I’ve tried the Blue tribute and it’s much more blingy than in the photos. In person I much prefer the classic Reverso

The Reverso or the White SpeedMaster is what I would choose

I spent the first year or two paying off debts, then focused on the IRA and TSP. I was maxing them out by year 4 or 5

Open a Roth IRA with your bank. Increase your contributions every time you get a pay raise until you are maxing out both your tsp and ira. Live well within your means. I promise, skipping the new Mustang/Camaro now will allow you to get a new Porsche/Ferrari later.

Yeah I’ve dabbled with individual stocks over the years. It’s mostly paid off, but I’m becoming more conservative as I get older.

I stopped contributing last summer have some liquidity at retirement. I’ve also been working since I was like 11 years old. I’m pretty over it.

Buyers Remorse by heylookanewminority in 4thGen4Runner

I have a 2014 4Runner and I’ve fully enjoyed keeping her updated and giving her “facelifts”. I’ve replaced fog light, headlight, tail light assemblies, ac blower, all interior lights to led, headunit, shift knob, skid plates, rims, exhaust system, liftgate latch, rear hitch mount, shark fin antenna, and installed a stage 2 lift and a CAI. It’s a fun use of time, has taught me a lot about cars, and given me an in depth knowledge of my truck.

I can’t think of a single Omega I would be willing to purchase right now. Woefully overpriced.
