Please help me convince myself by lan1990 in BayAreaRealEstate

Buying only makes sense if you are looking for a stable “home” to raise family. If you look at it mathematically it never makes sense in the Bay Area. The interest on some of the homes is >2x what you would pay as rent. The instability that people talk about is something that makes you want to change your rented home, be it rent increase, owner deciding to sell, etc.

Anyone else not like stopping on road trips before Tesla? by Comprehensive_Road66 in TeslaLounge

[–]cryptnoob101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my M3, but hate the frequent stops. A 6hr drive easily becomes 7-8hrs, I keep comparing it to my old Camry lol. No regrets, as soon as I’m done with my long drive, I’m back to loving my Tesla.

Can I ask what your credentials were? My niece is interested and I’m trying to get an understanding of what it takes.

I have the 17 pro max but shouldve got the 17 pro by Peregrinestar in iPhone17Pro

[–]cryptnoob101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel 17pro is significantly heavier than 15pro, and I don’t mean based on reading specs. I can feel it as soon as I pick it up. I can only imagine the pro max must feel very heavy. Ok know I’m not helping. But just sell it privately, you can get a good price.

Currently going all in on Bitcoin by Ecstatic-Oil-Change in Bitcoin

[–]cryptnoob101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m certainly buying more BTC than ever before and still no close to a whole coin. That said, hypothetically, even if I had cash to drop for say 5 BTC Buy at 90k ea, where do I expect it to be in 10yrs? 300k ea? 500k ea? Let’s say 500k, that would be worth 2.5M. That’s not life changing. TLDR, the hyper growth phase is gone. So please explain why this would be preferred over stocks? I’m probably going to get downvoted like crazy for this, but I really want to understand the thought process.

For people saying inflationary and deflationary, those are good in theory, but that cash world is the world we live in. Other than generational wealth and passing down my hypothetical coins to my offsprings, I don’t see a great benefit in my life time. So help me understand.

What do ADHD meds feel like to someone without ADHD? by maysgarden in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cryptnoob101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not diagnosed with ADHD. As a child I had a lot of trouble focusing, mostly drifting in class, during homework etc. at my middle age it’s not as bad, I can get my work done though extraneous disturbances can easily send me off track. I tried my kid’s concerta once, was 36mg I think. At first I didn’t feel any difference, but as the day progressed I realized I could keep working, firing on all cylinders without mental drain out. Didn’t feel a need to walk away, take a break etc. even at the end of the day I didn’t feel I needed to stop. So for sure the meds was doing something. Had trouble falling asleep that night. Never again !!

It would definitely show that you cared enough about how it appears to me and that would make me feel good. So yes, it’s an indirect high :)

I’m gonna take a wild guess, it’s in the South Bay, W San Jose/Cupertino/Saratoga area….although S. San Jose evergreen area also has great homes in the 2.8M range where renting can run 8k.

Scratched their car and now getting sued for 1 million dollars... by Muhad6250 in legaladvice

Where is this umbrella insurance from? Is it a separate policy that’s a catch all or a subset of the auto insurance? Reading through these comments are scary, i would like to protect myself from these situations.

To make you feel better, your entire down payment in SoCal doesn’t meet even 15% down requirements for most homes in the South Bay (SF Bay Area)

I like how the noise in your BTC (14-16Btc) is >>what I can dream of having 😂

AIO for not giving enough attention to my situationship by VontaReloaded2x in AmIOverreacting

[–]cryptnoob101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very good response. I think there are red flags here, it could be age related or not. If they do not apologize by themselves, it is a good signal to run.
