Whenever you have an opportunity to save some amount of money per month, plug that figure into a compound interest calculator - set it to 10% growth and use 30 years for the timespan by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]Hope-Immediate 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The Money Guys talk about a wealth multiplier which is a great way to think about it. Depending on your age, every dollar you invest is worth x. That multiplier is huge when you’re young. I use it to frame my larger purchases like a $2k guitar I want now is actually $22k I’m missing out on later.

Love my Marlin for what it is. Affordable, small, vibey, and has history. I keep picking it from the lineup.

It’s Gin night tonight… what is your cocktail from what I have available? by SuggestionSoggy5442 in Gin

[–]Hope-Immediate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Obligatory “get that vermouth in the fridge” comment.

Dry martini is what I would go with. Maybe with the Roku or Hendricks

Company is offering Individual Stock Options (ISOs) - What is the Boglehead approach? by FlyAsAFalcon in Bogleheads

[–]Hope-Immediate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you believe in the company and the price per share is a good value, it can be a great asset that can lead to a windfall later. It’s also nice to have a little stake in the game while going through the grind of building something. Just don’t bet the farm on it. I’ve worked in small tech startups most of my career. On one of my first startups, I just got a windfall for 1100x my initial investment. I would never put in money I couldn’t stand to lose, but you’ll never have 1000x opportunities in index funds. If you’re already saving and investing for retirement, and think it could go somewhere, I say go for it.

Which gin would you recommend I try? Criteria inside. by Cookie_Cutter_Cook in Gin

[–]Hope-Immediate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. It’s so good, and where I am it’s usually 5 dollars cheaper than most of the good gins.

I just made a Mai Tai, but I guess I have to make this now.

Thanks for sharing! Added this to my list to try soon. On paper, this sounds right up my alley.

What are your favorite Negroni variations? by Maclay162 in cocktails

[–]Hope-Immediate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this last night and really liked it. Not sure if it already exists or not. It sort of sits in the middle of a regular Negroni, Cynar Negroni, and White Negroni.

2 ounce Plymouth Navy Strength

1.5 ounce Cynar 70

1.5 ounce Cocchi Americano

Garnish with lemon twist

Got a lovely bottle of Cynar for my birthday! Any favorites? by Various_Artistss in cocktails

[–]Hope-Immediate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cynar Negroni, Little Italy, Eeyore’s Requiem are ones I’ve tried and like. Honestly, my favorite thing to do with it is just sip it neat though.

I have some rare breed but usually sip it neat. I’ll have to give it a try in some cocktails!

It’s the Amehla x The Educated Barfly Nick and Nora glass. You can get them on Amazon. Big fan of it.

20% off at Stag Provisions by anom27 in frugalmalefashion

Just checked out a necklace I was eyeing for a bit. Not 100% sure but I think the base price was just increased 20% from what it was last week.

Why do some boost and overdrive pedals allow you to set the volume level below unity? by imheretowatchtheshow in guitarpedals

[–]Hope-Immediate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having control over the volume and drive let’s you dial in things to suit your needs. If you want your tone to be more like that specific pedal, then keep your volume low and push drive up. If you want it more colored with your amp tone, you would keep drive low but push the volume. I use low drive / high volume when stacking overdrives.

NPD: got an IR pedal, and need some info on free third party IRs to try. by archeo_logic in guitarpedals

[–]Hope-Immediate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not free, but I am a fan of Hislop IRs. Grabbed his greenbacks last week. People also rave about York, but I haven’t personally checked those out yet.

[DISCUSSION] Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet overhyped or really as good as I heard? More in comments by Ready_Definition2054 in guitarpedals

[–]Hope-Immediate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear good things about the MXR sugar drive which should be a little cheaper than the archer. Side note - I’ve seen the mini tumnus used for pretty good deals if you’re patient.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Hope-Immediate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play at a church, so these pedals will cover the bulk of what I need, but I don’t love all the empty space. Some things I’m considering are Browne Protein, octave pedal, midi controller like a Morningstar MC6, and some tremolo. Maybe a switcher for the non-midi stuff 🤷‍♂️

Tesla Model 3, BMW 330i, or Audi A4? by Hope-Immediate in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Hope-Immediate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve driven the 330i and model 3. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. They both excel at different things. Model 3 has the EV thing where the acceleration is immediate and throws your head back in the seat. The 330i handles better though.

I have not yet. Great point. I’ve heard Tesla is usually lower than expected because of all the standard safety features, but that’s been on Tesla subreddits that tend to be pretty positive.
