Costco? Sams club? Amazon? We live in a pretty good place but nowhere is perfect. Just got a video recording from a neighbor about some new neighbors kid stealing off their porch, arrested, and he has been throwing trash everywhere outside our house and others. I dont need high tech indoor outdoor, but would prefer plug and play for a good deal. Thanks!

Thats it. The emails telling us they are changing their name. Kind of comical. Its like...ok

So I have basically lived with some type of nervous tic my entire life. It rotates around on my body, I have repeatedly raised my eye brows, blinked excessively, twisted my wrists just little flicks, etc. Nothing I am not used to and I have just accepted it by now (41). I am an avid exerciser and find movement and exercise help it immensely. However this new tic is exhausting my entire body. I injured my rib cage on the leg press machine 3 weeks ago and it has been extremely sore. Well as tics would have it i began tensing my stomach where the soreness is and it has become an all day occurrence now, as in almost every other second all day. I am a teacher and the days are incredibly overstimulating so I do my best and just deal with it. However I know my heart rate is constantly on increase and my blood pressure rises artificially because of my core constantly tensing. When I get home my body is EXHAUSTED because I have done this all work day long. My blood pressure is normally a perfect range but every time I come home I check it and it is slightly elevated. It comes back down within a few minutes of lying down but I can tell it was probably elevated all day.

This is the most bodily exhausting tic I have ever had. Is there ANYTHING or any coping mechanism that can help me with this? Honestly I am a pretty tough guy and am not embarrassed by any of this, but it is definitely something I dont really talk to anyone about. Thanks for any help.

Age 41, male, get morning wood every day, sex drive constantly there could do it almost daily, no problem getting it up and finishing with wife (in fact probably too quick lol), always feel like getting after it daily. Eat healthy, dont smoke or drink, get 7-8 hours of sleep daily and exercise.

I haven't had my test levels checked but I was just wondering if this would automatically indicate my levels are at least in normal range?

I am NOT asking for medical advice

*Currently still hypothetical*

In 12 years my wife and I will have approx combined $110k pension. We also have a paid off rental that should net $30k yearly that we profit after all expenses. So basically guaranteed $140k by age 54. Currently with 3 kids we spend about $4.5-5k per month, sometimes a bit more, usually never less. So SAFELY spend right now $60-72k. For ease of numbers I would assume we will peak with spending over the next 8-10 years since our kids will be college to hs age by then. However I will also assume that after they leave the expenses will drop some too. $140k in 12-14 years seems it will still be quite a bit more than we will spend in a year even then.

Heres where our investments come in...we currently have $530k invested at age 41. Assuming we keep maxing roth ira only until 59, we should have $2.6 mill. If we waited 2 more years that number should tip over $3 million. We will also be getting social security, so its safe to assume that combined will at least be $30-40k. So, the investment money seems it will be purely for fun spending, not necessities, and if it ever had to be for necessities, probably not more than 1% of it yearly. With this in mind, would you feel more comfortable withdrawing say 6-8% in a good year? Is there any strategy you would do with this?

I know this isnt a eos issue, but anyone that uses the normatec boots in the tank, have you experienced air leaks in certain boots? I am so tired of sitting for 6 minutes, feeling minimal compression, and sure enough screen says air leak. I am tempted to bring a red marker in and make a discreet red dot on the ones that work so I know when I come to use that specific one. How do these air leaks get fixed? I really enjoy the boots, but i am not sure anyone has even brought it to the offices attention. I am in a rush every morning but am considering on the weekend telling them.

I got a 4 month free membership with amazon music. I was excited. Been using it for the gym. Problem? Half the songs I play i turn on, put phone down, begin my lift, and the song turns off, I do my entire set with no music, then check my phone...buffering. the song usually turns on once I push pause-play, but will cut off again shortly after. I have cleared cache, the wifi is fine, but even on 5g same thing. But I notice certain songs I play the most seem to not have to buffer at all, almost like theyre downloaded. Why is this? I want to like it but it is a hard no so far.

