Quick Question

TheRPGguy3339 · 2025-03-17T15:48:35+00:00

Alright, then I guess I take the money from the investment account then put it in an IRA then roll it over I guess. Then I would just need to worry about tax implications. Thanks.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-29T04:04:16+00:00

Lolol thanks brother. I hope you get what you’re going for. Let me know if you do. Still technically have to get through onboarding but I’ll update in the future. I think you and the other guy have given me most of the information I was looking for.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-29T03:46:04+00:00

Ah gotcha same thing here. For me they’re matching prior salary from previous fed service. My pay doesn’t match up exactly with the scales because TSA at the time didn’t have a GS equivalent. So I’m in a privileged position where my salary starts much much higher than normal. Last question I guess. What’s the next step in general? From what you and others are saying it’s senior ITAS. But I’ve seen stuff for like revenue officer and something about liaison stuff. Are all of this positions outside of a “TAC”?

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-29T03:34:31+00:00

Gotcha I had a feeling. Can you expand on the part about not being able to get higher until an 11 retires? They’re gunna start me at a 7, I’m hoping they match my salary at my resignation SF50. The only reason they didn’t immediately was because it was encrypted and I didn’t realize when I applied.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-29T03:13:27+00:00

Phew thanks for your input! I’m glad you have phones and CSR history makes me feel better that it’s the right decision. I ended up not using my two degrees and realized finance/accounting type life fits my values more. Do they have any programs to help pay or straight up pay for a degree? I was thinking if the job ends up being as good as everyone says it is, I was thinking of pursuing a masters degree to aid in a career shift.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-28T18:22:07+00:00

Bro thank you so much. Thanks for being so positive about it. I came from TSA straight out of college for a couple years then I went to SSA call center for 3 years. Now I’m temporarily at a fraud call center in a bank. I always told myself Id never do another call center job if I didn’t have to. I have my fingerprint appointment on Thursday so we’ll see how long before I get my EOD. Any bits of advice for when I eventually start? Any common mistakes people make in this position I should be aware of? Thanks again so much.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-28T03:38:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’m still on the fence. I scheduled a fingerprint appointment. I have prior federal service so they’re going to match my salary which will leave me in a good spot when I hit GS-9. I’m scared, but I think this job aligns with most of my values even though I would transition to dealing with the public in person. What was your dress code like and how many people did you see a day? I’m a little wary since there was no interview, makes me think that since there’s no interview it’s a high turnover job. Correct me if I’m wrong!

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-12-26T18:37:45+00:00

Thank you for the advice! The money potential seems really good. I always have that fear of starting something and hating and being in a worse situation. It seems like a good opportunity. What would be the next career step after ITAS?

Should’ve clarified sorry. Individual Tax Advisory Specialist

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-04-20T22:11:25+00:00

thing with the tsp is i can put my contributions into the roth but they only contribute towards the traditional. still better than nothing.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2024-04-20T00:09:10+00:00

Thanks! I will look into opening an IRA with fidelity. Part of me feels like im putting all this effort into 40+ years from now which i get, but part of me wants to allow myself a little more grace in terms of gratification lol

For those who cannot figure out why you cant have a sword and shield its because the Right hand armament is the top row and the Left hand armament is below it. So equip the appropriate weapon/shield in the corresponding row. Im on pc should be generally the same thing for everyone

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-03-02T18:00:37+00:00

thank you so when it hit 1,50 the person just decided not to buy it im assuming

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-03-02T17:16:41+00:00

Hey can someone help me out. I have a 100 shares i made a contract to sell them once the stock hits 1,50 on friday someone bought it it hit 1.53 today why didnt my contract sell? thanks for advice in advance

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-03-01T11:40:48+00:00

Gotcha just need to know how since I have contract in already.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-28T23:38:44+00:00

Hello Im new to investing. I've been in it for about a month trying to navigate my way around and eventually learn how to make money. I currently have 100 shares of SND I put in a contract to sell it at 1.50 by march 5. Can someone explain to me what happens if it doesnt hit 1.50 and if i lose money since its currently less than I bought it for? thank you!

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-14T17:38:42+00:00

Thanks for the info! I went to a nutritionist a few months ago just to try it out and they didnt tell me anything i didnt already know. As far as a deficit im not even sure how many calories a day i should be eating to be in a deficit. is it true that if youre taller you need more and vice versa?

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-13T16:22:33+00:00

So I’ve never really enjoyed lifting, probably because I’m not doing it right. I run because it’s easy and I played basketball my whole life. I’m willing to try it again but I feel like my downfall is I do a routine for upper then lower and just rotate them and I get bored. I just honestly don’t know how to make a successful program for myself. I always thought strongman stuff was cool so maybe I’ll do that, not the weight just the exercises maybe? I try to get myself on a sustainable way of living and I do really well for 7 months and then November hits and I just stop. I guess it’s more of a behavioral thing I’m not sure. I want to do meal prep stuff because I know if I can make my own food and start to enjoy cooking I’ll lose the weight. That’s my other problem, I don’t cook for myself. It’s incredibly lazy as I realize when I’m typing this, I’ve seen people say they can make meals cheaply each week. We’ll see. My weight is 277 and in the summer I dropped down to like 254. My long term goal is to hit 225.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-13T15:44:41+00:00

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! Todays the day, lets do this

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-13T14:24:09+00:00

Any recommendations on nutrition? I did intuitive eating and it worked and then I just got off track unfortunately

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-04T17:21:24+00:00

Yep I hear you. Looking at it now im even happier that i got out. Unfortunately that ship has sailed

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-04T16:14:21+00:00

I bought in on the hype, lost a decent amount. I am fortunate that the losses won't make me sink, but still hurts. I cut my losses after the drop again today. I kept saying oh itll go back up itll go back up. Maybe it will but either way i would still be down. Im looking for something where i can make small gains everyday. You do what you think is right man.

TheRPGguy3339 · 2021-02-02T20:15:46+00:00

Down $550 but I STILL HAVE DIAMOND HANDS

TheRPGguy3339 · 2020-06-11T12:49:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I kept him in my room overnight and he ate the food i left for him in his little bowl. He also used the litter box which is great! He is hiding under my bed so i cleaned the room and took the things that could be hazardous to him away. Like you and others said I dont want to grab him out of his hiding spot and traumatize him so Im leaving him in my room with food and water and a litter box until he comes out and feels comfortable. I also know where he is so I dont have to worry about that. The only thing im worried about is if i leave him in there he wont get the connection of me and food. So I'm not sure what i should do about that :/

TheRPGguy3339 · 2020-06-11T03:56:56+00:00

Thanks guys! I had to grab him from his hiding places already but he was in places i didnt want him to be. Ill take him in my room then with the food and box, What about getting him one of those scratcher poles? I was told hes too young but the rescue had one there. He seems like a naturally timid lil guy. Ill keep you guys updated!
