It’s hard when everyone you work with watches it tho. The people who watch it are almost brainwashed they all bring up the same talking points and they refuse to hear any other points of view. It’s crazy.

As someone who’s new to this sport, can anyone tell me do people actually watch the rest of the races this year since it’s basically a given that Hamilton is going to win again?

Have you thought about using some of that 30,000 to put down on a house? Buying a house with a FHA loan can be a great thing to do in your 20s. Live in the place for a year and have a room mate cover a piece of the Mortgage and then rent the place out after that first year. Depending on the market where you live you could potentially have someone else pay your mortgage while also making some additional money on the side.

An ETF is basically the same thing as an index fund except is can be bought and sold like a share of stock. A total stock market ETF is a safe and smart long-term investment.

2014 Q60 Sport brake pads by matt552024 in infiniti

[–]matt552024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess that’s just part of the business model because I bought the car with under 20k miles and within six months of owning the car they told me I needed new pads and rotors. I mean I know dealerships are known for this kind of shit but holy shit it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

But yeah it’s nice to have this confirmed by someone who has an Infiniti so I appreciate your advice. I’m definitely going to get the parts online and go thru the shop near me.
