Back on topic, I'm going to max my Roth out in a few weeks for 2024, and wanted to ask, probably ignorant as hell of me, but...I know I can only put in 7k/year, but will I run foul of that setting it to DRIP?

I did make some good friends for sure. Life long, man. You don't know LSUS? Tigers? University of Miami? Cmon. I went to school for Healthcare related things and work in the field I am degreed in, utilizing that degree. Yes it enabled that, no I'd not do it again. Also, glad you were able to...

Lsus and northwestern state, Shreveport campuses. My girlfriend went to UM, Miami campus. Identical experience.

Whether or not it's valid is up to the reader, but it is enough for me that I will never set foot there again. I did my time, I paid my dues, and I beat their system. No need to go back through it. They would kick me out in a heartbeat because now that I've done what I do for years, I would not...

No. Because others in my field share the same experience. I also watched my girlfriend go through UM getting her Master's, and it was the same BS, except it cost a lot more. College is a collection of has beens and trash dead set on gatekeeping and making others miserable, with a few sprinkles...

Yeah, the school was pretty terrible, but I have to admit it did teach me about the job and workplace backstabbing politics well, as it mimicked it perfectly.

To me, a job was always a means to an end. Money. Least input and degradation required for the most output. I chose to have a fair bit of free time at the expense of my mental health when at work, etc. Maybe it was a bad call, I dunno. Won't know until it's done.

Ultium honestly looks fine to me. GM is using it for everything, and although Acura stepped out, GM has plenty of vehicles for it. They scale between platforms. Can you explain how Ultium is a failure?

Imagine how much money Subaru lost on the first 1000 cars they made.

It's a struggle for me because of always having to come behind and fix, or to direct professionals in fields not my own due to their incompetence. An example is a plumber who was installing my new hot water heater. He wanted to use flexible tubing, bent at a hard angle, which would place...

I'm happy for them. I still view it as a disgusting indoctrination scam and only went because of a full academic scholarship.Place was full of bitter old buggers who just wanted power over a captive audience. I wasted 2 years getting a bachelor's because I knew nothing about college when I...

I saw that. Good insights. I'm opening a Roth IRA along side my ind brokerage, tonight. I think I can max it for 2024 if I do it before April 15. Also, yes, that is why I began this thread. I grew up poor af at times, and noone around me knew how to do anything with money. So, now that I've...

I just want a little break before I kick it. I'm not planning to sip off this until 90 or something, and I'm leaving nothing but a corpse behind, so no real plan on building anything beyond what I'll use.

I'm glad your experience was positive.

Eh, Rolex is a very good investment that also gets you into circles. Maserati is dumb unless you buy 2 years out, and know a good indy. Then it's actually very affordable. I chose to buy a new Kia instead though, due to the concept of long term sustainability. It's cheap to maintain, fast as...

Ive changed roles 3x so far in the last 5 years. You have to change roles to keep pace with inflation and get a raise. It's all the same dumpster fire IMO, at my level. If I can, I'd like to go back to something chill and low risk like selling cars or similar.

I'm putting away $1K/mo at present and will ramp that up.

I have a 4 year degree. I won't be getting any other degrees.

I'm thinking about maybe a "partial retirement" doing something low stress like auto sales, etc.
