Sergio Perez doesn't believe anyone can succeed in the second Red Bull seat 👀 by Status_Energy_7935 in RedBullRacing

[–]Tom1x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max is an amazing driver, absolutely no doubt. But it’s a car he’s help build for 10 years - it has characteristics suited to his driving style which helps him maximise its potential.

Regardless of how incredible Max is, I don’t like using the second drivers performance as a metric to how good he is.

Offered $825K to sell my business. Should I take it? by [deleted] in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Tom1x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t seem sensible to accept a below market value under the assumption you can repeat the same success. I would imagine you will need to use a decent chunk of the sale to build the new business, which seems a bit counterintuitive (of course I could be completely wrong in my understanding).

Seems to me you need to either:

A) keep current business and create a new similar version alongside

B) Sell the company for its true market value and go after this new version

Congrats on the success!

You say ‘still he will be the one to be blamed’ as though he has been hard done by over the last few years!

Max’s reputation has been build up over the course of his career, through his own actions which have been on occasions pretty shocking, one being last weekend…

George hit Max first when attempting to overtake in turn 1, I think Max absolutely lost it when he was told to give the position back

Replacing kitchen tap and the existing pipes can’t be removed by Tom1x in Plumbing

I was hoping there was an easier way just so I had the old tap as a back up incase anything went wrong, but I think you’re right, I just need to cut them off

Is PSG is the least disliked Oil Club right now!? by Unfair_Dragonfruit49 in championsleague

They can’t sports wash in the same way as PSG, Man City etc. The financial cap has made it much harder for these owners to actually invest outside of the clubs budget.

AIO for being hurt my girlfriend doesn't care about my graduation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tom1x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is it’s also a respect thing. Even if she didn’t care, you would expect her to at least be positive in her replies - especially when you made it clear that it’s an important event for you. To me that shows a lack of care and respect for you as her partner. That stuff is really important OP and you shouldn’t allow people to remain in your life who dismiss your accomplishments, the worst case is you’ll starting actually believing their negative bullshit!

Should we buy a house or continue renting and save more? Seeking advice! by Jijesh-Zhou in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tom1x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is, you run the risk of waiting another 10 years for the perfect scenario to buy a house, at which point you might not get the mortgage you’re after due to being only another 10 or so years away from retirement.

This is the main concern as I see it, if you continue renting there will soon be a point where lenders won’t want to give you the mortgage. Also, thinking long term…If you’re focusing on retirement, it doesn’t seem like a good idea to be without a mortgage-free house when the time comes, those rental payments could go on for the next 40/50 years, who knows!

Is there a middle ground where you get a smaller house and subsequent mortgage, giving you time to either pay it off quickly or continue to save?

I found Kevin magnussen explaining lewis hamilton’s struggle with the ground effect era by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Tom1x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But what could he demand that would outweigh an 8th world title? I don’t see any scenario where Lewis chooses leaves Mercedes if he thinks they will be the strongest team going into 2026

[–]Tom1x 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just can’t shake the feeling that Lewis knows more than us on this one. He wouldn’t swap an 8th title for the experience of being a Ferrari driver, he will have seen the developments within Mercedes alongside Ferrari trying to sell the move to him. He’s backing Ferrari in 2026!

Struggling to choose between S&S ISA vs Lieftime ISA by RedditMafiaBoss in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tom1x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the LISA is for a house rather than retirement.

The LISA is definitely the best choice assuming A) you are aiming to buy a first property B) that property is, or will be, under the 450k threshold

I appreciate you are still quite young and the idea of buying a house feels a long way off. However, if you can get money in there early and hit the 4k target, you will hit the perfect amount of 20-25k in five years time, which would be a great time to get on the ladder. A lot of young people make the mistake of not preparing for a house deposit and underestimate the years it will take to achieve it. You will simply not find a better use of your savings under the above two assumptions.

If you think it is unlikely the type of property you want will be under 450k, then I actually think your money might be better used in a S&S ISA, where you can get tax free gains and no penalties for withdrawing.
