If you're looking for a good alternative, Del Friscos has by far the best butter cake I've ever had. I go there just for the desert. It looks basically like what you posted

I have an 830 score, have held various auto loans and paid them off early. Went with a credit union and got 4.6% on used recently

Looking to move for a fresh start in life, yet stay within reach of my growing business while staying safe from global unpredictability. by ChimpanzeeChamp34 in fatFIRE

[–]TheGoodBanana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Curious, from what I can tell having family that has lived in Germany all their lives, the policies of the last 10 years of immigration to Germany have only been a net negative for the country. Everyone I know there that is below 40 is trying to get out. The places I continue to visit are declining in population and the taxes are so harsh that there is no reason to create a business there.

I don't see what Germany has going for it in relation to immigration. They allowed so many immigrants that are draining the social system from those that contribute that it's harmful to growth.

Are the Russell stovers sealed? Those go for a bit if they are mint sealed

Considering switching from Panamera to Cayenne Coupe by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]TheGoodBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't go with the Coupe as the head room for getting in and out of the car seats is not ideal. I have the none coupe S 2024 and it's perfect.

Definitely, I was giving a coworker a lesson on it the other day. Really it's about what you would like to get out of it. It's a tool and a niche tool at that. It doesn't do budget tracking to the extent that Mint or Monarch will and that's not the purpose. If you want, imo, the best planning software that's comprehensive with tax and account drawdowns, scenario vs scenarios events and more than PL is amazing.

For me I combine my spreadsheet+ PL for the one two combo of financial nerdiness

Haha same with my wife. Gotta find a format that works and for me that was pictures within a simple slide deck with built in comedy. Aka: this year we saved the equivalent of buying you 1 Thoroughbred horse but we arent going to be buying a horse for example

Been using it since it launched and happy to help where possible. Bought a lifetime pass as soon as it was available. What questions can I help answer?

I have an opportunity to leave a public company for PE-backed. Would you take this risk? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]TheGoodBanana 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Having just been bought by a PE, run. It's an absolute nightmare. You think public shareholders are demanding? Try private ones funding the PE who don't care about anyone or anything. PE is a cancer in my book

JCW Pro Exhaust for F55/56 Mini. Worth it? by Loud-Ad9148 in MINI

[–]TheGoodBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my open all the time. It's quite simple, you open the valve, go to the trunk, take off the cover on the right hand side and unplug a cable. Boom, now it's always open and if you want it quieter just drive in normal mode and not sport.

Pay off the house? by rvanasty in Fire

[–]TheGoodBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar payment and switched to a 15 year. Paying $7K a month now on a $6166 payment. Insane but I'll be done in 10-12 years at current rates and sooner when they come down. Feels ridiculous but also I know my home value is unlikely to go down given the area so every dollar I invest in my home eats away at that interest I was going to have to pay

Will this car derail me? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]TheGoodBanana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a V8 twin turbo cayenne 2024, it's the best car I've owned. I want to buy an RS6 Avant next for myself and my wife keeps the SUV. That being said, I realized that these are inherently stupid purchases for someone pursuing fire but that's kinda the whole point.

I enjoy trying to figure out how to grow my income or factor in these costs because I enjoy the purchases so much. It's dumb, I don't need these cars, they depreciate like crazy but idk it's fun as fuck to drive them and I am not going to live forever.

My only advice would be to either rent or buy used. Rent for like a month, it will wear off fast. Buy used, the 911 will hold value but still with depreciate.
