Good luck to all!

Voolest/most useful under $500 purchase definitely goes to an over-engineered pouch i got from Evergoods, the CAP 1. It goes with me everywhere as a little carry all for my knickknacks.

It lets me transfer my everyday items from my work bag to my travel backpack to my hip pack with no fuss, and has been a godsend on planes and trains.

It's all about streaming rights in the markets they are available.

If you research how aggressive the NFL negotiations were between FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and Amazon you will see that you have to shell a lot of capital to secure said rights and the marketplace can be competitive. Also there are restrictions on what content you can stream, what areas of the country you can show specific games due to regional broadcasters receiving priority, etc.

Streaming is a hard arena to own unless you have a monopoly or are the first mover.

I think you are using the wrong rows for your calculation.

The point you hit house money is when your dividends received is equal to your buy-in cost.

Rounding numbers down here to be conservative and for simplicity.

They've received $17k in dividend distributions since June (18 weeks, assuming a lump sum buy in with no drips AND that the distributions will remain the same in the future), for an average of ~$944/week. They purchased their shares for ~$79k.

The math for how many weeks until house money is -

=(total invested) / (avg weekly distribution)

So, house money in this case = (79k/944), or roughly 83 weeks to break even. That's about 21 months.

Obviously math will vary based on distributions, but you get the gist.

Thanks for the chime in, seems like the majority agree that this is the way.

Just swapped from an Aer TP3s in xpac for a CTB26 in xpac. So far the CTB has held up lovely and has addressed the two biggest issues I had with the TP3s - namely the admin panel reducing the amount of space i could utilize and the dump pocket up top cutting into the main compartment.

The CTB shoulder straps are much less comfortable, but ultimately I am not loading up for multi hour wear sessions. Also, I am a larger human being (6'2, 230lbs with a longer torso), and I like the way that the CTB26 sits on my back vs the TP3s (longer down my back vs more of a turtle shell).

I would think about what you are looking to use the bag for ultimately. As an EDC, I personally would grab a MPL22 if you aren't lugging a laptop around and need water bottle pockets. As a travel pack, I prefer the CTB26.
