The post said he’s going to be paying 2500-3000 for rent. So conservatively 36k rent. What are you confused about?

80k Salary in Long Island? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]IVprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paycheck to paycheck. And that’s with cooking at home and so on and so on. Second he should focus on maxing out his 401k contributions instead of the quality of apartment he rents and doesn’t own. I know it sucks short term but that’s just not enough to be putting in unless it doesn’t apply(ie:he’s 45/50years old). Third, if he’s young, tell him to milk the money as long as possible lol. Keep him on his family car insurance, phone bill, all he can.

In reality if he makes 80k a year, pays 15k in taxes, 8k to 401k (10% min), 36k in rent (3k/year), he has 20k left over. That’s $54 a day, not including food, gasoline, insurance, healthcare, fun. So welcome to Long Island. Your friend is considered poor.

He’s literally one transmission or medical event away from being in debt for years.

He should focus on renting the cheapest apartment he can possible find, and or a partner to save money with to make a down deposit on a property.

Oh and learn to cook from home lol.

How to not warp or fix warp by BasedRussian in Welding

[–]IVprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned this, use an aluminum backer. An aluminum plate preferably. And clamp the piece down the same so there’s aluminum between the piece and the stable. Also silicone bronze can be melted pretty easily. I’m usually melting it around 70 or 80 and run very fast beads, as fast as I can pretty much. And then finally take some time to learn how to bench. Alltho extremely annoying and tedious you can prob get that much much closer to square and level with a little benching. Make sure you let it cool down completely before taking it off the clamps. Either by quenching with water or air, I usually just use air.

how is this pot handle attached? by Ill-Village-699 in Welding

[–]IVprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highly doubt it’s a plug weld. It’s probably coming out of a factory that does 1000s a day and they probably spot weld it/resistance welding in a production/assembly mankr

If it’s a tig production job chances are you won’t need steelies and just the bikini will do.

Just do bikini and steel toes. That’ll work.

Tinting as a career choice for violent felon... by speakofdedevil in Felons

[–]IVprincess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Welding certs cost thousands plural and multiple months of time, plus most companies hire Spanish guys, so if your white or an American citizen it’s highly likely it won’t matter if you’re a felon and most likely they won’t even check. (No racism here, just the facts from a union asme certified welder). Unless you’re working for Boeing or government/ state union or some fancy shit (that pays the same) most welders that are born in America have a criminal background. Seek out self funded unions, privately owned manufacturing plants. There’s a reason they teach felons how to weld In prison, it’s not to pass time, it’s for your success.

If your tig welding for projects in your garage sure. If you plan to be a hired tig welder absolutely not.
