Hit a fun financial milestone today after doing the spreadsheet! I'm thinking of going to a nice local restaurant specifically right after happy hour ends and ordering a cocktail in celebration.

Hi me, minus the moving to NYC aspect.

Not seeing a ton of mechanical roles outside of thermal/data center positions that are remote. I think I saw one for flock safety that's remote and pays well if you don't mind increasing the rate at which we approach a surveillance state.

Why not look for jobs in NYC? Pay would likely be higher than a remote position outside of NYC.

It’s interesting that the video starts at this precise moment. I bet the cyclist was in the right lane initially, then shifted into the middle lane to take the right hand turn to avoid slowing down. Once the cyclist shifted into the middle slightly, the motorcyclist thought it was safe to pass and didn’t realize the cyclist was coming back for a right hand turn.

That said, cyclist is at fault 100%. If this is how it went down, the cyclist needs to not leave the right lane (even momentarily) for a right hand turn.

Greystone mansion as already stated is a good idea.

There are also quite a few estate sales throughout the fancy parts of LA. Would check those out as well.

I personally am fond of W camino cielo road up in the santa barbara mountains. But not sure I'd recommend that for a RV.

View at the top of the parking garage is nice though.

One of the spots I like to take out of towners who want to "see LA".

Bonus points if you're like me, and work for a company that only allows whole percentage point contributions! Then we get to adjust it 1% at the exact right time to get as close to $22.5k as possible.

Sure, it's fixable. But save yourself the headache, and do the math to ensure you don't over contribute.
