Retirement formula 19x4x30
19x4x30
If you have 19x the first year expense in investments
If your investments are making at-least 4% over inflation
your money will last at-least 30years
Caveat: inflation/rate of return under 20%

Focus -
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” - Steve Jobs

Briyani compatetion
Initially
I am thinking
We order 5 briyanis from 10 restaurants on a specific day
Bring it to one place and have blind tasting and grade them
That can be easy way to kick off - low cost, run it at one of our homes....
---
Benefits of this
1) This is less expense
2) No risk of people getting sick of peanut or things of that sort
3) We learn to run the event
4) We learn to rate the briyani (I suggest we give 10 tokens to each person, they get to vote on the one they like. Allow more than one vote per dish too)
5) How to ensure, people do not know the place where the biriyani was picked
6) How to keep them somewhat warm until it is rady to taste
Challenges in actual biriyani contest
1) We need to collect money from contestants
2) We need to give prize
3) If we run it in public (park) area, we have to get food preparation/sale permit from county
So, rating briyani from restaurant will be first step before we go out with our own chef
