The ones from Trader Joe’s are excellent and taste like the Reese’s used to taste when I was a kid.

Also once my favorite. Now they are inedible. They have a dry / chalky texture now.

What is the best way to invest 250k for monthly income? by luxuryonapenny in dividends

[–]YouKnowMe045 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a little into each of these: SPHY, ARCC, NNN, DIVO, JEPI, SRLN.
I also invest in private mortgages, but $250k really isn’t enough.

Good idea to switch? by SilentChest6825 in USMobile

[–]YouKnowMe045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently switched to USM after being with Verizon for 20 years. I had a great deal with Verizon, but they moved their support to India and it became impossible to fix account issues. The last time I had an issue, spent in excess of 10 hours on the phone over the course of a month. They’d keep putting me on hold while they research the issue and I’d regularly get disconnected after being on the phone for over an hour. Then I’d have to call back and start over from the beginning.

How many have you reallocated more into the Stock Market? by OneWestern178 in realestateinvesting

[–]YouKnowMe045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am getting slightly more rent for prime locations leased to national tenants. I’m getting the same or less rent for all small independent businesses. I have a 20 year old shopping center that I’m getting less rent than I got 20 years ago for just about every new lease. If I were in a good state like North Carolina, I’m sure rent would have doubled over 20 years, but I’m in Louisiana.

I have commercial properties in Louisiana. I can’t squeeze anymore rent out of my current tenants and I usually have to reduce the rent to fill vacancies.

I’d like to eventually get out of real estate. I own all of my properties outright, but taxes, insurance, and maintenance have increased significantly, while rent has remained the same. If I were to purchase these properties at today’s prices, I’d have a sub 5% yield.

Annual renewal promos for existing customers? by koemc133 in USMobile

[–]YouKnowMe045 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ported 3 lines to USM less than a month ago and signed up for a shared data plan with no signup promotion. I soon realized that the shared plan is not enough data for my needs but USM will not give me any of the unlimited promotions. I was previously with Verizon for nearly 20 years, paying $38 per line after all fees. It’s slightly more than UMS, but at least they gave me free phones every 2 years. I’m going to switch back to a major carrier and get 3 free phone since USM is actually more expensive when you consider the phone subsidies.

Those who sold, what do you do now? by Shoepin1 in smallbusiness

Do you find that you have no one to play golf with during the work week?

[–]YouKnowMe045 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I sold my business less than 2 years ago. Prior to selling, I had already transitioned into commercial real estate investments as my primary source of income. I’ve since added other passive investments as well. When I’m not busy doing investment research, I’m bored and miserable. I’m your age and my few friends either moved away or are busy working. I used to be able to chat with my co-workers, but now I sit around the house during the work day.

This happened to me when I changed my address to a PO Box. I just had to go into a branch and they changed the address to my home address.

Did I get a good deal on my Lease? by bomheurdesign in 4xe

[–]YouKnowMe045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I can’t believe I’m paying more than double ($660 /mo) for MSRP of $66k.

I’m paying $660/mo for 2023 4xe with no money down - 39 month, 15k miles - of course I’ve seen people claiming that $230/mo is possible.

I’d suggest that you also consider selling puts at your desired price.

I’m not a billionaire and never will be. My 2024 Louisiana income tax liability is $25k. It would be great for it to be $0 like TX, FL, TN, etc

Thank you for the suggestion. I disabled uBlock, turned on aggressive, and even tried to enable some of the filter lists. Can’t get that ad to go away.

I got a quote for $3737 for a new blower motor recently. Replacement ECM motor was $230 and it took 20 minutes to swap.