We set our account up with our bank checking account and were told it would avoid the $2.99 processing fee. We still got charged the fee when the bill came. I asked front desk, they said they put in a ticket for it to be looked at and taken off, but when our next bill was up online for when it was upcoming, it still showed it on there. I emailed their contact us email over a week ago and havent received a email back. Not sure what to do at this point. Its still a killer deal my wife and I together for $37 per month with the annual pass bundled in, but we were told we could avoid that fee and it seems theres no one who can help with it?

I am not big by any means but I have always trained intense and go all in with what I do. The past 3 weeks I began switching to going to a gym instead of my home gym. It has been amazing because the machines help me work around injuries etc. Anyway there are only a few lifts I care to track...incline db press, overhead db press, pendulum and hack squat, and rdl. Db stuff and rdl, I never have a problem as my gym has 12 squat racks (yeah crazy), and plenty of adjustable benches for pressing. However only 1 pendulum and hack squat. I have limited time to do my workout daily, and every morning I go in for legs, I look over at the pendulum squat, and if it isn't taken I just almost skip my warmup to rush over there to hog it until I am done. Once I get there i usually do a set of like 15-20 with no weight nice and slow, then hop off stretch do bodyweight squats and sit in a squat for a minute. I would prefer getting on the treadmill and walk backwards for a few minutes, do leg curl some before I begin, etc. But by then I am afraid someone or a group will hop on the pendulum or hack and it will mess up my routine. I guess writing this out it doesnt seem like a huge deal, especially at 5am in the morning, but the gym begins to get crowded at maybe 5:30-6, so I definitely dont have a ton of time before it gets taken. How can I get around this anxiety of equipment being taken? I dont even really track anything else because other lifts I just allow a range, like say 10-15 reps, and move up once it feels easier. Its just those first main lifts I like to track and add weight so I have to use them consistently to see progress.

My wife has been a eos member for 2 years. In that time we have used our credit card and it got billed $9.99 monthly with annual fee. We upgraded to the will power for her, $29.99 per month. Guy had us switch to our bank checking account to avoid $2.99 fee. Strange, we never got billed the way it was $2.99. Just got our bill, $32.98. From our checking account. This doesnt make sense, as before we didnt get charged using our credit card, but now that we are using direct deposit, we got charged $2.99. I plan to ask Saturday morning because we are too busy during the week morning to inquire. In the meantime, curious if anyone here knows what is going on?

Sorry if wrong forum, figured you guys might relate lol. I got a home gym in 2010 as a result of being a powerlifter and sick and tired of having 1-2 squat racks at la fitness or 24 hr fitness. It was heaven sent for 16 years. Fast forward today. Wife takes me to a HUGE eos that has it all, massage chairs, normatec boots, massage guns, hot cold plunge, sauna, infrared, 12 SQUAT RACKS, and every single piece of equipment ever. Fast forward me to not power lifting anymore but needing more equipment to work around injuries or whatnot. Anyway I have a plethora of equipment that could sell for up to $3-4k, and honestly dont see myself training anymore at home. The gym is only 6 min away and theyre making one behind our house 3 min drive away. There's no reason I would ever be so busy I would not be able to get there enough days a week. I am on the fence of selling my home equipment. I figured i should maybe wait 6-12 months before fully deciding. I may get tired of going then be left with no home gym. We arent hurting for money, so I dont need to sell for any reason other than its all taking up space. I was thinking I would keep my concept 2 rower and echo bike, but as for the stuff like ghr, prowler sled, reverse hyper, I might sell as they take up a lot of space. Curious what you guys would do?

At home I have a c2 rower and love it. I do 4x4 intervals on it or my echo bike. However I have been going to a local gym lately with my wife and actually have been obsessed with going, using the amenities, and getting out of the house. Anyway they have a life fitness heat rower. I used it today for my 4x4 and besides the monitor being terrible compared to the c2, the pacing per 500 seemed very off. It was saying I was hitting 1:49 avg.but I have been doing 4x4 weekly for years and always hit 1;52-1:54. This isnt a deal breaker because I am not a rower, I just need a device to get my hr up to zone 5. However I dont want to be unaware of my personal pacing and blow up after 2 minutes. Anyway, should I just get used to this rowers pacing if I am gona do rowing here?

