Hello there
I’m looking to get a lease deal on a prologue ELITE(really need that HUD) for $399 a month max, 0 down, I’ve seen it multiple times on this sub, I live in NYC, and I’m willing to travel anywhere in the US to be able to get this deal. Any leads would be appreciated!
Also is it even worth getting that car even if it’s discontinued?
Looking for a clean, respectful roommate who values boundaries for a room in a quiet Bushwick apartment.
Location
On a quiet street with easy transit access:
• JMZ train at Flushing Ave
• G train at Flushing Ave
• L train at Montrose Ave (~16 min walk)
Food Bazaar is about a 7-minute walk. Tons of restaurants and bars along Graham Ave, plus easy access deeper into Bushwick if you want more nightlife.
The Room
• Fits a full or queen bed plus a desk (see photo)
• Window
• Smaller closet, no walk-in
The Household
You’d be living with two easygoing, quiet roommates a 24-year-old who works from home and a 26-year-old who works in hospitality. There are also two French Bulldogs in the house. Unfortunately we’re not able to accommodate additional pets.
Terms
• Month-to-month
• First month + security deposit to move in.
Hey there still haven’t pulled the trigger but I think this is a good deal, can it get any better than this?
TL;DR: I am $10k underwater on a 2025 Honda Prologue Elite ($42.1k payoff, $32.2k Carvana offer). 60-month loan is at 2.99% APR, payment is $950/mo ($845 goes to principal). Brooklyn insurance jumps to $525/mo in November due to a recent at-fault accident. If I sell now, I get a $1,814 insurance refund and can float the $10k negative equity on a 0% APR credit card until January 2027. Do I sell next Tuesday, or does holding until November to let my principal pay down make more sense?

My Dilemma / The Main Questions:
Give it to me straight. Am I missing something, or is next Tuesday the right time to let them haul it away? Thanks!
With the CPI coming in, Robinhood prediction has that it will be >4.2% at 67%, now US retaliating and then Iran attacking bases in Bahrain? Like I really feel SPY is gonna dump, is 700 or 710 realistic for tomorrow morning volatility?
Liftoff Mobile is hitting Nasdaq tomorrow (June 4) under $LFTO. AI-powered mobile app advertising platform — SDK integrated into 140,000+ apps, 1.4 billion daily active users, $741M in revenue. 
This is actually their second attempt — they tried in January at $26-$30/share targeting a $5B+ valuation, pulled it in February during the tech selloff, and came back with a smaller, cheaper deal.  Now pricing at $20-$22/share. 
The valuation reset is either a red flag or a buying opportunity depending on how you look at it. Blackstone still controls majority voting power post-IPO , which is worth knowing.
Anyone requesting shares through their broker? Thinking about it but want to hear thoughts first.
P.S: Wallstreetbets deleted my post so idk if that means something…
Where I started (~2 weeks ago):
Total: $16,257 | Roth IRA: $8,513 | Individual: $7,743
Roth IRA was spread across FXAIX, VXUS, VXF, VNQ, GLD, SCHD, QQQ, BND
Individual was mostly FXAIX (82%) with small positions in AVGO, VXUS, VNQ, QQQ, SCHD
What changed:
• Added ~$2,300 in fresh capital
• Consolidated and took on more risk per previous feedback
• Took a ~$90 loss on a space hype play and cut it early — didn’t believe in the thesis
• Dropped most of the small scattered positions
Where I am now:
Grand Total: $18,400 | +5.05%
Roth IRA ($8,407 +2.64%):
• DRAM — $4,829 (57%) -1.98%
• FXAIX — $2,527 (30%) +11.09%
• QQQ — $468 (5.56%) +20.39%
• NBIS — $414 (4.91%) -5.08%
Individual ($9,992 +7.14%):
• FXAIX — $6,386 (63.90%) +10.75%
• NBIS — $1,374 (13.75%) -2.56%
• NOK — $1,351 (13.52%) +3.91%
• AVGO — $542 (5.42%) +8.33%
• DRAM — $276 (2.76%) -5.33%
Full year of expenses saved separately, this is purely investable money.
What do you think of the changes? Still on track for $50K?

• VXUS — $128 (1.66%)
• VNQ, QQQ, SCHD, BND, VXF — small positions
I have a full year of expenses saved separately in a different account, so this is purely investable money. Would prefer not to liquidate, but would like to hear your thoughts on how to optimize the path to $50K.
First Cartier piece
Long time lurker, first time poster. Finally pulled the trigger on my first serious watch and wanted to get some feedback from people who actually know what they’re talking about.
Picked up a brand new 2026 Cartier Santos Medium from a dealer in the Diamond District in NYC. All in with tax it came to $7,730 on my AMEX(waived 3% fee). The dealer tried to get me to Zelle him for $7,100 with no tax but I wasn’t about to give up my chargeback protection on a $7K watch, hard pass.
Here’s where it gets interesting. When I got home the box wouldn’t close properly, so I immediately walked over to the Cartier boutique on Madison Ave to get it authenticated and resized. They confirmed it was 100% real, confirmed it’s a 2026, got registered for my 8 years of warranty, resized the bracelet, AND when I mentioned the box issue they just gave me a brand new box and bag on the spot. Didn’t even hesitate.
So I walked out of Cartier Madison with a verified authentic watch, properly fitted, fresh box, fresh bag, full set. Pretty surreal honestly.
Been eyeing the Santos for a while — to me it’s the quintessential classic men’s watch. The history, the design, the fact that it’s been in production for over 100 years. Feels like the right first serious piece.
Did I overpay? Did I do alright? Would love to hear from people who’ve bought grey market before.
