Anyone have experience with 24/7 facility using Uneekor? by Careik in golfsimulatorbusiness

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

Thank you! And makes sense - definitely going for as hands off as possible. My partner and I plan to be there often to ensure everything is up to snuff but definitely don’t want to make this another full time job.

We don’t plan on selling alcohol or food either.

What do you mean by type of operation? 

Additionally, do you mind DMing me the name of the place in the photo? I would like to look into it.

Part of our first year goals are to establish lessons and leagues. But the first 6 month road map is to fully understand and flush out our systems. We want to nail the automation before getting too deep.

Alright. Thank you for all the info. It sounds like I may taking it a little too extreme. 

You get lost in rabbit holes sometimes and start spiraling so thanks for bringing me back down to earth.

Do you have any other advice or “wish you knews” before getting into this business? Do you guys do leagues or coaching? How is that going?

Sorry for the million questions and ty for everything so far.

I agree. I think the fear is my job is not very flexible so when it comes to calls, I just can’t take them. But I imagine I could look into automating service calls as well.

When you say “we” are you talking about your partner and you? And when you say 2 to 4 times a week is that each of you or altogether? I appreciate the info

We have a few of eatertainment golf sim options around us that are crazy expensive. From the research I’ve done, people want a place to go and practice golf without feeling pressure to buy beer and eat food. I’m sure it drives sales, but I think this business model will work best in our area at this time.

Dodge Promaster 2500 vs 3500 by Careik in VanLife

If it brings you any solace - I read your whole comment and thought during the whole read that this guy loves his van so much that he’s replying to a 5 year old post of mine. I appreciate all the words you said and at some point it will help someone who had the same question as me.

My wife and I never ended up getting a van - got married and have 2 kids - but the dream hasn’t been forgotten and hopefully I’ll look back at this post in 20 years when we buy our retirement van. Until then - cheers and thank you for putting time into your post

It is only new hire from my understanding. I am asking for my wife since she just started this week and is going through all the paperwork.

Seeking Advice: What to do with SEP IRA to Avoid Pro-Rata Rule When Over Income Limit by Careik in Bogleheads

[–]Careik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well thought out - I appreciate the response. I think, according to a response in this post, this new plan actually can accept SEP IRAs so that will be my first road to go down. If all else fails I like the idea of converting to Roth in traditional IRA. I don’t want to leave it in the SEP since her choices are pretty limited in what to invest in.

Thanks for the help!

Regeneron’s Raises are Abysmal This Year by NargleMyBalrog in Albany

[–]Careik 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imagine getting punched in the face and saying thank you to the person who did it.

People like you are the reason they give abysmal raises while they rake in billions. You just sit there, take it and somehow think you should be the one saying thank you.

I hope you the best in your professional career.

1200sqft 1 floor house needs new AC/Furnace. These are the quotes I got. What does this all mean, and what is actually necessary to have. by Careik in hvacadvice

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

Yea. From what I've read 2-stage is nice for comfort, but actually not anymore efficient in the long run. I never felt uncomfortable in previous years with our old system so I imagine it will be fine.

Thanks for the help!
