Pump up the investments. If it’s a nice surprise on upside may burn some of it.

Made them 150k~ in profit in November and December and about 500k the other 10 months.

In December of 1981 I sold over $95K worth of suits and made $95 commission. Was really happy when I got out of college and got a real job.

ETA:
No more bonuses, but I've been retired since 2011, and have more money than I did in 2012. I'm doing OK with some stocks and have been doing some different annuities. I've been lucky that I made a few decisions about savings in my early 30's. My health seems a lot more important at 66.

She makes over 6 figs with her "MRS" degree. We are only 28 y/o, so getting this out the way is going to feel awesome!

Probably buy some night vision goggles and thermal scopes. Maybe another stupid car.


Damn how many thermal scopes you need?

nothing because I did not get one. I did however just buy a new BBQ pit so that is something. With no help from a company bonus.

Depends on how big my bonus is

Realistically, 1 big one for the AR10 and if i can find one that won't make my 300 weigh 15 lbs i'd consider a low magnification one for it.

Lemme know if you run across a 944 Coupe, preferably a Turbo. No verts, though.

I missed a nice one, but it was in Bend, OR

I'll keep an eye out. Right now all my car groups are polluted with people bending chevy dealers over for C8 Z06s.

Saw some of that, too...


The opposite of that is trying to get on a list to get a new Turbo S. ADM is back with a vengeance.

I finally convinced the wife we should get on the list and made some calls and found that out the hard way. Oh well, TTR8 is back at the top of the list.

I’ve got a Thermion 2 XP50 on a Wilson Combat AR. Wanting to make that my backup so my dad and friends can use it. I want the Roam AR10 .308 Red river ultralight 5.5 pounds with a Nocpix Ace S60R 1280 2-24x LRF Thermal Rifle Scope for my setup.
