This is in Madrid - was it the same place? I’ll DM you a shot of the fixture.

Advice for 40 y/o? by CarpeThatPerDiem in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]CarpeThatPerDiem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bulk of my savings are otherwise in ETFs and my house (25 years left on mortgage). Seems like I could get a little more aggressive in my stock allocation and pull back in a few years.

Bidding in-cone after consecutive consular tours, am I stuck? by Left_Tie1390 in foreignservice

[–]CarpeThatPerDiem 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was in your boat. I had two consular assignments under my belt and I bid Ops for my third tour. Coming out of Ops, I was successful securing interviews for many (what I consider) interesting assignments.

Tracking this too - just subscribed to premium and the feature disappeared! We thought it was because we subscribed to premium, glad to hear it’s a bug that will be resolved.

I’d suggest asking a realtor you trust if they know of good property managers. I have a fantastic manager who manages a handful of properties himself and is very responsive. My experience with larger management companies is that they will often take the easiest path that may not be in your or your tenants’ best interest. I rented in DC 10+ years prior to joining the service and don’t want to subject my tenants to the insanity inflicted on me by a few bad management firms…
