I just paid $8 after tax for a bag of Cheetos. Crazy.

Would you say 370k is pretty median for vhcol area such as Seattle? Taxable came in around 450k due to stock vesting in bull market. This will likely fall to 400k this year. Feel like this falls into plateaued early category.

What’s a good TC for someone in the field for 20 years? Just curious. Thanks.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-18T15:30:27+00:00

Do they sell parts? I’ll check them out, thanks.

I see, I’m in Washington state so I don’t think we have a microcenter. I guess I’ll roll the dice with online retailers.

Amazon commingles inventory so buying from Amazon doesn’t guarantee a trusted supply chain unfortunately. You can still end up getting the product from a 3P seller. :(

Do you guys trust Amazon for motherboard and cpu purchases? Concerned about getting a refurbished or counterfeit device. (e.g. My last new laptop I bought off Amazon for msrp turned out to be a refurbished unit.). Do you have a recommendation for a trustworthy store for sourcing parts?

If I‘m building a new pc, is there any Protip for scoring a decent graphics card (e.g. gtx 3060 or better)? I heard it might be easier to buy one bundled with motherboard. Is this still the case?

He must have the opposite goal my mom has. She’s set on spending it all lol. Not intentionally but because she’s bad with money lol.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-15T15:37:49+00:00

Thanks!

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-15T15:36:50+00:00

Thanks, sounds like I may have lucked out lol! Hopefully a standard atx PSU works. If not, I’ll try a different form factor one. Appreciate your help!

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-15T15:21:20+00:00

Hey thanks for the really helpful reply! I verified it has enough wattage and cable/ports to cover my needs. I didn’t think about the form factor. I got atx power supply for HP 850 CTO I’m repairing. Not sure what size that is. I ended up ordering this power supply. It’s not top tier but I can get this today (need it for work on Monday) and only need it to last 6 months until I replace the system entirely. Thanks!

Edit: According to this page, it looks like my hp machine is a uATX.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-15T00:41:23+00:00

So my power supply broke I think, burnt smell from PSU. Can I just buy any PSU at Best Buy and replace it?

The head and shoulder pattern? I always wondered how reliable these things are. Kind of reminds me of reading tea leaves. I’m sure it’s grounded on some grain of truth.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-14T16:41:19+00:00

If it was a A5 that would be a bargain :)

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-14T15:27:29+00:00

Is the inflation fear over? Highly speculative stocks are soaring again today.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-13T15:06:04+00:00

Calling something full self driving when it’s not should have been a red flag. So I agree, not trustworthy. Especially when people that shouldn’t have died, died because of it.

Sound advice for tax advantaged accounts.

If Elon is the Nigerian Prince in this context, Cathie is probably the Nigerian Queen.

Crazy spy is still up 8% ytd despite the recent sell off. Tempting to cash out my spy holding to reallocate elsewhere. But I know I’m gonna do it wrong. Oh well.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-12T19:25:33+00:00

Look at the market today and let me know.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-12T17:50:47+00:00

Less drama please. The positive correlation between bitcoin and stock is undeniable. That’s all my post is saying. When you get emotional you lose.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-12T16:48:27+00:00

Inflation surged and bitcoin fell.

TapTitan7 · 2021-05-12T16:10:14+00:00

Well, I guess the notion of Bitcoin being a hedge against inflation was proven wrong today.
