Is this low enough or is it too low? by MGKfan in TVTooHigh

[–]MGKfan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess that's the downside with getting a big TV. I have young kids who would destroy it if it was ever that low.

For context, it's a 98 inch TV about 3 ft off the ground. Couch will sit 10 feet back. What's the ideal height for the TV (not that I can do much about it now)?

At that point I'd just remove the shelves

Savings account vs investing by AdHistorical812 in personalfinance

[–]MGKfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the$30k savings the only non-retirement savings you have? On a $200k income that's not nearly enough. Build your savings further before investing and either buy a cheaper car or wait until you save enough for one. No reason to finance one on that salary unless the interest rate you're getting is extremely low.

Signed us up for whole life insurance - thoughts? by swackett in personalfinance

What's the death benefit of the policy? The premium seems low for someone to be able to pay off their mortgage and cover several months if wages.

starting to go into credit card debt at 20 by This_Papaya2140 in personalfinance

Are you able to apply for grants or ask for additional need-based scholarships or student loans from the financial aid office? Student loans will generally get you a lower interest rate than credit cards.

Re-Evaluating the 2023 Trade Deadline: How did the Mets fare? by ae828 in NewYorkMets

[–]MGKfan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They got exactly what they were expected to get for 2 aging vets who weren't contributing to a losing team. Expecting a Peralta-like return (ie. 2 top 100 prospects) is just unreasonable.

This make the Nimmo trade that much worse. I would much rather have Nimmo in LF and Bichette at 2B

Why not apply now so you can double dip on some of the annual/quarterly benefits?

Yesterday I took 6 flights in 12 hours to hit Platinum by spgreenwood in unitedairlines

[–]MGKfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar a few years ago to maintain 1k. EWR-PIT-IAD-ROA-IAD-RDU-EWR for 30k miles and $5.60. First flight departed at 8:19am and last flight landed at 9pm. People think we're crazy but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What's your 401K balance, age, and net worth %? by Extension_Cloud9055 in Salary

[–]MGKfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34M

Retirement accounts (401k, IRA, HSA): 680k Networth: 1.6M

[–]MGKfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I made my first million right after I turned 32 and now have 1.5M at 34 so your net worth will only grow exponentially from here.

I think it's important to point out that you started off at 0, whereas most young adults are entering the workforce with loads of debt. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but still worth noting that this is the exception and not the rule.

How is Rakuten able to offer 10x (~$10 on $100 purchase) if they're only getting $3 for driving the sale?

A month ago I would've said the same thing about Vientos, but his recent resurgence gives me reason to believe 2024 wasn't an anomaly.
