@live_well_co The first step to putting goals into motion is to write down what actionable step you need to take every day. #inspired

Picking up development again after many months hiatus. So much catching up to do... 😱

Getting pulled down by 3 or 4 star reviews from players that love the game, but want more levels... 😐

@tymebankza @ratecompare @JuteRichard @FrugalLocal This site really shows the absolute value of your offering, since you would eclipse all other options!

@CaliaDomenico All animals are dogs, except cats.

@umutkatirci A cylinder would have been smarter.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

As a solo indie dev, the challenges of doing things part time can really add up. You wan't to focus on dev work because time is so limited, but player support, game marketing, and other admin type things like budgeting and accounting also require attention.

@Andre28071990 Shouldn't be. It's normally a symptom of some underlying issue.

As a modern day developer I lost no data when my hard drive recently failed, but gosh it's still a massive inconvenience!

In the latest 9 Letter Jumble newsletter I dive a bit deeper into the early development choices around selecting a base dictionary.
Some background changes to the way this dictionary is used is being finalised presently.

@FrugalLocal - Let's see what is the best product / strategy.

- If you do RA's this way they undoubtedly form part of any sound strategy.

- Yeah, but people generally don't use them that way so they're not that good.

- Uhm, okay?

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@FrugalLocal You could do a combined strategy where your source of income changes at 55. Baby and bathwater comes to mind here.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@FrugalLocal That's quite an understatement. You get massive tax breaks, then pay 18% marginally, then 26% etc. Your effective tax rate will likely be single figures, but you approximated that as 36% flat.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@therealunskinny @Magda_Wierzycka Much much much more expensive.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@FrugalLocal 65yo can get 122 300 annuity + 34 500 interest + 40 000 cap gain income annually for 16 400 pm before paying a single cent income tax. After that income is taxed at 18% marginally.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@FrugalLocal At a much much lower rate than your current marginal tax rate, and after years and years of compound growth on the free money. You don't even have to pay tax at all if you use it in combination with capital gain and interest income and if the household is funded by two people.

@FrugalLocal @daniele_xyz @sygnia R11.55 to the dollar on 1 Jan, R15.55 on 31 Dec.

[Twinc Apps @TwincApps]

@XKSoftwareDev The left ones pop better. Top or bottom was almost a coin toss for me. :-)
