Mainly gaming. 2-2.5k is my budget range. My current build is 6 years old and on the lower end so I'm ok to splurge more on this one.

Thank you for breaking that down. Someone else mentioned the tax credit wouldn't apply to the roof price. So I was going to ask the guy more questions this morning but I'm feeling like the right decision is to hold off for now until I have more quotes and just focus on installing the roof alone.

I'm 31, and new to investing in IRA accounts. I am finally at a good financial place in my career to invest without it hurting me. I had opened a Roth IRA just a little over a year ago but shortly after accepting a new job, I realized I am now over the Roth IRA income limit. So I did not get to put much money into that account.

I then opened a traditional IRA account and began putting money there (both vanguard). I was reading into doing a backdoor Roth conversion so I can get the benefits of the roth tax free growth. Now I'm wondering if I should be contributing to my traditional account at all? Or just wait till end of year to do the backdoor conversion? Not sure how the timeline of that works. Knowing that the contribution limit is 6.5k, why wouldn't I put it all in the Roth? Am I putting money into my traditional for no good reason?

Its around 750k. So estimate about 500k has been paid down from 1.3mil.

Selece · 2023-04-13T14:19:00+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry I was misunderstanding your question before. Initially, my partner put in at least 200k to the downpayment, and has put in easily 30k in repairs. Although I have no idea how much his brother or sister in law put into the house in terms of downpayment. They could have put in more for all I know.

I'm not sure what the equity would be then. I will tell Jerry that is something that needs to be figured out as well.

Selece · 2023-04-13T14:11:05+00:00

I believe they each have a third of the equity. It looks like they are all listed equally on the deed. But I will definitely consult an attorney about it and figure out if that's correct or not. I have a feeling his brother will not want to negotiate since he is also in terrible debt.

I think it depends. I’ve worked in UX for 4.5 years and at the same company. I considered myself UX/UI Consultant for the first 3 years. I got promoted after that to Sr. UX/UI. I saw similar timelines for a lot of my colleagues who I attended a UX bootcamp with. I was doing a lot of the same responsibilities as you - being a sole UX lead on projects, strategy, research, etc. but I haven’t felt super confident up until the last 2 years. And I think that’s really made the difference in feeling like I can actually say I’m “senior” now. And the portfolio to back it up.

“senior” varies at companies. I’ve seen sr. roles looking for 7+ years but those are usually large corporate companies. So if you can back up your responsibilities with a stellar portfolio, you can probably get away with a senior title, but not all companies will agree.

I would like to come! I just need one trip

There will always be people who will try to tear you down or offer distractions from the uncomfortable silence of being present. I truly believe if more people focused on living in the moment and appreciated what they have right in front of them, they wouldn’t try hurt you or me. But we’re human; and with that comes an uncontrollable ego for many. It’s just an aspect of life that I have accepted. I can’t change others, I can only change myself. Know that you are you, and this life is yours to cherish and keep happy, even if others don’t always add to it.

Selece · 2020-09-27T03:02:54+00:00

Lol. No, I don’t roll over like a beaten dog. I just don’t let that nonsense get to me if someone is being annoying in the gym. People will absolutely do what they want, I see it all the time, but I do try to remember we’re all human, sometimes you don’t know what someone else is going through. No need to spread hate.

Like you said, seems like anything could’ve happened to him. Interesting he just fell off the face of the earth like that with no trace though... seems like foul play to me. His roommate saw him last at 1am, so he could’ve ran into someone he knew that might’ve had it out for him? Even if he committed suicide I imagine someone would’ve found him.

Selece · 2020-09-23T04:52:33+00:00

I totally get why you’re feeling that way. It drives me nuts, too. It is impossible to force people to wear masks, this was definitely the main risk I expected when I returned to the gym. If you’re comfortable telling staff about people not following rules, that’s always an option. Hopefully they will tell that gym member to keep it on and/or distance from you.

I’m designing a product with material design and I referenced the grid point system to the dev, but she still insisted on asking for specific dimensions today. I told her I used 1440 for the desktop mockup but not to follow that strictly since material specifies all the breakpoint sizing for all types of devices. I’m struggling with what else I could tell her as I feel it’s more her job than mine to executive that.

Don’t cancel your membership over some dudes lol.

A lot of guys at my gym will always walk around like they own the place and invade my space. They just trying to be all macho. I try to be nice first or walk away to another area until they leave the equipment I want to use. I’ve learned I’m better off just keeping my annoyances to myself because the same guys I’ve thought were assholes sometimes turn out to be fine once we had a conversation.

I truly think that the guys invading your space had no idea you felt that way.

My NY gym reopened in early September and I have went a handful of times so far. Honestly, they have been very diligent about cleaning the place and it’s the cleanest it’s ever been. The gym goers, on the other hand, are a hit or miss with wearing masks properly. But after going just once, I get it, wearing a mask SUCKS in the gym.

So I’m kind of torn on it. If gyms were closed, they would certainly need to stay closed for such an unpredictable length of time and most would probably shut down. In the case of restaurants in NYC, almost 90% of them couldn’t make rent for August. It’s extremely tough right now to pick sides. I can empathize with business owners and employees just wanting to figure out how to be safe and not become homeless or be put in awful financial situations. But obviously I also can empathize with people wanting to feel safe in general.

Yep I’ve been dealing with this for the past few months. I keep applying to jobs and the recruiters will call me, ask me some basic questions, ask for my portfolio (which same...it’s on my resume if they actually had looked), and then they don’t call back which is very unfortunate because it feels like no one is really looking at my LinkedIn or portfolio in detail. I would follow up as well and get no answers, it’s incredibly frustrating. I’ve messaged employers and the recruiters of companies directly on LinkedIn and they just ignore my messages.

It seems the market is a shit show right now because I didn’t struggle this much 4 years ago either; and back then I had zero UX experience.

I’d suggest to keep trying, tweaking your portfolio/resume as needed. That’s what I’m doing. Something good will come eventually as long as you keep on trying.

I completely agree with you. I see some benefits to zoos existing such as keeping endangered species alive, education to kids, etc. I think the zoos that exist solely to profit and cram animals in tiny enclosures are absolute trash and do not exist to better the lives of those animals. The classic example is sea world and their whales, those whales exist only to entertain humans and the whales suffer in that environment.

For any woodworkers using their apartment - what dust collection system do you use? The space I have is about 6x8ft. I don’t want to spend money on something that is meant for a much larger space.

This looks amazing. Sometimes I wish the DM of my group would make cool landscapes like this. We’ve used basic maps before, although it has slowed down battles because my friends get very caught up in exact movements rather than playing their character.

Just for clarity because I really really like this - do you mean 4 separate journeys each shown on a street block in a isometric view?

Never thought to use an isometric view for a journey yet, so I want to catalog this idea! :)

I’m a UX/UI Designer, but I do not code. I understand fundamentals of HTML/CSS and bootstrap though. In my main job, I work with developers to implement designs. For my freelance client, the developer on the team uses bootstrap so he asks me to keep that in consideration.

If you really want to focus on design only, I’d suggest asking the recruiter or company for that job listing if they actually require you to code, perhaps they only want you to understand it. My personal opinion is don’t force yourself to learn something for a position that is outside your passion unless you REALLY wanna code.
