    Finances for addicts

    At 58 and looking back, my cheap memories mean as much to me as my expensive memories lol. Lot of cheap adventure in the west with some gas money and a bit of desire.

    Finances for addicts

    I did the same on any bonuses or tax refunds. Put them on the house. Had it paid off in a single income family at age 40. Then things started getting a lot more fun.

    Finances for addicts

    Look at Fidelity or Vanguard for a stock fund with low initial investment. Then do monthly deposits. Its really easy to get going. Money markets are paying 5.3% now but the Total Stock Market Index fund is still beating most funds at the before mentioned 12.7% annual rate the last 10 years.

    Finances for addicts

    Vanguard Total Stock Market Index for the life of the fund which started 11/2000 is 8.25% a year. For the last 10 years its 12.27% a year. Compounding interest is very powerful but requires discipline and patience. Hunt a lot of stuff along the way and this is indeed a way of paying for a dream...

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    If someone gave my son $25,000 and told him he could use it on a house down payment or spend it on a hunt with me, I'd be pissed as hell if we went hunting. But since he was 3 we've been hunting together and he has a wall full of great animals on DIY hunts here in CO. My daughter is the same...

    6x45

    After I built mine, I went on a blackpowder and archery spree. The 87 vmax is interesting to me. I love bullet performance at modest impact performance have always have routinely boring performance from all makes of Berger vld. But I bet that 87 would do well. It may be a bit softer than my...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    As a young kid I started out with a 7mm Remington. Then a 7mmSTW. Then a 338 win mag. Then a 340 weatherby. Then a 375 Weatherby. Then a 30-06. Then a 6.5-06. Then a 6.5x47. Kind of settled on the 6.5x47, 6.5-284 and 6x45 for hunting stuff these days. It was a fun road to go down, but if I had...

    6x45

    My 6/45 was built as a lefty using an ARC Nucleus, Hawk Hill 7.5 twist at 18" and sits in a McMillan classic. I shoot 95 vld, 95 classics, 90 eld and 75 vmax, all at or very close to half inch. I can get the 95 stuff up very close to 2600 fps. RL15, Varget and TAC. Brass is basically free as I...

    Talk me out of, or into a canoe

    So you buy a canoe for $600, use it for 3 years and sell it for $600. This doesn't seem like a crisis. Personally I love fishing out of a well built canoe for bass and panfish.

    Trapping coyotes... any suggestions

    They are killing a ton of my KS deer each year. Planning on doing same as you there. Going to try Duke 650 traps with cable anchors. Dirt hole set and perhaps a straw bale set too.

    Kubota vs John Deere

    Tractorhouse.com offers nationwide looks at used tractors. I bought a low hours 2022 Kubota L3560 recently and it was $1400 to ship from eastern MO to CO. I mention that only because it saved me a ton vs buying new from local shop. I'll pay a bit more for implements from them for the...

    Bighorn Sheep Tag Process

    Nonresident odds in Colorado are .0027. Or if my math is right, about 1 in 400. If you have the money just spend a few hundred thousand and get it done.
