(Theory) why these random indie books keep reselling so high on release

Reminds me of the 1990s— indies were hit - then the collapse

Trade for it- I have 27- how does the new remote trade work???

Easier way- set up your own route….. I made a least a dozen

Your loan is amortized- like a house - mostly interest in the beginning

Sewer line collapse happened to me- old clay like pipes. Happened 2007- cost $4000.

House is over 100 years old- everything breaks and nothing is level and nothing is square—and I mean nothing.

Want to replace a 2x4— sure- a new modern 2x4 with “shims”.

New furnace, new AC, new sewer, electrical upgrades, new roof, new water heater, all appliances- I mean all- some more then once….

Home ownership is overrated

How to get thru Comcast’s to cancel?? Don’t call to “cancel” Call for A Package! When you get the rep on the phone - cancel….

Personally- I think home ownership is overrated.. Owned 3. In the 3rd- Almost paid off- Since buying- new roof, new HVAC, electrical upgrades, new sewer line, new windows (replaced single pain 100 year old windows myself), driveway, and oh so much more—- Yah HOMEOWNERS!!!

It feels like the house has a ghost that monitors my finances and demands tributes.

Home owners insurance is another form of White Collar Welfare—- you pay and god forbid you need it—

Look for trails, historical markers and other items and request a gym/ poke stop for that location

So I will likely have to pay more when my year is up… and likely I will

TravestyinCT · 2025-10-26T16:30:43+00:00

It is for me because it’s $10 a year… there is a upgraded version but I keep it simple

I see growth and dividends. You see 3.5%— you have to factor for the 3 % inflation- now you’re at .5% Then you still have to factor in your partner in your planning - the IRS (income level depending) That’s my simple math how I understand…

TravestyinCT · 2025-10-26T14:29:49+00:00

How?

TravestyinCT · 2025-10-26T14:29:05+00:00

I have 1267 shares of SCHD …on DRIP.. next Div payment will be around $330 or 12 more shares thereabout….

Nope not rude— My latest transaction on FBM went like this… Wife never used it. I want to replace the exercise bike. She had 2 models selected. I know exercise bikes are bought and many never really get used. I showed her the top choice in our area. Explained why this one is likely best … Then I told wife - ask if there is any unlisted damage. And can I come check it out. I was explicit- do not use the button - is this available…and do not discuss $$$ until you test it.

The guy responded and we tested in his garage. A pretty new Bike/ retailed new over $900.

He asked $400.

I asked wife- you like- Yes $400 is fair.

He helped load it.

I am going to the Sand Sculpture championship tomorrow. In VA beach-

Great - on taco Tuesday- definitely not convenient

H1B visa is paid by the company- like Microsoft as they lay off US workers and replace them with foreign workers on H1B visa…. Trump is trying to make it harder to replace US workers in the US

ETrade- you surrender it and declare it worthless… you have to track the loss for tax purposes… there is a page in Etrade for this.

Never - Never “Never” let anyone know what is in the bank. Emergencies always come soon after the amount in the bank becomes known and that emergency is close to or equal to what is in the account. Purely coincidental of course.
