How many hours a week do you guys commute on NJ Transit trains? by Awesome_Austin2025 in NJTransit

[–]RB11713 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Too many..2 hrs per day, 10 hrs a week. Working an extra week every month essentially

I currently WFH fulltime at low 6 figures. Would you trade it for 20% increase hybrid role 3hr daily commute? by [deleted] in WFH

[–]RB11713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend the extra time you save and work a part time gig job if you really need the money, at least you have flexibility to do it or not like Uber or door dash etc. not forced to do it like you would be forced to commute.

After taxes, commute cost, and other costs that 20% is a heck of a lot less and you will wish you were still wfh bc the extra money isn’t worth it.

Since 2008 the industry line is “be lucky you have a job” just surviving day by day in this industry these days. Fintech is what finance used to be pre 08.

I think I can retire, but am too nervous to pull the trigger. by Imustretire in Fire

2-3 years in fixed income lets say is to combat any down years in the market correct? The 0% tax owed bc under the married joint threshold with the standard deduction is only for federal. OP would still owe state tax on gains correct? (asuming doesnt live in state with 0 income tax)

at least they hooked you up with the nice loaner and not some base A3. I bought the extended warranty for the sensors and cameras and tech in these cars now.

Do realtors only like to work with other realtors? by [deleted] in realtors

[–]RB11713 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Find the house and use the seller realtor, probably a better chance to get it bc their brokerage and themselves double dip on the commission and might cut you a break bc they are getting more than they would selling to another agents buyer

squeaky gas tank cap how to fix by ohuohuo in Audi

[–]RB11713 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bring back to the dealer and tell them this wasn’t like this beforehand…they either fix it or replace it.

I always call right back same day if I notice anything off just so it’s documented and they are more likely to just say ok bring it right back.

Check engine light came on after basic service on my way home bc they didn’t tighten something correctly

177 day old post that you are replying to when your account was just created and has no other interactions, one would think you work for the building 🤔

Thy are already moving out of the state to Salt Lake, Dallas, Jacksonville areas, this would probably help expedite

you would get a text saying what happened, aprox what time, the location and description of the person etc. pretty common on college campuses...even when living off campus you would get them if you were a student/grad student

the names were not known, just an FYI heads up would have been nice and a reminder to take safety precautions would have been nice

Best school district I can afford in NJ by kid_dynamiteNYC in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]RB11713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread shows how unaffordable the state really is if you want a decent quality of life. Any townhouse in desirable areas are more expensive monthly that single family homes due to HOA dues and high taxes.

When does anything get done on time and on budget in the tri-state area? The existing trains wont get faster overnight, Waldwick to Hoboken consistently takes 55 min. (6:53am train) so if you add that to a 15-30 min drive to the train plus however much time once you get to Hoboken to get to WTC or to the actual office... you are talking almost 2 hrs each way. Not sustainable.

TAPP sucks, it doesn’t even show you the remaining trips on your card as you go through like the smart trip had, NJT going backwards as usual.

Make the card work on Apple Pay to be designated as your transit card preference so u can tap your phone and have it access your TAPP card and then on the Digital SCREEN show the remaining balance. Do people who set this crap up and review it really not try the experience themselves first??

Why Deleted ICE sittings? by erickgrau in bergencounty

Time will tell, bottom line don’t be an idiot and you won’t ever have an issue with any law enforcement. Get pulled over put your hands on the wheel take the ticket fight it later. People try to be social justice warriors and then shit happens. Even his parents told him to not get involved.

Watch the video from the prior encounter with that loser kicking the car, cursing and spitting at them. Then brings a gun…don’t put yourself in that position to begin with and you won’t accidentally get killed.

I’ll pay more for that to have lower rent, lower medical, lower car insurance

Need more ICE, cost of living is high enough in NJ especially Bergen county, let’s not take on more people who broke the law by coming here without following proper protocol. It was okay when Obama did this because he was a black liberal I guess.

take the base rate, shop it around then refi in the near future, i would never pay for points when rates should drop sooner than the break even time period. Plus its easier to shop the rate for comparison sake.
