re: Do you keep a second or third vehicle? How much are you paying for INS?

Of course there is. You put a random vehicle in your LLC’s name for a non-business purpose.
You do you. Personally, I keep business and personal strictly separate in case of a lawsuit or if the tax man comes knocking.

ATT. Cell backup scares me because reception in my house isn’t amazing. I’d have to mount something outside or maybe near a window.

I've been considering Mint 5G home internet as a backup option.
Does their device have an ethernet port that I could connect to existing equipment? I can't tell from their website.

I have 1 gig up and down, but I wouldn't need that in a backup situation. 50-100 Mb would be just fine. I'll check out Google. Thanks.
I also looked at Starlink. It's gotten cheaper. There's a $55 monthly option. I really don't want anything mounted to my house though.
This might be the best option for the least amount of hardware. I'd just have to add a line to my phone plan, I think.

have you considered doing starlink or something along those lines? it could be a good solution for travel and you can set it up at home to be a backup..not sure if there are tiers where you pay by data use but if so that might be a good solution as you wouldn't be paying full price unless you had to fail-over to it.
I've considered it, but I just can't justify the cost. Like I said, ATT has been ultra reliable for me. I just want a cheap backup option, like that $30 Cox cable option. Cell phones work fine while travelling, so that isn't important to me.

I'm considering adding a second internet connection to configure as a failover option on my Ubiquiti gear. I know Cox used to offer a really cheap monthly option, but now it appears limited to poor people or veterans.
I'd like a cheap option. My ATT Fiber has actually never gone down, but I work from home and wouldn't mind a backup. Any recommendations?

I'm planning to do that also. It's really just to avoid unnecessary risk of sedation, even though I know it's a very minor risk.

Just speculation, I think.

re: Why does Baton Rouge have such poor public golf courses?

Nothing, just reinforcing that we don’t have many courses.

You can play golf for pretty cheap. I see guys all the time with hand me down clubs and cheap balls, but they’re still enjoying themselves.
It’s like anything else. You can spend as much as you want.

I'm not a fan of writing a check of that magnitude to pay off a loan with a 3.75 interest rate. But I'm open to listening if you can imagine a scenario where it may be beneficial to pay it off.
I lean the same way, but I also think it could be nice to pay it off, which would enable you to seriously reduce your monthly income. That might allow more room for Roth conversions.
