Reply to Is Adventure Deficit Disorder Inevitable? Do we have to go from dreamers to realists? [Discussion] by TreatThompson
Only when someone else's life rests in your hands - parenthood, fellow soldier, climbing partner on the other end of your rope, eldercare, etc. - does adventure become real. It's the ultimate commitment with the highest stakes. Otherwise, it's a literary platitude.

My fear is that this issue will only be getting worse as AI text generators are leveraged to facilitate these mills.

Reply to Auto Insurance Costs by jdlc1406
Home and auto insurance are quiet killers in the inflation paradigm right now, and while changing carriers every 2-3 years has always been the best personal finance advice, I don't think you're going to be able to dodge this one for 2 reasons. 1) ALL insurers are doing it so in a way, "there's no escape". 2) Insurers are having to underwrite to an economy of inflation, which means replacing and repairing are more expensive to their bottom line - expenses they aren't going to eat. I'd suggest shopping it every 6 mos - 1 year (what I'm doing) in order to find new customer incentives and introductory lower rates. Unfortunately, once you get away from Geico and the other biggies, the rates aren't all that better, usually worse.

Reply to Where should I invest by gchaudh2
You've done awesomely, and have a lot wrapped up in the market already. I'd diversify again, and pick up a turnkey rental, or become an lp in syndication somewhere.
