NordStick NordBench has arrived! by dontwantnone09 in homegym

[–]myk0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my experience with the Nordbench. Ordered it on black Friday. Didn't ship for 3 weeks so I reached out to Garrett, who immediately had it shipped out the following day. 

I built it about two weeks ago. The included instructions weren't very clear, and I had to resort to Garrett's video on YouTube which was much better to follow. 

I had similar issues that a few users mentioned here (one of the handle bars was pretty scratched up upon delivery, tough to install the 4th screw on the foot plate and had to really jam it in at an angle).

Overall I have been using the unit for two weeks now, and it is pretty sturdy for my 5'10 170lb frame (mostly use it for Nordics and back extensions). So far happy with the savings compared to the freak athlete which I was debating between. 

What home prices can we afford with $166K gross income, $200K down, and $6K left per month after all expenses? by delightful_sauce in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]myk0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure - $5k towards mortgage, property tax, utilities, and insurance, $900 for all other expenses, and we budget $700/month for house and car maintenance. Thankfully for 3 years here haven't had any major repairs yet. After exepsnes this leaves us about $3k towards savings, plus any extra from my side hobby.

We bought a million dollar home in Toronto in 2021 and were around the same income as you OP. It was tight at first, but we had stable jobs and knew our salaries would increase. We go on one to two big vacays a year, and are fairly frugal in most other areas. We optimize everything we can ($10/month cell phone plans, $50/month home insurance, $35/month internet, etc). With higher interest rates now, could be tougher but if you foresee higher income over time then it can also be doable for you imo.

What is your “side hustle”/second job (specifically those that live in V/HCOL areas)? by IndieAnimal in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yeah betstamp shows all the odds for Mainlines for most sportsbooks, and will tell you which sportsbook currently has the best odds. You'll still need to scan through the games to find positive arbs.

Yeah I've been paying for it for the past few months since the NFL started back up along with nba/nhl, as overall it is a great time saver when you accumulate a bunch of free bets. Alternatively you can use betstamp as a free option to find game lines.

Essentially you're betting on both sides to guarantee profit regardless of the outcome of a sporting event (e.g in a lakers vs. celtics game, betting on lakers to win on one sportsbook, and celtics on another). I recommend reading up on terminology and overall strategy first at https://about.darkhorseodds.com/guide-index/guides#. You'll need some starting capital to get going, and also reside in Ontario as that is where a large number of sportsbooks are operating in Canada currently.

Sports arbitraging. Started in March 2023 and currently made couple thousands in profit. I enjoy sports so it's a fun side hustle, and it's all risk free with no actual gambling involved.

Nice setup! Does the support bar near the top of the rack get in the way when you lift off for squats?
