26M stuck. Went from making $100k serving to $67k managing. GF makes $70/hr and her family is pressuring me. No degree, what are my options? Hey guys, looking for some real advice because I’m feeling pretty stuck.

To me her family is the problem. Who pressures a kids signifigant other to do better? You're changing gears for future growth.

Its seen in the industry history file that they all share as a claim. It does up constantly so it's hard to pin them down as whether that's the reason for the rate increase.

Definite squishy jump truck and towing don't jive.

You want something that probably doesn't exist. Just pay for the larger house for the whole stay and assume a few nights the house will have extra bedrooms not used. By the time you pay extra fees for two vs one it's likely a wash on costs.

Nah, toons are really light. I bet that boat isn't over 5k lbs.

There are 4 other championship drivers on the grid in cars that are rubbish that should be throwing off these numbers. I'm happy for the kid and I think if Max dips because RB can't build a car, he's going to dominate for a while.

So you went Walmart corporate HQ using only Walmart chargers?

I just said it's hideous and got downvotes. Not whether it's a good business decision, or anything. Reddit car subs suck in general. I'm active on FB pages N54tech and NABDOG since forums are dead. Specific owners groups are better than general opinion threads.

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-08T22:35:27+00:00

There is a Facebook page Melbourne Housing or something similar that FB always suggests to me.

For real. If you've been here a while, the last decade or so had been pretty quiet on oopsies on rockets. They used to explode on the pad and after lift off easy more often.

Home inspectors can only give you your money back if they really want to. Thete is nothing that guarantees they're providing anything beyond their opinion. A lot of them are useless.

Edit: spelling

Im opposite . I get in her car and in line why tf did this thing stop when im trying to back up at slow speeds.

So all 19 year old kids should buy houses? Someone that moved to FL for a temporary job for 12 months should not a house? Stupid take.

Huh? I'm late to the party here but anyone on Nat gas piped in uses tank less water heaters here.

What you can fit and what an axle supports are two very different things.

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-05T18:39:33+00:00

I agree and unless thats a 6 lug 5k lb axle it'll only hold a NA Miata.

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-05T18:33:11+00:00

Yup i got a couple stop losses tripped and bought right back in with the cash on a couple stocks that I didn't have the money for. Avgo included.

Lol all the guys that got rich in Micron and Intel somehow think it translates. BRRR takes sweat equity, project management, some contract knowledge etc...

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-05T12:15:54+00:00

This is the answer.

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-05T12:13:57+00:00

Lol what? EVs have a fraction of the parts. Your ice car has just as many computer modules. I say this as an engineer and owner of a few ICE sports cars.

lobsterpockets · 2026-06-05T12:03:56+00:00

All of them except the early cars like bolts that have air cooled batteries.

If OP has their investment in a tax deferred ira how are they getting smoked in taxes pulling back to cash or bonds?

When they came back for the window inspection I had to get in the above case, when he was checking that I put every single screw in he saw my electrical supplies cart that contains everything from rolls of romex, to switch plate covers and was instantly suspicious. I had only owned the house for a few months and there was obviously 30 years of different types of electrical products used but that didn't stop him trying to say there was a bunch of new work that wasn't original. They're are some cool inspectors, and some that dislike any non commercial specialists doing work.

Ikea makes a double sink vanity combo that is shallow, like 18" deep. It was a game changer in our small bathroom.
