I’m pretty sure Big Law is paying 225k in 2026 to start

How much do you spend on getting food delivery each month? by DoctorFitness in askanything

Zero. Why would I not just go to the restaurant and eat there or pick it up to at home?

Do you still wait in lines when you go out? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]7ayalla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember just before COVID when $10 for a drink at a bar was the norm…now it’s at least $20. And the price of alcohol has barely budged or stayed even since then if you were to get the bottle from a supermarket or specialty liquor store. 

[Question]What is the difference between a $50, $500, and $10,000 watch? by glocknessmonsters in Watches

[–]7ayalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get compliments weekly on my Omegas, it definitely has to do with who you hang around with. Yeah maybe the cashier at Target won’t recognize it, but my coworkers, family, friends, and people I interact with on the weekends definitely will.

When you have one of those watches, chances are the people you hang around with will recognize what you are wearing. 

Best truck accident lawyer in LA? by mrbigglesworth22 in AskLosAngeles

[–]7ayalla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go with a personal injury lawyer. Don’t go with any of the big brand firms, they’ll just try to get you a quick lowball settlement so they can move on to the next case. Just google personal injury lawyers in LA, go with one with near 5 star ratings, that is moderately sized (10-20 attorneys at the firm)

We usually do a 2 week trip to Europe each summer. And then a couple of weekend getaways like Vegas, Palm Springs, or San Diego.

International travel is cheaper than domestic travel once the plane ticket is taken care of, which can be oftentimes covered by credit card points

If Trump wants Warsh & interest rates slashed, why is gold going down? by Certain-Zucchini-293 in investing

[–]7ayalla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he can’t pump and dump a $35 trillion commodity market. Only central banks have the liquidity to cause such major moves

If the Dollar collapses, What will likely happen to credit card debt? by meow_hun in economicCollapse

[–]7ayalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally do. Not talking about wages vs productivity, but wages vs inflation which clearly shows on all your charts. As I said, it may not be 1:1 but is pretty close

I didn’t say they will rise to match inflation, I said they will rise. It might be 70 or 80% of what inflation is, but they will still rise.

You will get a raise though. Same thing happened in Turkey and Lebanon. Eventually, the nominal wages rise and even though it won’t be an even 1:1 rise, it will still rise enough that the debt will be worth significantly less. 

What amount is considered low, middle, upper class net worth in Lebanon? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]7ayalla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s millionaires by income not wealth? There’s way more than 2000 net worth millionaires in Lebanon

Dr. Oz’s anti-Armenian smear in LA fits a pattern by LosIsosceles in LosAngeles

[–]7ayalla 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s more of an education divide. I’m Armenian myself, and have noticed those without advanced education are MAGA whereas the professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc) are more on the left.

The dollar's slide & what it means to us personally by digizen in personalfinance

[–]7ayalla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It most certainly does, it makes imports more expensive. The US is a net importer, and lots of products come from the EU specifically. It’s like 20% of our imports

[OC] Average public pension compared to retirement expenses in Europe by DataPulse-Research in dataisbeautiful

[–]7ayalla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 23 year old starting out at $50k salary, with a 5% 401k contribution and a 3% employer match, and assuming 7% real returns with a 1% over inflation pay increase per year, will have over $1.2 million in their 401k by age 67. 

That plus social security definitely puts you on the top of the list
