2 phone gang. Had 1 phone at my old gig and not having the ability to disconnect sucked.

Your call. I took the extra phone because I’m still at the age where I could drunk pocket dial someone important at a random night on a weekend.

Situational and personal dependent. Beyond the money that was mentioned, many PE firms have strict compliance rules due to SEC and other regulatory concerns.

So if you have one phone, just make sure you are not going to be embarrassed 🙈 if your phone is subpoenaed or something (might be too much, but you never know)

The second phone is super clutch. I couldn’t ever imagine going back.

Plus, if one dies you always have the other one!

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
