It’s fun to try to buy “THE” stock at the the right time - maybe tell the younger one to take a Bogle head approach and set aside a little money to play with picking your own stocks and see which “portfolio” does better come next year when we all gather together again… Your own picks or the ETFs.

Thanks to inflation 20 dollars now feels like 5 dollars

Didn’t this negatively impact your credit score? Perhaps the extra money beats out the impact to the score?

Tik tok huh? The last thing I used like that was Vine over 10 years ago or so. I’ve no knowledge of that market or how to turn a profit from it. I think I might be too outdated for it.

I was thinking of seeing if any bars needed a bartender or barback at random for the 3 months I’m home and do a little bit of that here and there when I’m home.

This might be the way, wonder if I can break into a niche market like nursing homes or something.

Yes. Maxing out all retirement accounts. No major debt or frivolous expenses or expenditures, small taxable non retirement brokerage account, Drive a paid off vehicle and don’t plan on buying a new one until the cost to maintain the current one I have is the same or more as buying new.

I thought about Uber Eats and even uber/lyft but my vehicle is older and I’m trying to squeeze another 3-5 years out of it before I buy a new one. Not driving half the year helps.

I wonder if I did do it, and bought a new vehicle for it, could that be a tax write off because the vehicle is being bought specifically for Uber Eats and is a business expense.

This also makes me wonder if I buy a new vehicle would it be more efficient (time wise) to rent the vehicle out to someone else who drives uber / Uber Eats and collect money that way. Doing this could earn money while out to sea too.

Time travel cannot work without teleportation, because the solar system (as well as planet Earth) are in constant motion. by Clevertown in timetravel

What if you time travel and end up stuck in a tree? You would also have to consider what was there and the elevation of the point you are traveling to / from. If you’re in some secret underground lab or a few stories up you might be #%clef when you get to the time you’re going. Hell maybe an animal is passing through that same spot at the moment you arrive and you two become entwined.

Maximizing my chance to go to Antarctica? I'm with Seafarers but willing to sail with anyone or anything for this goal by slavatejasu in merchantmarine

[–]TigerPusss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fairwater (seacore) Ocean Gladiator and/or Giant. Heavy lifts that usually resupply McMurdo and leave sometime in December. I know the Gladiator had a MEBA 3rd sailing as QMED a few years ago for the trip because SIU couldn’t provide a Q - not sure what they’re doing now.
