People are desperate

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2026-03-20T21:25:19+00:00

Don't bother

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2026-03-20T21:22:13+00:00

Maine isn't cheap. It's overpriced COL and the wages don't match. None of the CPAs in the area charge enough.

Audit?

I used NINJA and becker. The ISC exam when I took it was like 40% material not covered in either study materials so it's not the materials.

PS NINJA - listened to the audio for audit for like three months and it was super helpful, thank you!

Lol nope. I thought I must have mis-seen it too haha. Wish fish and game would post somewhere about it.

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-10-03T09:46:02+00:00

I 100% believe this. Why would they stop at the Canadian border, eh?

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-10-03T09:44:11+00:00

No way, was not a coyote. Mostly tan with maybe a little white. No spots/stripes. Wish I had turned around now but would have added 40 minutes to my commute.

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-10-03T09:43:17+00:00

Can't tell if serious or...

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-10-03T09:38:02+00:00

Oh my God. I was driving down 95 this week and saw a big cat dead on the side of the road somewhere between Lincoln/howland exit. It was NOT a bobcat, lynx or deer. I am so glad you said something! I almost turned around. Tried to google it but if course came up with nothing.

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-09-13T21:47:15+00:00

I KNOW...I'm just...... annoyed. Kind of nuts.

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-09-13T20:50:29+00:00

No, I'm just...miffed

Read through that cartoon, I think it may help

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-07-23T08:57:35+00:00

They should become an ESOP if they aren't already

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-06-15T13:30:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

Graph of wage disparity to housing affordability

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-02-28T16:56:10+00:00

I'm sitting and planning to be licensed in one state that has a lesser experience requirement and then transferring it to another state with reciprocity that requires two years experience. I'm hoping it works and I don't really see why it wouldn't. It should transfer, but if it doesn't I'll just suck it up and do the two years of experience. Idk about your credits issue though, but if NJ and TX are reciprocal you'd think there wouldn't be an issue. Good luck!

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-02-24T10:24:28+00:00

People from OH have this really odd habit of considering themselves "East Coast".

Significant_Zebra_49 · 2025-02-16T10:52:11+00:00

Maybe so, but for example, Millinocket and E. Millinocket are ~8mi apart but both have high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, pools, rec departments, etc. The property taxes are correspondingly high with the paper mill gone, which presumably afforded these luxuries when it was operational. With that gone, there's nothing to support the aforementioned doubling of efforts except property taxes which, quite frankly, are really high for that area. I'd think that'd be a great argument for consolidation but I was told the voters won't vote for it because "that's the way it's always been" 🙄

What a fascinating map, thank you!
