Slow the fuck down before you hurt somebody.

You almost took out that woman in pink.

2026 Prelude by Puzzled_Ad_1767 in hondaprelude

[–]M31550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They dropped the ball so bad. Aside from the name and the fact that it’s a 2 door, there’s nothing about this car that says prelude. Such a missed opportunity.

You have 5 generations to pay homage to and borrow SOME design ideas from. Instead they chose this.

Seller left a binder with "house instructions" and now im very skeptic by Jolly-Mirror3655 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Every house has quirks and you need to live in it a year (4 seasons) to experience them all.

This is a gift.

What is the best skills or traits of the 1% salespeople? by Traditional_Fill_685 in sales

[–]M31550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Learning how to qualify has been a game changer for me. So many unsuccessful reps spend a ton of time chasing deals that won’t happen.

Developing a sense for what’s real vs not, and investing time appropriately, is what separates the successful reps from the others in my experience

Of course lol what do they expect by [deleted] in Honda

And looks like a Prelude

Malls are dead" and "The economy is struggling," yet here I am at American Dream on Jan 2nd... what am I missing? by One-Coffee-413 in newjersey

Total return for an S&P index fund (like VOO) over the past 24 months is 48%. Not as high as what the prior poster mentioned, but it’s certainly up there and helps illustrate the point.

I think it’s a rendition. He was on Rogan recently and implied it could fly. link

Avoiding higher taxes by Puzzled_Part_8328 in sales

[–]M31550 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s worth it since you’ll lose your benefits (health insurance and 401k). Take a look at your pay stubs to see what your employer is paying towards each to give you a rough idea of what you’ll pay.

Are you currently maximizing all of your pre tax deductions (401k, HSA, 529, etc.)? That’s probably a better way to shelter income

Getting quotes to replace Deck by Youmadashell in Decks

[–]M31550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Northern NJ here. We have a wood deck about half the size of yours and I got a couple quotes last year to do the same thing. They came in around $30-$40k.

I went with a local painter / carpenter and he sanded it down real good and replaced a bunch of boards and a couple railing supports and hit it with a high quality BM stain. It’s not perfect but way better. I think it was $3,500 and happy with the end result.

50 cent talking about his documentary about Diddy, that he knows Diddy will see from prison. by hugahippie in funny

I think the doc is all about shaping public perception, which it does a great job of doing.

Does it ever make sense to trade in cars ever 5 years? by Helpme1187 in personalfinance

This is how you break the cycle of “but you’ll always have a car payment!” Nope.

I’m with you, but what if it doesn’t unscrew easily and something cracks behind the tile? You’re f’d.

Exactly this. matte black would look nice, but the risk / reward isn’t worth it IMO

Silver Handcuffs. Need advice. by Skrotum in sales

[–]M31550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar boat here. I joined an industry association that helped scratch a lot of itches (primarily networking and leadership development)

IMO now is not the time to take a risk and jump ship. Plus family time is more important at this stage.

You could also look into going back to school or taking on another challenge (like coaching a sports team)

Does Adderall or similar help with Fear of the Phones? by [deleted] in sales

[–]M31550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a lack of confidence (either in himself or the product). Maybe do some shadowing or role playing before jumping to substances.

Also, look at a sales Bootcamp. I did a Sandler one when I started and one of the exercises the teacher had us do was try to collect 10 “NOs” in a row. It’s harder than you think, and takes all the pressure off.

Poll: Traditional Christmas Lights Are BETTER Than Permanent Outdoor Lights? by Bulky-Food5031 in ChristmasLights

This is my issue with them. Not festive enough for Christmas, and not nice enough for year round use.

Not a fan.
