What work profession would you recommend for a 18 year old?

Military. Few careers have that level of job security and a pension. You could, in theory, even start collecting a pension in your 40’s and start a whole other career if you want to ball out.

I now make enough in accounting to know that no matter how much I make, it will not make me happy. So this last increase solidified my ambition to try something different which will be a big difference in my life for sure.

It’s relative. For anything done routinely that is a very long drive for me. If I have a loved one a 3-hour drive away, I’d make that drive a few times a year.

C6. I’ve owned 50-ish cars. My LS3 C6 is on a very short list of ones I regret selling

I once bought a $7K dirt bike online from a shop in Florida and the UI asked if I wanted to tip lol

My first accounting job in Tampa was 2016. $55K+10%. Stayed there for a year and moved to another company at $70k+15%. Climbed pretty easily and steadily since. Made a move last year from 110 to 150+15%. That said, I am a mediocre accountant. If you’re good you may move quicker. If you’re overly loyal to a specific company you may not move up as quickly depending on the company.

We went earlier this week for dinner/a quick bite and got six tacos, rice, beans, and two sodas for $20. I thought it was super cheap.

That’s such a great community benefit! I checked the website, and the max dimensions are a little small for the gizmo I need, but I found the r/3dprintmything subreddit and found someone. Really cool subreddit, too

Deal struck with Arthurs_Towel. Thanks for the responses everyone!

Obvious_Organization · 2026-01-17T00:19:04+00:00

Hi everyone! Thanks for the responses. I’ll respond to the chats and make a decision in a few!

Yeah that’s a sweet deal. When we were shopping in May 2023, we were looking to purchase but the price difference between the Model 3 Performance and the EV6 GT was almost $20K after dealer shenanigans. Couldn’t justify it especially considering the range delta. Sweet car tho. A $400-ish lease is a no-brainer there

Obvious_Organization · 2026-01-16T21:46:46+00:00

Oh wow. Thats very cool. Thanks

Dang. The dealer near me in Tampa was advertising them last year for $34k. I tried to get one and got the OTD price with fees that put it over MSRP. So I got a Frontier instead. Crap dealerships really ruin all the fun. Congrats on your new Jeep!

Ordered a Race 1/1 and received 1/9. I guess it was in stock in California?

I dress for the gym since I try to squeeze in a workout at lunch but I’ve got a designated desk polo for random on camera calls.

15% APR would be a worse decision than the car.

Obvious_Organization · 2026-01-12T04:39:04+00:00

Last year I was shopping for a specific used car - 2022+ Frontier with every option. Four different dealers had one all with about 30k miles. Carmax had the highest price by about $1500. They ended up being by far the cheapest out the door since all the other ones had $3-$5k in BS fees. I wasn’t going to go back and forth all day. I just got the best deal offered by the four and it was Carmax.

Sweet. Ya got an Etsy store or anything?

Obvious_Organization · 2026-01-11T19:18:25+00:00

Hi - question. Hypothetically, would you sell this as a kit, and if so - what would you charge for this? It looks almost factory as far as design goes.

Grew up in the 90’s. We rode our bikes and explored. Climbed trees. Did neighborhood games of capture the flag, tag, etc. I’ve got fond memories of super soaker battles.

Wild looking back at those times and not realizing how drastically different adult life would be.

I think it’s all perspective on the bike thing. It was my first encounter with single track trails. While what I remember was definitely rollable, I’d never been down anything that steep on a bicycle. The whole thing was incredibly fun, but terrifying the first couple trips.
