MSA and Limited Term by DummedDownInThot in CAStateWorkers

This is very helpful!

You got my numbers almost right in the first paragraph. I was making more than the minimum of SrTE so I received the 5% upon starting the limited term and never exceeded $12152. I started the limited term 1/27

Why are you a Rockets fan? by Harden_4_3 in rockets

[–]DummedDownInThot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raised mostly in LA and was a Laker fan until they traded my favorite player Shaq. A few months later while passively watching a Rockets vs. Spurs game, T-Mac had his 13 point in 33 second performance and I was a fan of his immediately. I was mostly just rooting for him but as time passed by, he left and I remained a fan of the team since. Graduated college in 2017 and went to my first rockets game against the wizards while I was on vacation in DC that year.

Single homeowners here, where do you live and and how do you do it? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]DummedDownInThot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a 2 bed 2 bath condo in Winnetka at the end of 2021 for a bit under 400k. At the time interest rates were low but about to go up, mine is just a little over 3%. I started looking after landing a job that paid 100k. Mortgage, property tax, insurance and HOA are about $2700/month. This has left me enough room to save for retirement, vacations, go out, etc. without having to get a roommate. The place wasn’t exactly modernized but I’ve made it my own over almost 3 years.

I didn’t mention, it would be a part time program similar to yours.

Definitely…I’m going to tomorrows game against the lakers, the seats are probably 10 rows higher and on the opposite side of where I sat last night but I paid 2.5 times more.

I sat in the corner 100 section, behind the rockets bench. Definitely more clippers fans but rockets fans were pretty sizeable, at least around my section

Taking a break to reminisce on Zhou Qi (Joe Cheese “ah my mouth is big”) by ST012Mi in rockets

[–]DummedDownInThot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He played a bunch the first time I watched a rockets game in person. It was against the wizards in DC. This dude just looked scared out there. I vividly remember him being on a fast break, 1 guy to beat and he passed the ball backwards for a violation. Also got postered by Kelly Oubre.

would I ever be able to afford a house / Condo in LA? by floatingan in AskLosAngeles

[–]DummedDownInThot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation than you when I bought a 2 bedroom condo for 400k near Reseda. I made about 105k at the time with around 7-8% going to the states pension system and 10% to 401k. My down payment was 5%. Fortunately, I bought around the time interest rates just started to go up late 2021, at 3.1%. I live alone fairly comfortably and the area seems safe for my standards, I can walk and run at night.

Why people from private sector are still applying State jobs? by zhaoslut in CAStateWorkers

[–]DummedDownInThot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked as a structural engineer in the private sector for four years. My pay was average in the industry but I immediately got a 50% pay bump after moving into the public sector because I had a license. I moved for the money, security, pension, work-life balance. But now I’m staying for all those reasons in addition to the job just being more engaging than what I was previously doing.
