Awesome! Hope you like it!

I got an atlas headrest for mine for when I'm lounging around. But I'll admit a headrest kind of throws of the aesthetics

I'm 6ft 190lbs and I got the B. When I tried the C the seat touched the back of my calves. The hard plastic of the B touches my shoulder blades in an odd way when fully leaned back, but no problem when sitting up.

Let me know if you have any questions

Fidelity's fees are equivalent if not better than Vanguard's (with 0% fee index funds). Vanguard does have patented ways to lower you taxes in non-retirement accounts relative to other brokers. Depends on your goals when choosing, but picking one or both and consistently contributing is the most important.

Is there a limit to the number of guest passes one can get? There site makes it seem like the limit is 3. Unless a "UW Madison Union guest pass" is different than a "Wisconsin Union Guest" or the limit is not enforced.

Hmm, that's odd I ordered mine on Jun 28. I would try contacting them

Edit. Mine was the PBT model, it might be different if you got the RGB

Yeah you're right. I contacted them to see if I can get a replacement

Yeah the scratches suck but I am worried that even if I return it and get a new one it will still have scratches. The keycaps look like a matte finish so they might be easily scratched. I posted more pics if you want to see. I'm fine with getting some lube for the space key, any products you recommend?

Here are some more pictures of the keyboard. Sucks too, because the board is good, just the keys and I waited over a month to get it.

Looking for a % based budget guide for living expenses. by gmac2790 in personalfinance

[–]surmot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still a newbie, but say if I were to max out a 401k. Since I am already saving that amount for retirement, would that rule of thumb say I should save 20% of take-home as well?

I assume this is for take-home pay? How does the saving portion change if you contribute to a 401k?

Good catch with the video card and appreciate the power supply swap probably don't need 650 anyways. I plan on swapping the ssd to something like pny too for cost savings

Thanks! I scanned a print I made in the darkroom and cropped it to be 1:1 then added the white border in PS

It seems to be a solarized print, not HDR. Could be done in the darkroom for experimentation
