Hammer Time: Wealth Construction
by

(IC: employee)
My Dad worked with the same company for sixty years. His first days were spent making coffee, learning English, and finding any opportunities for him and the company. It wasn’t easy. Back then America was in a recession with unfathomable debt and a dollar that could seemingly buy all the remnants of a battle scarred Europe. Today we have all the elements of the past. Except America is still fighting the wars, the dollar is weak, and the only thing that our country can seemingly buy is more debt… and time. With such lighthearted thoughts in my head this afternoon, I decided to go for a long walk.

- MrIcky I live in a desert- you can run sand in anything if you drop enough pressure. The bigger issue is cutting your sidewalls on sharp rocks. Im running 35x11.5r17 nittos, they're fine. I wouldn't mind trying the 255/85r17 Mickey Thompsons next time around, maybe the Toyo AT3s since they're 3peak. I like 'em skinny.
- Adam4562 I had summer tires once , I hit a pothole the wrong way and got a flat tire. Summer tires aren’t as durable as all season , especially up in the northeast . They are great of u live in Florida or down south . I have all season tires which are on my Subaru which is awd. My mom has a car so she switches from all season to snow tires . I guess depends on the situation
- MaintenanceCosts I hope they make it. The R1 series are a genuinely innovative, appealing product, and the smaller ones look that way too from the early information.
- MaintenanceCosts Me commenting on this topic would be exactly as well-informed as many of our overcaffeinated BEV comments, so I'll just sit here and watch.
- SCE to AUX This year is indeed key for them, but it's worth mentioning that Rivian is actually meeting its sales and production forecasts.

We just closed on a short sale 1300sf 3/2 condo in Takoma Park, MD for under $200K. We own 2 other apartments (3/1 and 2/1) in DC proper that are paid for. Also, both our cars are paid for. We'll be using the rent from the DC apts. to help pay off our new place in 10 - 15 years, depending on how much fun we decide to have in the process. Then it's on to a SFH with ample passive income to mitigate the financial worries that come with owning your dream-house. Is that smart/wise enough for you, Mr. Lang? ;)
No, sorry. Your plan is truly pathetic. Please turn in your Yuppie Union Card immediately.
