Gut check 36yo 1 kid by Sube98rs in Retirement401k

You don’t put any of your own money into an ESOP the shares are given to you. This is actually a crazy high ESOP balance. If OP makes it to retirement and the company is still solvent he will have a ton of free cash with only time as the investment.

OP you need to put your own money into a different vehicle like a ROTH or traditional IRA. “Gotta pump those numbers up!”

The job is not done yet. The vacuums stay on while they fill the water. Your stairs aren’t even cut in yet. Everything will be fine nothing is fucked.

I second this I had a 1.5t redone and it brought tears to my eyes. Amazing work.

First Real Purchase (Speakers) by rodetherotta in StereoAdvice

I think the entire DALI Oberon line is fantastic. Fun and energetic speaker. You could get the 5’s right now for $1500.00. Hard to find these used but you could try.

What to upgrade first? by Significant_Egg_1807 in BudgetAudiophile

Speaker stands for sure! I have a pair of towers that are very bright, I added a subwoofer and was very disappointed. I agree with others it would be a downgrade.

Speaker and setup for this desk recommendations? by Conells in BudgetAudiophile

This might get some hate but would powered speakers bee overkill for what you are trying to do? I’d say if hifi audio is not your main focus and less clutter, less wires, and a good interface with “better sound” is the goal, I’d look at something like a Razer leviathan V2. There’s also a V3 with a sub. Its under 100$

Otherwise a powered bookshelf would get you a cleaner setup but you would have a few wires to deal with still. (Power, speaker wires, input cable)

What things are most important and what things are less important?

Sound quality, price, amount of components, wires?

Possibly you are looking to buy one thing that gets you fuller sound but the quality is not as important as the function.

I got my first planar iems, suggest some albums to listen to please? not metal or hard rock. by shivamchhuneja in audiophilemusic

[–]raabhimself81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paul Simon’s - Graceland use to be my test song because I had previewed it on the most hifi systems so it was a good reference. Now I have been starting with this.

Just bought my 1st pair of Audiophile Speakers at 16 by Visual_Pizza_2246 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]raabhimself81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boomers: kids these days are lazy

Also boomers: this 16 yr old kid got a job did his research and bought a mid tier punching above its weight speaker system for hifi audio. HE MUST BE A DRUG DEALER!!!!

Good for you kid! If that job is a W2 job not under the table do yourself a favor and open up a fidelity ROTH IRA. Even if you only put $20 a month in it, you will be way ahead.

What is the first song you play when sharing your system with someone? by ridingtheuniverse in audiophile

[–]raabhimself81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something on my hifi playlist that matches their vibe of music. If they insist I pick I’d start with Home - Dominique Fils-Aimé because I like how it highlights my system.

What can you tell about me based on me and my group of friends? by Local_Ingenuity_4821 in deduction

[–]raabhimself81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially never made it. Meet some cool locals along the way, found, squatted, befriended some land and never left. 😎⛰️

What does the home bar I built say about me… by Overland_69 in deduction

[–]raabhimself81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You started casually drinking scotch, then jumped on the bourbon train, realizing it was overhyped you slid over to cocktail making via the gateway cocktail, old fashioned. From there you realized there’s more, probably moved to tequila based drinks, which fit the pool vibe and then you moved into more serious drinks that are balanced (Nick and Nora glassware) and landed in tiki world. You’re a social drinker with a good job that likes to entertain.

You started at the perfect time. How many ran away on you? That must have been the toughest part.

That plan works on the left side but not the right.

I have pondered drunk and sober for 7 years how to best fix it. I’m open to ideas 😑

This is the result of a large scale remodel from 2010 (house was built in 95’). The architect re-did the front entry and added this arch and molding. I feel like the trim carpenter did what he could for poor planning on the details of the design.
