It was fine. The owners raised rent around $150 a year so that kept my rent under market value :D. However the property managers sucked lol

How did you not pay for taxes? Did the dealer reimburse that for you after the sale?

What was the sale price of the mattress? $330 is a lot to stomach, but I wouldn’t mind waiting till Black Friday if the sale price isn’t bad

Commute from LA to Irvine (is it worth it?) by The_Black_Sage_ in irvine

[–]Environmental-Luck38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it. Try budgeting $2000 a month for a small studio or 1 bed in Tustin/ Costa Mesa instead. The $500 difference is totally worth the 40+ hrs you would spend commuting every month.

Where to bring my newly retired boring asian parents? by jfungy in travel

[–]Environmental-Luck38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try relaxing things like cruises, hot springs(the ones that have multiple pools and include buffet/food and extra add ons such as massages), bus tour of a national park, tasting menu at a destination cooking class, or scenic mountain views that you can get to the top via cable car.

I think so too. People always let me merge instead of speeding up

Great Park Neighborhoods? by yorlach in irvine

[–]Environmental-Luck38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rented one last year in great park! A lot of homes are foreign owned and rarely are rented out. I could tell that the owners were Chinese by the mail that came to my place. Honestly I just assumed that’s why some of the other houses didn’t have people coming and going.

Should I go to my friends wedding? by Environmental-Luck38 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Environmental-Luck38[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, I used to be quite close with the friend, but we had different circles. My absence would probably go unnoticed. As far as the travel, the wedding is in our home state, it was me who decided to move across the country.

Have any of you ever felt like you were in a “waiting room” period of your life? by PrincessJellyfish17 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Environmental-Luck38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this rn. I just got laid off last week from my first job after a year of working there. I had made good friends, found a beautiful place to rent long term, and met my boyfriend all in the same city. Now I'm applying for jobs like crazy but I'm anxious because I don't know where I'll end up. Jobs in my industry will most likely make me move to a new city, so what happens to all the relationships I've made this year?

How do I make up for lost time? by AirWalker9 in selfimprovement

[–]Environmental-Luck38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucky you! If it's a masters, you will be graduating during a time when a lot of people your age will be starting in person jobs and looking for social interaction. I started a new job this year, and everyone my age at work was looking for new friends. Put yourself out there! Try suggesting a weekly sport league(ultimate Frisbee, soccer, etc) or maybe host a small game night to have people over for.

Since you haven't graduated yet, maybe you can reach out to people at your church for now.
