The new Volvos are the way to go for people with more money and taste than they know what to do with, unless you really want performance

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Apparently the combination electric gas engines are real monsters (like 450 horsepower) but for the price they'd charge you, you could get a C63, an M3 or a lightly used E63. Volvo has never really figured out/cared about the handling part of the equation even if they occasionally build a fast car. Even the Polestar stuff isn't quite up to par.

pig slut lisa posted:How does this work? You fly to Europe, pick up the car, drive it around for awhile, drop it off at a port, and ship it back to the US? Yes, usually the company puts you up for a bit or gives you some track time, a tour of the manufacturing facility, etc. the shipping to the US is covered. The terms are different for each company but if you look up European Delivery Programs for any of the major Euro luxury brands you'll find out a lot more than I can provide.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Bro, it's not an emergency fund if it's risk-exposed. Your emergency fund - literally the financial cushion between you and ruination - should be cash or short term cash-stable equivalents, and should contain at least several months of living expenses. If it's more than that, by all means invest, but make sure you're not going to take a 20% haircut if the market drops. You could lose your job in a boom but you'll be able to get a new one relatively quickly. It's not the job loss that kills you, it's the long-duration unemployment.

More updates: A bit of a change. My fiancee got in to a very good graduate program with decent financial assistance, but since even Stafford rates on loans for terminal masters degrees are like 5.8% we've decided to pay the rest in cash, at least for this year. The stretch net worth goals and car goals might be a bit harder as a result but we are still gonna try. I may reduce my taxable brokerage contributions in order to throw money at school. 2017 Goals: Save $2,000/mo towards house downpayment fund - on track Move to a place with same or lower rent wherever I end up moving As of Aug 15, in a new place for $350/mo less, but also including utilities, so it's probably about $500/mo net effect Max 401K on track Save $500/mo in taxable brokerage On track Max IRA On track Net worth goal: $225,000 currently $221,000, no change from last month due to some cash out for school and we also moved which was somewhat not cheap, although budgeted for Net worth stretch goal: $250,000 currently $221,000, not so on track Random poo poo: Ditched cable, now we pay $40/mo flat for internet. Feels good man. Non monetary: Get engaged woo got engaged woo Plan wedding holy poo poo this is so much work go on a cool vacation went to CA in June which was nice. Have scheduled a few days off to bum around the house in October Stretch goal: If I move somewhere with a garage and if I receive a higher than expected bonus in 2017 ($60k target), and if I have met all my other goals, set aside $20,000 for the acquisition of a Serie 1 Lancia Fulvia 1.3. On track for this, but a bit dependent on the school thing.

Good luck, moving friend. Sounds like the move is paying off at least on the top line.
