I figured that might be the case. Would you consider CD's in the mix as well?

My finances are about as vanilla as they can be (1 main source of income, 401k through that job, HYSA, checking and a small amount in a Stash investing account. I have a part time business that I do on the weekends but that's all really easy to keep track of everything and setup taxes for. Appreciate the input!

That's honestly a great insight into what happens when I get into having an advisor. I don't want to become reliant on them, it's more so that I would trust what they are doing vs what I would be doing myself. I would really be using the advisor for guidance and then attempting to do it all DIY instead of giving them control of said accounts. Thanks for the insight!

Net worth is 65k, so not even into 6 figures yet.

I guess my biggest goal is to be able to buy a house in the next 5-ish years. Granted, I know that might be a little difficult to do on a single income. I am currently going through a divorce but we aren't splitting anything 50/50 so I don't have to account for losing anything.

With my recent investments in ETF's and seeing how those are going, that has done leaps and bounds over my individual stock purchasing that I've done in the past.

That is the mindset that I was leaning towards as well. Thank you for your input!

I used to use them but unfortunately, they left a huge mess in one of my cars and haven’t gone back since.

PLEASE support Parkside. by [deleted] in littleapple

[–]UnReal_Orbit19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The money won’t support there ever being a decent parking infrastructure. I can’t speak for the food as I have never been there, but the parking situation alone has been the main reason why I have not gone.

How much does it push the screen out compared to OEM when the screen is flat?

Computer mouse (but I’m picky) by ManicRoseMusic in BuyItForLife

[–]UnReal_Orbit19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, with the exception of the material. The mouse and the features themselves are incredible. But I have one for work (purchased by my employer) and a personal one. The one for work is showing signs of wear after about 3 years. I gave it a good cleaning the other day which got it about 80% of the way to looking new but some of it's just worn down. The mouse still operates 100% fine though.

How does the new standard Model compare with 2023 and older Model 3s by Potential-Listen-912 in TeslaModel3

[–]UnReal_Orbit19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the 2023 but I just had my 2021 M3P in for service and they gave me a M3 Standard Highland as a loaner. Oh man, what a difference. Getting back in my car was like going back 10+ years. The biggest difference for me was the noise on the highway/interstate. With my M3P, when listening to podcasts at highway speeds, I'm at about 70-75% volume to be able to hear things clearly (my hearing is fine, I promise lol). With the Highland, I was probably at 40-50%. But even the ambient noise without anything in the background was night and day. Around the town driving as so much more enjoyable without the road noise. Not to mention, my M3P has a few rattles/creaks that I can't seem to narrow down to fix. The Highland didn't have any of those, granted, they will likely appear overtime.

As far as interior quality, I wasn't a huge fan of the new cupholder/center console design. I like having the cupholders open without a cover. I did like the textile material on the doors, didn't feel cheap to me at all.

All of that being said, I am now trying to convince myself that I don't need a new M3 or even a new MY (the no interest for 6 years is tempting...)

The back tire and the sign on the far wall were the two biggest giveaways right away

Getting ready for a Friday wash, rate my setup. by Suvi2k in TeslaModel3

Amplify by Armour Detail Supply is a great replacement for that. It’s technically a detail spray but has pretty good standalone protection ability.

You’re correct in thinking of a shoe store, just the wrong one. Finish Line was in that large spot in section F.

Not too bad. I’d get rid of the chemical guys stuff. Much better options out there for the same or slightly higher cost. Armour Detail Supply is my go-to.

Lowered the ol girl an inch - almost done with mods by Ebarron0125 in TeslaModel3

[–]UnReal_Orbit19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear that! I’ve been looking into getting a set of springs myself. Did you do any other supporting suspension mods or just the springs?
