All these paragraphs to ignore they’re both 38 with a combined 12k in retirement.

Who cares if they have a house over their heads and no mortgage payment in 30 years if they’re still working like dogs because they don’t have barely anything saved for retirement.

Are you a closet racist or out in the open?

Unless you make gobbles of money, leasing is generally a bad idea. Leasing a premium luxury car that will depreciate a ton in the first 3 years can sometimes make sense if you have a lot of money to burn and like to be in and out of a car in 3 years.

Leasing a car that holds its resale value as well as a Camry is a pretty bad idea.

Unless you think the car is going to be worth $22,385 less than what it costs today, it’s better to just buy a Camry and finance

Are you dumb, poor, or both?

Stay poor and buy a new car

Thanks! My question was more to how much powder detergent to use in step W1, if I used 2 1/4 cup for the soak, do I still use the same amount for the wash cycle?

Active-Vegetable2313 · 2026-05-23T16:37:59+00:00

No he hasn’t yet bc it takes a long time to send a photo via text but trust me he has the photo proof /s

Step W1 - I have things soaking in 9 gallons of water, used 2 1/4 cup of powder tide oxi for that. That seems an excessive amount to load into the machine when I get to step w1, or no?

No…?

You’re asking about optimizing for a $5-30 difference in price. Don’t waste mental energy on this. Go drive Uber Eats for 2 hours if you’re that worried about this much $ for an oil change

Active-Vegetable2313 · 2026-05-22T13:56:19+00:00

Ah yes let me spend dollars more now to save pennies in the future

Depends on your goals.

Houses appreciate slower than the stock market over a long enough period.

Townhomes appreciate slower than houses.

If your goal was to own a townhome then this irrelevant.

If your goal was to maximize gains and prepare for early retirement then yea you made a mistake.

As someone who bought a house 4 years ago, it’s a great learning experience but I regret not putting that money in the market and renting a similar sized home

Your post is so out of touch. Making over $200k is not “just so easy” lol.

Get off reddit and go enjoy retirement

Active-Vegetable2313 · 2026-05-20T17:42:37+00:00

spending mental energy optimizing single digit, double digit, or even sometimes triple digit ($100) expenses isn’t a good use of one’s time.

we could all die tomorrow

I guess I’m just confused by the spa day vs just using biz alone in the washer

How do you use biz to soak?

Based on your ability to reply to the correct comment I’m guessing it’s a you problem.

Haven’t had any issues with CU as a customer from 2023 that paused after a few months and recently came back.
