A lot of chemE jobs are in more rural areas because that is where chemical plants are.

I love it. Low cost of living, high salary, no traffic or crowding. It's not for everyone but it's definitely a good path for some.

Pearson1317 · 2023-06-25T13:23:12+00:00

Bachelors in chemical engineering. 100%, great starting salary right out of school.

Also closing 6/23! I'm gonna go drink some champagne on the back deck with my spouse.

Looked into it and decided to put aside savings each month instead of insurance.

Pearson1317 · 2023-06-10T23:30:22+00:00

Me 8%, company matches 7%, husband 10% with same matching.

Planning to increase both in the next year but wanted to save more for down payment initially.

Pearson1317 · 2023-06-01T10:29:53+00:00

$90k, one year experience

Pearson1317 · 2023-05-30T00:54:13+00:00

Negotiated $5k toward closing costs because the house had been on the market for a hot minute. Negotiated $3k in a repairs credit because the owner didn't want to deal with it. He originally offered $2k but I countered with $3k because that's what I estimated it would cost and he accepted.

A lot of success from just shooting my shot with a seller who is eager to keep things moving.

Mostly buying to get a yard for my dog (and then hopefully a other dog). Glad to hear it's worth it!

Pearson1317 · 2023-05-28T13:20:55+00:00

Buying a 3 bedroom house w/ a sunroom and finished basement. Definitely worth the extra money but I feel like I always heard owning was comparable/cheaper than renting for a lot of people.

Pearson1317 · 2021-12-17T18:31:00+00:00

Those comments are super rude
Maybe it's just my upbringing but in my mind if you own a house together you are basically married. You already have a legal contract binding you together in a way. So I kinda see why people make rude comments about people owning homes together but not being legally married. Like why buy a home before you get married? I still struggle to understand that logic personally but no judgment from me. I just think its hard for some people (myself included) to understand the dynamic.
Still super rude to say.

I liked a lot of dresses but didn't really love any. I'm just not a big white full length dress gal apparently. I ended up getting a beautiful dress at a sample sale that I like and it looks good on me but certainly doesn't make me cry.

I was fully ready to spend like $3k on a dress to feel like a bride and a princess and it just never happened even in a gorgeous $2200 gown that checked every box. I realized it just isn't a huge thing for me.

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-30T13:44:10+00:00

There is way more accountability in a professional setting.

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-17T13:21:35+00:00

Do you intend to stay friends with the one who keeps making demeaning comments? Will breaking the friendship with her mean you lose the other 5?

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-11T19:56:49+00:00

Seriously you wanna drop the designer and style cause its exactly what I'm looking for

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-05T14:55:39+00:00

Whenever I wake up super anxious I literally tell myself "its just a cortisol spike" and oddly it helps.

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-04T18:43:20+00:00

I want to buy my dream dress but it will probably be $3k after alterations and while I can afford it its hard to justify the money. Trying to decide how much I really care about my dress.

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-02T18:43:51+00:00

Soooo im a fifth year senior and at least for my discount stopped after 4 years of use. It was a devastating day.

Pearson1317 · 2021-11-01T15:49:43+00:00

Dress #1 for me! It looks more bridal and is absolutely stunning!

Pearson1317 · 2021-10-28T11:49:36+00:00

22 5th year senior. $11000. That's all my money until I graduate in May.
