    People wanting instant gratification is part of the reason we’re in this mess. There is not going to be one singular event that fixes everything. Booker stood up there and said that not everyone is going to just roll over and take it. And that does mean something in the long run.





  • Nice. I just fixed my Samsung dryer. The drum was binding or something, about 50% of the time it would make a buzzing noise when started and it wouldn’t spin. One of the wheels inside was hard to turn when I took it apart. Replaced 2 wheels, belt, tension arm thing, and motor. Was like $80 in total. I did that yesterday and so far so good. I’ve had the set for about 10 years too so I’ll remember this if the washer stops working.

    My Vanguard roth IRA is up 11% since 2020, and is up 30% just this last year. If you are investing into individual stocks yourself I would probably reconsider that strategy. Buying individual stocks is closer to gambling than investing.

    I see you did total market funds now, idk what to tell you. But if you are not retiring soon it doesn’t really matter. Time in the market is better than timing the market.
