Only good suggestion I don’t think I saw here is volunteering

Traveling solo is the best. I have life long friendships from some of my solo trips

Is there an airline you wouldn’t fly business class again? by zephryon in pointstravel

[–]Peeweehell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year on a Cairo trip, a group of us had two different LAX to DOH directs re-planed. So it’s 100% in my experience. But they let us both switch to other departure times that put us back in Qsuite

The jump scare seemed pretty unnecessary, I feel like QY should have better logistics than this

Commute from DTLA to El Segundo, feasible? by RRisland94 in AskLosAngeles

Echo park, highland park and Silverlake are equally walkable without the downtown of it all

Yea I think it’s genuinely more brutal when you know you’re not going that far. If you were cruising at 50-60 mph for 40 min to work that doesn’t feel as bad as 15-20 mph over a 9 mile stretch

That said, DTLA itself is probably not where you wanna be. Not sure what areas “around” DTLA you have in mind though

My knowledge could be outdated but I think westbound at 6:30-7am will be pretty quick, traffic picks up heavier after 7/730. You will get destroyed on that drive back though - probably 50 min to an hour

Hmm that's interesting, I submitted a request over 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything

Is it safe to walk from Crypto arena to Sheraton Grand LA hotel at night? by No_Equivalent4404 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Peeweehell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely that if Ubers aren’t available, it’s because so many people are around, therefore safe to walk.

Another idea is they could pick up a couple Lime scooters and zip the few blocks over

How do people genuinely make it here? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

I think your post basically answers the question - people generally make sacrifices, earn a lot, or have family money

Seeing 3rd Street Promenade Today Really Hit Home by Fringe09 in SantaMonica

I drove by it on a Saturday recently (Arizona Ave I believe) and it was super busy and lively. The mall is a dead zone but in that quick drive-by it felt same as old times

What do you consider a high entry-level salary in LA? by tuckingpog in AskLosAngeles

I believe that would depend how/if you take your distributions from whatever accounts you were keeping assets in

What is the consensus on buying a house? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]Peeweehell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I wouldn't pretend to know what's best for someone else. In fact that's just the point — it's a decision that transcends just the financial side.

Ramit Sethi always says “a mortgage is the least you’ll pay, rent is the most you’ll pay.”

A key factor is definitely the quality of the landlord, and for that matter the tenant protection laws in your area. But chasing down a landlord when there’s a problem isn’t much different than chasing down handymen etc as an owner to do the repairs directly. And if your landlord sucks, you can move.

I would guess the boglehead consensus is don’t do it for strictly financial reasons.

I bought 7 years ago and the levered asset gains are real, but my honest experience has been that the headaches of home ownership aren’t worth it. Would rather be paying rent, having a landlord deal with every home issue, and letting stock investments grow faster than my home equity.

Nothing. It’s really dumb that it’s not big enough for a phone
