I think that is kind of where I am at as well flu,

Working gives me a little structure to my life so I can schedule eating, supplements & exercise etc..

I use the gym at the office when I am in the office and go to the gym (or work out at home) everyday I am not as well.

If I did not work I think I would get it all messed up LOL.

I guess that’s the key, good place to build wealth while you’re young and single (maybe a good place to own rentals if you got in early enough etc..).

Could not see myself living there now or long term (more than 10 years or so) when I was younger.

IMO someone would need to pay me 500K a year to live in SF LOL.

Don’t know why anyone is so crazy about that town from the little bit I have seen of it.

[The-Shoveler]

To you as well flu.

Have a wonderful new year!!

abracadabra LOL

I like the Idea you can be in and out of a stock only making or losing a few bucks without getting killed in commissions LOL.

[The-Shoveler]

I like flu’s car posts LOL.

LOL looks like a great way to “burn” money, but to each their own.

I think as you get a little older you take a more zen approach to FOMO.

You’ve seen it once before and you realize at some point you don’t need to keep experiencing things over and over.

[The-Shoveler]

Great call flu, you really seem to have a good handle on the semiconductor world.

[The-Shoveler]

Should be interesting, either they will need to add planned obsolescence or lease only on EV’s or just add bunch of cheap plastic parts LOL.

I would only lease a BMW that I fully intended to turn in at this point IMO.

IMO the mobile service providers seem to be pushing Leased phones as a way to lock you in (making it too expensive to turn in phone and quit). The worst part is they advertise these phones as “FREE” (you have to read the fine print).

Saying you want to implement nation wide rent-control does not really gain you a lot of support from property owners.

Or anyone not wanting to live in government housing projects.

IMO it’s 70% chance no US recession 30% chance recession.

Back when this thread first started July 2018 almost every economist was calling for recession by 2020 (it was not a bold call IMO).

Now most see little chance of a US recession and a strengthening world economy.

We will see I guess.

To each their own but give me a yard and a three car garage.

To have lived in the twentieth or twenty-first century and not have flown an airplane or owned a car I would feel that I had not lived it.

[The-Shoveler]

I would imagine living in downtown LA pretty much sucks.

Definitely not a place to raise kids.

I think you hit about your 30’s and you want a house with a yard you can afford that does not have helicopters shining spotlights on you.

Plus remote working is gaining more and more acceptance IMO, These days about half the company works from home more than half the time (but still need to be in the office a few days a week generally).

Fry’s in San-Marcos looked really sad had not been there in a while, looked like it is going out of biz.

The Best-Buy just up the road however was doing a brisk biz. The door-buster deal on the HP-LapTop was still available at around 9:am so I picked one up got a printer as well.

Macy’s and JP pennies at the mall seemed slow, but a lot of their door busters deals were already gone so maybe it was busier earlier.
The parking lot at the Temecula mall looked empty but we were in at 6:00 AM and out by 7:00 AM so maybe it got busier as it cleared up later in the day also the sale started Thursday so it is hard to tell how busy it was.
