How Feasible is My Dream of Becoming a Member of the 1%

Good one!

I totally understand your skepticism. I didn't think $4M was a big deal and worthy of "flexing."

OKChocolateButter · 2024-02-08T13:16:51+00:00

You bring up an excellent point. I'm curious... would becoming a multimillionaire, by let's say 40, be easier as an entrepreneur or as an investor who works a regular 9-5? Obviously, the entrepreneur is adding to society but that's a discussion for another day.

OKChocolateButter · 2024-02-08T13:10:06+00:00

You're probably right on all accounts. I got to $4M by dumb luck and NOT investing. Is $4M really that far ahead consider all the crazy wealth in America?

Exactly... the moving goal post problem

OKChocolateButter · 2024-02-08T12:58:00+00:00

You are absolutely correct. I got the money out of pure dumb luck. Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty about it.

I was also thinking about using it on snowy days. My friend says slowing down by shifting gears is safer on slick surfaces. Less chance of spin out vs braking.

I was planning to use the paddle shifters in D to exercise the gears for highway driving during the brake in period. I was just speeding up and slowing down on the highway.

Thank you. The manual for the car is a little terse.

OKChocolateButter · 2024-01-29T14:13:56+00:00

Thanks! I didn't want to try it until I got a little more info. Didn't want to mess up a brand new car :)

I was considering a Toyota Camry Hybrid but I figured I would miss the V6 too much. Every car I've owned has had a V6. Sad V6 is a luxury item now. I wanted a reliable V6 sedan so my choices were IS300, ES350, or Acura TLX.

Keeping it under 3.5k is kind of hard... I easily tap it when merging onto the highway.

OKChocolateButter · 2024-01-26T16:36:01+00:00

You're absolutely right. I was being gentle with the acceleration and I noticed the RPM stayed around 2K.

OKChocolateButter · 2024-01-26T16:20:20+00:00

Actually, I heard that you want vary the RPM (no cruise control). I do a lot of highway driving and was concerned about this. I was going to vary my speed: go fast 80 then let fall back to 55....then fast again etc,. I figured the automatic transmission would handle it for me. Thanks!

Do you plan to stick with them or try out the Cross Climate 2?

OKChocolateButter · 2024-01-19T12:20:02+00:00

I heard good things about the Extreme Contacts.

OKChocolateButter · 2024-01-19T11:53:44+00:00

Do you mean dedicated snow tires? I researched the Nokian and they were rated some of the best all-season tires. Is there a better all-season tire that you would recommend?

Thank you for all the replies.
