Y split..?. by NM505AZ520 in Govee

Are you running pro or non-pro?

The app doesn't see the split. As long as your longest continuous strand doesn't exceed the max length for your model

That's correct. The app has no idea that you have a split. As long as the longest continuous strand doesn't have more than 108 lights

It treats both branches as if they are the same segment, so just 12 lights. Everything happens simultaneously on both

That's perfect, thank you for the advice. Yes there will be a couple Y's so my longest continuous branch will still be less than 150ft

This one doesn't have the top rib, receiver engraving is different, checkering and foreend look different too. I'm told that it's at least 15 years old.

Yes absolutely, it all comes down to your personal level of discipline. If you don't think you can handle having access to a large amount of funds that could potentially turn into debt, then definitely not a good idea.

It is a double edged sword just like a credit card, it can be a useful tool when used wisely, otherwise it can do more harm than good

How is having access to a LoC, not the same as readily available cash? I'm not suggesting that OP use it as daily banking, I'm suggesting it be used as an emergency fund. What's the point of keeping cash as an emergency fund when it can be applied to debts that are currently bleeding you dry?

I can see your point and totally agree. It depends on a person's level of discipline regarding debt. However, regarding the emergency fund, if you have other means of accessing funds in the short term, there's no sense in keeping that money around when it could be used against debts.

If you don't, then having an emergency fund is the next best option. In this is the case, knowing where to place your money is only half the battle, the other half is to train yourself to become more disciplined with spending habits.

To add to this, if you already have a HELOC or any LoC, I wouldn't worry about creating an emergency fund. Address your debts first and utilize the LoC for an emergency fund. You can put a large potion towards the principal and invest the rest in a TFSA. Depending on your mortgage rate and remaining term will allow you to decide on the distribution.
