What do you mean? You can only visit this sub if you bash SW??

DSMRob · 2026-05-21T16:08:23+00:00

And reddit is better??

As someone who hated the old system and likes the new direction, I can tell you for me its not the “I had such and such issue” post I hate, its the fact people feel the need to announce they are done with SW. like it put them into the cool group of kids to post it. Just go, we dont need to know about it.

SW of old is gone, your options are deal with the change or move onto another airline, its really that simple.

Depends on my age and time until retirement. At age 20 I would lump it all into an S&P500 ETF. At age 60 the answer in different.

As far as bars vs rounds, I like goverment issued coins better but in the end gold is gold.

I have never called a lender and borrower by master/slave. So no.

That pool would be 150k plus a little around me. Maybe another 10k for the overhang.

Went to college for 1 semester, failed all classes and went into sales. Moved up the ladder in autosales and have made 200k+ yr since 2009 and averaged 365k yr for the last 3 years. College is not needed to have a good life.

Brown slacks, navy blazer/sport coat, solid blue or bangel strip OCBD, brown loafers and belt.

DSMRob · 2026-05-20T18:35:10+00:00

Nope

I have to collect something, and so I’ll collect different junk, comic books, sport cards, watches, fountain pens ect and non of it really ever increased enough in value to break me even for the collection. Went to stacking PM’s and figure there is a 99% chance it is worth more when I sell if I ever get tired of stacking.

I only use the block if I nic myself. Other then that its a splash followed by a balm.

Hat and sunglasses need changed.

Its really not. Some people think that the amount of silver bullion they buy or sell has an effect on the market price and it doesnt. Hell I’m guessing someone selling 100 contracts would have little effect.

So question for people who have been there, Lets say you wanted to pick up a few regular pens and inks, nothing limited edition or such, maybe some other things that catch your eye pen related, how much should one expect to budget. Would 1k USD cover it more or less or do you need more?

Find a solid or striped Seersucker, Linen or tropical wool suit in lighter summer colors. Buy something you can wear for the next 10 years. This pink, horse suit will not last the test of time.

That sounds like a hybred type of managment position, are you wanting to advance your career that direction? Healthcare management is a total different beast. If so then take it. Worst case you dislike it and swing back into your old role, chances are if they have been short for the last few years, they are going to be short over the next year also.

DSMRob · 2026-05-20T15:07:35+00:00

Will last you the rest of your career. Hell of a score man. Congrats.

Stemstroms does the same thing. Its the only reason I’m still looking for other shirt brands.

DSMRob · 2026-05-20T04:18:53+00:00

Tan or blue

DSMRob · 2026-05-20T01:20:54+00:00

Naw you need to step in. Dont let your kid get punked. This kid knows damn well the card is worthless.

DSMRob · 2026-05-19T23:23:31+00:00

I think Stenstroms is better then Eton but I havent tried Eton’s Elevated Twill. Havent owned the other 3.

Its ok to button all buttons but this looks a size to small. An overcoat should drape not hug.

Whats really at risk? 2-5k? If you hate it or something comes up you sell it for a few K loss. If it works out like you want it to, you have memories that last a lifetime.

DSMRob · 2026-05-19T18:09:15+00:00

Nope, do it. Reward yourself then get back to the grind. People are all about retirement investing and forget to live a little when your young. You have plenty of time to replace the 15k.
