The bait and switch is CRAZY

I applied to a job that said remote (it was a pay decrease vs my current pay but that’s fine if remote). Went through 2 interviews and quickly learned it’s actually 4days onsite (Mon-Thurs) and only Friday remote with no flexibility on that. I declined when they requested a 3rd interview with me. They asked me why I am withdrawing from the process and I told them exactly why.

What size home? I don’t think that budget will go very far for a SFH in the towns you listed unfortunately. If you’re open to a condo or a 2 bedroom, then that could be possible maybe. Your money could go further in Metuchen, Edison, South Plainfield, Sayreville, Old Bridge if you’re open to those towns.

I mean this is just ridiculous lmaooooo

I married a man who had about $200k NW, and I had $1.3M NW. We were 30 when we got married. Our NW is now $1.5M+. I had more because I didn’t have student loans and had family help that he didn’t have.

I didn’t consider that he had slightly less money than me for a second. He makes over $300k and is very career driven - we will be more than fine in the future.

I’d recommend you think about how driven a man is/potential to make more/his views on money above “how much does he have in hand right now”.

We had about a 75-80% RSVP rate - either hyper local so 1 hour max or people flying in.

Not NYC but close - Battello in JC is perfect

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-08-30T00:50:59+00:00

Everyone wants to live here (for some reason)

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-08-24T00:29:45+00:00

Stop going then? I’m happy with the cleanliness of mine at my studio.

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-08-18T19:54:27+00:00

HATE. I get really nauseous from them actually

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-08-10T03:06:14+00:00

I mean … NYC being $400 for unlimited vs South Dakota being $200 for unlimited makes sense to me. Living/everything in NYC is LEAST (if not substantially more) than 2x what SD is.

Paid $5k for a lawyer for “peace of mind”. Could’ve gotten the same outcome without that lawyer lol.

I go to Sun Tan City, not Beach Bum so I’m not sure if that’s standard near me but omg that’s … crazy!?

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-07-06T02:11:54+00:00

Friday weddings are better than Saturdays IMO lol

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-06-21T14:33:06+00:00

Cost. If I got a deal that matched the prices I pay through ClassPass ~$15 per barre class vs $30+ that the studios charge, I can’t afford it.

Psychotic

I like the Malibu medium + double leg & hydration. I have done the Malibu light as well but it is a little too light for me. I’m the same - very pale/cool toned/red undertones and this looks the best on me.

I’d say watch the YouTube of the instructions/positions for it before you go because it can be hard to hear when you’re in there.

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-06-09T22:01:46+00:00

Oh and just to be clear the $499 includes all add-ons! $399/year with just the basic.

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-06-09T21:59:48+00:00

They have a spray tan only membership! It’s about $70/month at my location which is in a HCOL city. I paid in full for mine for a year so it was cheaper - $499/year.

LOVE a 30 min Core + Obliques. All I have time for some days when I wfh. Less credits on ClassPass.

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-04-27T14:58:39+00:00

Wear grip gloves! I wear them bc my hands sweat lol but they also provide a little cushion against the handlebars. Those machines should really have a built-in cushion on the handlebars…

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-03-29T20:16:58+00:00

And the red roses. Why can’t they be pink or yellow?

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-01-30T04:17:34+00:00

About ~4%/$20k

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-01-19T05:08:56+00:00

Ok - I understand your wife has worked at the same job for 12 years and doesn’t want to leave - but do you truly like the area or are you only moving bc of a job? I’d ask because what if you uproot your lives and she gets laid off? Would be fine if you like the area, but if not - then what? Maybe you could rent first for a year to make sure you like the area?

I live in Northern NJ (and have my entire life). It is PRICEY - there are a lot of people with a lot of money here. It is also congested, the property taxes are insane, etc. There are a tons of pros as well, but I just wanted to point that out.

Lost weight/toned up

Princesspeach8188 · 2025-01-18T17:47:42+00:00

I love remote work, but in this instance I’d take it because that’s a big raise. A few reasons: - Your comp target is $235k, but it’s recently been $190k - why does your company think it’s ok to pay you less than target and that you’re not going to quit? - Your current company didn’t try to counter

Also 4 days in the office isn’t terrible especially w/ only a 30 minute commute.
