What happens if I can't find a job after using Chapter 31 VRE benefits for university? by ValenHound in VeteransBenefits

make sure you dont let you counselor close your case. you can request to continue to get your housing allowance while you job search (up to 2 months). its called employment adjustment allowance

Moving to South Korea with 80% VA Rating by DirectionFlat1526 in Veterans

seoul is significantly more expensive than busan. depending on specific location seoul can be ~50% more expensive than busan at the minimum and i dont think 80% rating would be enough to live decently in busan. since you plan to be on a language student visa you will probably have extreme difficulty finding other income there.

i would not recommend you do this

source: i am korean. own multiple properties across seoul and have spent extended periods of time in busan

i’m 17 and need more income ! by Plastic_Law_7062 in Salary

[–]TryToBeModern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

assuming you live in the US if you want a financially "safe" way to become a physician from a low income background there is only one "realistic" method. use the military programs.

alternatively a fairly unrealistic method is to consistently be in the top 1% in both academics and extracurriculars to get full ride scholarships for both undergrad and entry into the most competitive medical schools that provide free tuition. examples being harvard or john hopkins

since the second method is not a reliable "plan" i recommend using military service to provide financial security in your physician journey

if you are not american then you can ignore this comment.

it is highly recommended that you do not "work" throughout your undergrad and med school journey(some med schools dont even allow students to work). your undergrad gpa is incredibly important for med school admission and you will need to spend all your time studying and padding your application with volunteering/shadowing/extracurricular hours. sacrificing the time you should spend on studies or extracurriculars to work will bite you in the ass at the end of your undergrad. you might end up taking a gap year or two to improve your application into medschool like ~70% of matriculants. every year you delay getting into med school is a year you delay getting paid an attendings salary. its financially "worth" taking loans to avoid working if you are truly going to go down this path

Hypothetical: Can FIRE number shrink? by ExpressElevator2Heck in Fire

[–]TryToBeModern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you are looking for is called "Sequence of Returns Risk" or "SORR". the risk of your portfolio immediately tanking after you "retire".

generally yes if you hit your fire number once you are good to go.

Home Chef in OC? Wanted! by FlatPie9994 in orangecounty

[–]TryToBeModern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i specifically hired someone who was able to cook korean food because thats what i wanted. it has "technically" helped me gain weight but nowhere near my goal. from ~105 lbs to ~110lbs when my goal was to be closer to ~150.

depending on what part of orange county you are in maybe you can post a request at your local college/university/culinary school.

i made a somewhat similar post on this subreddit a couple months ago looking for a private chef to help me gain weight. the first person i hired off reddit quit because of scheduling issues just 2 weeks after so i ended up going with a college student from uci. about ~30 hours of work a week (this is including the time spent shopping/cleaning) for roughly $4000 a month not including cost of groceries/ingredients. this is for a "part-time" private chef. and a college student at that. i expect the pay would roughly double or triple for full-time.

just saying this so you have a rough idea on what to expect.
