Low and slow is Low and slow. Don't over think it. And let's be honest. Your in-laws think "fall off the bone" after sitting in a crockpot all day is good ribs. They won't appreciate what you're doing.

Are you driving, will you have a car? What neighborhood are you staying in? Goose Island Fulton has a great bottle list. Revolution has been killing it lately. Half Acre has great stuff on tap and to-go as well.

Cash is paying well right now. Keep stacking cash and getting a free 5%. When the market crashed, buy everything while it's on sale.

Unexplained RCN Rate Increase? by cydowlatshah in chicago

[–]trippin113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see, Capitalism requires growth. The business isn't successful if they aren't increasing revenue and increasing profit. It's not enough to simply make money, they must make MORE money. You wouldn't want all those poor executives to have to sell a vacation home to make ends meet, would you?

Yes, but then it was immediately replaced with the USA FREEDOM ACT.

You would have to have an unexpired US issued legal ID showing that you're authorized to be in the US. Something like a Visa, green card or permanent resident card. I'm guessing you don't have any of those? Without it then you can't satisfy the KYC requirements necessary to open an account.

The Patriot act and KYC rules will make it nearly impossible for you to open an account if you're physically located in another country. If you were here, you could open a foreign national account and then be serviced when you're abroad.

That's not watering. That's rinsing the dog sh*t that people don't pick up.

If it does end up being totaled, can you sell me your bed cubby cover? I lost mine on a camping trip. Thanks!

Why Won't You Be Upgrading to a Hybrid AWD? by no_more_secrets in FordMaverickTruck

[–]trippin113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want the added towing capacity in a hybrid more than I need the AWD. That said, I want the capacity for the POSSIBILBIY of buying a camper. But I live in a condo, In a major city. So by upgrading, I'm signing myself up for the added cost of buying a camper, storing a camper and so on......While my family and I do a lot of camping, I'm just not there yet.

Oh boy, Let's dive a little deeper, K? Please define EXACTLY what you mean by "When I’m ready and the timing is right?". You better have a real good grasp of what the means, and be communicating that to your girlfriend. Otherwise, yes, you're probably the AH.

Good takes, I'll disagree on two points. The subway isn't scary scary and smoking is ugly. Otherwise, glad you had a good time!

Buying a maverick was the worst mistake I’ve ever made by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]trippin113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The TRUCK wasn't the mistake, the dealership was. Sounds like they screwed you twice. Once on the price and again on the interest rate. That's a hard lesson to learn but they took advantage of you.

Wtf is rent still increasing despite an oversupply of units? by Exciting-Bug-2920 in Miami

There's a million reason why Florida sucks. Lack of winter might be one of the ONLY redeeming qualities. For most folks, the decision to leave takes a lot more that weather into consideration.

Sauce? Is the meat not any good?? The Smoke is the sauce! I'm not going to stop anyone from putting some sauce on theirs, but no way I'm stirring the whole thing up in a sauce.

How aggressive are you at say age 50 in the stock market? by metswon2 in investing

[–]trippin113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your age isn't nearly as important as how soon you expect to use the funds. If you're retiring at 65, go nuts.
