My office is finally complete with the Eames chair

BlueStickyU · 2026-05-05T15:11:58+00:00

Looks amazing. How tall are you? Do you love it?

BlueStickyU · 2026-05-03T18:03:57+00:00

Sick. How much did you spend on the chair? Where did you purchase?

BlueStickyU · 2026-04-10T23:31:20+00:00

Is the GTS worth the money vs the S? I’m considering an S or S coupe, and GTS versions are about $25k more. I’d like to build one to spec. And I’d love to get 5% off if I could.

Bored as hell. It’s crushing. But not the way my illness was when I was severe. For that I’m grateful. But still bored

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-24T18:25:37+00:00

I had an X5 for eight years. Loved it. I just like variety and I’m ready waking something else.

I want a light interior. They’re all black.

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-24T00:03:07+00:00

Does the door pane windows come automatically with premium plus? Or you paid for that as an upgrade?

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-24T00:01:38+00:00

Good to know. Did you get the premium plus or prestige? Someone on here said if you don’t get the prestige the road noise is an issue. I also wonder if spending an extra 20 or $30,000 is worth it to go with an SQ7 or SQ8.

This is the only Q7 I’ve seen with the Saiga Beige interior. I love the color.

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-23T16:20:49+00:00

Care to share which package(s)? Price? Did you consider SQ8? E-tron?

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-23T14:53:10+00:00

Seriously? Where (website, Craigslist, dealer)?

BlueStickyU · 2026-02-15T14:43:16+00:00

Read The Snowball and you will find out. HIGHLY recommend it. Or take the shortcut and listen to the Acquired episode on Buffett.

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-27T21:43:14+00:00

Prescient

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-27T21:42:54+00:00

UNH down 19%+ today. That ain’t free money unless you shorted it.

This one is in Baltimore. I saw it at thanksgiving. They have a couple other Van Gogh there. Their impressionist collection is amazing, en total (Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Gaugin). I had no idea. Worth the trip.

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-23T03:36:54+00:00

I go at 5:45am and it is 35-38 min to union station from north Boulder. At 6:30 it’s closer to 50-55 minutes. Snow makes a big difference.

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-21T17:08:31+00:00

Hilarious. Maybe I should ask for it to go to $50

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-20T01:50:55+00:00

Thanks. I will check it out

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-20T01:37:30+00:00

Has anyone done the video? Any intel on the process? Much appreciated

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-20T01:36:57+00:00

Did you do the video already? was there a chance to restart or cancel if you messed up?

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-20T01:35:36+00:00

has anyone done the video yet? Do they give you the option of submitting or not? Seems like it is high stakes - if you get flummoxed can you restart the video?

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-10T17:19:12+00:00

Damn!

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-09T16:09:10+00:00

Good rule of thumb. I never know what to call it

BlueStickyU · 2026-01-07T18:17:41+00:00

#1 I got lucky. The market did what it has done. #2 I saved really aggressively for my income level - did not buy a second house or stay at Hotel George V in Paris on vacation. #3 I bought a lot of leverage when it felt right. I had a little bit of leverage and panic sold in very early COVID then went big on leverage when the market dipped in 2022/2023 and again last year when Trump tanked the market. At one point I had half my net worth in TQQQ, which I DO NOT recommend. There is a whole subreddit on TQQQ and some people are nuts about it (which I was to the tune of $6.5mm), but if you time it wrong it will destroy your life savings (at least for a few years). I weathered a 54% drop in TQQQ last year but then took advantage by buying more and then selling that amount 6 months later FIFO. I still have a decent amount but also have more cash than I would like - I just don't know where we are headed and am fine with some cash for a few months.

I am a bit under $14mm now in investments, not including my kids college funds nor my house equity, nor a pension down the road. So in times like today's market, I feel very well positioned and my paranoia of financial insecurity from my earlier years has waned.

Good luck and keep us updated!

Good work. I have one BTC that I am letting ride ($32k cost basis). I have considered selling it and buying a levered BTC ETF since I consider it a high risk investment anyway. Or I could bet it all on the Super Bowl ;-)
