How much additional maintenance did the truck cost you?


Probably less than a grand not including regular maintenance/tires/ect.

I don't even really remember anything tbh but I'm sure it broke down on me at some point or another. But it wasn't often and I don't remember any really expensive repairs.

Now that I'm thinking back on it think I actually bought it for like $4500, which I paid for in cash and $4500 was a very substantial amount of money to me back then.

Still, point is a $15,000 car to get around is not a necessity

I drove a truck I bought for 2 grand for like 7 years.

I mean, you can do whatever you want. But financing a depreciating asset is never a good idea.

Any debt over 10% interest or so should be paid down before investing (unless you have matching contributions from employer or such, can't really beat instant 100% returns)

Debt around 5-10% depends on what your risk appetite looks like.

Debt less than 5% you're better to invest than pay it off.

Real Estate (buying a home or investment property) can do more for your net worth than stocks depending on your home market. You can leverage way more on a mortgage than you could on margin with a brokerage account.

Other than that, stocks and crypto are where it's at. Savings accounts, CDs, and bonds are a waste to keep your money tied up in. I suppose there's also foreign exchange and commodities futures but you have to do more research and there are more barriers to entry.


You should pay off any interest accruing debt on depreciating assets immediately. Honestly you should just avoid it all together.

If you need to take out a loan to buy a car then you're buying too much car.

They literally proved that the stock market is exclusively for the elite with that Gamestop thing. You can put money in and get a little bit back, but why pay into the same system that ran crying to the government when the have nots outsmarted them? Remember what happened? They instantly put a stop to it. These wall street CEOs want every piece on the game board and they can literally rewrite the laws to keep things that way.

Most people should be investing. But individual stocks probably isn't a great idea for the vast majority of people.

It's a direct response to what you're saying.

There's an entire industry built around managing people's property for them. To say being a landlord requires no time or labor is braindead levels of stupid.

The former isnt even worth addressing with how stupid a reply it is, and the latter isnt a product nor a service. The landlord is using the labor of another person (or multiple people) to pay for something none of those people, who actually generated the funds to pay off that loan, get to keep.


I don't know where you kids get the dumbass notion that landlords just sit around collecting checks. It's an investment just like any other.

Ive said it already, but again, if you dont understand or operate on the premise of housing as human right, you are fundamentally not understanding the problem.


No mate, you don't understand human nature. A profit motive always leads to a better product and overall quality of life.

Entitlement to someone else's time and work isn't a human right. Providing those things to people in need is charity. Nothing wrong with charity, it's one of the greatest things you can do. But call it what it is.

Unless you cancel the order it'll be sold tomorrow morning as soon as your broker can get the order through for whatever it's trading at when they're sold

You can place what's called a limit order. Which is essentially "I want to sell this many shares for this price or higher" and if it reaches that price they'll be sold. You can also do stop loss limit orders which will sell the shares if they fall below a certain price.

In real life when Bruce Lee was young he was an asshole. He would pick fights on purpose to show off, he would cheap shot people offering handshakes, and was really a thug in general. He grew out of that as his career took off, but the movie takes place in 1969, and that scene is a flashback. It was fairly accurate.

Note that the fight does get cut off quickly, it's not like he outright gets his ass kicked (though he was losing). The scene shows that Cliff knows how to actually fight.


I don't really have an issue with him getting his ass kicked. Cliff was a bigger guy who knew how to fight. A bigger guy who knows how to fight is going to almost always win a fight against a smaller guy.

Just seemed kind if weird to make him a dumb asshole. I'd never heard anything like that about him. But I'm not a bruce lee expert or anything, maybe there was more to it than I know.
