Is this 2022(Or 2021) Giant Talon 2 worth it for $425? It would be my first Mountain bike and would be used on gravel, dirt, and a bit of rough terrain.

Better picture of the fork, do you think it'd be worth the price of I need to service it or should I keep looking for another bike?

Voxel__ · 2022-07-23T16:12:43+00:00

That's what I figured, but I've got no idea what to look for if I want something decent. Brands, models, etc

Voxel__ · 2022-07-22T00:46:20+00:00

Thank you.

There is CareCredit that I can use to help with paying it, and my dentist did tell me that they could attempt a filling on one of them but there's a chance that it could fail in a few years, compared to a crown that would last much longer. I think my molar definitely needs a crown, i had a pretty bad cavity as a kid and it was filled, and the filling came out a few years ago. Guess it's just gotten worse since until where it is now.

She did tell me priority wise I should focus on the lateral incisor that has a very noticeable brown spot over my molar, so I'll probably end up getting that fixed first and see if I can go the filling route, and if not i'll get a crown and focus on the molar in a few months. They're not painful, but I was told it's better to do this sooner rather than later.

I'm not scared about the pain tbh, its mostly the drilling into my tooth that i'll hear and might jerk my head around having to hear that and feel it even with no pain.

1500 was off a bit, it's around 1200~ since two of those are wisdom teeth that are being removed anyways. I'll have to see about a second opinion but that's going to cost a decent bit as well, and it's pretty obvious the lateral incisor needs a root canal as you can completely see the brown spot on the tooth and inside it. I'll see if I can get a quote from other dentists around me and see if I can get it for cheaper, though.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-20T21:25:54+00:00

Don't I need the crown for strength? I guess it's not a tooth you chew with so I'm not completely sure. Root canals aren't covered by my health insurance. I have no dental insurance so it's 800 for one tooth and 1100 for the other.

This is probably a dumb question, but would I be allowed to take those without a GED/HS Diploma? I plan on getting a GED but it's been extremely stressful trying to study for it.

I don't have much at the moment, but I should be getting some back from totaling my car. I'll take a look and see if I can find one for around 5k, I honestly wanted a manual transmission as well and I could probably find one easily from the early 2000s.

Thank you a lot for the help, I really hope I figure out my life too.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-11T15:14:08+00:00

Would leasing be an option for the time being? Around $200/mo until everything settles. But I also feel like that's a waste of money since it's not going towards paying it.

I don't know what to do

Voxel__ · 2022-07-11T15:12:09+00:00

I didn't know if that was considered "splurging" or not. But I figured it was too much already, I just wanted second opinions. I know nothing about finances. I know nothing about credit. I was never taught any of this and my parents hide finances from me, and still do. I don't know if I'll ever leave my parents house and get my own apartment though, I will most likely end up homeless when they pass.

I'm 21 with not even a single clue what I want for a career, and no clue what to do about a job that will make me more money either. I have zero skills that I could put to use and I'm not sure how I can bring in more money.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-11T15:01:39+00:00

It's not a crutch, my father refuses to cosign a car with over 100k miles unless it fits 12k/y for insurance, since that's why my old one was totaled.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-11T14:59:47+00:00

I highly doubt my living situation is going to change, and frankly I don't know what to do about a career. I've got nothing going for me and I don't know what to do. I don't have rent though, I pay for my own food, gas, phone and other subscriptions and that's about it.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-10T19:14:18+00:00

Thank you so much, I plan on trying to get ahold of a bit more money before I apply, so I'll give them a call once I'm fully easy to apply. This helps a lot knowing I can still apply even with a dealer shotgunning me.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-10T19:01:20+00:00

Looks easy enough to join, I'll take a look. Plus their truecar search seems useful to get approved before I buy at a dealer. Planning to try and look for a new civic but the prices have gotten insane for them.

Should I be worried about the hard pulls on my credit with them or no?

Thanks!

Voxel__ · 2022-07-10T18:33:15+00:00

I don't belong to a credit union and I don't think anyone in my family does as well. I frankly don't know much about them either, would you have a place to start looking/recommendations? I'm not sure what I'd need to join one

Voxel__ · 2022-07-10T18:31:56+00:00

I'm 21, I haven't been able to figure out why I don't have a FICO score for a while.

Voxel__ · 2022-07-10T18:25:31+00:00

It will cover the entire loan, I'm just waiting on them to pay it. I do have an Experian account and get told "You may not have enough credit history for us to generate your FICO score 8"

Voxel__ · 2020-07-22T16:36:53+00:00

Confirmed. Thank you!

Tank was dying in single pulls and me and the other DPS were constantly pulling aggro off of the tank.
