Dan, I understand where you’re coming from and that’s why I don’t write articles. But usually you have interesting articles with a touch of humor. Your comments to others depict the bright side of their topic. Despite your discouragement searching for a topic you want to share, you must keep moving onward and upward.
"Denny’s lost a worker" This is a great story and your writings are very intriguing. Denny's could be good luck for becoming something greater like yourself. Jensen Huang, also worked at Denny's. Years later while meeting with two other acquaintances at Denny's, Nvidia was formed and he became the CEO. Jensen's cousin, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD has done alright, but she didn't work at Denny's.
You probably took the right path by going into engineering, monetary wise. I knew someone who was a photographer for National Geographic and traveled the world, however, he lived a very modest life and didn't own much.
Well over 50 years ago and long before I knew who John Bogle, JL Collins, J. Clements and others were, I read The Richest Man in Babylon. The message in that book offered great savings guidance on the path for retirement. Most authors in the last few decades strengthen what that book is about, plus giving additional guidance towards index investing.
YOLO (You Only Live Once), so go for it, as long as you can keep that newbie in the garage. My college roommate was from Ohio and had a Mustang, but he called it a Rustang. Rust is one thing I don't miss.
RDQ, thanks for sharing your experiences about your M/Benz! I don't have much exposure to riding in them, but you do make it sound like something to consider. That pot-hole feature would be nice to have. I may have to go to a dealership and let them show me the all the bells and whistles. Regarding other technology with medical devices, I had a bioenergetic test done using a QEST4 device and it could probably tell anyone about pain and isolate where it is. It even knew that I had a tick bite months earlier. There is a lot this device can tell you about yourself and things you may not want to know.
I certainly would not drive 20 minutes to get anything less than $100 from an ATM at a bank getting ready to close, especially in an area where everything is expensive if you want to use cash.
I hate to ask this dumb question, but will anyway. You were already in the lobby of the bank when you realized the ATM wasn't operating, why didn't you just go over to the teller window and withdraw some money? I think the teller had the last laugh knowing he/she could have helped you, but instead sent you back outside at closing time. You have mentioned being a Fidelity customer. Why not get their credit card and pay no fees anywhere at an ATM? Have never heard of an ATM machine that only dispenses $100 bills.

Adam, investing isn't always simple for everyone, but you have a way to make it simpler to understand.
