Which lenses would you sell, and which premium low-light would you buy? Trying to get into late-night city shots and event photography. I currently own these lenses for my. Fuji X-T3 XF 18-55 XC 50-230 7Artisans 27mm F/1.4 MF TTArtisans 27mm F/2.8 I’ve been really liking the 7Artisans 27mm F/1.4 for low light scenarios, but as it’s a cheap chinese lens it underperforms when shooting into bright lights, so it’s quite terrible for late-night city photography and event photograph…

Insane rent vs buy levels

Insane rent vs buy levels Hey folks, I’m in San Diego, CA. The area has always had a premium for owning a house. At the moment, I can afford a house. However, I’m having a lot of difficulty pulling the trigger. Here’s why: The cost to rent a 3 bed 2 bath house around 1400sf+ in amazing condition, in a good neighborhood (clairemont, tierresanta, etc.) is about $5000 per m…

The GMC Hummer EV Is Still The Least Efficient EV You Can Buy

( jalopnik.com )

The GMC Hummer EV Is Still The Least Efficient EV You Can Buy By now, we all know the Hummer EV’s deal. It’s comically oversized, so heavy it’s banned from parts of U.S. infrastructure, and somehow produces more carbon dioxide than a gas-powered vehicle with the same number of seats. It takes just about every toxic, road-destroying, and deadly trend in modern motoring and cranks… Read more…

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: When using PayPal to buy items in a foreign currency, use your credit card to convert the currency instead of PayPal The conversion fee is likely lower from your credit card than it is from PayPal. The default option is to let PayPal convert it to your local currency unless you specifically say otherwise. When finalizing the PayPal payment, look for the currency option and change it to the currency that the vendor accepts. For example, a $22 USD item costs me …

A helpful tip I’ve found to scratch the ‘itch’ of buying new things…Using Facebook ‘Buy Nothing’ groups or Facebook Marketplace. This obviously depends on where you live, but I’ve been frequenting my neighborhood’s “Buy Nothing” group for a bit and have gotten a ton of great stuff at 0 cost. I’ve easily saved over $1k so far. It scratches the itch of purchasing something new, but costs almost nothing. Example of things I’ve gotten: – Ember heated coffee mug Kids toys for…

LPT: if you feel robbed when you need to duce right after a shower, then you should probably just buy a bidet. This is especially bad for guys. We have a freaking forest down there. There’s just no way to get clean without water. Just buy a bidet seat cover, they are less expensive than two years of TP. If you have a septic system, you’re going to save immediately by extending the time between pump visits. Most importantly, you are going to FEEL clean. J…

Is it ever a good idea to sacrifice retirement savings in order to save up to buy an investment property?

( www.reddit.com )

Is it ever a good idea to sacrifice retirement savings in order to save up to buy an investment property? Pretty much the title. I’m currently on track to max out the $22.5k this year, but I’m considering dropping my 401K contributions to around where my company’s 4% match is at. My reasoning is that I’d like to save a down payment for an investment property. I also see real estate as a way to grow my wealth, so in essence I’d still be contributing …
