That all sounds like BS from someone that didn't try too hard and is now bitter. I started with absolutely nothing in my pocket, spent 11 years in the military learning a trade, got out and worked hard (and not using the trade that I learned) and retired at 50 years old. I'm not rich by a damn shot but I made smart investments, drove VW Bugs and Ford Focus's when my friends were driving BMWs and Lexus. All most people know how to do is spend, spend, spend. Being savvy with your money is a long forgotten skill. If you want to blame anyone, blame Madison Avenue advertisers that tell us that we will be smart and get all the 🐈 if we just use their product. Meanwhile, I will sit here being happy with my small-but-comfortable house and my 2013 Honda Fit, both long paid off. That's how that I can operate a BrickLink store full-time for fun and take 4-6 weeks off each year traveling the world. The "elite" has done nothing to me other than show me how to save and how not to waste money. And I am about as common as they come. ***Updated to add: To get you started on looking for opportunities to improving your finances, let me offer this $100 tidbit. It works because I used it. If you have Rakuten, go to their page. Click on the Western Alliance ad below. Add a $100 towards a CD earning 5.21%. Within 24 hours, Rakuten will add $100 to your account. At the end of three months, either withdraw the $105.15 or roll it over into a different CD. Meanwhile, you made $100 while investing. You are welcome.

High buy in, only going to net 15%-20% discount at best for reselling, if it was doubled with good rakuten cb might be more appealing. It does seem like they made quite a bit. My thoughts.. I’m sitting out this one.

Latest results announced today Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Italian Riviera Strong Bricklink Venice vibes for obvious reasons. I'm meh on these, could be good though.

Nothing indicates that it is capped, but there's no specific fine print I can find outside of the generic one tied to the overall program. I did pose the question to customer service so we will see, unless anyone else has experience with them? I have used C1 a handful times only and every time it's been a pain since I had to wait 90 days to dispute missing CB. Haven't had issues with getting them to add however, but the amounts have only been in the $20-$30 ranges

Enabler 🤣

Never said that you were ranting. I said that what you were saying sounded to me like BS. I'm done arguing with you. Go on through life with your "common man suffers routine." Let's see at what age you retire. Swipe that card! 🤑 But, you had better hurry. GWP ends soon.

It will continue to slide for a few weeks.

Depends. Rarely do I buy anything at asking, but quite often I've been able to load up when there are 70-80% markdowns.

Anytime I see anything at Costco, it’s an instant “I’m skipping that one.”

But I thought stocks just go up infinitely forever and ever? I personally welcome it. The amount of greed and risk taking in the world is too great.
