I’ve been trying to increase my running over the last 6mo or so. I’m 5’11 and 160lb, 33 years old, heavy leg lifts 1x a week, dynamic legs 2x a month. Also walk 3-5mi almost every day.

I can run 1-3mi without any issue, avg maybe 9:15-9:45 per mi. However no matter what, when I get to 5mi my knees start to ache and have sharp pain. Sometimes I can run through it, take a walk break, keep running for a mile(ish), rinse and repeat. My longest run is 7.5mi, and I’ve hit the 7mi wall repeatedly before I get worried about permanent damage.

Any ideas on recommendations to break that wall? I’ve seen running with knee sleeves is a super temporary fix, so don’t love that idea. I also just got new Cl

As title states, my company just added after-tax 401k contributions for this year. Currently my wife and I both contribute the max to 401k and IRAs are maxed annually as well (back door Roth).

We live pretty simply and expenses are $3-$5k a mo including rent.

My concern is that contributing after-tax may in addition to the $23k to my 401k be taking away too much liquidity from saving towards a house, car, vacations, etc.

She’s a very numbers driven person, is there a way we can look at the decision objectively or a general consensus on what amount of salary it is/is not worth contributing to?

Salary for her: $220k per year Salary for me: $130k per year Misc consulting income: ~$15k-25k

Title basically says it all but I’m trying to weigh the option of opening a formal trust for my god son, or if it just makes more sense to have a separate brokerage account in my name that I transfer to him as there is almost no way that it would exceed the gift tax exemption max ($17k this year, I’d imagine the limit would be $25k or more in 25yrs when I’d want to gift it).

Estimated yearly contribution by myself would be ~$600 per year until he is 25

I’ve read trusts can be set up for ~$100 if I do it on my own, but I’m just not sure if it’s worth the hassle. Is it the right move to formally set it up that way? Or should I keep things simple?

Thanks

Wife and I are looking into buying our first homes in a fairly HCOL area. We make good money and have a large down payment, but numbers we are being given from lenders and online tools don’t seem to line up. We want to make sure we’re going about things in the right way to set expectations based on data/informed decisions vs what we feel like is predatory info from people who make more if we borrow more.

Income: $330k combined (+$20-$30k bonus) Down payment: $200k

No debts, no kids or obligations.

Basically: what is a realistic monthly budget for a mortgage given our numbers?

Given where rates are we’re considering renting for another year or two to continue saving while we wait for inv

I’m in the process of trying to buy a first home and know that Powell has a meeting on 5/2 where he has signaled that interest rates will be rising by a half basis point. My question is are the rates I see today ~5.5% already taking that bump into account, or can I expect to see rates jump sharply on 5/2 after the announcement is made?

I know stocks would be considered “priced in” but do mortgage rates behave the same way?

Was walking by Radio earlier and noticed the normal Veracruz truck was gone (they upgraded to a much bigger/brand new trailer where Da Boot used to be) and instead a new brisket/biscuit truck was there.

I haven’t seen anyone post about it so I’m curious if anyone has been able to try it yet/hear how it was. Truck is called Briscuit (combo of brisket n biscuit…obviously)

I’ve scoured the city for top notch espresso and results are fairly mixed. I’ve got my top few spots and I feel like I’ve hit just about every notable espresso place in central Austin. Interested to hear what opinions everyone has on the best place to get an espresso from (not where to buy the best beans, but where to get an incredible shot of espresso or espresso drink)

Best places in Austin (in my opinion):

1. Fleet Coffee (easy #1)
2. Spokesman (great cortado, very consistent as well)
3. Civil Goat
4. Mañana
5. Greater Goods

FlatTrack, Levercraft, Radio, Cosmic, Hive, Epoch, Houndstooth, Flitch, SaTen, Meteor, Berretts, Barley Bean, Batch, etc vary from good to great but not at a notew

Hi all - wife and I will be spending a few days in Phoenix this week and we’re trying to map out food spots. One thing we’re having a ton of trouble on is finding a Sonoran hot dog spot that also has vegetarian/vegan sonoran dogs. Does anybody have any recommendations/ideas on places we can look into in the city (or even a bit outside of it)? Thanks!

Howdy folks. I just completed a ~3,000 mile road trip and I’m noticing that my Jeep Cherokee limited seems to have intermittent issues wanting to start after sitting in the parking lot for 24-48hrs. When I go to turn the car on the engine either immediately fires (like almost no crank, just straight to running) or sometimes it goes into a click click click cycle before starting. The clicking cycle will continue to happen even if I turn the key back off, only difference is the engine won’t turn on at that point. The engine always turns over eventually, and the car runs/drives fine once it gets moving.

Weirdly this happened to me last summer too, just about a year ago. Same drive too. Max di

Few marks on each sleeve and then very minor dye ruboff from jeans (shown in pictures) on the back of the inside of the jacket. Rarely worn anymore so letting it go to a new home.
