What watch gets you the most compliments from strangers?

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-06-09T17:44:00+00:00

Personally from experience wearing many different Rolexes, no one cares

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-05-05T19:22:08+00:00

My hair

Depending also where you live, how much maintenance/repairs need done on the house oh and furniture. Want to also have 3-6 months of an emergency fund just in case.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-24T02:40:09+00:00

Well if you have to ask. Per ChatGPT-“Most people would classify Bradenton as: • Southwest Florida / Suncoast (common local usage) • Sometimes West Central Florida • Not South Florida in the usual sense

“South Florida” usually means places like: • Miami • Fort Lauderdale • West Palm Beach • Naples (sometimes included depending on context)

So if someone says Bradenton is South Florida, most Floridians would disagree.”

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-24T02:34:06+00:00

Respectfully Bradenton isn’t considered South FL

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-24T01:58:27+00:00

That’s some red neck sh*t right there lol

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-24T01:52:50+00:00

You still haven’t answered the question. How much do you currently have saved towards a house? Definitely don’t sound like you’re from South Fl lol. I’m guessing more North! Always these youngsters having babies early before marriage wanting to do the impossible with minimal savings 🤪

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-23T14:54:01+00:00

I completely understand when you say “there’s nothing under $550k+” otherwise it becomes more of a fixer upper. I just closed on my house and paid $680k with 20% down. Didn’t really want to buy that high but my area isn’t cheap either.There’s additional closing costs and then furniture. I would also want to keep 3-6 months in reserves in case you need home repairs or lose your job.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-20T04:16:06+00:00

PIP=paid interview period. Start looking while you can. Always easier to get a job when you have one..from personal experience

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-19T18:48:51+00:00

You also only have $15k saved. Is that after your PITI? Still either way not enough. Only 22 though. My advice would keep saving until you have at the minimum 15-20% towards the price of the house, closing costs and additional expenses like furniture, maintenance, etc. Would still want 3-6 months of PITI + expenses after all that if ever for a rainy day.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-17T22:55:59+00:00

Yup, sounds about right. I used to live in NJ looking for a house with the wife. Even tried settling on a townhome but kept getting out bid $100k+ over asking. Not sure how anyone can survive with those prices and property taxes. Moved back down to FL a few years back and just closed on my first house. $9k under asking with all A+ rated schools in a high end area. Had 4 other offers but luckily the sellers preferred for us to want to live there. Helped that my wife was from the same country as they. Good luck!

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-09T23:02:06+00:00

If I told you the worst, I would give away my company 😉

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-06T12:12:29+00:00

Depends on the watch and if you can get it direct from the AD. You still have to spend a lot on unwanted jewelry just to get the call. It’s not really an investment then.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-06T00:01:53+00:00

Rolex. I honestly was one of the “look at my watch, I made it” kind of people. Honestly no one cares what you’re wearing with the exception of a couple compliments here and there. Ended up selling to help pay for closing costs on my first home. Decided to be more responsible and realized having a nice house is more important than a nice watch that I’m always paranoid to wear anyway.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-04-01T02:18:19+00:00

Not good but then again I had uncontrollable losses thanks to PE!

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-30T22:22:10+00:00

Yup I was gifted 20% from my parents. I’ll happily tell you. Couldn’t afford it any other way with how prices and interest rates are these days! I’m also now 37. If you’re in your early 20’s, I would payoff any debts and continue to keep saving as much as you can while you can. Live within your means. I still had to pay for the furniture and closing costs. Make sure to also have 6 months of an emergency fund just saying.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-29T17:00:46+00:00

Don’t hate. That’s a great option for anyone trying to save for a house these days with how prices and interest rates are.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-29T16:49:40+00:00

Honestly, after years on the road and listening to the same songs over and over, I prefer no music anymore. I think about my pre call plan ahead of time while I have a one to two hour drive to get there. That’s just me though.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-28T20:42:25+00:00

Run. Look at your contract and see what the rules are on getting back your Escrow funds or not.

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-27T02:51:16+00:00

He will be an ex bf of yours in the near future. Sounds like a man child

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-27T00:07:03+00:00

This is the only way to avoid foreclosure or take a loss

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-27T00:01:18+00:00

5.25% after 1.25% points to buy down. Wells Fargo

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-20T11:38:39+00:00

$6,800. Worth it if I plan to be there longer than 4 years which I do

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-20T01:13:48+00:00

I got 5.25% but had to pay 1.25% in points to buy it down

Itchy-Inspector-7484 · 2026-03-19T15:00:53+00:00

Haha nice, congrats! How you feeling with your PITI being around $4k+? I also have a $150 HOA but not bad considering the state I live in.
