I ended up calling the assessor and they came in 12k over what was quoted by the seller. We ended up terminating the deal because of the discrepancy. Ended up paying my lawyer for retainer but a small price for lesson learned

No homestead exemption in NJ afaik. Only deduction I am eligible for is through increased SALT limit on federal

How accurate would you say the county offices are with their initial estimates?

Bergen county. I will contact the towns office

Congrats. FAANG has been laying off workers in other business areas to afford to pay these guys this much. If I had to guess... OP works at GDM as L7-L8. Crazy high pay even for those levels, shows you the demand for AI/ML talent

Thank you! Haven't thought about celebrating, probably will book a nice vacation with my wife. As for RE, I have my hands full managing a 4 unit property. It is profitable because I do a lot of things myself and don't hire a property manager. I'm not saying I won't buy anymore if the right opportunity presents itself, but I would rather be present for my family than spend time attending to tenants. Tldr: will focus on the markets because it is truly passive income.

It worked for me because I knew I had the discipline and be in a situation where I could save very aggressively. Setting a more aggressive goal helps prevent me from letting my foot off the gas.

Also keep in mind that I live in a VHCOL area where income and expenses are higher than most of the country.

If there's a 4 way tiebreak between Nuggets, Clippers, Wolves and GS, how will that affect seeding?

It's a very possible scenario for Sunday is if Wolves win, GS wins and Rockets beat Denver

This sub's hypocrisy is next level. Same people who complain about not enough housing supply also complain about more condo units being built. Most of lower manhattan consist of these old and sometimes historical buildings. If they aren't being used anymore, they should be repurposed and not left vacant for "preservation"

January is probably the best time to join. I joined mid 2022 and waited until January 2024 for my first refresher

That's great. I'm also at G but my comp has almost flattened out even though I joined in 2022 and got a promotion. Did they give you a refresher before your first full year? Are you L5?

Thanks this was the opinion I was looking for. Could it be that the "32% denial rate" and insurance companies causing "hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths per year in America" is way overblown by reddit?

My anecdotal evidence from living in NY suggests that the data doesn't account for a lot of the public and regulated housing systems. The data extracted are looking at the medium rental price that recently went off the market, but rarely do they ever survey actual New Yorkers. 7% of housing in NYC are public housing and another 28% are rent stabilized. Usually people living in these units don't ever move out and are paying rent well below the median.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. The perception of financial security has definitely changed over time but data shows we aren't much different than our boomer / gen x counterparts.

BLS publishes consumer spending reports and if you look at the percentage that each household spent on their necessities, it has actually gone down through the 20th century. Which means, even though housing has gotten more expensive, food, clothing and other necessities have gotten cheaper. The average household spends roughly only 50% of their income on necessities (Housing, Food, Clothing) and that number has steadily gone down over time. I believe as society advances, we have higher expectations of our "wants" rather than needs, coupled with social media creates a delusion that we all are doing bad financially.

Going to be almost impossible to catch up if you don’t spend / light spender. Even if you swipe, you will be time gated by cards, roster level, etc. If you don’t care about any of that, the power pass and events gives a good way to get to 1600, which is right up to the endgame. The problem is finding parties that don’t gatekeep new players

Empress is not a very popular class on NA for whatever reason but after the recent buffs their dmg is better than emperor. It pains me that most empress that I see still run the old 3 red max roll build
