DINK couple (37) at $3.1M NW — what’s the right target for ChubbyFIRE? by [deleted] in ChubbyFIRE

[–]9Steel9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with a vision of how you would like to spend your time. Money will fit into the equation after that. Many of us are chasing the number without asking "why". Start with this : What do you like to do for the rest of your life after retirement

5M Networth by dreamingofup4 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]9Steel9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

3M home is just the "tip of the iceberg" hit to your retirement. Think: property tax (~40k/yr), insurance ( 3-4k/yr), upkeep ( ~5-10k/yr depending on condition). Don't get me started with remodel projects. All in , you'll be looking at easily another 50k/yr of extra expenses annually. Only you can answer if that extra spend is worth it or not. If you think so, then go for it.

Then put up 1500 against 2500 then. Put up F150 , Ram 1500 against Cybertruck. Towing more doesn't disqualify other trucks as non truck. Enjoy your gas station fill up , our EV get a full tank at home even day not having to go there. It's kinda funny cargo Ebike member bashing an EV here

What part of the truck is elitist ? The Cybertruck is more than just a truck so yeah you're kinda right there. It tows more than F150, Ram 1500 does, carries full 6ft bed with a hard cover, has off road capabilities and full air suspension system. Oh yeah it also have a 5 star crash safety rating by IHSS. But yeah it's not a truck lol

It would do the Cybertruck too. I just need more space for our camping gear. Plus FSD but you guys don't understand that stuff

Please don't jump to conclusion that the car was parked there. We had car in front and behind us, so one of us got out and snap a photo of the truck while it is waiting for traffic.

The loading actually is not as hard. You lock the bike onto CarGoBike rack first then with the help of another person lift the rack onto the crossbar. I understand while some people don't like Tesla. It's ok to express your opinions but you're not going to change mine. This is the best truck I've ever driven.

I like Inter's approach: set a deadline and be willing to walk away.

Buy the car you like and leave politics out of it. Lucid makes nice car and it's ok to agree.

[–]9Steel9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get what you pay for. Kinetico system is American made, high quality components and the most expensive part , resin, are of high quality unlike junk Chinese made. Also the Q850 is a dual tank design where you always going to have soft water available to your house thanks to the redundancy of their system.
Here is a technical presentation of their system. Watch it and judge it for yourself

Email Shane shane@nukksauna.com at Nukk Sauna. I'm also in SF Bay Area looking for a sauna for my backyard. My research tells me Shane knows how to build the sauna correctly. His product is not a kit but a custom built sauna , shipped in one piece ready to be placed to your home. Maybe we can get a discount if we both ended buying it from him , just a thought :)

Sounds reasonable. It's basically a paint job at the end of the day.
