I'm currently wondering if there is a better solution than passing this scope to the lambda-function via the parameter 'e' and then passing it to 'funkyFunction' using call()-method
(Minor question aside: I'd been reading something about memory-leaks in javascript. How does the lambda-function affect my memory? Is it better to define it first like var i = function(e)... and then passing it as a parameter to setInterval?)
As for your question about memory leaks when using this functionality: it is not so much the problem with using setInterval as it is with anonymous functions in itself.If you use a reference to an object inside a lambda, this reference will keep the referenced object in memory for as long as the anonymous function exists. I think the function is destroyed with a call to clearInterval.
I don't think there is any benefit from assigning the function to a variable first, on the contrary, it will create another variable containing a reference that will not be garbage collected as long as the anon func exists...
From the parking area on Route 211 run downhill for 1 mile to the Buck Hollow Trailhead. Take the Buck Hollow Trail 0.25 miles to the intersection with the Buck Ridge Trail. Take a left onto the blue-blazed Buck Ridge Trail and begin the steep ascent. At the top of the ridge, make a right onto the yellow-blazed Hazel Mountain Trail (mile 4.0). Stay on the Hazel Mountain Trail until you reach Hazel Mountain parking area on Skyline Drive.
Continue north on the AT, descending into Thornton Gap where restrooms and a snack bar are available in season. This is mile 7.6 of the run. Continue on the AT, crossing Route 211 at mile 7.8, and begin ascent up Pass Mountain. In 1.3 miles pass the trail to the right to Pass Mountain Shelter. (You will return on this trail at the end of the run. If you want to end the run early, take this trail 2.9 miles down to your car.)
Stay on the AT for 1.8 miles, arriving at Beahms Gap (mile 10.9). Cross Skyline Drive and continue on the AT for 5.6 miles to a short side trail to Elkwallow Wayside, where there is a convenience store and snack bar in season.
What you do is up to you, but you shouldn't rely on these directions alone; they are often not specific enough to navigate by, and may be incorrect or out of date. Review a map beforehand and carry it with you. Tell a friend where you are going and when you plan to return. Do not count on having cell phone service while on the run. The VHTRC is not responsible for your welfare on any of these runs. If you go on one of these runs and get lost, run out of water, get injured, mauled by a bear, or die, or if anything else goes wrong, it's your fault; not ours. You assume all risks here and the VHTRC assumes none at all. Legal issues aside, some of these runs are more remote than others and the VHTRC is not suggesting that you do any of these runs, unless you are prepared to accept full responsibility for yourself.
All in all, I would have earned at least $1 million since then. And assuming Mrs. Money Mustache had kept working, she would have earned close to that amount as well. $2 million before tax, which would have gone straight to the bottom line and compounded since income from investments was already covering our expenses as of late 2005. In short, as we added that income to our existing savings, we would be ridiculously wealthy by this point.
But yet many of these coworkers, most of whom are older than me and were already working before my career, continued throughout my career, and are still doing it seven years and counting after my career, still somehow need to work, according to their own accounting. Some people in this situation are even living from paycheck to paycheck.
Quite accidentally, this group of coworkers has formed a nice control group for the study of Mustachianism. They have a wide variety of incomes, but all live in the same area, so the base cost of living and the tax rates are held constant. But one participant in the study tweaked only one variable while leaving the rest unchanged: the spending rate.
Somehow, Mr. Money Mustache maintained an outwardly-normal appearance among this peer group, showing up at work in acceptable clothing, achieving similar job performance, earning an average amount, and participating in all the usual social activities, yet adjusted his spending downwards enough to make a drastic difference in his financial outcome. How could it be?
Giving out that book was very thoughtful of you. I wish someone gave me that book when I just graduated college. Though I never spent beyond my means. I spent nearly all of my income on vacations (4x a year), eating out (everyday), and shopping.
