I'm yielding 5 digits a month with crypto, pays for everything. quick path to retirement if you know what you're doing.

I'd take any insight financially I can get. I have about 16K in Crypto, mostly ETH, BTC, ADA, Doge, VTHO and a few others. I have my Military Retirement in Vanguard and Bosch my current employer is Fidelity. I also play around in my Brokerage account through Fidelity.
As far as my $83,200 Raptor on order I have 17K positive equity in my current 18 F150, $34k from the Mustang I just sold and a 1.78% loan for the remainder. Just a retired Military Guy on his 2nd career making about $30 an hour.

$83k is a lot to spend on anything @ $30/hr, but you have cash from the trade in and Mustang which helps.

Of course, a Raptor isn't just "a car", it can be a hobby/lifestyle as well -- assuming you're actually taking it out on adventures and not just mall crawling.

If you are just mall crawling, you should rethink spending 1.5x your annual income on a vehicle... but 1.78% fantastic. Assuming you're comfortable with your income, have no debt, etc. its a splurge on a toy and hard to quantify that.

Regardless, hang onto ETH, and it should be the largest % of your crypto holdings for long term. I'd drop ADA for more ETH personally, but ADA might see short term higher gains (but it will not last long term).

700? They have any raptors at the buy here/pay here car lots?

700 is the average Americans credit score

I think he just wanted to share with us how successful he is, since his Mom didn't answer his call today

nah, I don't brag on the internet about my success.

But I do like seeing other people doing smart **** financially. Especially when they want to own depreciating assets like these trucks.

I like crypto a lot for an overall part of someones investments.

But no one knows what will go up or down. not you or anyone else. diversification is key

ETH is 80% of my holdings, it's staked. I am a firm believer in ETH. I have 50.00 a week drafted to BTC. Think I should go straight to ETH with that instead? About to invest about 50K in ASML if you have any opinions on that. Yeah 83K with no downpayment would be extremely high for $30 an hour, but not 34k as you mentioned. My monthly $2100 mortgage and $600 truck payment are paid for, no worries there. My $30 an hour is investments and toys. My wife pays all the utilities so that's a bonus.

Just advice from another Veteran. I would be cautious with any financial advise offered anonymously on a pickup truck forum. I would do your own research, read financial publications from people with real credentials, and focus on the classic investment advice. Diverisify. Crypto is great for speculation, but anyone telling you they know which assets will appreciate fastest is just making stuff up.

Good luck and thank you for your service.
