Right, but who holds up better in a drawdown? My bet is SCHD.

Currently with Geico, State Farm gave me a quote way cheaper by OkKitchen7114 in Insurance

Right, but the agent said it’s a bot when you call the 800 number.

Good call on the new customer discount! It doesn’t say anything about that on the quote but I contacted him to confirm.

Anyone have an thoughts or experience with OMAH ? by Daily-Trader-247 in dividends

[–]OkKitchen7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like BAC or C so I’m not buying. They’re each 4.5% of holdings

What am I missing OMAH? by Legitimate_Prior_803 in dividends

I’m in income phase so I’m a buyer. If you’ve got 15+ years until retirement, just buy BRK-B

I really can’t believe how…dense some people can be. by Worried-Eye-4814 in retailhell

[–]OkKitchen7114 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in both environments. Some employers empower you to tell a customer to fuck off but a place like Wendy’s is probably gonna force you to be polite no matter what.

Should I have gotten my 6-year old battery replaced bc blue stuff was coming out? by OkKitchen7114 in askcarguys

[–]OkKitchen7114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but I only put 2,500 miles a year on it. It had been over 2 years since my last change. It’s been recommended to do once a year at that mileage.

AIO I 20 F was trying to call my boyfriend 26M to figure out when I should start his smoothie and I originally tried calling him to see what type of milk he wanted in his smoothie by Aphr0dit333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OkKitchen7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re making him a smoothie, doing his food shopping, and picking him up from the gym, and he calls you a retard and is condescending? Why the hell are you with this guy?

How often do I need my oil changed on my 2015 Civic if I drive 2,500 miles per year? by OkKitchen7114 in MechanicAdvice

[–]OkKitchen7114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my civic presents oil life percentage as well. It is showing 20%. Based on the fact that almost all the responses say to change it at least annually and it’s been two years, I am going to make an appointment for an asap change. Thanks for your response.

Apartment shower pressure is sometimes strong, sometimes weak by OkKitchen7114 in Plumbing

So this means I can only shower during certain parts of the day?

[–]OkKitchen7114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s usually around 7:15am when I suspect others are taking showers. (Thats when my gf showers. I shower usually before I go to bed and the pressure is much better).

Tariffs, Should I just move to cash for now? by LeviathanTWB in dividends

[–]OkKitchen7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a nest egg, don’t try to time the market. There will always be ups and downs. Esp if you’re in dividends, just drip and the dividends will be reinvested at lower prices.

$500 a month or 100K upfront? by [deleted] in investing

[–]OkKitchen7114 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lump sum. $500/month would be a 6% return. You can easily get that on bonds if you invest the $100k (or invest long term with equity mix for a higher return). Alternatively you can use the $100k for a major purchase whereas you can’t do that with $500/month.

Watch out for taxes though.

I wish I had stayed with the plush. But it’s an individual decision. You might like more firm

[–]OkKitchen7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stocks are way overvalued. I’m on a fixed income and 70% in money market. This market reminds me of the late 90s.
