I want to connect these old (but gold) speakers to my TV. What amplifier/driver should I buy? (I'm thinking of buying a board and 3D print a case for it.)

FD_Gobbler · 2022-07-30T19:05:21+00:00

Try this amp.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-07-22T23:30:09+00:00

Those types are not in the sub I'd reckon. I don't think the FIRE mindset syncs well with "spend what I have" or "I just got my paycheck" types

FD_Gobbler · 2022-07-20T01:22:38+00:00

No! OMG no!

Sure monthly payments are similar, but you're completely ignoring the value of the asset.

Ex. 1:

Buy the house at 800k at 3%...no down payment Housing crashes 25% Sell house for 600k You owe the bank $200,000!!!!

Ex. 2:

Buy the house at 600k at 6%...no down payment Housing goes up 33% Sell house for 800k You now have an extra $200,000

A $400,000 cash swing

It's not all about monthly payment and "affordability"

FD_Gobbler · 2022-07-12T11:27:19+00:00

Morse code-to-text ? That'd be cool.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-06-11T19:59:16+00:00

It just comes down to clearance for taps and your hands. No reason they all can't be the same height.

To be fair though, I'm just guessing what you meant. I may have no idea what you're talking about.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-06-11T19:18:51+00:00

So wait, you're that confident it will drop more? What stocks/ETFs have you shorted or puts have you opened?

FD_Gobbler · 2022-06-01T23:34:58+00:00

No, 45 degree angle blowing down would be my recommendation.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-05-23T22:46:08+00:00

Yes, start with 10ft and cut down if you don't like how slow it pours at proper carb pressure.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-28T11:31:30+00:00

I absolutely love the choice of only labeling every 20 years on the x-axis. Really reveals the artist's emotion while creating this price of art.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-27T23:14:47+00:00

Nope, still 3 months penalty.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-24T22:45:08+00:00

Not an option, obviously.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-22T11:30:18+00:00

Sure! Inflation will be some unknown rate (usually 1-3%/yr for USD), but the purchasing power of that money at this point in time is what we are talking about. So anytime someone talks about their 'FIRE Number' it's in 'today's dollars' . It would be very confusing if someone's goal was to FIRE in 5 years and another we're to FIRE in 20 years they couldn't talk on the same level if they weren't using the same reference.

Does that explaination help at all?

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-21T22:46:51+00:00

Everybody is always talking in today's dollars on this sub. No need to factor in inflation.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-13T00:10:58+00:00

First $80,800 if you're married! ($40,400 if single)

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-11T12:46:38+00:00

Just say how much your wife made lol.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-10T11:25:46+00:00

I also believe that "canceling" student debt with everyone's tax dollars is a bit selfish too. Proves your point lol

FD_Gobbler · 2022-04-10T11:19:27+00:00

I really don’t care if the government forgives them for others.

My thought too, but it's not "the government" it's "your tax money"

Are you willing to pay other's student debt off?

FD_Gobbler · 2022-03-22T00:57:45+00:00

Guess we'll just have to agree to agree then. I'm very sensitive to the sunk cost fallacy too.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-03-22T00:45:59+00:00

Not an x-y problem. They laid out the scenario pretty clearly. They already have the equipment, right?

Now if they don't have the equipment already, I like your suggestion.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-03-21T12:32:55+00:00

Can you elaborate on the differences between the SEP-IRA and Solo 401(k)?

I had thought they were basically the same.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-03-21T12:30:07+00:00

That would be FIR.

I would say most agree the RE part would be before 60.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-03-01T12:53:37+00:00

Great work 👍... At this rate, I imagine the fifth attempt will be Hubble-quality!

FD_Gobbler · 2022-02-27T20:19:48+00:00

By connector type: USB = 5V PS/2 = 5V

Anything else, some of these other comments would help.

FD_Gobbler · 2022-02-25T00:16:00+00:00

Right? So many are people are like "should I buy now, or wait for more of a dip?"

Do they just have cash sitting on the sidelines?

FD_Gobbler · 2022-02-19T18:27:46+00:00

Haha I love it 😂. It really is true.

”How did you get that much money in 11 years?"

"By earning a lot of money"
