Right! The only problem is my wife is threatening to take over my record rooms so that we can store barrels of that free oil!

Tell your wife to get lost! As if she doesn’t understand that records are so precious to you! They’re your everything! 💡♥️🧸

Wait a minute....you’re being sarcastic aren’t you!! 🤪🤪🙉

Yeah, it’s a retirement account but YOLO! I want to live my best life while I’m young, not when I’m old. I don’t care if I don’t have anything when I’m 70 years old. I’ll be able to do less and won’t be as attractive too when I’m that age 🤷‍♂️

And who knows, maybe something crazy thing like this will happen in 30 years time and everyone will lose their retirement accounts!

And if I don’t have much money to survive when I’m 70 years old, the government can help me put food on the table and I’ll have all my lovely records to enjoy! That will be like the worse case scenario! So, I think it’s smart to take advantage and take out $10,000 from my superannuation account :)

SMH. You know you need to pay back Superannuation, right?
Also, you're not planning on retiring until your 70? Freedom 45 is where it's at.

You don’t pay back superannuation! It’s something you earn with your pay check! 👍

I would love to retire at 45 years old, but would rather live a fun life when I’m up to like 40 years old! Also, I’ll definitely look much older when I’m 45 too 😖🥀

And I’ll try and find a job I love when I’m in my 30’s! I wouldn’t mind working at all when I’m 45 years old+! Just as long as I’m living such a great food life and am enjoying my records, and am working 3-4 days a week instead of 5 days a week! 😊

I understand Superannuation is a benefit, but if you don't pay it back you either receive less of a pension when you retire, or won't be eligible to retire until you're older. Taking $10k now @ 25 (I'm guessing on your age) and not repaying it, will result in ~$32k less @ 65. (Rule of 72 estimate, use a calculator if you want the exact amount.)

What's wrong with looking older at 45? You're suppose to. There are many things more attractive than physical looks. Tbh, a focus on physical looks is a very unattractive quality.

Oh, I won't retire at 45 - I love my job as a teacher - but I'll be glad to have my house paid off and be dept free in a couple years, so I can travel more, and help my kids pay for university. But it's your life Nathan, do what makes you happy.

Wise words. First thing I was told in teaching college was ‘Never let anyone touch your pension’.

I was excited when I saw this exclusive... and then I realized I didn't have a shipping notice yet.
Check my account - not shipped.
Emailed in... no response 3 days later.
Looked at the exclusives on the Gents website... Why would I even consider this version?

Another day, another time VMP just shot themselves in the foot by being consistently inconsistent.
 
Has there been any word about the pressing/mastering details of the upcoming White Stripes- De Stijl release? Sounds like the 2010 reissue was AAA so I’m considering just grabbing that instead of signing up for another 3 months for the VMP release. They are advertising Bella Donna as AAA but no mention of that for De Stijl that I can see.

20% off coupon and free shipping. Makes it the best version IMO.

I sent VMP an email on 4/13 about three warped records I got from them. I have yet to receive a follow up email, so should I reach back out? I know some people have better luck reaching out on different platforms?!

I would hold tight. unless you wanna hit them up through another means, from what I have heard they a behind due to Covid and if you send additional Emails all your emails end up together as it bumps you to the back of the queue. I would consider maybe reaching out on Social Media if you are a bit anxious. You may get a quicker reply that way.
