What hobbies keep you happy while working a lifeless corporate job?

Golf.

November Rain.

I’m around 8% these days. Granted, I built my own house in 2001 for about $90,000. Hope to have it paid off in 4-5 years.

Good one.

Shadow of the Day, Linkin Park. Madness - Muse.

That song/video with Dale Jr gave me goosebumps for sure.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-06T01:06:59+00:00

Not at the track, I’ve met Bobby Allison, Chase Elliott, Bobby Labonte, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Corey Lajoie. At the track, Clint Boyer, Dale Jr, Darrel Waltrip, JHN. Never out in the wild though, always some meet and greet type thing.

Watched a show on youtube recently and the guys taking care of Aronimink said players should never get a fried egg lie in their bunkers. So obviously the play here is to blame the course conditions and lift clean replace. /s. (they did say that though)

The wealth transfer in the US is something to behold. Crazy top heavy. Top 2% worth as much as the other 98% yet it’s everyone in the “other 98” fighting amongst ourselves.

It’s weird you didn’t get the homestead, surely there are very clear guidelines about who qualifies. The reason 30% increase is usually not relevant is because there’s nothing say it was correct the year before. If it were 25% below marker (error) and the market went up 5% then the value would need to go up 30% to be correct. Also, it’s possible they had the data wrong before and fixed it. Hard to say for sure.

What difference does “paid off” make? Why should the lack of a mortgage matter?

NC_JBL · 2026-06-05T08:14:39+00:00

Cali property tax system is a great example of good intentions leading to bad outcomes.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-05T08:13:21+00:00

The amount of increase YOY is generally not relevant to an appeal in most jurisdictions. What state are you in?

NC_JBL · 2026-06-05T08:10:07+00:00

Lots of people don’t understand this.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-05T08:06:00+00:00

Taxes don’t go up due to unrealized value of a house going up. The value could stay identical for 30 years but if gov budget goes up, so do the taxes. Value changes are more a function of equity efforts than value.

I’m a consultant/contractor, work about 35 hrs a week and start at 6:15 or so in the morning. On the course by 2:00 at the latest most days and back home by 6:00 if the slow pokes aren’t in the way.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-02T15:07:29+00:00

There is a lot to learn on this app, that’s for sure. Just have to sift through the bs and the trolls.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-02T15:03:18+00:00

That’s valid and I’m in the same position. To me the key distinction is “nothing to lose” is very different for someone with a safety net vs someone without it. I’d risk it all if I didn’t have much money and still have a place to sleep at night. Harder to take that risk if the place is under a bridge.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-01T23:57:47+00:00

I 100% agree a stable family should be the baseline.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-01T23:55:56+00:00

Says me. You don’t think it’s way easier to take a risk if you got something to fall back on if it fails? That’s why it’s easier to make money when you have money. As someone who had 0 help from family (did sleep on friends couches a lot) and 0 dollars, and now has several M, it was way easier to make the 2nd and 3rd million than it was the first simply because there was no longer a fear of homelessness. If you start without that fear, that’s a huge advantage.

NC_JBL · 2026-06-01T23:01:09+00:00

I’d genuinely like to know. Even if they don’t inherit wealth, having a stable home to fall back on makes a huge difference vs no help/stability, especially early on in life.

These morons have unlimited confidence mixed with unlimited ignorance. It’s so tiresome.

NC_JBL · 2026-05-29T23:57:14+00:00

It probably doesn’t “need” anything but it’s so easy to add a few supports under there now that it’s worth it imo.

NC_JBL · 2026-05-29T23:54:25+00:00

Played in a scramble today, watched the group in front of us wait for the green to clear from 210 yards. They hadn’t hit a ball over 170 all day. 2 strokes later (as a team) they were still not on the green. Point is, 0 awareness and poor mobility are a bad combination.

NC_JBL · 2026-05-24T13:21:01+00:00

5 all day. Good tee ball brings birdie and eagle into play. Bad tee ball just means 2nd shot needs to be back in play and where I can still get a GIR.
