sexual harassment" but had to reword it meet 80 character title limit.


Thanks for the comment! We're also a Microsoft shop and I did like the VS integration with what I've seen so far. We've been using Track-it for our help desk and as a pseudo-project management system for years and it's terrible. Thanks again.
