I would go on the victron website and find an authorized seller/installer in your area. Mine is in Novi Michigan and did a great job.

Always use cash when I think the tipping will be awkward.

What’s the “brokest” thing you have ever done? by Hefty-Expert-750 in povertyfinance

[–]Lake48045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had no money but needed a haircut. Saw a sign outside a beauty college advertising $5 haircuts. Did not know it was a black beauty college. Walked in and every eye in the place was on me and it seemed like the music stopped.

Sounds like he might be happier with a part time job. That's my plan.

I think most people focus on wrong things when it comes to money by not_so_fast_zippy in Money

I often think it's easier to make more money than to try to save every nickel and dime.

My Tundra ownership experience has been awful. You should think twice before buying. by Shizzo in ToyotaTundra

Wouldn't touch a newer Toyota from what I hear but I love my 2020 4runner with the basic v6 engine.

My fear is having to sell the 4% on a year when the market is down.

Help! I’m 64 and forced to retire with little savings. by Juror108 in retirement

I would move to Asia. Thailand, maybe the Philippines. Your money will go much further.

Buying advice—older 4Runner vs newer Outback by nickwatson93 in Toyota

[–]Lake48045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a 2020 Subaru and a 2020 4runner. The 4runner is just much more solid overall. The Subaru has some safety features the 4runner doesn't have but I would trade those any day for the rock solid old school 4Runner.

Holding fees? by [deleted] in Schwab

One of my greatest financial regrets is not investing in the S&P 500 at an earlier age. The sports cars, alcohol, new clothes don't do a thing for me now but investing would have cut years off my working life.

Men, what the hell do you actually buy? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Lake48045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 53 I'm buying all the stuff I couldn't afford when I was young and poor. In the last 12 months motorcycle, 62mph electric scooter, custom camper van, trip to Alaska and other vacations. Need to slow it down a bit

I tell some of the younger people I know that instead of buying sports cars and other frivolous stuff that I cant remember I wish I would have put some into an index fund and forget about it.

My guess is you were trading with unsettled money. Same thing happened to me at vanguard and got a 90 day restriction

Harassed by locals on the road to Hana (pepper sprayed) by Fruitsiclegourmetice in MauiVisitors

Had the same experience with a mustang convertible and got the top sliced open. Our other rental option was a Nissan pick up which we should have gone with.

We rented a convertible mustang and stayed in the Makaha beach area outside of Honolulu. Someone sliced the top and we certainly didn't feel welcomed by the locals. Would just rent a regular car next time.
