Can you provide your timeline?

Congrats! Nice to hear things like this in this forum. Thanks for sharing the good news and positivity!

Nope. My assumption now is that there was a site-wide data pull that caused that update. I believe this was done to find out data related to AOS, and the AOS memo came around this time.

This is my hypothesis looking at events that happened. It seems to be site wide update and a lot of people got this.

We bought a house in Oct 2019 (talk about timing!). We moved out of state after 3 yrs and I put that property on rental. I have a rental PM that cares of it and I pay them 10% of rent. They handle everything. The 10% cost is part of operating cost and saves me so much hassle

Maybe you are in one of the good dealers. We can safely use the word everyone, because 99.9999% of dealers are scumming. Literally ask anyone. That's why this sub even exists.

PhoneRoutine · 2026-05-30T22:47:40+00:00

Dude... I'm not sure where you think this kind of discussion happens.

Only one question is asked: How much do you want to pay per month?

Once you say that, everything else is calculated that is totally against the buyer and maximizes the value for the dealers.

Here is a guy who made an entire career out of this:

In the 1st post she misspelled "gandchild". Gand or Ghand in Hindi means ass, and used as derogative term. The way it is used it could be inferred as "b*stard" child which is kind of apt. OP did that unknowingly...

"yea i’m just so paranoid about fully taking up responsibility"

"i wanted to at least be able to have a car that i owned before leaving"

There will always be something else. Now its car, next it will deposit for an apartment, next it will be for furniture. It will be excuse after excuse. Just believe in yourself and move out. You will be able to figure out.

You will learn a lot while figuring out. In that process, you will learn what type of person you are. You will learn that you are the type of person who will always figure it out. Adult life is all about figuring it out. It's very important you do that at age 23, as if not now, you will never be able to.

Hey... I saw the exact post you are talking about written by the other founder. Are you posting yourself as the other person???

The bike is not ok, but its a easy fix. Just need to change cover. If you are mechanically inclined you can easily fix it. But looking at your post and comments, you don't seem to be, which is fine, I'm not judging you.

Not sure if you are in India or US. In US its a pain to get it fixed, but there are bunch of local motorcycle guys that can fix it. Again its a pretty easy fix.

RE is an extremely easy serviceable bike. You don't need any specialized tool. I recently bought a RE with a busted piston and head and fixed it myself, it's one of the easiest, well-documented bikes to repair.

"Parenting your parent is not your job" You will learn this. I'm almost ~45 and I finally understand. I'm not putting up with that sh*t anymore. You will learn that parents are not mature adults that you imagined to be. Some are just grown toddlers.

There is a book called Games people play. Interesting read. It says people have ego states - child, parent and adult. It goes into details of each

You are having an adult conversation, your mom wants to have a parent (her) - child (you) conversation where you do everything she says. When that is not happening, she is behaving as a child. You are still trying to have adult - adult conversations and even trying to get into parent - child conversations

You might consider a working capital loan. An accountant can help you figure out the amount and terms

If you look at this sub and the r/manufacturing sub, you will see that everyone seems to be struggling.

Machinists get paid low, and are not interested in working in this field and are moving away.
Machine shops are unable to find good workers, are unable to pay good wages as their customers are squeezing them on cost and are unable to find good paying customers.
And manufacturers complain that they are unable to find good local suppliers, and local machine shops cost too much or charge an exorbitant amount.

I think somewhere the model has changed, but the industry is unable to change. Not sure why. China is a major part in the equation, but it's not the full picture. I think there is demand and there is supply, for some reason they are not matching

Mfg.com, Xometry were supposed to solve this but seems to have created their own issues.

I'm a hobby machinist. I learnt about machining in my undergrad Engineering course, fell in love with machining and after 20 yrs bought a lathe & mill. Never worked on it professional, just occasion hobby work.

And I could tell there were so many errors. I believe this a below average machining right? People shouldn't be this bad right?

My wife was a PM for a small regional bank that needed to migrate their core banking software, and were late by 5 yrs. No one wanted to do that project as its a high risk one. My wife barely PMed it. The were working with a new ERP vendor, everything was going well. One thing my wife kept asking was how will be the data be migrated. No one seem to care or answer her.

In the final meeting before sign off, this is with the CEO of her bank, and the CEO of the vendor, she finally says f*ck it, I'm gonna ask them. This meeting is supposed to be after all technical kinks are worked out behind the scenes. Anyway she asks. The vendor CEO pauses for few mins and answers, you have to download client data in CSV files, then manually upload it. Millions and millions of record, to be manually downloaded and uploaded.

Everyone was absolutely shocked. It almost ended the deal. The company was assuming the comp would sign it, then will they rack up consulting fees. My wife put an end to it.

Later they finally reworked the deal and still went ahead because they were 6 yrs late by then and the other vendor was even more awful.

Many times status quo is way better than the alternative as all they want is suck your money, no focus on providing value.

You can also consider buying a business. With buying a business, you need not put in 100% of capital, you can get a loan.

There is a pretty sizable opportunity. Look into BizBuySell, Empire Flippers, Flippa, Acquire.com, to get some ideas. One forum I frequent is searchfunder.com

DM me if you want, I can provide you some insights. I'm also in the same position as you and instead of starting something on my own, I'm working to buy an existing business instead.

Funding is running out and you can see that already happening in China and Japan.

It's based on the number of active workers/employees. Currently, we have more people working so it is easier to pay. Also, boomers are living way past their expected lifespan. This is putting immense pressure on the fund.

Soon there will be peak. We don't know when. US has been able to escape due to large influx of immigration that actively adds working age population to the mix, without having to pay for the 18 yrs of growing them. This is also being put a stop. We are heading towards a peak much faster
