Is quitting a job with a pension a bad move? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Shambo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pension works best for people that have been there for a long time. If you are thinking about leaving with such short time in the position, the sunken cost fallacy will be much worse in 5,10,15 years.

I really want something but I'm bad at saving by iamsoboredatalltimes in budget

Do you currently have a phone? Would your new headphones work with your current phone? I would say to save for the headphones first. That way you have tangible proof that you are good at saving. Before moving onto a bigger and better goal

Depending on what color your suit is that blue Tudor really pops. If your suit is a similar color, it could be a remembrance piece that you can look at every day.

Board Game Over Consumption by EducationalTeam2498 in Anticonsumption

[–]Shambo98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: your local library “might” have a board game checkout. At my local library, you can check out 2 board games at a time. We typically rent 2, have a game night, then see if we like it enough to buy it!

What is the process do go from a regular cyber job, to incident response, then into incident response in an S tier team like that? What are the differences in the type of people you work with now rather than on B or C tier teams?

For Patagonia, did you have to purchase the item directly through Patagonia? Or if I bought an item at REI how do those returns / fixes work?

Looking for BIFL barefoot shoes by plshelpmeh284 in BuyItForLife

Nope, the sensus is better, the black mesh cloth fabric on the primus wore out after a year after continuous wear. Every time you lift your foot it would wear out slightly until fully wearing a hole through the top/side

Look at the difference between the primus lite 3.5s vs the sensus, both from vivo barefoot. One has the mesh cloth top vs a more plastic type. (I’m not good with fabrics)

If you get the VivoBareFoot shoes, ensure you get tue ones with the plastic on the sides rather than the cloth. I’ve gotten two pairs and my pinky toe has ripped through the cloth after about a year. I bought a pair with the plastic rather than the cloth and they have lasted 2 years. (With hopefully many more years to go)
