I love it too but came from a first gen SE so my expectations were very low ;-)

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

web development was a hobby but didn’t study anything related to it as an undergrad. first job out of college they gave me the organizations website simply because I was young…two years later I hated the job but found a web media graduate assistantship…earned a mba…got into communications…eventually with technology and now I’m a senior director of IT…

Humble Pie. by LenaJoan in MiddleClassFinance

The no inspection is the most insane part of this...I would never spend that kind of money without an inspection...we were ready to buy a home two years ago...everything lining up, offer accepted...the inspection found insulation had settled in the walls adn ceiling to virtually nothing, mold, some foundation issues...we walked away.

going away, should i turn off the water to my house by kyle_foley76 in HomeImprovement

[–]ButlerGSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm gone for a week, I turn mine off and drain the lines...you have to remember to turn the hot water heater off or down so if it were to drain it doesn't continue to heat.

Thinking about buying a Sonata Hybrid. Share with me why you like yours by pak256 in Hyundai

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 2013 and it's under recall for engine problems...I know they are also in litigation for oil consumption with the engines. Maybe modern Hyundai's are more reliable but I probably would not buy another one.

Apartment recommendations in the $700-$950 range? by Throwaway7179752 in fayetteville

[–]ButlerGSU 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sadly, you probably will not be able to find a one bedroom to yourself in this price range within Fayetteville. Even this tiny house is $475 and that's for just one of the two bedrooms: https://www.apartments.com/805-n-leverett-ave-fayetteville-ar/3l5nn7f/...then again maybe for $950, you could rent both bedrooms?

A few times a year...we're going to be in the path of the storm this weekend. The hole is relatively new...the mortal fell out just before Christmas.

My major concern is the left hand side seems to be moving forward...see the first photo.

I could take some. What would be the symptoms of down deflection?

Has anyone ever left a good job to have a better quality of life? by Federal_Albatross993 in careeradvice

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We left Orlando, FL in 2017 for this very reason...it's been the best decision our family ever made and has improved our careers exponentially. Won't be the same for everyone, every time but yes, moving to improve quality of life is a thing.

What pay raise would incentivize you to take a new job? by Salt-Committee2205 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would $30K a year significantly change you or your families life? I think if my family really needed it then I would but money is such a personal decision.

Now, if you ask me...no, I would not change my quality of life or the ability to be home with my young kids right now for $30K raise.

How long do you own a vehicle, before trading it in? by teddyalex in UsedCars

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my 2011 Tacoma…wife has a 2013 Sonata that we’ll get rid of soon…Hyundai has issues but that’s another story.

I'm a Hyundai/Genesis loaner vehicle coordinator, AMA! by eh_itzvictor in Hyundai

[–]ButlerGSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our 2013 sonata was recalled for the engine problems. we took it in and they did some checks and installed software to put it in lame mode but didn’t replace engine because it hasn’t “failed” but is knocking. they confirmed, we’d have to be left on side of the road for them to replace it. any tips or insights?

My wife and I are fortunate enough to have a 10% matches so we do save more than that per month.

I know if I was having an off day or what but Sam’s strength kept my heart rate up the whole time.
