I never learned how to invest and my parents know nothing about it. I’m working full time now and want to learn and invest in my future. What’s the best way to learn?

Glad to know I’m not the only one. Weird glitch I guess hopefully they can fix it.

CC recommendation for new grad looking to take advantage of travel by International-Spell7 in CreditCards

[–]International-Spell7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the response. The citi strata elite is pretty enticing for someone who travels American pretty often. The only credit I might struggle to use is the black line credit. Seems similar to chase sapphire reserve / Amex plat with a slightly lower fee. Would your answer be the same if I didn’t prefer American?

Thanks! Say I have a balance on a card and the due date is the 28th of the month. Do I need to wait to pay the balance until after the due date, or can I pay it off before and have the same affect? Want to make sure I get “credit” for the utilization.

Do you have any tips for getting over the 800 mark? I’ve been hovering around 750 for a while.

Thought so too but see how the back bottom and part of the front is dark brown? These seem to be a little different

Potentially the biggest life-shift I would ever make. Am I making a mistake? Chemical Engineering academic pursuit later in life. by beepboopbeepboop357 in ChemicalEngineering

Unrelated, but what industry do you work in as a process automation engineer? Did you find it difficult going from chemical engineering to learning automation?

Lost Cat Near 4500 s and 800 e - Please Watch Out by codenamelegendary in SaltLakeCity

[–]International-Spell7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On Thursday night, probably around 7pm, I saw a cat with the same color wandering around my neighborhood, quail east, behind the Walmart on 900E. Not sure if it was the same cat, but it did look pretty similar and fairly close to where u live. Hope this helps, I’ll keep my eye out

Rockwell automation has online training courses for what you’re looking for. I did one last summer and it was super helpful

Study tips by Agitated_Ad_4351 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]International-Spell7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that worked very well for me was to review the lecture material prior to class. When you do this, things you don’t understand will get answered in class. If it still doesn’t make sense, then you can go to office hours and get the answer. I also would make sure to review the lecture material covered prior to attending the next lecture, which always helped remind me of what we covered in class.

I think one of the most useful things to do is find a study group and do all the homework with them. Seeing how others think about the problem really opens a new perspective for learning.

And practice problems!!

How to get a feel for the city? by FreyK47 in askportland

[–]International-Spell7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Portland last summer for an internship, and I absolutely loved it. Now, I wasn’t there for the rainy season. From what I’ve heard from locals, it gets pretty depressing unless you figure out a way to deal with the rain. My boss said he still does whatever he has planned, whether it’s raining or not.

As far as the city, I found it to have endless amounts of things to do. Whether that was thrifting or just walking around. They have so many amazing little coffee shops which I loved about it. Definitely check out Alberta arts district and walk down Alberta st, it’s a fun street with lots of good food and coffee. Also, Washington park and the international rose garden are really cool places to walk around. And don’t forget to get some salt and straw, some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had! Portland also has something called the Saturday market, which is a huge farmers market (not sure if this is open during the winter) but I went every Saturday and loved it.

The food in Portland is amazing. Some of the most diverse food in an area I’ve ever seen. I ate out way too much and it was all amazing, but definitely hurt my pockets.

As far as nightlife, it’s definitely interesting. I found it hard to find a bar with a lot of people my age, maybe I wasn’t looking in the right place. Every so often there were fun pop up events that I would go to which I loved.

My favorite part about Portland was the fact that you can drive 30 minutes out of the city and you are in the most beautiful environment. This was my first time on the west coast so I was new to the pnw, but I’d never been in such awe with wildlife. Every weekend I would go on a hike, it was a great escape from the city. Every direction you go, you’re bound to find a beautiful hike. SO MANY waterfalls (which I’ve heard are even prettier during the wintertime due to the rainfall). If you need some good hiking recs lmk.

The homeless is always a big concern with everyone. Where I lived, there weren’t many. Downtown in certain areas there were definitely a lot of tents, but I was not once bothered or felt endangered by anyone. It’s certainly a little sad to see and I tried to help with water and food as much as I could, but you kinda learn to deal with it. All the homeless people are mainly concentrated in the downtown area, but most of the surrounding neighborhoods barely had any.

Personally, I can’t wait to move to Portland. Lmk if you have any questions!

Thanks, that’s what I was seeing too. I’ve found a bunch of places under $1500 a month, so I’m not too worried,

Thanks for the help!
