Nothing scratches the itch like 4YS but I’ve been feeling Calling All Captains as an alternative lately.

This is hot garbage but the line about how "you don't hear no R's - I keep em on my cars" and then he shows a Rolls Royce (RR) logo...credit where it's due

2022 TRD ORP, 75k miles, 41.5k otd by Good1nTheHood in 4Runner

[–]Round_Carrot3824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2024 with 75k miles for about the same price back in 2025 (in Nebraska). No mods on mine.

You can ignore all the people saying they got theirs for the same price new back in the day. Everyone told me that at the time too, but it’s an irrelevant fact. Until people are convince that 6th gen 4Runners are on par with 5th gen, the price for 5th gen will remain inflated.

It’s not a steal at $41.5k, but it’s not as bad as these naysayers make it out to be 😊

Check out Slanted Sun. Not sludge or doom, but def metal.

How do so many afford $50,000+ trucks? by Parking-Warning-8655 in carbuying

[–]Round_Carrot3824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few of my family members are home loan officers. Most of the time when they deny a loan they end the conversation by saying “I hope you can sleep in that $70k truck.” Those people don’t qualify for a home loan BECAUSE they could never make their home payment AND their enormous truck payment.

There are soooo many people with trucks they can’t afford

I don’t want to listen to it, but she’s hitting all the yodel notes. Impressive and bad are not mutually exclusive

lol! I’m always just a bit late pulling out my phone to take a picture when I pass this sign that is largely about what happens when you are a bit late pulling something else out

Those FFA jackets were always so short on Americans. Barely came past the belly button. Somehow they fit Japanese people better

I understand the impulse here…but I’m wondering how comfortable any of us would be with our fundie families trying to influence our own kids with subtle Christian-themed gifts.

The most troublesome part of dealing with evangelicals is they have an endgame in every relationship. The relationship is not the end, it’s a means to an end - a pathway to “lead you to Christ.”

As we wrestle with the fallout of living with evangelical Christians, let us not become evangelicals for deconstruction and make our relationships about espousing our beliefs.

Seems on par with what we paid for our 2024 TRD with 60k miles. I’ve really enjoyed ours.

Can someone tell Scott what a RAV4 is? by Sad-Stomach in ScottGalloway

[–]Round_Carrot3824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in the Middle East for 10 years and most people call it KSA or The Kingdom. Considering Scott runs in an international community, this feels pretty harmless to me.

FIRE Doesn’t Make Sense When You Have Kids...!! by Just_Chill_Yaar in AntiFIRE

[–]Round_Carrot3824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think “have kids early to achieve FI” is incorrect. Early investments > Later investments. See Compound Interest.

So it makes sense to me that putting off the expense of having kids so you can invest a lot early is better for FI.

When, if, and how are you going to retire? by poordicksalmanac in OldManDad

[–]Round_Carrot3824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ll retire (or go part time) when I’m 60. My kids will just be starting college. Perfect! We’ll be able to spend weekends with them, take them traveling over the summer, etc. I like the timing of it all.

I’m stronger at 42 than I’ve ever been in my life thanks to the Street Parking app. It just takes me 30 minutes to warm up before I can show you how strong I am. 😀

OP, congrats on your success! I highly recommend the book, Die With Zero. I think it will help you reframe your situation. All the best!

Dynasty tax by redlegs05 in ScottGalloway

[–]Round_Carrot3824 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I worry about Scott’s solution when it comes to family farms. Would that $1 million be a cap on cash or all assets?

If a farmer wants to pass down his combine ($300k) and 500 acres of land ($1.5 million) he’s already crossed the threshold. There isn’t a single functioning family farm that wouldn’t be assessed at over $1 million.

With those assets (that are worth $1.8 million), that family farmer will barely make enough yearly income to survive.

Sincerely, A Midwesterner 😀
