The 2nd career adventures of Yankee

[YankeeVol]

Passed the Series 63

They were all pretty easy

Now just life and health insurance (which basically everyone with a pulse passes)

 

[YankeeVol]

Just testing out the new monitor

Passed the GA variable insurance test yesterday and the GA life last week. I left the bank today.

I don’t need luck, I just need customers lol. But thank you. I’m excited to get back to it.

Gary Force Acura in Brentwood?

Gary Force Acura in Brentwood?

Just slightly further south...by about 4 hours (I live in GA now).

I’m not fond of turbocharged engines. Sure, they’re powerful and responsive, but they don’t last as long as normally aspirated engines. I want 200k with little more than regular service. My old Honda 2 litre 4 cylinder vtech was plenty zippy and as reliable as the earth’s rotation.

Everyone is moving to them.

Yeah, but I’ve got a vehicle without turbo which I’ll drive into the foreseeable future.

Had to buy new long sleeve shirts today (we have to wear shirt and tie). The ones I had fit probably 30 lbs ago when I was running and active

Sympathies. My weight has crept up since 2019. Doc wants me to lose 30. I’m aiming to melt off 20 and then see if I can get the last 10.

Keto is your friend.

Question @YankeeVol

My 2015 equinox is paid off next month. Thinking of swapping it and getting a truck close to the same model year (2012-2015) with 175-200k miles. My equinox has 102k miles. I think it’ll be a better long term investment as far as value. I won’t use it on road trips. My wife’s suv will be used for that, so the truck would be used just to transport to and from work. I already know gas mileage will be taking a hit and likely insurance will be cost more too.

Do you think that’s a good decision? You can be honest

I just bought a 2015 Equinox a couple of weeks ago. I really like it but still not used to reaching for the console for the shifter.

I wouldn’t do it, but that doesn’t mean much lol.

Anything with that high of mileage I’d suggest getting a mechanic to take a look at it for you.

I’m considering getting a Honda or Toyota SUV as well. As far as I’m concerned, 200k miles on one of those is the equivalent of 100k on a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge.

[YankeeVol]

Well Acura was fun while it lasted (not really). On to something else

You swapping?

 

[YankeeVol]

You swapping?

Yea. Headed to a GMC/Buick store. I was actually going to take that job first, but Acura was closer.

There's more to it than that (as for me quitting), but that was the factor going in.
