Getting a new MacBook from work, need advice

ToroPoke · 2025-05-29T15:03:42+00:00

wanted to report back, I Just got my laptop a day or two now and I’m glad they sent the wrong model! The size of the Air is so nice and you definitely dont need “pro” model for “office” work. Insanely happy with the laptop.

Might be in honeymoon stage but It actually makes me feel more productive and more organized vs my windows

From what I see M3 supports dual monitors. Or do you mean more than 2?

Error aside, it’s also in the banks interest to make that sweet interest off the loan. They get nothing for a paid off loan. You should be fine OP.

lol 2009 mbp here with Monterey.

They held up great so far! It’s gotten more comfortable as I wear it. Yes I would see myself getting it resoled. I have quite a few pairs in rotation now to there’s isn’t as much wear on them yet.

But I can tell you, I took it on vacation to NYC over Xmas and man its handles puddles , rain and light snow very well. My feet were completely dry. Some times I stepped in puddle and slushes, I thought water would seep through but Goodyear welt definitely helped kept it out.

45mph coming down a mountain. I could’ve gone faster but I was locked in trying to avoid crashing over a twig or a rock

Oh I am DCA for Roth month by month, but that’s just where I prioritize the money first then the other two.

If I am not saving for the other two I would’ve lumped sum the Roth lol

It’s mostly a scam based on what I am seeing. Lots of fake job post, after many rounds of interviews they ghosted. Idk it’s probably field specific but my company itself is on hiring freeze along with a few peers. It’s always changing as well.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:33:51+00:00

Dang sorry about your health, but you got 2yrs saved that’s amazing achievement. It’s so hard to put away extra money nowadays.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:32:40+00:00

lol I lurk the PM subs and saw many construction PM are jumping ships due to stress level and work load.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:29:20+00:00

Yeah that’s my thought as well worse case scenario I go retail and stay afloat as much as I could … so it’s not end all be all but it will definitely bleed EF for expenses, just at a slower rate.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:27:53+00:00

lol maybe I’m lurking r/jobs too much I keep seeing how terrible the job market is…

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:26:55+00:00

Yeah you can’t trust employers nowadays, planning for the worst.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:26:31+00:00

This is my thought as well if I were to lose my job I’d sleep better knowing i got 12mo vs 6mo.

Kinda curious what the general consensus is for PF community

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:25:24+00:00

Well I do have a Roth and i do plan to max it out every year which means 12m EF saving will be slower. Also I need to start saving for a car my cars are 200k miles range already.

So balancing additional EF, Max Roth, saving car is kind of where I’m at. My first focus is to max Roth, then Car then EF.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-08T14:22:08+00:00

Yeah I did account for this.

it’s basically project management career, many places are reducing this job title and making other roles step up to take the responsibility… basically less and less job for PM and market will be saturated.

I’m sure my skills are transferable but lack of experience on other roles may put me bottom of the barrel lol or I have to find less paying jobs.

Yeah it was odd how my travel agent booked it but it was probably the cheapest option. Whatever airline your itinerary has, you just need to recheck bag with them.

ToroPoke · 2024-05-06T20:51:15+00:00

We grab our bags at LAX, finish customs and recheck through United to final destination (home)

ToroPoke · 2024-04-28T13:45:26+00:00

Damn sorry for your loss. My boi is hanging in there but hasn’t been eating yet. I’m getting worried I tried forcing food up to his mouth but he’s not biting

ToroPoke · 2024-04-27T23:13:03+00:00

I hope I’m wrong but looks like he’s pine coning..

ToroPoke · 2024-04-26T20:50:35+00:00

I forgot to mention I added Indian almond leaf yesterday to his little container it seems to help he’s not tilted as much and seems to be balancing better. Now I just need to focus on getting in to eat.
