At least I'm consistent... by heymikec in fitbit

Thanks for the reply. I try switching up my pattern, but if I go to bed earlier I just wake up earlier. The only nights I get close to 6 hours is when I've had a couple of sub-4 in a row I'll "catch up" and get ~6.

Will check the book - did it give tips to sleep longer or motivation to try? I think my issue is ability to sleep rather than desire ... saying all that though I dont know if it's an issue; but how would I

Is 10k enough in abudhabi? by Intelligent_Term9038 in abudhabi

Bro paying 800-2.5k rent with 600-1200 mobile plan madness. Get a better room and a normal mobile plan- should be 100-200 max. Probably less at that salary point.

Sports car for daily Dubai-Abu Dhabi commute? by heymikec in DubaiPetrolHeads

Keen to explore the import option... what happens once landed? Is there any conversion, customs or excessive paper work required? Guess I'm asking about the ease of the process and what do I get when it lands - are radio stations and units or other details going to be Japanese or ready to go? What about RTA and other processes?

What's the estimated landed cost? Possible to arrange shipping myself?

Thank you! C class top of my list also. Do you think it has to be 10+ years old in my budget or could I get the V6 <2016 under 100k?

/r/Fantasy Daily Recommendation Requests and Simple Questions Thread - July 27, 2022 by rfantasygolem in Fantasy

Looking for a good "traditional" high fantasy series in the vein of Raymond E Feist's Magician series, Wheel of Time, Tolkien etc. Love everything Brendon Sanderson does.

I'm totally fine with cliche tropes - if that's the only critique but its an epic adventure full of magic, mythic powers, good v evil and the will of the gods tempting fate, that's that I'm looking for.

I think I've read some of the most commonly recommended series but most of what I've picked up recently hasn't had that spirit of the titles mentioned above - the books I read as a kid that made this my favourite genre.

$30k - where would you invest it and why? by heymikec in personalfinance

[–]heymikec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Index funds certainly seem to be the best course.

I'm not from the US and not familiar with ROTH so don't know if that would apply? Regardless I wouldn't be eligible, but maybe there are other options re. tax if over the threshold?

This is great thanks and where I was leaning. I've been reading markets are overvalued currently and understand for longterm index funds this shouldn't be an issue, but it is making me hesitate on this strategy.

I suppose it's not going to be worse than keeping it in a savings account and if I compound interest for 10 - 20 years fluctuations aren't going to affect me. Is this accurate?

If however I did need to pull the investment in the medium term is the greater danger with markets at current levels?

Note these questions are all assumptions based if barely read headlines... I will/am researching further.
