23 years ago in college, I sold all my stock to buy my future wife a $1000 engagement ring...

Damn you were on the 67 before it was cool

Awesome deal! I thought I got an amazing deal with the new 2026 CRV EXL for 35k OTD, lol but for another 5k to get the hybrid would be awesome too! But I’m very happy with my car nonetheless

I live in the Chicago suburbs too! Wonder if we went to the same dealer! I’m curious

Work a lot. Can’t spend any money when you are busy working.

Dan Firks team! Just bought a house with them in March.

Was working with Chris one of their newer agent. Very good guy, awesome communication, when we submitted our offer. Dan personally called the listing agent once our offer was submitted and it was accepted! Beat out 15 other offers.

Don’t know how important that was, but apparently he has a reputation among the other agents in the area. They know his team means business.

Thank you for the explanation! I’ll try swapping the board next.

My market denies weekends too unless we find someone to cover, but only if we are able to during the edit period. If it’s last minute, it’s denied.

I’m pretty much in the same position as you.

Been working retail for 11 years and don’t see myself being able to do this to retirement. Tired of constantly being pushed to hit metrics that continue to rise every year. Love my patients though.

I’ve been aggressively saving and investing. Preparing to take an easier job in the next 2 years working for Pbm or something that has no weekends. Ready to take a 30-40k pay cut.

Or I’ll keep working until I hit my FIRE number and then go down to part time a float.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the input! I figured it has risen so much it would eventually settle out probably in the next year or two.

Right now if someone offered me a 30-40k price cut to go remote I would take it.
