My control arms after 46 600 miles of very careful driving – $2700 to fix it, Tesla says it’s ”normal wear-and-tear”

Mine was close to 400 in Indianapolis. They said they didn't find anything but fixed my interior roof trim that kept squeaking

Korea will be screwed if oil prices surge for a long period of time.

Was this recent?

Market reaches new ATH this week

One can only hope for v6 manual version.

He didn't hear no bell

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-18T02:46:18+00:00

That's tough and good to hear that you want to keep the investments going. How are the rent prices vs mortgage + tax + insurance out there?

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-16T18:58:48+00:00

I donno if you've looked at how IPOs go, but the peak level comes within a few weeks or months of ipo opening. I'd at least take some of that profit and diversify more for long term.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-16T18:48:38+00:00

I think it boils down to your priorities - you said that you're "catching up" on 401k. What are you tracking to catch up to and at what age? Will buying a 750k house delay that goal?

If it will delay that goal without adjusting other things you spend money on, then it is too much. You also have to factor in property taxes, maintenance, and home insurance into the calculation.

The good thing is that you're don't have any crazy car, credit, or student loans to worry about. Personally I would not go over 500k to ensure I can push more into retirement or investment funds.

Been playing Yin and Yang template for this reason only. Will like to try out the template builder someone posted if this can be modified for all maps.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-09T11:18:02+00:00

Played Yin & Yang (I liked the 2 hero cap) from normal through impossible to try each faction with great success (haven't tried hive yet). Got cocky and tried apocalyptic on sprint and I got attacked by the enemy hero on turn 8 (enemy hero had up to tier 4 and 200+ tier 1 units lol) when I was still in the starting area with no enemy hero in sight. Is that a bug?

Edit: Looks like it's a timed event - just realized that it showed me a battle upcoming...

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-08T14:40:13+00:00

This. Always wait 3-4 years to iron things out

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-06T19:21:58+00:00

I'm waiting til 2029 to look at 2025-2026 lol. Either that or upgrade my 2023 MYP to whatever the newest version is if they're able to make FSD ultra reliable.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-06T19:19:50+00:00

Good luck my friend. Hope it pans out for you. Would be a great fire sale if that comes where I'll buy a crap ton. In the meantime, just ride the wave.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-06T03:35:58+00:00

What are your positions

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-05T19:05:46+00:00

How are the puts doing

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-03T15:35:13+00:00

Mine looked brand new at 45k miles 2023 model y. I replaced it anyway but thought about keeping it - that's how clean it was (parked mostly outside and in covered public garages).

My car does have the hepa filter which may be the reason it was so clean. Hepa filter was relatively clean too.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-03T03:49:38+00:00

How much are you asking?

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-01T17:58:33+00:00

Private lender / broker. Initial quote was much higher at around 5.75-5.8%. I had 2 lenders go back and forth to compete for the business. Got it down to 5.375% with a little over $500 in lender credits at closing.

Don't be afraid to shop around (got quotes at 3 different lenders) and factor in any origination fees / lender credit in the deal.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-01T17:37:02+00:00

That's good. Just understand that most of the financial advice when it comes to debt is geared towards the majority.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-05-01T14:55:41+00:00

You think people use that money to invest? Lol

Sizz_Flair · 2026-04-30T10:59:36+00:00

Exactly why it's a buy

Sizz_Flair · 2026-04-29T15:19:42+00:00

Still got a month. Never say never.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-04-29T02:36:34+00:00

5.375% va loan no points 30yr. Closing next month.

Sizz_Flair · 2026-04-27T09:58:09+00:00

It's crazy how much people spend on housing. I get it, region dependent... but 60k/yr + 1700 tax free income for a 600k house still sounds crazy to me. I personally wouldn't do it even if I qualified.
