Is it Time to SELL QYLD? Going to ZERO?
Need a flooring where I can workout for my garage gym, but the flooring also needs to be able to handle being driven on since when not in use I park my car in there. Would horse stall mats work for this?
When the tape comes off seam does it leave the sticky glue behind to clean?
I’ve never had an residue left behind but on mine. Typically the tape wears off around the 2 year mark so I’ll pull it off if it isn’t peeling already and replace then. Didn’t notice gunk underneath though. Good question.
They provide no cushion for those who plan to workout on them. I’m returning mine going with something more forgiving on my joints.
Interesting point. I’m not sure how much cushion you would want though, if you add any more it would negatively impact your deadlifts, squats, etc… but it’s all opinion. Whatever works for you!
Looks matter to me too but differently,I didn't need "the top name" in fitness but did buy things unnecessarily just for looks..I bought a body solid rower and thought how cool some big ass recycled bumper weights would look on it,like a bat cycle lmao. I cant wait to see them on it..
This sounds epic!
I worked at a gym once upon a time and found that Murphy’s Oil Soap made them look like new and made them easier to clean. Also break parts cleaner gets the gum off especially if you really do work at a gym.
I’m going to buy some, great idea!
@@MMuniz - Clean it with a regular old school mop with just a little bit of oil soap to help the mop slide over it. Then come back with very little water and more oil soap after you already washed it. That will leave the film of oil soap. Then just mop with the oil soap after that. The oil soap builds up in the mat leaving a somewhat shiny finish that is not slick. I would hit the mats with a mop every other day but that would be after 100 people had used it. Gym membership increased because people liked the mats weren’t nasty looking.
Oh yeah I can imagine. I’ve been members to quite a few gyms and honestly the cleanliness was always a concern. It was kind of crazy to me. That’s pretty cool. I imagine you own your own box or did at one time?
@@MMuniz - I just needed a day job that kept me in shape and gave me a mental break from the book I was writing so I took a job at a gym. It was frustrating because they kept saying that they were losing money but working there I found out from the customers what the problems were and from the other employees. It was two large gyms that were the size of a shopping mall. Before long I had figured out how to make the whole thing work more smoothly and eliminate the major losses. I went to management to pitch them a deal to hire on as a consultant instead. They laughed at me and hired an expensive firm that charged them 10 times more than I was asking and they only told them half the information I found. I got disgusted and I quit. I left and started a construction business.
@@MMuniz - RUclips censors over half my comments so see if this makes it through
What do you think about the 1/2" version of the rubber mats from TSC instead of the 3/4" for wood floors? Not lifting 500 lbs anytime soon 😂
That’s a good question. I’ve always defaulted to 3/4 because of the 4x6 footprint and price but I don’t see why not. Especially if not dropping weights
Great video!
Thanks t blade!
Nice work, I reckon a functional trainer would do great.
Couple things... First: another option instead of "stall mat grips." are "panel carrier" handles. Same concept, but sometimes cheaper and more useful for other things as well (like moving plywood). Second: be careful folding or rolling up the mats. They can split/crack if you make too tight a bend. Oh, and 2x4s are rarely straight. Use an actual straight edge or a long level or snap a chalk line etc...
Chalk line im definitely a fan of, I didn’t even think of that! And wow, I’ve never heard of panel carrier handles but also a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Best thing I learned is buy all the mats you need at once and do same day delivery. Tractor Supply only charged me $70 to deliver 30 mats. Insanely good deal.
Now that’s a fantastic deal! 30 mats is quite a nice size… sounds like you will have quite the gym!
As much as they weigh, yes.
Im avtually in a apartment but living here for awhile. Wonderig if the stall mats will be fine smell wise.
If it’s a small apartment all on one floor I wouldn’t recommend the stall mats. Even after sitting for some Time there will still be a light odor that could be annoying if it’s in your living area.
I just got my mats this weekend from Tractor Supply. They had smooth 3x4’ mats, but it was cheaper to get the 4x6’ mats, but the 4x6’ mats have a “pebble” surface. I feel like the tape won’t stick nearly as well…so I’m going to try the method where you screw corners of the mats into the concrete and use a spacer ring to keep the screw from going all the way through the mat.
great knowledge!
Thank you!
Yep
We just got the active cash card, and after a few transactions, I didn't see any activity on the account. I checked the next day with the same results. I called WF and they told me that the transactions were there but pending. I said that is fine, but I would like to see that in my account. After 3 more operators, they sent me to tech support who explained that if I go to the transactions pending, and click on the plus sign next to it, my pending transactions worked. I felt like a dope at that point but was happy it was resolved. I just wish the first operator would have asked me to check that. Plus, the tech support was quite rude and I felt like she was mad at me. Thanks for the video!
Hahaha exactly the same experience I’ve had! Sometimes stuff just isn’t as easy as it might seem. But easy or not their customer service could do so much better to help us in times like that.
Would you recommend horse stall mats for carpet floors as well? Should I put plywood on top of the carpet first and then the rubber mats, or is just rubber mats enough?
Hmmm tbh if the gym is doing to be there a while, I would remove the carpet and put the mats on the subfloor. The mats will destroy the carpet overtime leaving black residue. Plus, below the carpet is the subfloor which is your plywood
I have the active cash, good card, I’m just maxed out right now so I can’t use it much
Ya it’s one of my favorite cards still, just easy to use and a great 2% return.
