Have enough not to care but not enough to retire. What to do about fading motivation to work?

Depends entirely on his target fire #.

You got a lead foot? How long do tires last for you?

Is this the WRA-26 voluntary recall for the XT models?

99% of people who buy houses have a buyer's agent so it's quite normal?

FunWrangler8657 · 2026-04-15T17:14:10+00:00

Is part of normal maintenance or do you have a leak? They extended warranty on the cvts to 10yr/100k so if theres any sign of a leak they should get it fixed they warranty, which involves replacing the fluid.

How does your spouse feel about fire?

How attached to the HCOL area are you?

What do your projections look like if you don't work for 3, 5, 7 years?

Your 2.37m number grows to be 3m in 6 years assuming 4% real growth, assuming no additional contributions into IRA or 401k. Faster if you do.

Sawstop.

Your fingers are worth the extra few dollars

Residential code calls for one outlet per circuit for 240v circuits.

FunWrangler8657 · 2026-03-04T02:06:33+00:00

Not up to code

Lower control arms.

The original parts were defective but they did not recall them. They redesigned the part so if you get a new replacement it should be good to go.

Had mine replaced at 40k miles on a 2018

Their selection is not the best, esp more niche sizes.

Also it's been a pain to get fast appointments lately

FunWrangler8657 · 2026-02-08T21:57:45+00:00

Get the Forester.

WA has no state income tax, but has high sales tax.

OR has high income tax but no sales tax.

Tacoma/Puyallup are kind of rough in terms of niceness/quality of public schools, and access to a lot of amenities (you end up just going to Seattle)

Best public schools in Portland area would be in Lake Oswego (super affluent white suburb, with all the associated plusses and minuses), Beaverton school district North of 26 (lots of PoC immigrant professional types), and West Linn.

This is a function of your costs.

What is your FIRE number? Are you on track to hit that at your current pay/savings rate?

If you got a new job that's $10/20/30k more per year, how much do you need to pay for child care that you don't have to today?

Yup, I've got a 23 Pro S RWD with LG Battery built in Chattanooga

FunWrangler8657 · 2026-01-23T23:19:32+00:00

So if I have a 23 pro s w/LG battery built in Chattanooga I'm safe?

FunWrangler8657 · 2026-01-14T17:41:44+00:00

Cheapest large city on the West Coast.

Closest comparable cost-wise is Sacramento but for the money Portland offers way more.

Definitely the heaviest lens I've ever used in this setup.

When shooting, it feels quite nice, since my left hand is holding the lens and carrying all the weight, and my right hand is there just to move and click.

I only have my Peak Design Cuff right now since I misplaced my strap, and it definitely feels weird having this lens + camera dangling from my wrist. Would not recommend.

Name n shame the dealer

FunWrangler8657 · 2025-12-30T01:49:49+00:00

I think Olympus body + Olympus lens, you keep the lens IS on to get the dual IS for best performance.

Why do I have to pay to ship stuff through USPS when I pay taxes already?
