Is $400/mo too much of a car payment for me? - I am currently taking home ~$1200 every other week after taxes and 12% into my Roth 401k. My rent + utilities comes out to $1000-$1050 per month. No kids. No other loans or large recurring expenses besides normal food/gas/etc. 33/M. Insurance would be $130/mo.

I've been riding out an old 99 Mercury beater car. The engine gave out and the cost to repair far exceeds the value of the car. I wanted to get something that was nicer for once. The most I've ever spent on a car was $6000.

It's this a bad idea? I used to be a mechanic (no access to a lift and limited tools now) so routine maintenance and minor repairs I can take care of.

Edit: actual biweekly take home pay is $1322. The amount financed is $16000 (after the down payment) @7% APR over 48 months

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Buffet indicator is showing some wild times ahead perhaps, combine that with Berkshires record high cash hoard of 30%... chart via barchart.com / Longtermtrends
