i appreciate your honesty. i've talked to a lot of SMB owners who paint nothing but a rosy picture.

my wife and i have contemplated this, what keeps us from leaving the security of the corporate world is the fact that we agree with dipping our toes in the water BUT don't want to sacrifice our weekends/nights with our young kids. the chapter of life we're in we really need to spend as much time with them as possible.

If my note is around the 400's and I pay off the truck, that's great. I can save 4,800 bucks a year. But if I have one major repair in that year, say a transmission or something like that, pretty much all I saved goes right down the drain.



no it doesn't.. it goes into a new transmission that should run for another 200k... and hopefully you then save on truck payments for several years.

there's too many dumbasses around convincing themselves they need new ford raptors for 75k while they have a company truck, debt and no money in a 529 for their kids. most of these trucks never even touch anything other than pavement. my god you should see how many city slickers around doing this.

vanity and insecurity at it's finest.

pay off your car/truck, save your money and put it toward something useful. not another depreciating asset that costs twice as much as your last one while you're neglecting your kid's college savings.
Gotcha. Did you know you can also actually subscribe to a GovWin Service that activity tracks existing contracts, values, and contract holders which is forecasting upcoming contracts ahead of them coming out on SAM.GOV?

Ok, you've got me intrigued.

A Colombia NPS restoration project or US?
What is does a NPS restoration project look like? What type of work are you doing?

let's see if it pops big like BTC is... it still looks like a direct correlation

i'm still bag holding over here...
i agree that it's tied to BTC but i'm sitting here wondering how much longer i should wait for BTC to go up so this will go up or if i should just cut my losses.

i'll be honest. i have no idea what to do with this shite anymore considering the pending crypto winter we're in for....

either sell at a very large loss or wait til summer comes again?
this crypto-themed stock sounds a lot like one that will drop 30% right after i buy it like voyager and bigg.. i'm enough in the red on those so i'll pass on this "to the moon" stock

the only trend i've found is this an bigg go up and down w/ the price of the overall crypto market(really just BTC). BTC had a bad weekend so this dropped drastically, hopefully there's as big of a trend upward so maybe now is a good time to average down... maybe..?

couldn't have said it better myself..
the problem with investing in oil is that the general overall sentiment towards oil & petrochem is negative. every large cap firm tries to stay away from it due to volatility and the fact that the saudi's can flip the price on any given day not to mention the world's desire to get away from it because (fill in the blank)

i'll be honest, the more and more i live this life the more and more i wish i were easily amused. whether it be me being a dumbass, or whatever. i feel like the older i get, the wiser i get and the more i notice the stupidity around me and how happy all the stupids are. i want to be a happy little stupid again, like a kid