Simple question, curious if anyone does 4x4 same day as lifting? I normally give 4x4 its own day but I am switching routines and from a home gym to a eos gym, and have been absolutely loving going to the gym. I was doing lower, upper, 4x4 day, rest, repeat. Now i was planning to do mon-sat of legs, pull, push, 4x4, lower, upper, then rest Sunday. However I am considering doing legs, pull, push AND 4x4 separated by morning and afternoon, then pick up thursday-sat doing legs, pull, push, full rest Sunday. Curious if this combo is ok? I would do it on push day because I use the concept 2 rower for 4x4 so saving my pull muscles and legs some away from it.

Hi everyone, we have a big silver power box planted right between our house and our neighbors house. Over the past 12 years it has severely rusted and killed the grass around it. I found out from neighbors you can call srp and they will replace it. Multiple people saying they come out and replace it within a few days. I called back early May, they said it would be maybe 4-6 weeks until they could replace it. Thats ok, not end of the world. Fast forward a few days ago i call and after some time they tell me they wont be able to replace it for about 4 months or until it cools down. Its not a huge deal, but I am asking on here mostly to see if others have had this replaced in the summer and why they would say 4-6 weeks then say they cant replace it in the summer.

We are getting the will power membership where the member can bring a friend but has to be present. My wife had this initially a couple years ago and when I went to use it alone they never questioned it. Then she dropped down to the $10 monthly tier and they took her picture with her membership. I am just wondering what your experience has been if I went alone without her at a different time.

We are 41 with $510k ish invested in index funds. We are in jobs where we will receive pensions combined up to $105-110k. Something struck me just now seeing this...we have only contributed to our roth iras the past few years, like $15k total yearly. I noticed something...if my goal is $3 mill invested, the difference between reaching it with $15k contributions vs nothing at all is only about 2 years, assuming 9-10% returns. So we could have an additional $15k of yearly experiences between 41-59, then when we have guaranteed income already coming in, all we would have to do is wait 2 more years before we reach $3 million. It almost seems like a no brainer to stop investing at this point, enjoy experiences from ages 41-60, and still have more than enough income by 60-61 to do even more than we were already doing. We also receive ss so 5-7 more years after 60 would yield us another $48k. While i have no plans to stop investing, am I right for thinking if an opportunity occasionally comes up to do something where we may only put $3-5k into our roths instead of the max that it would be just fine?

If you know the sub reddit I am referring to you get it. Apartments used to be like... the loft, San Marcos, the Groves. Now its like the Tyler, the Erica, the bodhi, the Camden, etc. They all start with "the" and some basic white persons name. What is with this? Lol

My wife and I are 41 and in jobs that have pensions. I need another 12 years to reach approximately $55k yearly pension for life, she needs 16 more years for the same. We already have 2 paid off houses, $535k invested, zero debt, and 2 years away from having fully funded 529s for our 3 kids. By all means we could probably work at a gas station at this point part time and make it month to month. All we invest in at this point is maxing our roth iras yearly into vtsax. That alone by age 59 should get us over $3 million, or $140k yearly, or about $11k monthly. We currently spend about $5k per month. Our take home from rent and work after deductions, roths, and 529s is $7,700. So we have about $2.7k per month to put away in savings. In 2 years we will have $1k extra into savings because our 529 goals will be complete.

So, basically, by 59, we will have like $21k monthly to spend. If we currently spend $5k per month, inflation at 3% says we should spend like $8,500 per month in 18 years. And yet, we will likely have at minimum over $18k yearly to spend. This isnt even getting into inheritance territory yet, social security, or a side job we may be interested in eventually.

The point I am trying to make is, we both want our pensions, are mentally and physically capable of doing our jobs, and want to keep working to receive our guaranteed $100-110k yearly income. That said, I am asking if it seems it would be acceptable to spend more of our income now? There arent many more things I want, but definitely a few things here and there.

Hey everyone, guy here. My wife just got the shark mask and it has the cold therapy option for under eyes. I have a cold plunge tub I keep at 39-41 degrees. I normally dip my face in it for 15-30 seconds every morning. Is there really a difference between the 2? Just curious. Thanks!
