I have a 2016 CX-5. Zero issues thus far and still fun to drive.

What is Your question?

fareastwarriors

You bought it new right? Do you have unlimited supercharging?

Depending on your usage (if at all), that could be worth a few grand right there.

fareastwarriors

Go with what home stretch and broken man said. They get it.

I’m in the Sf Bay Area so even a tiny bath remodel is like 30k. There will be pain.

Good luck!

fareastwarriors

Keep it.

It’s just an old Tesla. Not flashy at all. Drive it as long as you can, boglehead-style .

For your next car, please don’t go back to gasoline.

fareastwarriors

Traded in a 6 for an 11 today.

My wallet lost some weight.

I guess those guys console themselves by saying their shanty-town shacks are just for sleeping anyway. Shed a tear for me. I live in a shack in the SF Bay Area. Somehow the shack still takes so much work to keep clean. I already gotten rid of the front yard grass to reduce my labor. I don't how peo...

Time to end tenancy.

It seems like you have a strategy already. If it works for you, stick with it.

fareastwarriors

Nope.

I used IB margin loan for downpayment for a house. Worked out great, no regrets.

Thanks everybody. I think I'll just call the taxi company. Failure to get picked up in a timely manner would be pretty bad. The taxi is going to be ~$25 plus $5 tip. It isn't the money but kind of wouldn't mind trying to be a bit more technologically proficient. Maybe another time. Maybe try it on ...

Keep the house, enjoy it, and focus on your day job.

I usually handle this by asking to bow out of the tip. I'll say something like "Do you guys mind getting the tip since I didn't have anything to drink today?". Then I'll tip 0 and tell people how much to add to their tips to cover me. For example, if I would have otherwise tipped $12 in this situat...

fareastwarriors

Why do we have so many threads about tipping?

fareastwarriors

Get the 3.

We love the car!

fareastwarriors

So what are you doing out there?

I have an iPhone X from about 1 and half ago. I'm ready for 11. Got the cash so why not. I’m in the same position as you, and my X has issues such as dimming the display and slowing down when it’s hot outside. I suspect this is intentional. Oh really? That's too bad. Haven't notice much difference ...

For the record you can finance more conservative deals and charge a bit less in interest. I've lent money for private mortgages that were well collateralized with personal guarantees attached for 5%-7% with no origination fee. Easy money (as long as you don't have to foreclose...). My dad is seller...

Just tip like you would for pizza or Chinese food.
Keep it simple.

While Premium Plus has nice fancy sears, I say the ANA hands down if the legroom is somewhat comparable. The service is top notch. The food is also Much better on ANA.

I just flew on United to Narita and ANA to Ho Chi Minh.

Lots of people hate Basic econ but let's be realistic here. Air travel has never been cheaper.

Can you book 2 reservations with one parent taking 2 kids on economy and the other parent does basic? You might not save $400 but maybe can save $50/100?

fareastwarriors

They don't make it easy that's for sure. Easier to just switch team!

I've noticed that people who spend a lot of money on a house tend to call it a home. I don't think I could stand to tie up that much money in a house. The economics of the bay area fascinate me in much the same way that it can be fun to watch a huge hornet's nest, unless you're too close and it get...

This has been my concern - prices going down, impending recession. I can say I worry a lot but in this case may be because i can see through the next few years being rough - recession, drop in home price. I see a lot of good suggestions but I wonder for folks who have seen their home prices go down...

fareastwarriors

Just return it and rebuy.

Can you use your phone and hot spot your laptops? Or just use your phone's LTE and use bank/brokerage's mobile websites/apps.

Use the DSL for regular items and use phone's LTE for more sensitive information?

Be okay with making minimum wage or so since it's flexible.

Also you can do food deliveries for UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash, PostMates, and etc.

You can do packages or groceries with Amazon Flex, Shipt, Instacart, and etc.

Again, do it for the flexibility, not the pay...

fareastwarriors

Flexibility is key here. Work more or less, it's up to you.You could probably make a bit more minimum wage after expenses depending how busy you are. You could also try Amazon Flex or deliver food if you don't want to mess with people in your car. No one drive Uber to make real money. They are doing...

If Prime is of low value to you, could you share the account with others. Obviously you should only share with those you absolutely trust but it's great when you have 2/3/4 people using it...

You can have multiple credit cards and shipping addresses on your profile no problem.

That’s really insane as gas is much cheaper than electricity where I am. I’d much rather have everything run on gas that electricity. Gas is much cheaper in California, too (where Berkeley is). Moreover, the state has approved going to ToU pricing as of next fall, so electric rates will increase ~5...

My M3 performance is slowest car on the road. After I saw shockingly high mph number on the screen when I was *slowing down* after passing some traffic on my daily commute, I decided to always drive it under the speed limit. Ironically, I drive much faster when I am in my older jalopies. This car w...

Being in tech in the Bay Area, I would say definitely yes. However there is a large stratification in the Bay Area between the top paying tech companies and some of the middling ones. My food, car, medical and other costs are roughly equivalent to what they would be in any other town in the U.S. Ho...

For the way back issue, you can schedule rides in advance for a specific time with Lyft and Uber. As long as you don't mind scheduling a specific return time you should be able to schedule the return trip from the grocery etc. The only risk with scheduling a ride is that the driver who accepted the...

Ask your step daughter or someone else with the app to order the ride. Give them your location and destination.

I'm sorry but you know this the BH forum. 98/100 Bogleheads will tell you to sell rental real estate. Everyone here just do the 3-fund portfolio. Keep it simple. Nothing wrong with it. I know I'm being a bit extreme here but I rarely ever see people saying to buy/keep rental real estate. It's just m...

People in HCOL areas often overestimate how much cheaper other cities are, especially since people tend to adopt a different lifestyle when they move. $400-500k sounds low for housing. In IT, Austin is the place to be rather than Dallas in Texas, but you will definitely be able to find $200k jobs i...

1) If you believe that you have diversity in a $1m+ neighborhood, we have a different definition of diversity. KlangFool, what you are missing is that in many CA neighborhoods, all the homes cost $1M+, but the only people who need to afford that are newcomers who buy i n. Plenty of diversity in the...

Can you leave the door open when you shower?

Don't take long hot baths so there will less steam build up.

(Yes, the best is to install a vent!)

Awesome, Congratulations!

Keep up the good work.
