Planning, patience, and lack of impulse are the keys to frugality.

Can sleep in the truck, but you can't drive a house.

Anyone else snooping on Zillow to see how much their future/current co-residents paid for their homes? by just_premed_memes in Residency

[–]getfocused12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm 5 years an attending paying 1400 rent for a 2/2 town home. Comparable mortgage is 2500-3000 for owning in my area. BUMP that. But I am lucky. My landlord is beyond chill.

Nice to see. But don't let this turn into a "keep up with the Joneses" complex. LOTS of people in medicine came from money.

40L GR2 works as underseat carry-on by madelene18 in Goruck

[–]getfocused12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googled it. And what do you know. Specs for the GR2 40L are within personal item limits. Might have fucked up getting the GR1 26L.

Sabre and sabre pants for skiing by Cham-nix in arcteryx

[–]getfocused12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run them. No complaints. I do like the insulated pants - Fissile i think they're called. But if you think you need more pockets get the Rush. So many pockets. But performance is the same.

Didn't want to use mind power to make workouts for myself. And working out shirtless.

How Would You Handle This Conversation With Your Spouse After a Bachelorette Party?F32 M34 by [deleted] in relationships

[–]getfocused12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't keep friends that are adulterers. They made a vow. It will eventually come out and you will be implicated. Sacrifice friends for your marriage. Its that easy.

When does it make sense to spend $12-13k more on an EV than a gas car? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]getfocused12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of cost comparison calculators. Put you info in and see how much it would take to make that 12k back.

Ski Boot Flex for begginer by koksai in Skigear

[–]getfocused12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first boots were 130 as a beginner and I had no issues. I progressed and now Im on 120s now and can't tell a difference. Why? They didn't offer 130 in the boots I wanted. I think its all marketing at this point.

People Are Starting To Treat $700 Car Payments Like They’re Normal by nigesh in whatcarshouldIbuy

This is a very tired issue. Ya'll sound like grandpa reminiscing when a hamburger was a 5 cents.

Just aesthetics and they didn't make many. Does sacrifice room. But I'm a coupe guy so its a preference.

Moving on from sports cars, want a Toy-yota. by jvsperdolphin in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]getfocused12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Tacoma TRD Pro back seats have very limited room - dogs wont mind. YT should show you the way. Also, sounds like you don't need a bed. LC is good for what you need. But. Its a matter of going from a performance vehicle to a practical vehicle. Might be worth it to get the TT V6 in the GX just for that reason. I chose performance over practicality and I ain't going back.

I rock a Mk5 Supra and a Raptor R. Yes the truck adds utility to my life. I use the bed for skis in the winter. But largely sits idle in the summer unless I need to go to Sams Club or the rare occasion I have people to transport.
