  • I know this is just a meme, but I think it’s an important clarification: The rule of thumb is ~6 months’ worth of expenses, not salary. It really is important to hold you over in case of sudden job loss, since it takes most people 3-6 months to find a new job (but it doubles as a fund for genuine emergencies too, which can save your ass for stuff like unexpected medical or vet bills).

    But unfortunately, lots of people live paycheck to paycheck, so for them, a month’s worth of expenses is the same thing as a month’s salary…





  • For the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:

    • Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
    • Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
    • Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
    • Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
    • Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
    • Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)

    Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.





  • Both Bitwarden and KeePass are very secure, certainly much better than something like Lastpass…

    Bitwarden’s server and client are open source and completely E2EE (similar to Signal, the server is zero-knowledge). And even if you don’t trust Bitwarden’s official server, you can host your own.

    KeePass is fine too, but it doesn’t have a centralized server like Bitwarden. You have to use other tools to sync your vault between devices. Which some people prefer, but others dislike. Just depends on your preference.
