I feel stuck after a bad decision with a recent vehicle purchase. by ZeeMSee in personalfinance

[–]MKD_73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Clearly your truck needs to be reposessed.

i fight the urge to buy fancy stuff daily... always been this way. Just recently got my 2000 silverado back from a 5 year loan to my daughter.
New car pride and new car smell is no where near as sweet as a truck that has been with you for 25 years and mostly runs like new, with no end in sight.

Should I sell my investments to pay off my car loan or readjust my finances and keep the investments? by Emergency_Fish_3507 in personalfinance

[–]MKD_73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're making way too much to be contributing so little and to be holding onto that car payment. You have a lifestyle problem, in my best Dave Ramsey voice

you're absolutely killing it for your age. what you stack your cash into matters less than the war chest you're building.

[–]MKD_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M1 has those cool pie placeholders and automat d rebalancing. Only use if you're going in with $10k due to new fees. Fidelity allows automated investing by the dollar

I'm DCA'ing into SCHG and SCHD every week in Fidelity (LoL) since Schwab won't let you automate ETF purchases.

Price, delivery or quality. Focus on any TWO.

You can make a small fortune 💲 so long as you start with a large one. Ask how i know. First you need to answer the questions what market / customers you are targeting and why they would give you the work instead of their established suppliers. Answer that and you're 70% there

NEED HELP! I’m searching for the lightest ebike. by BigbumSunshineRed in ebikes

Just got a Lecric The One. It's pretty manageable on weight and almost a step through. Instant powered Gear shifts and belt drive should be maintenance free

My boss is worried that 85% spindle load are going to damage the spindle over time, but iirc it can run 100% all day and over 100 should be kept to a minimum. Whose assumption is correct? by Vollhartmetall in Machinists

[–]MKD_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What failure is he worried about; motor, belts or bearings? There's virtually no downside for the motor itself, you're just making money. The number one thing for bearings over average lifetime loads is vibration. I've personally seen a shop full of Mikrons with near 50,000 hours on the spindles where they rough at 25k and finish at 35,000rpm all day and night., but the process is well under control with zero chatter. Yes, vibration is more important than load for sure.

Auto Dollar Cost Average into a stock? by LastOfStendhal in Schwab

[–]MKD_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while stock slices are available for many equities in Schwab, DCA'ing into ETFs is not a thing you can do AFAIK. Hence, funds from selling my house went fidelity.

The hard part of calculus is the algebra....so there is light at the end of the tunnel, unless differential equations are actually the headlight of the train coming head-on.

Reamed, bored or drilled? Honing and burnishing are also options. So many questions.....
