Not a vegan, but I don't think I've ever heard a vegan say that. We've all watched nature shows. Rationale is usually a little bit deeper. Overconsumption, abuse of animals in meat/dairy industries, responsibility of humans to aim for a higher level of morality than animals, etc. Sure some go overboard, but I wouldn't underestimate the complexity of the thinking behind it.

Compensation of certain individuals (e.g., officers, key employees, highest paid) is required to be reported on the public disclosure nonprofit tax return (Form 990). This site makes them easy to find, but the most recent filings can take a while to appear. You can visit or contact in writing any nonprofit directly and they are required to provide their public Form 990 to you.

That makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the sanity check.

Planning to sell in taxable this year to raise cash so I can max out traditional 401k. Will be all long term capital gain and my calculations have me wringing out a few extra thousand in tax savings. Trick is going to be selling and buying (similar but different indices) at the same time to stay in the market since workplace doesn't always buy precisely on payday and taxable holdings are all ETFs (versus mutual funds in 401k). More trouble than it's worth? Wish I made enough to max out without selling, but that's a topic for another day.

Depends on the school.

I usually do two clicks shy of max warm. Wife prefers it cooler though. Will have to compromise.

I might wash my car myself this weekend.

Life is a bit busy right now with work and family, so I rarely find it convenient to devote more than a single sense to media. If my eyes are busy (driving, running, flossing...), I will listen to documentaries and science shows without video. If my ears are busy (working), I will put videos on my second monitor and mute them.

I will probably just keep working and saving to maximize the chances that my kid never has to answer to a boss for shelter, food, and health.

But after achieving FI, work should take on a new feel since my family and I won't depend on it to survive.
