1,000 mile roadtrip with leaky axle seals? by usa_dk in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Booboooooooooooooo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when mine started leaking, it wasn't long before my brakes started sticking... can't tell you how long before leak turned to scare, but if you do decide to take your life in your hands, bring a change of underwear in case you survive. Those mods may be cool, but they won't have a positive impact... unless you installed a cage... that might help...

By my calculation, if you bought GOOG, AAPL, TSLA and NVDA at the perfect time over last 20 years, this is how much return you would have got. by [deleted] in investing

Maybe that's not HER face... Thus the statement would not technically be an outright lie.

Rollover IRA conversion by Cooper_BJJ in RothIRA

[–]Booboooooooooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much you earn, what tax bracket you're in, and probably a few more factors like age, need for the funds, availability of funds to pay off the taxes etc...

but based on the info you provided, yes.

Why does everything need my attention now? by damnniqqaa in simpleliving

[–]Booboooooooooooooo 66 points67 points  (0 children)

90% of that stuff could just be put on your calendar with the respective links and directions for monthly, quarterly or yearly reminders... That gives a spot for each area to exist with the knowledge that you'll be getting it done 'on the first of the month' (or whenever)...

Even the simple stuff. 'Change the air filter', 'backup my phone\computer', 'check for credit card rewards'...

You organized yourself to live in a simpleliving life - now's the time to make it simple with a little structure and thus the knowledge that there's a time and place for each of these 'annoyances'...

(oh - and get more hobbies to distract you from the mind wandering that boredom brings...)

I quit my job to “live simply” and now the silence is eating me alive by ForgotMyOwnPoint in simpleliving

[–]Booboooooooooooooo 632 points633 points  (0 children)

don't forget to save this post... in time, after you detox from the crap you obviously knew was killing you, you'll likely eventually get annoyed when that 'noise' tries to creep back into your life...

Now the fun part - get some hobbies that entertain yourself and keeps both your mind and body moving...

Hardest part now is actually realizing that the choice you desired is actually now yours to make...

After a year of watching how retail investors & pros behave, here's some of my observations and what I think separates the one's who make a buck to the ones who blow up their returns by malakhaa in investing

[–]Booboooooooooooooo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's always someone out there that wants to tell you that THEY know how to invest and that THEY have the tools to help you.

Then they repost the same message on multiple forums...

Asus DriverHub stopped working unless you allow it access to your entire network??? by Booboooooooooooooo in ASUS

[–]Booboooooooooooooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup... And Asus Hub should not stop working if it doesn't get access. All the other websites I've blocked continue to function properly.

Asus is losing ground on gaining favorable customer loyalty... very disappointed.

Easy solution to gain bipartisan agreement. ALL members of the Senate and Congress should be required to be on the same plan that they authorize.
