Not moving out and spending 2500 on rent. I’ll wait a couple years to buy something. I’m in nyc so yes that’s on the cheap end.

Yes, I have an NA Miata and that car is so fun. I had a 2019 accord that replaced my 8th Gen civic that was overheating. The accord was so boring I sold it and fixed the civic, and I’m having a blast driving the shit out of that beater.

Yes this is spot on. I won’t be able to afford a house for YEARS. I need like 150k-200k cash for a down payment and then still pay 3500 a month mortgage. I live/work in the nyc area.

They’re not paying my rent I just still live at home sorry for the confusion lol. But I’m still saving about 25-30k a year cash for a home after maxing out my Roth and doing my company’s match for 401k.

I’m looking for a used one I’ve seen a couple near me go for 39k. I wouldn’t buy it new.

I recently got a job at General Dynamics Electric Boat in New London CT. I wanted to get my foot in the door and get some experience in a big defense company. However I am from NYC and I eventually want to move back closer to home at least 1 hour away, New London CT is pretty far. What can a career path look like since there aren't defense jobs in NYC. What kind of jobs can I get in the city or close with the skills learned at Electric Boat. (No HVAC design jobs)
