    Pay off mortgage or make monthly payments and invest the rest?

    I didn't read through 9 pages so if this is repetitive I apologize. My take is that long term there is no way I'd pay off a sub 4% or especially a sub 3% mortgage vs investing that extra money and just riding it out...it just simply does not add up. Even secure investments will outperform those...

    Going back to college in your early 40s...sounds like a terrible idea...but Im considering it.

    Not sure that works quite as well for guys...but if I had anything anyone wanted to pay to see I'd show for a paycheck in a heartbeat🤣

    Yeah, I know...suck it up and work sucks...lost track of how many times I've heard that and told myself the same.

    Going back to college in your early 40s...sounds like a terrible idea...but Im considering it.

    The real rub is looking like money...its just not feasible. I'd don't like throwing numbers around, but most entry level positions with a bachelors in anything natural resources/forestry/wildlife is gonna pay about a quarter what i make presently. Half I could probably make work but most of...

    Ram 1500 Owners - Are You Pleased With It?

    Keep it simple...avoid the air suspension and Etorque nonsense...and drivetrain mechanicals hold up pretty well if properly maintained. They have had some lifter issues that take out cams, but not near as prevalent as That same issue with GM engines. They wear out ball joints and tie rods around...

    First Time Elk Hunters

    Good, I got my cow, wife got a shot at edge of her comfort range and shot right under her. Both of the other guys were met out there hunting adjacent unit filled tags, but they did quite the death march to find them and pack them out. Definitely learned alot...and alot about how out of shape I...

    Tariff panic….. thoughts? Guns, optics, and accessories.

    It'll be an interesting dynamic with unknown outcome presently. I think you might see some initial panic buying, but I dont think alot. The inflation bump will make everything cost more but wages will lag and never catch up as usual. Expendable income for most Americans, thats already taken a...

    Questions for 2014 Tundra Owners

    Cam tower leaks...🙄🤦‍♂️🤣...one of the nagging yet overblown 5.7l issues. My wife's 2018 showed signs of it at 25k miles...I took it in as who wants a 3 year old 25k truck leaking oil right? Toyota dealer called it "engine sweat"...I shit you not...20+ years in auto repair and first time I've...

    Going back to college in your early 40s...sounds like a terrible idea...but Im considering it.

    Figured I should update. Ive been doing alot of homework...and probably way too much thinking on this matter last few weeks. Transfer credits are a bit bleak due to time lapse. I could still knock out a bachelors in numerous fields of study with minimal transfer credits at UC, MT tech or UWY...

    Whats a good salary to you?

    I can't help but take issue with this definition of a "living wage"...a living wage that doesn't account for saving at least 5% and like wise for retirement is not a living wage...their figures are pretty light for housing given the current market for either rents or owning in most places. I'd...

    Boys first vehicle…..

    Do whatever fits the bill best for you and yours. I see alot of folks talking about cheaper stuff for insurance and the fact they'll beat it up etc, etc...all valid points but one man nice newer truck is another man's cheap beater...its all relative. I totally understand the idea of not wanting...

    Liberation Day

    On that note... Steel and aluminum prices are gonna rise, if you were thinking about buying that new rifle or shotgun for this fall hunting season.....yesterday would have been a good time to do it. Good news for Benelli/beretta fans though, I didnt see Italy on the Tarrif list👍...maybe they...

    Liberation Day

    I'm just glad I'm not looking to retire in the next 5-10 years...Its gonna get ugly before or if it ever gets better for the working class. All this approach will do for the forseeable future is burden us with higher costs of living while keeping the fat cats up top getting fatter at our...
