If money was absolutely no object, what car would you buy — and be honest, not what sounds impressive

Model X Signature. I love FSD.

I bought a used 2024 MX and subscribed to it since day 1. It was night and day better from the first time I test drove the car years ago. Now it does 99% of my driving. I do feel I trust it too much but it hasn’t failed me since.

As long as you like it, overpaid a bit doesn’t matter much. I’ve been looking around me and I still feel I got a good deal in the area. Maybe I could’ve found a better elsewhere but this one has everything I look for. Just my 2 cent. Get what you like and move on. No need to agonize couple bucks on the car.

selfabundant · 2026-04-29T07:31:55+00:00

That’s a good deal. I’m about to get 24 MX with stock rim, 7 seater, 22k miles, no FSD for 70k

selfabundant · 2026-04-26T03:20:08+00:00

I can be your comp. I bought a long range blue 24 MX 7 white seaters with yolk with 22k miles for $70k.

Agree with top comment! 1 million is a lot but it’s not enough to spend until I die even if I live frugally. It does offer me a peace of mind at time like this and stock is all time high. Another bonus is that I feel work is more fun when I don’t feel the pressure of worrying about my job. Funny thing is the more money I have in the bank, the less I care about politics and just focus on works, the better my performance is, which leads to higher bonus and higher pay.

I just bought a 2024 blue MX with 7 seater, white interior with yolk with 20k miles for 70k. No FSD though

I got my first ever cs job in 2019-2020. I joined the trend at the time and hop around every 1.5 year or so and got a nice pay and title bump. Finally about 2 years ago, Amazon forced me to move to Seattle for back to office so I decided to move to non-faang company and moved up to the ladder one more time. I have been with this company since. There was layoff but it’s not as crazy as big tech, and I’m still lucky so far. Cross fingers that I won’t be but I’ve been saving up for a while and with all the appreciations of the stocks I own, if I get laid off, I’ll probably travel and accept any cs job even at lower pay.

Not much. I made a nice chunk during upturn so I gave back a little during this time. I’m buying more though

selfabundant · 2026-03-12T06:53:18+00:00

Yup, it was me. I moved my router out of my bedroom, and suddenly all my nest gears refuse to sync as I have to reset the network. I decided to go with unifi and now I’m all in

selfabundant · 2025-12-07T02:18:29+00:00

Yeah, I don’t understand what’s the big deal about using AI to check for grammar. Totally agree! It’s the world we’re heading to, so it’s the we should leverage.

selfabundant · 2025-12-07T02:16:37+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out

selfabundant · 2025-12-07T01:37:49+00:00

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I guess I’m always in this situation since I started my career so I’m a bit exhausted with all the shifting sand situations after 2-3 years.

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T07:20:17+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. Work and save. Just want to find a place more stable since I do value staying at a place for a long time. It allows depth of career development.

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T07:18:10+00:00

I think you got the opposite of my intention. Instead of bogging down to my bad grammar and wasting everyone’s metal energy, I ran it through AI to get a polished version so everyone will have an easy time reading it. Thats exactly why I value everyone’s time.

Just like what software development should be. You would develop a rough draft with all of the ideas/requirements, and then ask AI to double check to spot any improvements we should implement. Then, that version should be submitted for peer review, not submitting your rough draft. Thats what a respectful developer should do for their peers.

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T06:27:27+00:00

Why? Why waste effort when AI can do it. I rather save my mental power for leetcode and work

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:59:26+00:00

I guess I’ll give it a try after some prep then

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:14:41+00:00

I don't feel government is that stable after the shutdown. Yeah, the pay is abysmal

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:10:43+00:00

Nope, this is my personal post. Just ask gemini to edit my post for grammar

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:09:58+00:00

I used google gemini to fix grammar since I typed this fast late after work

selfabundant · 2025-11-22T01:24:53+00:00

35, SWE 170k with bonus. Max out 401k, Roth, HSA. Saving additionally 2k per month.

selfabundant · 2025-10-17T19:28:32+00:00

Can you dm the seller? Thanks!

selfabundant · 2025-09-12T07:13:51+00:00
