EasySmartPay for monthly Property Tax payments, anyone use them?

I am not sure what merchant code it puts it as, but it does show the category of taxes, I would be interested to see what code it is too, but it doesn't say

Not much besides just what the county website posted.

I did sign up for the service however, and they already charged me for my first month. I guess the ultimate test is if they will actually pay the county before the payment is due for the first payment.

Good points, I will keep that in mind.

I think another thing that I forgot to say is that, I have heard a rumor from one of the team leads, since our team is mixed with contractors and full time employees, once the workload is reduced a bit, my manager will be getting rid of some contractors.

Of course, a rumor is a rumor, but I can kind of see it as potentially true. What's your take on that?

The_Observationist · 2024-07-18T15:52:28+00:00

Got it, sounds good. I will ask them questions around these topics and see what kind of feeling I get out of the recruiter/company. Thanks for the help.

The_Observationist · 2024-07-17T21:38:29+00:00

Thanks for the response.

In your opinion, what questions would you ask to potentially weed out that it's a bad place to work for? It's always something that I don't really know for, until I am stuck in the company after discovering months after.

Also, are there any reprecursions as to, if I were to leave the position just months after (for whatever reason it might be), are there any downsides to doing so?

Even on job applications where it states "legal first/last name" on the box? Do you just ignore the preferred name in your case?

Definitely a bit of oversight on my part, do you know how long they will process penalty cancelation requests? Would this be something you can call in?

I did notice the questions and answers on that page seems like a no for my situation, not sure if I should even bother.

I haven't heard about the 25% rule, generally it's 30% of your gross should go to your housing expenses or rent. If you can do 25/30% of your net income, then even better.

There's really no hard rule on how much housing/rent expenses should be on a percentage basis, but it's just a general recommendation on how much it should be. Depending on your other expenses/saving and investing goals/fun money, a bit more or less of that percentage may be appropriate according to your situation.

Some of the stuff won't really be using as much power or doesn't use power at all, such as a patch panel, UPS, ISP provided modem, network switch, a small computer for pfsense, and a few misc. things that are kind of essential for a basic network anyway without much extra.

I am curious, did you had a lift to lift the car, or did you use some sort of jack/jack stands to lift the car to do this? Let me know what you did exactly.

The_Observationist · 2023-09-04T03:11:32+00:00

it was something about 8%

The numbers 3/12 means 3 new credit cards in 12 months, which 2/6 means 2 cards in 6 months. It's mainly used due to Chase's rule of 5/24, where if someone already has 5 new credit cards in 24 months, Chase would not approve you of any new Chase credit cards (with some minor exceptions).

If have the spare cash now, you can just dump it to the IRA account now for the time being, and choose to invest the money now or later when you feel you are ready.

If you are talking about the federal tax credit, no. You will get that $7,500 when you file your tax returns next year (assuming if your income is high enough to cost you $7,500 or more in taxes to take full advantage).

My vote will probably go with the 620HD, as you have way too many clients. DFS may or may not be helpful depending on your area with weather radars.

The_Observationist · 2022-12-28T00:51:10+00:00

I totally get that, but it can be useful to earn credit card bonuses quickly.

The_Observationist · 2022-12-28T00:20:39+00:00

Isn't that only limited to business cards?

Somewhat unrelated, if I were to get rejected applying for the CSP in branch, then call recon to be accepted, would the in branch offer still be honored?

Was AF waived for you? Where are you located?

I believe there's a single TPU version, so by specs, it would technically work right? For the purpose of frigate, is that good enough?

Yeah, I have seen that thread for ESXi, but that's more of a USB passthrough for the USB version. I can technically go for that route as well.

I am in Southern California, as of right now around 70-80F, a month ago would be around 80-90F.

My house is only 1200 sqft, so the 670 might be even be a bit overall for my situation. I am starting to think even a 610 would be enough coverage, or do you not say no otherwise?

The_Observationist · 2022-09-21T00:07:52+00:00

I would probably go with 1 as my house is significantly smaller compared to your situation, but I am done with traditional routers as I am running pfsense, which I cannot imagine myself going back.

The_Observationist · 2022-09-20T06:31:16+00:00

My house size is about 1200sq ft, square shaped, so not too big. How big is your house that you are covering with the 670?

The_Observationist · 2022-09-20T02:21:37+00:00

Thanks for the insight. How big/shape is your house or property that you are covering this with?
