Excellent and nice choices! I feel the same way about the Revel F208 speakers I bought a while back. Completely didn't need them since the Revel F36 were already pretty good but oh was the improvement noticeable. I honestly don't think I will replace them as long as the are working properly.

I stopped looking at ABnB a few years ago. It stopped making financial and quality of life sense. The costs became nearly equal or greater than that of hotels I cross shopped.

The hassle though is what really killed it. The inconvenience of dealing with a host that was not on-site and often not available to deal with issues plus the long list of chores required and the potential penalties of not following them perfectly just made it not worth doing.

It might be helpful to your long term financial health to find out what that is.

Yeah, I can't argue with that. I try to avoid funds that have significant investment in weapons manufacturers. If a person's needs require a minimum level social and/or environmental awareness, there are tools in the Fidelity research system that show that kind of thing. This may be limited to specific stocks and not funds though. I can only speak about Fidelity since that is my only point of experience.

I've never been on a long (trans ocean) flight with a major airline that charged for water.

I don't if the flight is long and it is bigger aircraft (two aisles: A350, 787, A380, 777, etc). I try to be up and moving around as much as possible. No booze. Eat light if at all. Drink water.

Don't get fat. It is so hard to lose weight once you get over 40 years of age because you are fighting a reduced metabolism.

Investing even relatively small amounts of money monthly or weekly into an indexed mutual fund or similar at a young age should result in substantial growth and returns over 30 years or so.

Don't lend money that you expect to get back.

In the States we didn't get the Transit until very recently. We had the Econoline Van. Give Neil Young's Tonight's The Night a listen.

Hope they put a bigger engine in it. The one our company had in China was way under powered.