The statistical probability of pregnancy in each fertile window is 20%, so if a condom decreases your statistical risk by a minimum 80%, the chance of pregnancy in that window is down to 4%. Most rates are calculated over 1 year of use and many doctors recommend a second method of birth control in addition to condoms. It is way better than nothing.
As for the pill, if taken every day, its yearly failure rate is 1-3%. After the first month of completed meds, pills can occasionally be missed (and doubled). It takes planning and commitment, which are also characteristics necessary for successful NFP. NFP requires a huge amount of self control also because the most fertile window you have to avoid is, sensibly, the time where the sex drive peaks.
We just do the math on where we are getting our calories. Filling the belly entirely with shrimp and lobster from whole foods for every meal yields a different result than getting your organic food from Costco and eating a slightly more vegetarian diet.
I am a twenty-something just getting started with little savings, few assets and no debt. I moved across the country to a rural location for a job that essentially doubles my salary and pays for my living expenses and allows me to travel for fun multiple times per year.
You are probably already running your spending ship pretty well. Your behavior must then be contrasted with the typical person who doubles his salary, who uses it to increase his Audi rate rather than increasing his savings rate at all.
Hi MrMM !
Here is how I see it: optimization of your lifestyle has to come first, otherwise you will just increase your spending when your income increases.
Once you have an efficient lifestyle, you can work on increasing the income so that you may reach FI earlier. I say that because the numbers you show are great, but might be less great for a
For someone making $140k per year, it can be easily argued that even if the effort to increase income or cut spending is the same, there are other lifestyle reasons (simplicity, etc.) to favor spending cuts.
A key to sussing out thrift stores, find out where the people your size and style donate. I am also about a 12 petite, so I look for thrift stores that serve my demographic. My partner is a tall slender man, and he typically finds his clothes in different thrift stores.
Anyway, assuming the problem of establishing these universal expense accounts is fulfilled, I would *love* to see a year (or more) of data for thousands of people, plus all the standard statistical measures (mean, median, standard deviation, max, min). And then do the same for that bulk data compartmentalized by various demographics (region, income, race, occupation, age, etc).
I make all long distance calls free using a combo of google voice and talkatone apps. I can use talkatone to call for free over any Internet connection, using my IPad (which was a gift, I know an IPad would not be an acceptable purchase for someone in my fiscal position).
Retirement calculators show around 18 years to retirement at this rate, but I believe we will be able to do it much sooner once the kids go to school. Also, when we decide to retire, we can move to a cheaper area, get rid of our mortgage and cash in the value locked in our ridiculously high home equity.
My Macbook is 5 years old and still works great. I read somewhere that with Apple computer, when you pass the 2 first years, the product is good to go forever. Hope this is still true for the latest edition. I know some people still using their first generation iphone on the same battery without any problem.
fingers crossed ;)
I concur. We track our spending on a Google doc, including Note inserts detailing exactly what each spend was for. Getting it set up did take a few hours, which I actually enjoyed as I have a pretty good-sized fondness for building spreadsheets, but maintaining it takes no more than 10 minutes a day.
OK Jesse.. I suppose you can keep drinking your expensive wine after that careful defense. As long as you properly mock yourself for the excessive luxury, as I do with my expensive house and many bikes.
The real point I was trying to make is: people who have financial problems, or a desire to get ahead more quickly than they currently are, should not try to justify fine wine as one of the necessities of life. And I describe this rule with capital letters, because the amount most indebted middle-class people spend on wine, while simultaneously whining about their finances, is FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!
Actually, designer breeds are even more succeptible to many congenital illnesses and diseases due to the selection process for the desirable characteristics. Often, these illnesses are chronic and develop has the animal gets older.
This is years later, I just found MMM a couple months ago and am reading from the beginning, but I was just thinking about this today while walking my dog. I have never NOT had multiple animals but I decided I would probably foster once my dog, who is my heart and soul, dies. I also love my cats who I adopted shortly before starting the blog but I realize if I had to do it again I would probably have gone the foster route for them too.
