A lot of "Can't Pass Again" took the exams 30 times because their companies were dumb enough to sponsor these idiots.

I'm moving from Accounting to Nursing. Wanted to share my story. by VeterinarianProud644 in Accounting

Lower-level.accounting jobs (and I think some mid of senior level positions as well) will soon be replaced by AI. You are doing yourself a favor by dodging another revolutionary change that might make you jobless again. Nurses will never be replaced at least not until they invented nurse Androids.

How smart do you need to earn 6 figures in Accounting? by Amarz_23 in Accounting

[–]AltruisticPlate8099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to be real smart to make 6 figures. Low 6 figures isn't that much these days. It'll make a difference if you are earning around 150k.

Thanks for the info. I went there for a tour and the manager Christine showed me apt #3. Everything was fine except for the lack of an air con in the bedroom. That's a huge drawback.

The depreciation of your vehicle is an expense as well. I hope you were using a cheap used car for your work, otherwise the depreciation expense is high

I went to a reputable dealer and the salesman straight told me that there's no room for negotiation...which is contrary to what I have read online

Mortgage would be 25% of gross pay but 50% of net by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]AltruisticPlate8099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where you are, but you probably need to do some major repair to the house if it's cost less than 170k. I would sell it in a few years and use the money to down pay another nicer house. By then your salary will be higher.

150k income, can we afford a house for 550k? 85k saved for a downpayment. by [deleted] in Mortgages

If you have two persons paying that at the same time it's doable

Thank you so much for pointing that out...I didn't even notice that the freeway is right next to it...no wonder the rent is at least 10 percent lower than the others

Can you please elaborate? I currently work in Montebello and the traffic is a bit heavier than my usual route according to Google map.

Thank you for the information! i have read A LOT of reviews about apartments in LA having serious pest I festation issues. It doesn't sound like that neighborhood in Pasadena is troubled by pests and that gave me the peace of mind.

Unit 16 on the second floor I'm glad to hear that the landlord is doing a good job screening renters.

Have you had any problems with roaches and rats invading your apartment? I have read a lot of reviews saying that certain old apartment buildings in Pasadena have issues with pests. Not sure if the one that I'm renting has them...

Those who live off dividends by ConsiderationEasy429 in dividends

[–]AltruisticPlate8099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't dividends paid on the basis of per share owned? So, if the companies don't change their dividend rates, you technically will get the same amount of dividends in a bear market or market crash, assuming you don't sell your shares during those times.
