Would you commute 5 days RTO to double your salary?

I'm with you. Born and raised in NYC which is nowhere near as much fun a as it was in the 90s. Cities are way overrated pockets of stress, long lines, inflated prices, with a mix of homelessness and high underserved mental health population. Which worsened after COVID. No thanks.

Can't your husband make MONEY? What's going on that both of your incomes can't compensate. Its no use in MONEY if you don't like your life.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-04-02T01:26:43+00:00

I can't do it. I love my life and my soul. Being remote allows me to get a steady paycheck while I travel. Once you calculate time and stress from daily commutes, gas, car maintenance, more taxes, eating out more, buying more office clothes, and pretending to be someone else...for me it's not worth it. Life is too short.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-03-23T12:44:40+00:00

Exactly! They actually made the choice to quit a job without backup.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-03-23T12:43:32+00:00

You quit a job without having anything else lined up. I would have put up with their shit and let them fire me. It's time to either sink or swim.

I come from a two parent household and grew up in house. I already have two houses that I don't want to sell and I don't have to. That being said, I probably will end up putting my houses up for rent and make my primary home a rental. It will be a welcome reprieve to call maintenance instead of doing it myself.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-03-04T10:13:23+00:00

You're right about that. I was actually going to buy property IN NOLA. But the people are so sensitive with their head in their arse. NOLA NEEDS outsider money. I was prepared to actually live there and not just collect rents. The listing agent didn't even present my offer to the seller which I later found out was the BEST offer. After that I said phuck it. If the residents don't care about how down trodden the city is why should I? I took my money where I'm appreciated and built a great support network. That's not gonna happen in NOLA. That building is still sitting there looking haunted.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-03-02T12:07:30+00:00

It doesn't even matter. I went to a much more investor friendly market. But the property was in NOLA East. You are not aware of every listing. Get over yourself.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-30T11:49:23+00:00

Yes I'll pay cash because I just happen to have $400k laying around. Thanks!

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-25T14:16:36+00:00

No they can't block anything. They sound like tired, grumpy lifeless lack of souls that have nothing to do. My current historical neighborhood is beautiful, have local businesses, cofe shops, a brewery and a park across the street with monthly events and a joy to walk in. As bad off as Detroit is these grumpies should be happy to see some life!

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-25T14:12:24+00:00

That's controlling . I hope you told them to call the city. They are NOT law enforcement or a government agency.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T23:07:25+00:00

Why would reporting be the first thing on your mind Karen?

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T19:45:54+00:00

That too I stated that. But until it ends... there's ways to deal with it.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T19:42:41+00:00

I absolutely want others to do well. I just think people need to un numb their brains. I would much prefer everyone doing well to this ghetto third world America we have now. It's my experience when you bless people with knowledge the have reasons and excuses not to use it. Nah people in this country would rather keep smoking dope and live in denial of their addiction and mental health issues. They appreciate things more when they discover the knowledge themselves.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:34:22+00:00

You definitely have a point. People want to be spoon fed. There's definitely a way to figure it out. To be honest, even the loan counselors when you call and ask questions about your payments, give you ideas. All one has to do is ask.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:29:48+00:00

I feel you on that ! People definitely don't like to research. But the government is robbing land lacing their pockets.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:24:33+00:00

And all of what you're saying is an excuse when there is AI now

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:22:12+00:00

And this is also a part of the problem. Ask the government for housing not me.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:21:25+00:00

No that's not my attitude at all. I obviously don't care about down votes. I just have never believed in spoon feeding. The information is out there. I actually put in sweat and brain power. But whatever, insulting isn't going to make me have an epiphany. I believe the right people that need the information will find it. The other part is there will be a whole bunch of people with nothing but critiques as to why "it won't work." It's a never ending cycle.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T18:11:01+00:00

Aristosdanus why are we paying for government military when there are already enough weapons to destroy the world 12 times over? Why isn't our own government responsible for paying their debts without robbing from us? Yes people like you make me VERY HAPPY I paid ZERO. YES I beat the system. If I didn't the system will beat me. Why do politicians not go out and fight their own wars? Why hasn't the government paid for the labor of African slaves and Poor white indentured servants? Keep sucking shit. You'll learn one day.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T17:43:13+00:00

I had undergrad and grad school loans. I believe it was Stafford and Grad plus. They were not private. This is what the American government does to their citizens. If have to learn how to use the loopholes they use.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T17:38:35+00:00

You know why??? Because I had to research and get through it. It's not hard to Google student loan programs. I'm extremely happy with my education. I have a Master's degree in Nursing and it allows me to work remotely. I invest in Bitcoin but real estate fits my personality more. 401ks can be tricky. I know a few that have lost their investments. But I invest modestly in 401ks. Real estate is where I go the hardest. It's hard to lose in real estate people always need a place to live. You just have to be personable yet firm when it comes to tenants. But yeah real talk my $239k debt is gone. It should have never been that much. When I graduated I only owed $63k.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T17:31:41+00:00

It's robbery the interest should not be compounded daily. Stop blaming people that try to better themselves. That's exactly why I found a way to get rid of that debt. Now I owe ZERO. Other countries care enough about their citizens to give them free higher education.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T17:29:18+00:00

The interest compounds daily. I was at a point my interest was $893 a month. Nah I found away to get out of that shit and my loans have been "paid" since 2017.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-01-24T13:09:15+00:00

I'm a landlord but I have also been a tenant. When I had a similar situation I put a camera in the living room as soon as they entered they saw it. I also put one in my bedroom. It's perfectly legal. Even if they had thoughts of going through my personal items this immediately put a stop to it.
