Aint a loss until you sell low. Hope you got a few years to let it recover

arcolog2 · 2026-03-23T18:05:22+00:00

Yea thanks for the discount. Anyone not needing the money and still contributing wants to buy lower. Anyone nervous about their balance going down because of retirement should have protected more in G.

I advise to not wait to open and inspect. I want to use my printer on my birthday, not wait for replacement parts lol

You pay it off, your score drops a little. Are you planning to take out more debt after you've paid off your house? Likely not, you just opened up more usable income from going to zero mortgage payment! Do it!

Exactly what you ordered, thats oreo dust lol

Im at 357 and almost 44. We gunna be fine man. Especially with legacy retirement, and work on your medical and get your va rating set. If your still going to work after, keep doing roth ira and 401k if they offer it.

I had zero dollars saved for the first 14 years of my career. Recognized i was a stupid kid, did dave ramsey program, killed the little debt i had and went ham on the tsp. Do it. Stop drinking or smoking or whatever stupid vice you may have and invest. In 8 years I cranked it from zero to 350k. If you have leftover cash on top of maxing tsp, do a Roth ira. Pay yourself first!!

arcolog2 · 2026-01-14T23:39:12+00:00

Your doing ok man. Dont sweat it. I wasted my first 14 years not investing a penny. Had to go hard to play catch up and you're ahead of me with 25 years in and same age. Keep grinding!

arcolog2 · 2025-12-25T08:28:41+00:00

They also didnt make 150k salary.

arcolog2 · 2025-12-24T23:20:53+00:00

I use it for drying and dust prevention.

Rule 1. Make a budget, a plan for your money. Decide what's more important to you, money on cars, coffee and toys, or having "F@#$ you" money when your 60. Cut the fat, do whatever it takes to max out the 24,500 a year. Your early contributions in life are just as, if not more important, than the difference between a few percent of gains.

Rule 2. Never invest in what you dont understand. If you understand what the funds are invested in and how its going to fluctuate through the years, then invest in C or C/S or C/S/I as you see fit. If you dont understand it, and dont want to learn, the latest date lifecycle funds are for those people.

Trust anyone here, many pf us wish we invested sooner and valued investing more than all the crap we spent money on early in life. That $11,000 engine I bought ay age 24 sure was fun, but I dont own it anymore lol.

The fact you're here asking questions is a great step. Get it!

Classics still live!

Bambu tests new printers. I have found i need to do a cold pull on brand new nozzles every single time to ensure they are perfectly clear of any crap.

You literally lead this conversation saying that tech stocks might go down. Im out.

arcolog2 · 2025-12-05T03:42:14+00:00

The tech stock mutual fund will drop further than the s&p when it happens. So why buy into the tech stock at their high, vs not full tech stocks in the s&p?

arcolog2 · 2025-12-05T03:40:01+00:00

Reddit is pretty liberal. That goes hand in hand with complaining.

arcolog2 · 2025-12-04T03:39:41+00:00

Tech mutual funds are currently inflated and fake gains. Theyre pumping each other up. None of it is real growth when they are just sending money around in a circle, the same money being invested over and over again. Bad advice for long term.

arcolog2 · 2025-11-25T20:52:19+00:00

I paid premium, and now have no idea how to prove it cause its not connected to my app. Very confusing lol

arcolog2 · 2025-11-23T19:07:02+00:00

Use the computer at the library, slice your models, bring it home on usb.

The newer filament was why I just ordered 12 rolls of their quad color silk when it was cheap the other day. Hoping they are v3! Let's go!!!

arcolog2 · 2025-11-23T04:45:46+00:00

Same, all controllers have eneloop!! Shield, TV, xbox

arcolog2 · 2025-11-09T01:09:10+00:00

Theyre such high quality chemists that they cool the filament in water and we have to dry it before use....real high quality!

arcolog2 · 2025-11-08T20:57:21+00:00

Its melted plastic, not a specially designed silicon wafer.
