Tundras live: Dad jokes not allowed and IPA drinkers shunned and hair metal kicks ass

Everything you said, applies to our house too

 

I have a Fidelity that is paying 5.8% - but has a little risk

 

I always wanted one of those 640's before I bought the 690. So much torque in them and I can see why you'd put longer travel on it if you're riding trails with 4/5 foot drops. I was never that daring to move fast enough to manage that on such a big bike. Mtn bike maybe, but definitely not a dirt bike, let alone an adv touring bike. The whitewater trips made rafting and kayaking so much more fun than a bike for me though. Once you push off from a shore and float into a solitary canyon for a few nights or longer no sport as far as adrenaline wise has ever given me such a high. Every year I paddle my raft or kayak as much as I can. I'm actually about to drive to Oregon on Monday to disappear into the rogue river gorge for 5 nights next week. I can hardly wait to run it as it'll be a first descent for the entire crew going. 2 rafts and 3 kayaks. Here's some pics of trips I did this year. Minus Peru that was 2019

Kayaking the Rio Maranon in Peru



Pulling into camp on the Colorado River



Kayaking Westwater Canyon UT


Paddle raft Eagle River CO



Edit. How could I leave out everyone's favorite quintessential river trip. The Grand Canyon. These are from 2021.

 

F***’n A tell me about it - lost $1,500 on one of my Fidelity accounts over the past 10 days

I will say, having a savings account with Ally Bank has been fantastic. It’s currently at 4.20% APY.

Between that and paying/purchasing what I can with a TD cash back credit card (I do not revolve), it racks up to +$500 extra month!

 

That's a nice apy at ally. Cash back cc's are the best. Every monthly bill goes on it. Paid of monthly. No brainer there.

 

I am older than OldGuy and nearing retirement (in 4 years). I have money tied up at Fidelity and Vanguard. Money goes up and down but you have to ignore daily swings. By having a high yield guaranteed account or CD you earn a decent return. If you have a hybrid money market and bond fund you earn a little more. I am moving some money into a tax free account to minimize taxes which are overbearing.

 

Yeah I'm still like 15 years out from retirement and also play this game as well. Vanguard has quit a bit of my money right now. I don't even pay attention to it as my money market manager does well by me overall annually as I watch it grow.

 

Speaking of savings, here’s an interesting infographic I pulled from Forbes, in June of this year. I was honestly blown away at these figures.

 

What do you say when you're missing 25% of your roof?







oof

 

Sounds like a fancy way of saying put your money in savings, then when you have enough $$, feel free to buy some $hit

in lieu of using credit for purchases

@OldGuy03

There's waaaay too much sausage in that party for me...

 

I'm just going to say for future reference.... If I ever ask you fools for financial advise, just know the question is directed to @NWPirate ONLY!!!!

No one else needs to respond; he's the only one that is making any sense here

 

Not sure I'm following your dig but I prefer bacon over sausage, and pink tacos over either of those. Might be that at times I'm slow.

 

I used to work in a toy factory making plastic Draculas.

There were only two of us, so I had to make every second count.

 

it was a ways up from NwP's quote of something you said... not sure where your post is, but this was him quoting it... and my comment was related to too many Ms and only 1 F

My wife sleeps under a heavy comforter year round and complains that it's too hot.

 

I am not a smart man.. but I love math

I wonder what category most tundra owners are? I never realized so few people have much saved.

 

I get into a similar discussion weekly over here...

how do folks afford to live these days?

there is no discretionary income anymore. every dollar is already spent.

imagine being a 20-something...how do you start your life -->>like we did?


last night 2 people @ panda express. $26 and we got water.

 

That's cheap. 2 people at Red Robin was around $40 USD last time we went. We got lemonade, no booze.

 

red robin is fine dining!
