I'm building a 6x8ft single sloped roof shed for my motorcycle. I don't really want to use windows because I don't want other people interested in what I have. But obviously I don't want it to be dark and gloomy. It's small, but I want to make it nice. What would you do?

I might have the opportunity to get a running 1987 el Camino from a loose family connection for no or very low cost. Is it a vehicle that's worth having? I don't know much about them.

I'm taking this after work adult vocational program and I hate patient care but like studying how stuff works. I have a business degree though so I need to do lots and lots of science classes to make up. What is the lowest cost way to try that kind of thing out? Bristol Community has a laboratory science program. I'm 31 now.

I only use Fidelity for investing as I have a local bank I transferred my ROTH IRA from and keep my savings account and 2 CDs. I like keeping a solid portion of what I have FDIC insured, which covers up to 250,000 I think. Both CDs currently have an interest rate of 3.something% with a total value of about 95k. Even after paying cash for a motorcycle this year I have 19k in my savings account.

The current value of my fidelity accounts are 69k and I started to transfer stuff over since I opened my 401k in June of last year.

There is a constant lingering possibility of wanting to buy a condo, go to college again, or even just take an international trip. Despite my current level of savings, my income is depressingly bad, which I am trying to change.

So my question is pretty general. Am I doing money right? Or am I doing money wrong?

I opened my new 401k that fidelity manages in june of last year. Then I moved over my ROTH IRA and opened a brokerage account a few months later. So far I've turned 63.5k into 68.9k.

Brokerage is FXAIX and FTIHX at 75% 25%. How do I get more money faster? Or at this point should I just be glad it's slowly turning more green? I'm 31 and i'm willing to do some slightly riskier things at some point, but I'm still building my baseline right now so I don't know proportionately, what I should be doing.

Started a 401k with fidelity last year. Since that seems to be doing okay. I moved over my ROTH IRA as well. Then i started a brokerage account and started just doing a couple simple index funds, and whenever it stays down for a week I stick more in. So is that considered an acceptable amount of money for that period of time? Or should I do more crazy things?

edit: i forgot to say this, but i'm thirty one and haven't really done this before.

I should have gotten a degree in laboratory science, biology or something along those lines. But I ended up getting a degree in operations management that I was never able to successfully figure out how to apply and be happy with what I do.

What I actually enjoy is studying things, gathering information and finding things out. What I don't like is basically anything to do with dealing with other people.

But almost every entry level position in any industry I can find is mostly dealing with people in one way or another. Do I need to go back to college for 4 more years to get a laboratory degree in order to be happy in life? Or is there a more straightforward and hopefully easier way to do that?

Just an interesting question I thought of. I'm assuming a Speed Triple 1200. But what do you think?

My account is doing ok so far, but I only have the confidence to do the KISS method. But I wouldn't mind getting some in person tips on tweaks or ideas. Is that something fidelity does for people just investing on their own?

I don't want people to post actual numbers but in terms of how many months or years of being paid to do the job you currently have, how long would it take you to earn as much as your portfolio has grown by? And how long did that take?

Is it better to aim to stop AT the white intersection line or a few feet before it and then roll forward? I'm still getting a feel for how long it takes the bike I have to stop from different speeds. I need to get out and practice.

I would say it's probably better to undershoot than overshoot, but if you undershoot, then the car behind you might be like "wtf are you doing?" and slam into the back of you.

I have a business degree from 2016 thought I was never able to fully make use of due to working in a grocery store and not having any internship opportunities available when I was a student. I tried to be an army civilian equipment specialist for 2 years and I got fat from sitting in chairs and bored when people didn't email me with projects, and the constantly changing expectations killed me.

I tried to work in a bank for 3 weeks as a teller and deeply hated the constant back and forth with people.

Now I'm taking a bio medical assisting training program for free and I deeply despise phlebotomy, EKG, and touching people in general. But I actually do really enjoy the using the microscopes and looking at cells on a screen part. But in order to do that professionally, I need more biology and science college as most places only higher dual roll assistants that still do phlebotomy. Which I'm not going to do.

So I don't know what low social stimulation but not moving boxes around all day jobs I can have and I'm having an identity crisis and going to cry.

Please tell me what you would do.

First thing I noticed when taking my like new DL650 around the block was how much it dives when slowing down. Does it need heavier weight oil? Better springs? That'll be the first thing I want to improve if its possible.

I just picked up my first bike the other day and obviously don't want to get ahead of myself but it's way more practical and comfortable, but not the sporty wild thing I was originally envisioning. So now I am still dreaming about owning a BMW M1000R.

How much riding should I do before you would say I would probably be able to safely use one?

I'm in Massachusetts.

I'm taking a free medical assisting program after work that I quite like. BUT I am only enjoying the lab part, NOT the phlebotomy, patient interaction part.

I guess it depends on the size of the hospital if they hire lab-exclusive assistants that don't do patient stuff. The other thought is reference and research labs.

Should I just get as associates degree first and try to sidestep phlebotomy by being directly hired as MT/MLT and continue to do my crap job for 2 more years? Or what should I try to do?

I have a 4 year degree in business management now but it isn't working for me. Thanks!!
