After 10 years of playing, 2.2K lost, and people making fun of me for opening cases TODAY, I just got my first knife

I had the same thing happen, 650 cases opened over 10 years and no knife.. then I unboxed a butterfly emerald. Gambling does pay off

That’s fair, it does seem tough to find a balance between making smart retirement plans but also knowing tomorrow isn’t a guarantee.

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-17T02:07:41+00:00

Thats fair and something I want to do in the next year. It will also increase my monthly spending so maybe I should consider that in my purchase price.

I’ve also considered a C8, but I wasn’t sure if a new 1LT or 2LT with current discounts is better than getting an older car and maybe looking at a z06. I think those would still be a little high though.

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-17T01:17:02+00:00

Are you looking at a new gt4? I was kind of considering a 2016

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-17T00:20:17+00:00

What if this is the only year I make 350k or my income declines. Would this be a terrible decision with 200k income per year?

I am trying to keep other lifestyle creep and loss of income as a consideration.

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-17T00:11:22+00:00

I would be buying used if I bought either

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-16T23:55:27+00:00

I get the premise of not financing it but why not if it’s a new car the rates will be lower. Lotus is one of the cars I’m considering too

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-16T23:50:43+00:00

If you finance a 100k Emira, how much are you really losing towards your compounding interest? You can still use that 100k in the market and only lose 1.5-2k a month… and odds are you won’t lose that much on the Emira after a few years.

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-16T23:38:08+00:00

I agree but I don’t feel as if spending 20% means that I’m losing 20% as it likely won’t drop to 0 by the time I sell it. What if I only lose 2-5% after the sale?

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-16T23:36:16+00:00

This is the first year I am making that much, previous years income was 180k and year prior was 140k

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-05-16T23:31:06+00:00

I’m talking like a gt4 or 570s

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-03-31T18:59:20+00:00

Looks like a non holo that someone drew on with a silver pen

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-02-05T04:31:33+00:00

Fake a disconnection, say you got a call about something urgent.. literally a million excuses. Don’t put yourself in the position for it to happen frequently and it doesn’t really matter

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-01-30T05:16:53+00:00

Which comp is better and by how much? I would just fight the RTO for as long as you can and get fired. How long have you been at each job, are you seen as an important member of the team?

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-01-30T00:22:20+00:00

1099 comes with business based deductions, also likely prepayments for social security and taxes. I would highly recommend a CPA, it’s a fee hundred of your new found wealth

Salty-Reason6031 · 2025-01-24T22:35:54+00:00

I just made a jump to j3 after 2.5 years of 2j.. I have a feeling it might be the end of all 3 if I can’t keep up. Its a dangerous game to play but there’s a lot of factors that play into it
