You know the guy I was talking about that had an STX prepped Tacoma? Well he and his wife run an AC business in GA and they did my last AC when we sold our rental house up there back in 2019, so I trust them.
I went through the high low readings with them, they immediately said if it's a carrier, it's the coils, and at 12 years old, not worth replacing, because it's a $4k job. If the compressor goes in a year, you might as well have just replaced it.
And they said avoid the 2 stage Lenox system. They're super unreliable. They said get the cheap Goodman, all the AC company's use the exact same components. The difference is all down to install and how much warranty you want.
So I feel better about it. I'll just suck it up and shell out the $10k, plus the roof. There goes my modding and vacation funds for the year, but hey being an adult home owner is fun.

Yeah, that does suck, I won't have to take on debt, just ruins our plans for the rest of the year.
All cozy in our bed, got our portable ac that we bought for hurricane season cranked up.

Fuck me dude. Not ready for this homeowner shit.
10k is more than both my car's value.

All jokes aside, I dream of building my house one day with some friends. Learn most of the skills necessary and outsource when something's out of my league. Two brothers did it on one of the streets next to me. Not only is it a sick house, I can only imagine how fulfilling it must have been. I also like the idea of being in control when doing something (I don't cut corners).
So you're paying for most of it right? if so, bruh.
Is the degree going to be a proper long term investment? Meaning, will she be making good cheddar after getting the piece of paper?
With most of my life ahead of me, I'm trying to pick up on things from others older than me. So I got a question. Separate bank accounts between me and future Mrs.Aspro forever?

Dude, the roof is $18k.

If it hurts any less, I typed 19 instead of 18, so that's a grand for blow and hookers.

The tiguan does the light duty stuff, but is mainly a glorified minivan. If I has anything more serious than that, I bust out this guy.
