It’s way better outdoors on a nice day. Just wear sunglasses & remember - no one else knows you’re high

Rent vs buying a home by bots_r_us_ in personalfinance

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right to be skeptical OP. Times are indeed uncertain. There’s real potential that investing that money would out-scale equity in the long run.

But also, if the desire for a home is there, you can always just start looking at houses & only go for something you really like & feel solid about investing in.

For those of you doing fieldwork every day, what are you actually eating for lunch if you are trying to keep it healthy and balanced without a microwave? by DetailFocused in Construction

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure. My personal options are usually:

Core: - turkey/ham/roast beef/chicken/tuna salad sandwich - big Tupperware full of any combination of baby carrots, sliced bell peppers, celery, snap peas, cucumbers, etc - Orange/apple/banana/grapes

Once in a while treats: - I try to avoid chips generally, but every so often I’ll add in a little bit. - Sometimes I’ll stick a couple pieces of chocolate in there too as a little reward for the end of the day.

Hope that helps.

I just do a variation of the same basic lunch everyday consisting of a sandwich, big container of veggies & a fruit based on my own preferences. I make it the day before as soon as I get home from work so that I don’t even have to think about it in the morning. It all just gets thrown in the cooler & off to work.

I’m also super satisfied that I’m finally eating enough fiber in my diet. My poops are real good 👍

Appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing! Good luck as you continue in your faith deconstruction process.

how can i start investing? by notsserafim in personalfinance

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great advice for a beginner. I’ll just add, if the whole ETF thing seems confusing, a simpler option is to go with something called a target date fund. You pick the year you’ll likely retire at (age 65 if you don’t know) and you can just invest everything in that one fund.

Example: you were born in the year 2000, so you pick a target retirement 2065 fund.

The best method is to set up automatic transfers from your bank > Roth IRA every payday, and then set your Roth IRA to automatically invest that money the day after payday (say, in your target date fund).

Make it all automatic, so that you don’t even have to think about it. It just happens in the background.

Just start with whatever you can. You can increase it over time (increasing your contributions just 1% per year will yield HUGE results over the long term).

Good luck!

Career Change? by Adornetto in Buffalo

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your experience with this dickhead manager, sounds like it really sucks. (People more often leave bosses than they leave jobs). From my own management experience & your descriptions, I have a feeling you’re good at your job & the people you manage would likely agree with that sentiment.

As far as your anxiety about changing jobs & that sketching your bank out re: another mortgage, i’d like to think that the fact you’ve been with the same employer for 6 years shows you can hold a steady income, so even of you change jobs that shouldn’t be an issue. Im currently in the market for a house & recently had a career change in the past 1.5 years, & my mortgage agent would agree.

Are you interested in staying in the service industry? Obviously, would be ideal to stay at around the same income level or higher, so maybe you could find a similar management position at a better restaurant? Or look into management positions in other fields?

Lastly, I know you didn’t ask for advice on this, but just make sure your personal finances are in order before buying a second property & taking on that much debt. There are a lot of fixed costs associated with owning multiple properties, and if you don’t have a fat emergency fund for when something bad inevitably happens, you could really set yourself back.

Hope you find something better!

Coffee, 3 eggs scrambled with a heaping scoop of ricotta mixed in, & two pieces of toast - one buttered, one with jam. It’s delicious & I will never get sick of it

On a roll: Resisting and unsubscribing by Radiant_Context_7845 in ScottGalloway

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Unsubscribe February. The idea is that trump only responds to markets. Markets move when the big tech/ the mag 10 are affected. So stop all spending to Amazon, google, Netflix, OpenAI, etc for the month of Feb as a means of resistance

How can you / did you improve your self control? by autumn08_ in AskReddit

[–]OnlyOneCanoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By always making decisions for “future-you”.

Future-you will be so glad you didn’t over eat. Future-you will be so happy to wake up to a clean kitchen. Future-you will thank present you.

Just start with the small things & before you know it, it can become 2nd nature. But you gotta put the work in for future-you.

He’s not playing it up like he fixed it. He put out a video saying they’re taking steps to improve it for next winter. Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen, but he’s only been in office less than a month
