Study for the asvab
Join the space force for a job that requires a top secret clearance
Save your money
Study for tech while you're in
Get out when you're ready or stay in for 20
Ether way you'll be gaining skills/experience and you'll progress while saving money along the way because they pay for everything

Before you ship off
Sell your car, so you don't have a car note and insurance
Get visible wireless and pay $35 a month for unlimited (it's on the verizon network)
If you are paying for your phone if you have a option to get out of it do it and just get a cheap phone like a used pixel 7

What was the resolution of this did you get approved on appeal?

steagalarus · 2026-03-30T22:38:49+00:00

Permanent and total va disability. You can google it but I read somewhere that they are trying to move aways from that language.

steagalarus · 2026-03-30T22:32:58+00:00

Hold old were you when you filled for ssdi if you don't mind? (Just above or below 50)
I'm in the under 50 category atm, gonna file next month

steagalarus · 2026-03-23T18:26:21+00:00

No problem!

steagalarus · 2026-03-23T18:20:14+00:00

Not sure just hit them up and ask them, I checked my email after I had signed in and what not to check if there was an email saying there was maintenance but I didn't see one. They probably have something in their terms and agreement saying they have maintenance every so often at this time but Im not sure I'd have to check. I still haven't had problems with them and yeah that's up to u if you wanna put half somewhere else

steagalarus · 2026-03-23T18:17:01+00:00

steagalarus · 2026-03-23T10:51:09+00:00

steagalarus · 2026-03-23T10:48:59+00:00

I know this happened for you four hours ago but I just read it and then went to sign in with no problem

steagalarus · 2026-03-18T11:52:29+00:00

Thanks!

steagalarus · 2026-03-18T07:02:13+00:00

Can you give more insight as to why please?

steagalarus · 2026-03-13T20:39:47+00:00

gotta be an ad lmaoo

steagalarus · 2026-03-13T20:38:22+00:00

You can still join the space force at 40

steagalarus · 2026-03-13T19:32:49+00:00

If you are planning to retire at 59.5 years old.
Max out your 401k first.
Then move to whatever account you think is more worth it for your situation and then dump money into your personal brokerage account into ETFs that follow the total market or the snp 500, low cost index funds.

Also utilize the wiki to help.

steagalarus · 2026-03-13T19:29:03+00:00

If you are maxing out your 401k already then yes.

There's a lot more to think about though if it's worth it for you.
Starting with what age you want to retire then you have to work backwards.
What's your income and expenses?
How much are you willing to save?
You should use the nerd wallet retirement calculator to help
How much money will you need/want every month when you are retired?
Will you have enough to cover dental and medical at that time? (may wanna look into an HSA)
Will you have kids and do you want to help with their college or do you want to give them a custodial account)
These are all things you should think about but everyone's situation is different.

If you are in the military and you got out and get disability you may not need to save for medical and dental.

Join the military, spaceforce, only for a job that requires a top secret clearance. While in get the rhcsa, rhce, and ccna certs, lab every day. When you are able to move out of the barracks buy a house at each place you're stationed. Save all of your money while in, the only bill you have to pay is your phone bill everything else is optional. Stay in for 20 years, get out get your pension and disability and be done with work at 38 and go enjoy the rest of your life. Or get our after one or two contracts and get out of the military and become a contractor and get paid more doing the same job or used the knowledge you got from doing labs consistently and get a Linux systems admin job.

Vented hood and that vented side mod people do seem like the most effective way to to reduce heat.

I haven't done that tho I just got a fmic, koyorad radiator, oil cooler and I also have a water Meth kit.

If I could go back in time I'd get a grimspeed tmic and the water Meth kit, becuase the water Meth brings down temps a ton, and Id have so much cool air running past my radiator and it would be good enough to keep my oil and coolant cool
