I did back in the day, but now all of my time is taken with two teenage daughters and their lives.
I actually ran a fairly large social media page that was similar to trades & raids back in the day. Posted plenty of positions, chart calls, etc. That type of thing. At your age, you’ve got SOOO much time and potential.

He will find a way to add that to my new biography he’s writing up.
The key is to deny yourself once in a while. I put both my sons through good colleges, they got their tuition from their academic excellence and hard work ethic their mom and I taught them by example, but they also got weekly money and rent from me for all four years, winding up with no student debt and great jobs in the IT field. We took two trips to Disney when they were young but other than that long weekend vacations were the rule. We also helped pay funeral expenses for three relatives, 100% for two of them and 50/50 on the third. We ate at home a lot, wore the same casual clothes for more than one year, and bought what we needed, not exactly everything we wanted. I hustled extra work for things I wanted, my wife was a stay home mother for 12 years giving our kids a home, not just a lock in house, to grow up in. We saved Pennys, dimes, dollars whenever we could, never robbed our defined benefit retirements or 401k funds and have a 2500 square foot house fully paid off that we had custom built. I’m a firm believer that anyone can do the same, just be smart and say no to your impulses once in a while. I’m proof of this.
tuna, I'd have thought you'd never be old enough to be seen driving a Merc.That’s what I’m saving up for Larry.
It’s mainly a play off of my age.
I love it! I’m working on breaking even with poker wins and chip cost…. It’s not working
Larry, I’ve honestly asked myself a few times lately…….”why the hell did I buy this?”
How’s the overall quality of it?Larry, I’ve honestly asked myself a few times lately…….”why the hell did I buy this?”
Once I’m in it though and I put that pedal down, my memory snaps right back. This baby really moves and she’s comfy too.
Still just a kid at heart though my friend.
Look forward to seeing ya next week.

I’m super happy with it. I was looking at a Lexus IS350 or Toyota Camry XSE new. The Lexus is in the 46k range and the Toyota was in the 37 range.How’s the overall quality of it?
My wife is leaning towards a lux sedan model, don’t need a mom mobile anymore.
Looking at Audi A4, BMW 300e, Mercedes C class & Lexus IS right now.
Used of course, we retired folk need to buy in cash only, we don’t have jobs to support lofty car payments like the working class. (This might inspire another monologue from craig
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed knowing what you’ve got in your garage.
That's what I said, geezer car
Bet you a Hondo a month and a half from now you’ll have a different opinion!
Nah, I don't have any car payments. I also buy cars in cash unless they have a 0% APR special.Used of course, we retired folk need to buy in cash only, we don’t have jobs to support lofty car payments like the working class. (This might inspire another monologue from craig
A great experience could be volunteering with your daughters. Helps build their college applications (if that’s of interest to them) too.
Wasn’t that YOUR money???
Yes, some of it was, but only because a joke bid (and it was funny - $777 Forever!) got flagged by a bunch of previous offenders for breaking sacred rules that they themselves got flagged for doing in the past so they felt it wasn't fair unless I was punished.
