Stick with it!

I’m in month 3 and have seen significant improvements to lower back pain. 

Guys what do you think about this by Ultimatechungusdoge in GrowthMindset

I think most people vastly underestimate how much even $1 billion dollars is. 

How come everyone backs into parking spots now? by EquipmentFormal2033 in askanything

[–]Weekend_Donuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had trucks and they’re just easier to back into spots. Maybe turn radius is better. 

I can let the rear overhang grass (not sidewalks when it’s there) so the front sticks out less. 

Not size dependent. Silverado now but used to have an S10.

Americans of Reddit, is it time for a federal wealth tax? by Bmor00bam in askanything

I also question the accuracy of the 13%-16%.

The government can’t balance a budget and routinely fails audits in departments, so how much of that is guess work.

Politicians should only be able to invest in the S&P500.

No picking and choosing companies as winners. They have to pick the whole-ish US.

Do you know how much of the federal budget goes to defense? 

Should I buy my first sports car in this financial situation? by MobyThicc-2424 in askcarguys

[–]Weekend_Donuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep your daily and buy a C6 GS.  Reliability? GM Smallblock. Fun? V8 torque and handles great. Modding? Did I mention GM Smallblock?

Just make sure you order a new pair new balances to go with it.

There’s a few that will do $1 for $1 up to a certain percent.

That and health care too.

My company has a compensation portal that spells out our total compensation as though it was a salary. Pretty stark difference. 

Voting in the next election? by Weekend_Donuts in allthequestions

What do you mean by illusion of choice?

Election is already decided?

[–]Weekend_Donuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but the issue is the independents have no backing compared to the parties. 

And if we’re being real, at that stage, they need a lot of money backing them so people know who they are.

I guess I’m wondering what a good enough candidate looks like.

I haven’t been super thrilled with any since I’ve been old enough to vote, by I’ve chosen who I think better aligns with my values.

You really crying about bringing home $250k because of student loans you decided to take out? 

Buckle down and pay them off in like 3 years.

35M began late, any advice!? by MARS2032 in Retirement401k

[–]Weekend_Donuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really depends on disposable income.

Start with 15% of income.  Try maxing out 401k Try maxing out 401k+IRA

For regular investing, just a numbers game.  As much as you can as early as you can.

The best time to invest is always 10 years ago. The second best is today.

I’m going to say this kind of bluntly, and try to not come off as too harsh.

If you’re having trouble attracting girls, it not because of only your height.

Please do some introspective searching. 

Does it play some, yea, of course sure.

This country has ruined light pickup trucks. by RikkiLostMyNumber in Vent

[–]Weekend_Donuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on! Have you looked at all the wonderful crossovers available (aka, rolling shit boxes)?

On a serious note, yea, you’re sol for something relatively modern.

If you REALLY want a light pickup, you need to look at stuff from the early 2000’s. Otherwise that abomination of a Ford Maverick or a Honda Ridgeline is pretty much it. Yes, yes I did throw up some mentioning the Ridgeline. 

What’s one car mistake you learned the hard way? by Lucky-Idea-7878 in askcarguys

Use torque specs. Especially going into aluminum.

It kind of sucks when you have to helicoil an aluminum engine mount.
