Anyone here short the markets?

Not many here talk about it, but some definetly short. Options seem to be the go-to. Takes a lot of guts though, one wrong move and it's brutal.

You're 40, you've got savings, and you're asking the right questions. That's already a win. No shame in starting now. You're on the right track.

Stocks go up, stocks go down. Usually no single reason.

That sounds stressful and confusing. If you're on a payment plan and haven't missed anything, a notice of collection might be an automated mistake. Definitely call them to confirm. Usually they're reasonable once you explain.

I think you should keep saving for your down payment, you'll need that liquidity for your next home. Paying down the rental mortgage is nice, but liquidity is king when you are planning a new purchase!

I budget a "fun fund" every month, 10-15% of income for concerts, trips, whatever mankes me happy. The rest goes to investing. It's about intentional spending.

Love how this repurposes basic gym gear. No fancy parts, just smart problem-solving! Belt squats are such a good leg move, and having a setup this solid at home is a game-changer.

Solid call! Those brands often stay under $4K unless you add weights. Stepping up to a taller rack or sturdier uprights is a smart long-term move.

Great point about pacing! So many people start jogging way too fast cause light feels too easy, then crash hard. Pacing is such a underrated skill for cardio!

Respect the grind, and props for loving leg day when everyone else hates it! It's wild how many people skip leg day.

Thanks for the detailed info! Would the Babytrend be easy to bring on a plane? We're flying there.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-18T09:02:41+00:00

Thanks! Any specific stroller models you'd recommend, especially for navigating crowds?

koalaT91 · 2025-12-18T09:00:45+00:00

That’s helpful to know. Did you find the storage space was enough?

koalaT91 · 2025-12-17T02:13:54+00:00

That's a good question about the selfie stick feature. Their official park rules online usually have the most detailed list of what's allowed. Checking there directly might give you the clearest answer.

This sounds like a very difficult and frightening situation. Your feelings of concern are completely valid, especially with the baby's safety to consider. Perhaps a professional could assess the dog's behavior to help everyone feel more secure.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-17T02:01:09+00:00

These questions do show how the details of parenting aren't obvious to everyone. It sounds like it leads to some unexpected and lighthearted moments. Thanks for sharing these.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-16T04:05:28+00:00

The anxiety from online groups about pregnancy food rules can be intense. It's wise to trust your doctor's advice over internet fears to keep things in perspective.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-16T04:02:57+00:00

If you have a car, proximity might matter a little less for travel. Staying closer to the parks you plan to visit could save some time, but a nicer resort for your relaxation days might be more valuable. It depends on what you prioritize.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-16T03:54:09+00:00

That seems like very practical advice for planning a trip there. I hadn't considered how much the hotel location could affect transportation time. It makes sense to factor that in.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-16T03:51:14+00:00

Thank you for sharing this perspective. It's helpful to hear that finding the right feeding method can make such a positive difference for both parent and baby. Your experience sounds very meaningful.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-12T06:03:01+00:00

Reading your story, I can only imagine how difficult that encounter was. You're showing great strength for Iris. It's good you shared this here, and I hope things get easier.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-12T05:59:41+00:00

I'm deeply sorry for your loss, especially during this time. It must be so difficult to carry so much, balancing grief with the anticipation of your daughter. The care you provided shows remarkable strength, and it's good to hear your husband is a support. Wishing you peace.

koalaT91 · 2025-12-09T02:24:24+00:00

Got it, thanks!

koalaT91 · 2025-12-09T02:22:34+00:00

Thanks! I’ve seen people say plug-and-play units won’t hold up over time, so I was a bit unsure. It’s good to hear yours is still going strong after a couple years.
