Macallan 18
Tried to buy another bottle of Mac 25 today ($2k), but none to be had, and no 21, so I settled for an 18 year for $360.
Still fantastic taste, but way more bite than the 21 or 25. I'm definitely hooked on the uber expensive stuff. :datawiz: It's all Scott's fault. :lol: |
I haven't drank enough scotch to be a connoisseur. :shrug: I do enjoy a good bourbon though.
:cheers: |

21 year Mac seems to be the sweet spot. Would like to find more of that. Probably 700-800 these days, but not 2k. |
That's too rich for me. :funnier:
|
I'll stick to Jack Daniels and Canadian whiskey.:cert:

and i fuss over spending $50 on a new watch.... thankfully, Mrs. DAB is good with $5/bottle wine. :datawiz: |
18 is much better with ice. :yesnod::datawiz:

I'll pour some Crown over rocks later this evening. :yesnod:

I just texted one of my club members to have her friend come pick up over 300 pounds of aluminum cans so she can take them to the recycle center and get some cash. That used to be fun, but now it's a pain in the ass. Certainly not worth my time. If someone, who really wants and needs the cash, they can stop by my house quarterly and get 150#'s of cans. :yesnod: I just don't want to put them at the street. I'd rather someone enjoy the cash that they bring to them. |
saw a Dave Ramsey video earlier, and he had a study that found that the most significant contributor to having money in retirement was that you saved money early and often. not the rate of return, not what kind of fund you put your money into.
so i did some math (don't worry, it's not that painful). example 1, salary of 80k, 30 years of saving/investing, set aside 15% (12k), assume 6% annual return (quite doable, moderate risk needed), you'd end up with $1,017,620 example 2, salary of 80k, 30 years of saving/investing, set aside 5% (4k), because you want to live larger, assume 12% annual return (hard to do long term, lot of risk to be taken on), you'd end up with $1,085,170 i'll stick with option 1 Alex, not that hard to live a little simpler for peace of mind and options later. end of math... :DAB: |

I turned a corner in 2014 when I got slapped up the side of my face and I was a dinosaur. Honestly, I had no clue how to get my next job. Since then, I've reinvented myself in the cloud software business and I'm relevant again. My earnings in these following 15 years will dwarf the amount my wife has amassed in her account. :yesnod: And again....we have a mortgage on a house with 300k equity, and just Patty's Subaru car loan. 3 of my 4 credit cards have negative balances at the moment. I'm definitely in the savings and investing mode for sure, but my ability to build pure cash wealth is still in full swing. |

I haven’t had Macallan 25, but this is damn good. :seasix:

We'll have a hell of a party with quality scotch. :datawiz: |
I've grown attached to Four Roses small batch. Angels Envy is my fall back. I'll leave the high-end stuff to you connoisseurs.

long ago i thought i'd work for the same place for 25+ years.....the nuclear power industry didn't pan out the way I had hoped. hope you are setting aside some each pay day. your friends might give you a nice bottle of booze now and then, but they won't pay your nut when you get old. |

I was in Scotland several years ago for work. Tasted lots of Scotch with a local coworker. I asked him “If you could only have one Scotch what would it be?” After thinking about it he said Highland Park. Not a traditional Scottish name, but very good. The 25 YO is amazing. |

I will always have nice cars. Hell, I told my wife I could go buy a brand new Lamborghini today and it would have no dent on the finances, but I'm not mentally in that place anymore. I will have 1 Corvette at a time, and when it's paid for, I'll buy another. I will have a collection...GWiz will inherit it. I don't do debt anymore. |
