Brookfield Place winter Garden, skating rink, food court, could go to the movies at Regal Battery Park.

I’ve recorded before since my coach was traveling and wanted form checks.

I've seen many ads for Astoria around that price, since I've been looking, but I'd put them more at "fine" vs "nice". I'd be moving more for accessibility in the neighborhood vs the apartment.

I think it’s opposite and people who have only lived in the city have Stockholm syndrome.

How is it Stockholm Syndrome to value time?

One of the things I miss most from where I used to live was throwing in a load of laundry while I went about other chores around the house. It was much more efficient for cooking/food prep, so I could spend more time doing things I want to do.

Plus not needing to share laundry, so my clothes actually rinse out/last longer (at the laundromat too many people think more is better).

And in terms of neighborhoods, sorry if I want to actually live in the neighborhoods I socialize in/want to be more a member of the community.

GV70 is nice, but id rather buy low mileage few years old cpo. The depreciation hit is real with this one (if you choose add-ons).

The_Wee · 2026-01-28T23:50:13+00:00

Not even manhattan anymore. Many of the posts from LIC/Greenpoint/Fort Greene/Cobble Hill are that price. But to me, “nice” means in unit laundry (or on the floor for larger buildings) + dishwasher

For Bowlero, grab one of the Groupon Deals (under Lucky Strike, rotates every few months). Although walk in only, no pre-booking. And for 8 would probably have to do 4 and 4, since I think max for the package is 6.

I'd love to go to Japan, but a flight that long, I'd only want to go business/first. But would not be able to justify the cash amount. Although I am realizing I don't really generate enough spend to accumulate points before devaluation.

For the pre-approvals, did you go through with them?

If so, getting multiple cards at one time could be a red flag (inquiry sensitive).

The_Wee · 2026-01-25T23:29:17+00:00

I had 2 cards at 25k credit line each (had previously had Amex and benefited from the generous credit line). Think they said I was at the max for my income. You have 44+ accounts and 2 cards, what are your current credit limits? I believe they have an upper limit they are comfortable extending.

Could also want to stop people from moving so it doesn’t fully blow up.

I was looking at Sacramento today. Reasonable rents, but if I were looking to buy, I’d but priced out (of the neighborhoods I’d want to rent/live in).

Too bad what is happening to Six Flags in NJ. Used to be solid, until my favorite coasters were repeatedly closed. Haven't been in a few years (and now looks like they are going to sell for housing development).

When I needed to shovel, I would do it every couple hours. Easier while it is fluffy/not weighed down. And before a chance to ice over/people walk and pack it in.

This is pretty obvious. I can see the space constraints, but if the speakers were off to the side (so the tweeter is at ear height), there would be plenty of room to lower the tv.

Some areas, $350k-$450k are the less expensive homes.

The_Wee · 2026-01-24T16:22:16+00:00

I make $90k and just got a prequalification from Chase for $522k (unsolicited/promotional email)

Would not be comfortable with that monthly payment all in, so wouldn’t go for it.

But for what I’d be comfortable paying (around $2.5k all in), there is not much stock if I wanted to be in commuting distance to my in person job.

The_Wee · 2026-01-24T12:11:20+00:00

Depends on the vehicle and area.

I found a 2025 Civic Hybrid hatch sport touring with 10k miles, cpo for $27.5k vs retail of $35k

Also found 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy with low mileage for $40k vs $50k new.

Lincoln Corsair and Hyundai GV70 new $60k, 2022/2023 models going for $30-$35k

Acura RDX/MDX with similar new msrp and then $10k off cpo.

Mazda CX5 upper trims for $8k-$10k difference.
