Classic cars, if you're into cars. Think older Porsche 911, muscle cars, Broncos, old pickup trucks, etc. This is not mine, and probably not $35k, but it can be an investment that you can have a lot of fun with. https://ibb.co/Vcby0WXC

I have a motorcycle lift and a car lift, but the desk is great for motorcycle engine rebuilds or working on a steering rack, just like a normal workbench but you can raise what you're working on to chest high instead of bending over all the time.

I love them, I have one at work and three at home. I end up standing about 80% of the time and I feel that I'm more productive when I'm standing. When I sit at my desk, I tend to try to get comfortable and slouch a little in my chair, which makes me want to be lazy.

A big plus I found is that at work, it is much easier to show someone a coding problem or something I'm working on if the desk is at the standing height. It's kind of like working on a whiteboard.

Both my wife and I have adjustable desks for our home offices, and my wife doesn't even have a chair with hers, she's always standing.

I was able to get a used one from my last job after they remodeled our offices. I'm going to use that one for my garage workbench. I weigh 230 pounds, and just for fun, I wanted to see if the desk could lift me, so I sat on it and my desk had no problem going up and down multiple times. That made me have the idea it would be a perfect workbench for working on my motorcycle or car parts.

This is true, and there are many strategies that hedge funds use besides just buy(long) or sell(short) the market. High frequency trading is one, another is spread trading. With spread trading, you take 2 stocks that are highly correlated to each other, let's say Ford and GM. You buy one, and you short the other. You are technically market neutral, so if they both go up or down, you are still break even. When the 2 stocks start trading closer or further apart by a couple of standard deviations, you can put on a trade that bets the 2 stocks will revert to the mean of their historic ratios.

I was laid off in 2009, in the middle of the housing bust and it was rough. Fortunately, I was on my own, so I only had to take care of myself, but being laid off taught me to keep current with my skills when times are good. I was caught flat footed and unemployed, and it took me nearly 9 months to get another job. 9 months is a looong time to be sitting around wondering about your future as you watch more and more layoffs happen.

The one good thing about layoffs is that it grows your network. Eventually you and your old coworkers find new jobs at different companies and now you have new contacts there. This is how I got my first job after being laid off, my old co-worker got a new job and he reached out to me.

It's not a safe car by any modern means, we got it for drives on the weekend. It only has a lap belt and no power brakes, but it's fun to drive :-)

2008 Toyota Tundra with 208k miles. I needed a truck to tow a toy hauler and also to take my dirt bike to the track. I also race down in Mexico and the truck is old enough that I'm not worried what happens to it, but it's still reliable not to leave me stranded.

My wife drives a 1967 Chevy Nova with an 525hp LS3. We sold her BMW 435i because used car prices were ridiculous and we got an offer for only $2k less then we bought it for 5 years earlier.

We both work from home so MPG of our cars were not a concern.

HA! I was just going to write this. It's like my official 'old man' gift for Christmas. People laugh about it, but when you get one, it's amazing lol.

MP3 players, beepers, pay phones and phone booths, phone charger battery vending machines at airports, boom boxes, laser disks... basically everything I remember growing up with in the 90's :-)

Apples(if you like them). If you are hungry, and an apple doesn't sounds good to eat, you are probably bored and not hungry. It helped me from eating snack foods.

Wouldn't any gaming systems with cartridges be considered finished? Atari, Nintendo, etc.

Acupuncture. I had a similar issue with my pinkie and ring finger on my right hand started going numb at work. I had an ergonomics specialist from my company give me a whole new setup, but the only thing that actually helped was getting acupuncture/massage 1-2 times a week for a couple weeks straight. One interesting thing I found out was that while I was having numbness in my hand, the nerve that was causing it was in my shoulder/upper back.

Ex-Nortel here! First job out of college working in NY.

In hindsight, concentrating on finding a side hustle or a business of my own instead of just trying to be a better engineer. 90% of new ventures fail, but everyone thinks they will be the exception. I was basically broke with no savings and no job when I was 32. I'm 40 and bounced back a bit, but I feel so behind in my career and saving for retirement.

Not common in San Diego either... the sunshine tax is real.

Start closing them pretty fast and this will pop up.

It would be for a senior QA/test/automation engineer position. I don't have an impressive GitHub account and I wanted to show that I have an interest in writing code outside of work.

I use unusual options activity to find stocks. From there I check the charts and will either go with, against, or pass on the trade. 2-3 trades a year in my 401k. +38% YTD, +55% YOY.

Motocross, Street bike riding, Desert Racing, Riding in Baja, throwing a wrench on my bike/truck/RV.

Looking at starting a company motorcycle related...hope it doesn't kill my hobbies :-/

You are I are almost the same. Me and my girlfriend are both 38, no kids, no plan for kids, been together for 7 years, just got back from a 7 day Alaska cruise.

I do. I used to have a yz250, now I ride a KTM 450sx-f. I've ridden down Baja a couple times. I have an idea for a start up that deals with dirt bikes but it's kind of a small market and I haven't really been able to pull the trigger.

For charts I use Tradingview.

I checked for my city and there are a couple fire fighters with salaries of $45k-$75k a year but made $140k-$180k in just overtime and overall total comp of $220+. How does that even happen?

Just ads, I've never done a paid app.

Sennheiser CX 685. They are a little pricey but work well. I got them for the gym and for when I run. They stay in your ear pretty well even when your running and all sweaty. That might not be what your looking for but I figure I would throw it out there. It's funny you posted this because they just crapped out on me last week after 2 years of daily use. I've had Sony earbuds before them and they would only last about a year. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-685-Adidas-Headphones/dp...

I started to make simple Android apps about a year ago. I have 8 apps, 1 makes 50% of the income, and 4 make the other half. The other 3 do nothing. They make ~$250 a month, so nothing crazy, but it's 100% passive. Once I release the apps, I rarely touch them again.

I've used those 2 methods for my apps and haven't had a problem.

That's good to know. I have 6 apps out that are all made from the same source code, but each one has a couple of changes and all have different icons and images. People used to make cloans of live wallpaper apps, but most of them got the developer banned, so I don't really know what the line is for duplicate apps.
