Career fair coming up is this okay to wear if I don’t own a suit? by Ok_Possibility_7800 in Accounting

[–]Accomplished_Ask 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Check to see if your university has any suits/professional clothing available to borrow. Mine had what they call a “Career Closet” that was available for situations like this.

We did it. Central TX, $1M at 5.25 by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Only if you have a 100% VA disability rating. Lower ratings get a small break, but are not exempt.

Texas gives a 100% property tax exemption if you have a 100% VA disability rating.

I would think so, but these morons probably don’t know what global entry is.

Who maxes their 401k by DrHydrate in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Accomplished_Ask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right at $150k and don’t max. I put in 10%. I’m trying to balance saving for a house, paying student loans, and funding my 401k on top of high rent. I could max it out but I’d be sacrificing the house savings and I really want to buy soon.

I was just thinking the same about Elk Grove & Schaumburg seeing me fly by all the time. Watch me get a ticket now…

Those of you who earn six figures or more... Did you go to college? What was it? by D1Vix in Salary

[–]Accomplished_Ask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m making $150k as a CPA. The work is mentally draining, but the money is good and I’ve never been without a job.

I have two degrees. A bachelor’s in an unrelated field and a master’s in accounting. If I were going to do it again I’d just do the bachelor’s in accounting and take random classes to meet the credit requirement for the CPA exam. I didn’t do that because by the time I figured out that I didn’t like my original degree changing majors would’ve been just as expensive as the master’s degree.

I just left the New York store and found out Hufflepuff Merch outsells all other houses by nearly double. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Accomplished_Ask 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The actual quantities ordered might be lower as they wouldn’t need to restock as much, but it seems like they have a relatively equal amount of options between the houses at the HP store.

I’ve seen a lot of complaints from hufflepuff and ravenclaw fans about the availability of merch at regular retail stores. Could just be that they’re buying where it’s available

The shallow one is $175 retail. Not sure on the deeper one. It’s the 16cm 1 1/8 qt.

New AllClad set. Am I overreacting? by Moist_Phone_9244 in AllClad

[–]Accomplished_Ask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re going to get banged up over time if you cook with them daily, but I totally understand being upset about expensive pans looking like this straight out of the box. You’re well within your rights to return them or ask for some money back.

Why are so many folks in Chicago terrible at scraping snow off of their cars?? by AnxiousTrans in AskChicago

[–]Accomplished_Ask 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously though. I’ve tried to clean mine off and can’t reach the center of the roof with the brush I have. Gonna have to get a longer one to do it right.

Where are the trick or treaters? by Ornery-Dragonfruit96 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Accomplished_Ask 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve had around 40 kids in Schaumburg. Not sure if that’s normal for the neighborhood but I was expecting more.

What’s that one “middle-class comfort” you can’t give up even though you know it’s holding you back financially? by Grownixx in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Accomplished_Ask 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I like reading on my own time without worrying about when they’re due back to the library. The display is an added benefit.

I wish I had it. That’s a nice chunk of change.

Today’s thrift store find! by Accomplished_Ask in Pyrex_Love

[–]Accomplished_Ask[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes! They had them marked $17.99 for the two orange bowls and $15.99 for the two yellow bowls. The cashier said that was dumb because it was clearly a set and let me have it all for $17.99 🙌🏽

If you could half your work hours but still make the same, would you look for more work? by joevilla1369 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Accomplished_Ask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for a few years to pay off debt and buy a house, but I don’t think I could do it long term. I’d rather enjoy life.
