I am not just a Boglehead (light spender) because I want to save for myself (though primary reason). I also believe that just because one has money (and I too have a 7 figure portfolio) does not mean one should spend on frivolous things. There are people starving in the world... Give to charity lik...

Not sure about them try some well known dealers,you might pay a bit more but your not getting a "franken watch" .
Timezone is good for sale section also Time Keeper,I have purchased from DeMesy and been happy with the transaction.

Shouldn't these be called coal burning cars ? after all that where the majority of most markets eletricity comes from ?

Lexus just got the top spot again in dependability ,note 3 of other 4 Porsche, Lincoln, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz are also consider luxury brands.

I drive an LS460. It is a great car. Many people on this board are just plain cheap. You have to enjoy life a little. I guess in Texas you don't worry about snow. The AWD is a must have in the Northeast. My old LS400 with rear wheel drive was terrible in the snow. "Many people on this board ar...

Go to the local TM dealer ( and buy some TM stock its on a tear),we took my wife's RX330 there for the timing belt,same engine as the Highlander ( and they have to do them too-there is NO more cost involved in driving a RX 300(330) then a Highlander) and the tech who does your will have dome more th...

Wait till the new downgrades come,don't bet on a 'santa claus" rally either.Those days are gone, just like "buy and hold". Yes, I did a buy today on Vanguard Total International Stock Index Admiral which I plan to HOLD. Guess those days aren't "gone" after all. Oh Market Or...

Would rather have a brand new Rolex Submariner for ~$7k :lol: The clasp update is very well done on the new model (116610 ),as is the ceramic bezel. Amazing how much they go up every year thou. Paid 4500 for my TT sub that goes for 10200 now.Always a good investment,can't afford to throw money way ...

Well its certainly a "chose your poison" chart !
Been very happy with my MLP's over the last 5 years,I will take the "change in tax status" risk and bet it won't .

NRA membership stickers on the doors and windows. :D I think those pretty much say to the crooks, "break in when I'm not home, and you'll find a bunch guns that you can sell to other crooks." I think your wrong,and the low life thieves might be "dead wrong" ! Most gun owners hav...

Have to agree with find something your passionate about.
Some of those that are do well in this recession environment ans should continue to for a while;

As an owner of labs, I'm unfamiliar with the concept of a substance that a dog won't eat. This, I would have to agree with :D Add my two labs to the list ! (I kid my vet that he should name his boat "thanks labs") I have lost one,a chocolate,at 7 yrs old to cancer starting reading up on t...

What am I missing? I've been preshopping for a dishwasher even since our elderly one started with the ominous noises, and I'm seeing Bosch for under $500. forget that one, go for the stainless interior,lots of good Bosch ones out there for 1000 or just under that.Why waste (in repairs) your money o...

Yes go drive both,but find used ones with some miles (over 50k)on them-the dealers will have some .Driving two new cars won't help you compare what you will be driving for a few years. Then you will see-and yes its obvious,the Lexus is by far a better car then the Genesis and that's why they hold up...

Between $100.00- 150k ! Friend had one that we "stealthy" filled with gravel and concrete while in the ground-then put a driveway over it. Another friend had one,in a two family,thought it was fine but went the the "non stealth method' and had a firm come in and dig it up,they found i...

Another vote for Bosch , best dishwasher for the money,you can spend more-not worth it for the marginal benefits,or less-way to noisy and you will be buying another while the Bosch keep working.best 1000 you will spend on your kitchen. Do not however buy their-Bosch Refrigerator-not the same quality.

They really should be called "coal burning" cars shouldn't they ?Not there is anything work with that as we are the Saudi Arabia of coal here in America (and I do trade KOL frequently )

Lots of 0% (for year) and 0 (as well as 1%) transfer fee out there.Just be careful and pay on line to be sure you payments get there in time.

I own several handguns and carry as well as hunt with a side arm.That said, the 44 mag is an excellent choice to hunt with and a S&W 29 could be a good investment but not good for personal defense (very heavy to carry) and for recreation it might be fun to shoot a few full magnum load but I susp...

Wife is one her third Lexus RX, very few issues/problems and anything out of the ordinary was taken care of by warranty.Brakes and Tires and oil changes (we use Mobil One) are the only maintenance that seemed to be required and all can be done at non Lexus repair shops (Tires-Sams,Brakes and Ol chan...

once again, you and others who are either too gullible,have weak ethics and lack integrity to buy or defend those who buy fake watches have "swung and missed" ! You will forever go through life as you are now,faking who you are with no idea of what a real fine timepiece is,when in fact you...

Kudos to those of you who have stayed out of this pointedly provocative thread. Actually, somewhere at the start of the thread, someone directed me to a forum that discusses watches. I went there and got some good advice. As of this writing, I still don't have a $5,000 watch. However, my wife does,...

I have never knowingly purchased 'knock-offs' or counterfeits and never would. In addition, I believe those likely to buy them *are* likely to be less honest and have lower esteem. However, this "study" hardly moves me, and seems particularly poorly conceived and constructed, as is the pa...

Wow, now I am unethical, do not recall having read such verbiage in this forum before. nhdblfan, is this not a racial slur with your comment showing a dark skin person, should call the internet cops? Nah! By the way I am retired, have 2 Masters, white. I liked to wear that Rolex watch out of fun, k...

While I can certainly understand someone not spending the money on a fine watch like a Rolex because they don't have an appreciation or interest in one. I don't get buying or wearing a fake anything,buy a real watch that costs less and not be a phony.Those fake watches are cheap garbage and give no...

In the 1990s I also wore Rolex watches, one I dropped accidentally into an airplane toilet over the Pacific Ocean, had to buy another one during the next trip to Asia. I liked them, had little diamonds around the numbers, cost $20 in Itewon-Seoul, and $25 in Kuala-Lumpur. When I retired in 2002 I g...

Just to clarify,as edge pointed out, "not a fan" means to me, I don't like his politics, I don't "dislike" him or compare him to you either. BTW I don't "dislike" you either, I do think you are misinformed-as proven not only about Buffetts watch but about why people buy...

I am considering asking for a nice watch for my 50th birthday present. Does anyone have any opinions as to what the best watch to buy for around $5,000 would be?
