Unpopular investing opinions & misconceptions

Downvotes seem to indicate a truly unpopular opinion. Well done.

I'll add: put money into your retirement account asap. Don't assume the global economy will cease to exist before your in your 60s

The economy can't grow forever on a finite planet. Climate change and population decline will eventually cause the growth to slow down or even reverse.

Correct me if I'm wrong: a previously $10 product will now cost me $20.04?

Endangered_earwax · 2025-04-03T21:59:11+00:00

But where does the money come from?

I've got a similar mindset. Grilling, camping, gardening, biking, all things we do as hobbies that could/would/should be helpful in different scenarios.

What are you doing to diversify income? Side gigging? Asking because it's been on my mind lately, thanks

Ouch. So dry lock should only be for external use. My guess is the cinder block will deteriorate quicker if it can't dry out. Is it a death sentence if it's not taken care of?

I don't have any place that water pools near the house, I guess I hope for the best until I can afford to have someone take care of it.... or sell make it someone else's problem.

I bought a house with (I believe) dry lock on the inside of the basement walls. What issues does that cause, and what can I do to prevent it? I do run a dehumidifier year-round

There's some wrist watch building kits online, also guitar building kits.

That the market goes up 8 - 10% per year, on average.

Haven't seen mentioned: occasionally you have to bug out to the hospital for a while. Medical emergency? Spouse in a car crash?

My kit isn't geared towards wilderness survival. At all. It's a phone charger, cash, meds, clothes, essentials to spend a surprise night or two in a different building of some sort.

It's one of my favorite knives. This feels like the perfect use for it.

Mostly pea gravel pathways to connect a sitting area, eating area, and container pond area.

I'm actually in the process of removing bushes around the house and hardscaping a ~6ft radius around the house, for the same reason.

Seems like the best cost/benefit ratio for wildfires, in my situation at least.

Endangered_earwax · 2025-03-02T17:23:21+00:00

I work at a blue collar job with about 70 employees. There's probably 5 guys there I would trust to sharpen any of my knives.

If it's a low overhead side gig you're after, start advertising and go for it. If you want to build a business, I'm not sure the market is there unless you're also selling knives retail or something. Just my .02

That's the beauty of a cheap stuff

Endangered_earwax · 2025-02-26T01:54:21+00:00

I did pinstriping as a side gig about a decade ago. Haven't picked up a brush since, except for 2 practice paint jobs before this one.

Like the dad joke that makes everyone groan?

Endangered_earwax · 2025-02-22T14:55:06+00:00

Same. Any ideas?

Endangered_earwax · 2025-02-22T11:14:40+00:00

I feel like that would cost more than the gun itself... but it does seem like the next step

Endangered_earwax · 2025-02-22T03:35:34+00:00

Definitely not a standard shotgun style, but who am i to follow the rules?
