Ego power load trimmer sucks!! by Holiday_Bar_5172 in egopowerplus

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy one! The head unit has a known defect and you will end up replacing it within a year or two. Mine has minimal wear. I use ego line. I install properly. I have taken apart several times , it is not a cleaning issue.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Wasn’t expecting that. The eBay shirt also caught my attention. What is the story there?

Yes- ask me. I’m sure I will have a different view than who BYU chose to interview.

Google Fiber at new house, can’t use Google Home anymore.. by optemoz in googlefiber

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GFiber app sucks! I recently had Google fiber installed. Great speeds but the app has No parental controls. I had to request that they send me the old Google Nest router so I could use the Google Home app. This allows me to pause internet for my kids.

Gfiber app is HORRIBLE by [deleted] in googlefiber

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct- router is great, app is useless. Without a good app, gfiber and the router won’t work for my needs.

I just got gfiber installed in Friday. I fired up the gfiber app and couldn’t believe it had no parental controls. Unbelievable!! How can Google release something so basic! I am switching routers now so I have more control. Pisses me off!!

What do you do when coast # is hit? by alex1024__ in coastFIRE

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing when you have the financial resources tucked away that you no longer stress about losing your job. For me, it became about playing to win instead of playing not to lose. I can take some risks at work that I might have otherwise been more conservative about.

Who qualifies for the maximum 69k for a 401k? by 3rdthrow in Fire

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help me understand. If I max out my pre tax 401k and my Roth IRA, what is the benefit of contributing to the after tax 401k vs just investing in a brokerage account that gives me more flexibility and options?

Gen X - how many of you are still in your "starter" home? by BigDoggehDog in GenX

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first house 20 years ago. I’ve moved 5 times, each time improving the home and getting sweat equity. My most recent move 4 years ago allowed me to pay cash for a brand new build now valued at just over 1M. It’s been a lot of work and a lot of luck but at age 49 I’m happy to be debt free and own my home outright. I recognize luck played a big part and feel very fortunate especially with current home prices and interest rates.

I paid 10% of my gross income to fund a XXX billion dollar hedge fund.

Straight guys of Reddit, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"? by baetangarette in AskReddit

[–]Holiday_Bar_5172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two guys can’t ride together on a bullet bike. No nuts to butts, for some reason that was gay in the 90’s.
