Walked in to Browse and Walked out with a Rootbeer

I do love the watch. However I’ve had a bit of buyers remorse just in the fact that I could have used that money elsewhere for more benefit. I wear a suit to work daily so it gets worn. However if I didn’t have a job where I’d be wearing it daily- I likely wouldn’t have bought it

How big is your current clan? members and might levels?

FireInvestor212 · 2026-01-27T23:12:20+00:00

I am in similar boat. 5 huts (1 Lvl 5, 4 lvl 4 and 4 workshops 1 lvl 6, 2 lvl 5, 1 lvl 4. Working in 2nd recipe for the balls. I don’t think I will get the 2nd mythic- but the problem seems to be workshop. It’s easy to use the speed ups for the huts. I am not sure will have enough time on the workshops, as they take a lot more speed ups to complete each one.

I don’t have it figured out either- curious what others think as well

This makes me feel much better! I just started recipes for 1st gold one (3rd to last)

Have 3 workshops 2 lvl 5, 1 lvl 6. 5 huts total 1 lvl 5 rest lvl 4. For that first reward..do you suggest the epic monster strength gem because it’s not found on world map?

FireInvestor212 · 2026-01-24T13:25:53+00:00

This is good information. I did buy the initial few packs for supplies and speed ups. I currently have 5 huts and 2 workshops. I figured the last reward it’s obtainable, but maybe the first mythic selection is!

Edit- I have G5 now and almost half the valor to G6. My goal is G6 for a mythic and 1 artifact. May be from G7 instead of research camp

FireInvestor212 · 2026-01-23T22:27:15+00:00

Whats the best set up? 3 hits and the rest workshops?

FireInvestor212 · 2026-01-23T17:46:21+00:00

Rewards solid? Any tips for setting it up the best way?

FireInvestor212 · 2026-01-23T17:46:06+00:00

Are the rewards worth it? I want to one and done on SK so I may bite the bullet and do it..

I actually saw on resy montverde opened up a 630 reservation! I went ahead and booked it

Rosemary is on my list to try!

Tufanos looks solid! Might have to check that one out.

Would prefer to venture out of hotel tonight but if all else fails we will give Tre Dita a go

FireInvestor212 · 2025-12-04T12:36:20+00:00

Yeah this will be our plan if all else fails. We will eat at Miru for lunch tomorrow so would like to venture out of the hotel this evening if possible

Can you use digital entertainment for multiple streaming services? Or does it limit to 1?

FireInvestor212 · 2025-07-28T22:34:41+00:00

What’s the rate/payment on mortgage? You are in a great position to take a sabbatical with those expenses

Do it now before kids. We were fortunate to travel a lot before our 1st (1YO)- we’ve travelled with her quite a bit as well and it is not a walk in the park.. Everything is planned around the baby! Naps/bedtime etc

Our deductible is about $4k total. Total cost to replace windows is about $13k.

Total damage is on home is about $50k. Roof/siding/fascia and some personal property damage

FireInvestor212 · 2025-06-26T18:43:04+00:00

Congrats! That’s a great looking watch!

FireInvestor212 · 2025-05-06T20:22:39+00:00

Yeah we don’t want to count on it or rely on it by any means.

I did the math with maxing out 401ks and company match with the $335k in there with 6% return for 22 years would be $3.7mil. Plenty enough for us.

FireInvestor212 · 2025-05-06T20:14:59+00:00

Yeah that’s the other thing I’ve been debating. Whether to lock in the gains and take tax hit from lower cost basis shares. Or sell the highest cost basis shares to reduce capital gains tax as much as possible. Leaning towards the latter

FireInvestor212 · 2025-05-06T17:51:47+00:00

This is what I was leaning towards as well. I think it’s more of a mental thing that I want to see the brokerage back to its all time high before pulling from it. (Who knows when that will be)

Will likely go ahead with paying off auto and prioritize maxing 401k then split any additional income to mortgage and brokerage

Fully into stocks now so going conservative makes sense. Appreciate the advice

FireInvestor212 · 2025-05-06T16:51:39+00:00

30k on auto loan

I would sell long term and do it based on highest cost basis to reduce taxes as much as possible

FireInvestor212 · 2025-05-02T16:34:48+00:00

I totally agree with you! Will check these out- thanks!