I am really getting scared about my M1 account that I opened based on your professional financial advice. They are forcing me to close my checking account plus they have been giving me 0% interest when they are getting 5.3%+ on the back side with my money. Can I get my most money back?
Hey Dave, not sure what you mean, I still use M1 and haven’t had any issues. I’m not familiar with their checking… I only use the investment platform. I’m not a professional financial advisor either fyi lol. I just give my opinions. If I’m looking for a place to keep cash I use a big bank (I use chase checking) but I keep most of my cash above monthly expenses in a mix of Ally HYSA and fidelity SPAXX core fund (5%)
can I put divo in my taxable acct or is it taxed like JEPI?
Taxed similar to JEPi. Very similar strategies. You can have it in a taxable account and it will have a portion of the dividends paid as qualified… but the rest, from options premiums - will be taxed as OI
What about the smell? How do you get the smell out?
Let them air out for a few days , sitting on 2x4s to let air go above and below them. This helps a ton. Then if needed use simple green to scrub them top and bottom. But honestly after they air out for a few days it goes away.
I just mop the floor every two weeks
Nothing wrong with this. I’ve got a mop Ready to go as well. Typically once in spring and once in autumn
What do you think about divo 15 years hold?
Love it. Haven’t sold a single share and continue to buy every month
@@MMuniz i just hope it can keep its price or steady increase
@@KillyWildlands it seems to be staying steady/ increasing over time. Plus with its strategy there is no cap on growth, since covered calls aren’t written on the entire portfolio. I wouldn’t put my life savings in it but I think it deserves a position in my personal portfolio.
Very helpful, thank you!! 🙂
No problem! You seemed like you had a good understanding before the video also haha
@@MMuniz I appreciate that. My thought is that when it comes to investing, it never hurts to learn the same things from different sources! There is just so much to try to figure out. 😳 Thanks again!
Groceries: I've been rocking the... AAA Daily Advantage (No Annual Fee) 5% cash back up to $10K spend per year + No Foreign Transaction Fee Visa Signature. That may interest you. I'm also glad you brought up the Best Buy card. Very underrated card with crazy earning potential.
Credit card rewards should not be delayed period. I will get my $200 for opening the account, and pay my bill and close the account.
Lol nothing wrong with this! Just ensure that there isn’t a 6 month limit or something where they will charge the rewards back. I don’t believe there are… but you never know.
Too much talking
😂
Thank you for the video this was the most informative for beginers, ill get the costco for gas and no foreign fee
No problem! Thank you for the nice compliment and enjoy!

Great video. Love SPAXX. No IBonds at this time.
SPAxx is king currently
zoom in zoom out too cute
😂😂
I purchased two 10k I-Bonds when the interest was 7.12%. This was followed by that 9.62% rate and then 6.48%. But that 4.30% is only for new bonds because part of that is a new .90% fixed rate that only applies to new bond purchases. I'm only making 3.38%. But when you consider that I'm making 6.65% over two years and no state and local taxes it's worth holding for now. If the new rate in November is horrible I'll wait three months and then cash out.
Very true and I should have clarified on the fixed rate more specifically about buying in now. If you got in at 7.12 you timed it perfectly! Thank you for sharing.
Thx for the great info! Hope things are going ok. 🙂
House is chaos as always lol, but other than that life is great, hope you are doing well also!
Bonds are complicated subject. Are they taxed, in federal or state?
Ok, I asked while watching the video. You did addressed it.
No problem! If used for education you can get away with no taxes 😎
First!
My guy!
Chase freedom flex is 5 percent on gas July 1- September 30 if you activate
Yep already on it!!!
Just picked up more MOAT, JEPQ, CSX.
I’ve been buying a tiny bit of JEPi/JEPQ in a tax advantaged account, it’s just a slice of my m1 pie
done with home gym. been going to planet fitness . Cost is high for my home gym. Treadmill warranty is 170 a year.
also it takes repairmen a week to come out and he only fixes the minimum so your always running on a half fixed machine
I feel like with your name cbfitrunner you probably put a ton of time on the treadmill so this makes sense. Probably would get way more wear and tear from you vs someone like me who runs on occasion.
My favorite cards right now: Amex Blue Cash preferred, Bilt World MasterCard, Verizon Visa Signature and NFCU Flagship Visa for 2% catch all card.
My dad is #1 fan of Verizon visa signature lol! Bilt I’ve heard great things but haven’t researched myself. Going to look into it now. Thanks for sharing!
Amex Blue Cash Preferred is phenomenal and very underrated. The card codes 6% with Apple services payment fantastic
One of my favorites as well, didn’t know this. Thank you for sharing!
Love your thought process, that dad life really makes you think about things from different angles! New sub here!
Thanks chad! Looking forward to checking out your content as well. Very interested in the airlines card titled one as I’m leaning towards getting one end of year but am not 100% sure yet.
@@MMuniz thanks! And BTW HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
I’m team cashback! Love the video!
Heck ya! Thank you!!
I can’t believe you betrayed me twice in this video…
😂😂😂. Never betrayed. Proud of my bro in law
Great cards! I’m team travel but is always a good idea to have $0 annual fee cash back cards as a backup in case your priorities change. Great video and information! 🫡🇵🇷
Thanks for the compliments 😎. I’m looking forward to moving back to team travel in a few years, but for now I just can’t make it work. Luckily there are credit cards for everyone👍🏼
Yo Cesar I just found this channel and your right the info is solid!
