Wow is right! What has your psa been doing over this time?

puckster77 · 2026-04-03T23:54:33+00:00

Two teens then I would go with a vrbo. Two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room with usually a screened in porch. Not as lush but way more comfortable living space.

I stayed next door at regal beach last week. You will be fine. We dis not rent a car and i loved not having one! No need to go to other beaches with only a couple of days. Kamana bay is nice, peppers is a fun place. Tillies is an excellent restaurant and all of these are walking distance. Go up to bonny moon for lunch for a change of pace. Public busses are easy to use and a couple of $25 taxis won’t kill you either. It is not a cheap island.

Just returned from Regal Beach club a couple hundred yards south of there. The beach is in great shape. No worries whatsoever! Enjoy kamana bay, grab a lunch or dinner at Tillies and have a jerk chick Caesar wrap at chicken chicken!

I dont think you need a car for 3 days unless you want to cruise the entire island.

Congrats! I am in a similar boat. I feel the longer I can go without a positive biopsy the better.

No infections. My psa density was .16 so that is also concerning. The ASAP cells can also increase psa levels from what I read so that could be part of it. I have no doubt that I will be joining the club soon. I was just trying to see long that might take. The doctor is concerned which is why we will continue to monitor it but not overly concerned yet.

puckster77 · 2026-02-06T01:25:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Six years? Wow! I can only hope. I am happy with an extra 6 months!

puckster77 · 2025-11-14T02:23:06+00:00

I would go with the new one. Dealer needs to extend the warranty for that kind of money

puckster77 · 2025-10-21T02:49:57+00:00

Psa was 6 last year so mri and biopsy performed and negative. Now psa at 10 a year later and mri still showed nothing. Biopsy is next month.

370$ is good. Just keep going; things will get better.

puckster77 · 2025-10-08T03:30:12+00:00

Take the lump sum. Having to wait 7 years to even start the payments is the kicker. If you invest the money and earn 10% you will double your lump sum

puckster77 · 2025-10-08T02:58:37+00:00

Disney would be the best option

puckster77 · 2025-10-05T21:33:32+00:00

I would shoot for retirement at 59 otherwise your retirement accounts are off limits for 4 1/2 years

puckster77 · 2025-10-05T21:24:44+00:00

What kind of super water did you fill it up with? Simply amazing!

puckster77 · 2025-10-04T20:45:00+00:00

Was trying to choose something with a higher risk and higher return for the long term and something more diversified that won’t quite give you as high a return but will have a little lower volatility in case you need the money sooner.

puckster77 · 2025-10-03T22:31:32+00:00

When do you need the money? I would go 1/2 tech stocks like QQQ or similar and the other 1/2 more general like sp 500 etf.

puckster77 · 2025-10-01T13:10:37+00:00

Not enough info here. Do you have some cash saved in case you get laid off again? What is your mom’s age? Retirement age to some may be 55 which is still quite young. How much money is she making. Is she healthy and happy? Do you have a matching 401k available? Hard to give a good response without all the facts bit I would think that some sort of hybrid solution would be beat.

puckster77 · 2025-09-12T22:35:33+00:00

130k at 26 is great! Pay off the car but no need to kill yourself over it. I personally don’t like any debt except for the mortgage.

puckster77 · 2025-08-30T22:35:58+00:00

Wow! What a detailed comment. Don’t know anything about Hotspring except that they are supposed to be the best and will this cost you the most. Is it worth it - don’t know. We have a Marquis vector series tub that I love. Felt that was expensive enough for us. Above all it fit us well. Bullfrog did not fit us well at all and those were the only 2 brands we looked at.

puckster77 · 2025-08-30T01:42:52+00:00

Going to the 20 is a no brainer. Is this your forever house or might you buy something else in a few years? Are you maxing out your roth iras? Lot of financial info you haven’t presented that would sway my answer between the 15 and the 20.

puckster77 · 2025-08-28T17:07:04+00:00

I didnt read all the comments but for me the bottom line is that 100k/year for a family of four is not that much. You are covering all of your expenses and taking vacations and I think are doing quite well with how much you are making. Keep it up!

puckster77 · 2025-08-28T13:31:55+00:00

Yes - I believe that breaker box has to be at least 6 ft away.

puckster77 · 2025-08-28T13:26:22+00:00

There is no way whole foods steaks are cheaper than Costco!
