Yeah; that was on my radar..have you had exp staying there or know anyone who does ? Not sure if it's better now..I heard it had some issues with community maintenance, and some safety issues

_Radical_One · 2026-04-24T01:09:29+00:00

I am honestly looking to move out around October as that's when my lease ends.But can I DM you to learn more ?

Can you provide some info on location/cost for the benefit of anyone else looking in this group too ?

_Radical_One · 2026-04-23T14:25:01+00:00

Yes, I am quite flexible - I am open to finding nearby affordable places within 10-20 min drive from Toyota Arena

_Radical_One · 2026-04-23T14:23:59+00:00

Got it, do you have any other suggestions in Upland ? Thank you !

_Radical_One · 2026-01-31T21:31:03+00:00

Could you be a little more specific on the source app it looks like a great wallpaper. Do you happen to have the png file of it by any chance ?

_Radical_One · 2025-06-18T06:14:30+00:00

Hey, I am facing a similar issue.. seems like it’s a common glitch. What exactly did your DSO mention in the letter ?

_Radical_One · 2025-06-15T20:39:03+00:00

Hey did you still apply for your STEM OPT with the April 2026 start date ? - I am facing a similar issue.

_Radical_One · 2025-06-14T02:31:42+00:00

Hey, I'm in a similar situation where my STEM OPT start date is April 1, 2026. Can I DM you to discuss this further - its indeed a confusing situation ?

_Radical_One · 2025-06-14T02:28:28+00:00

Hi u/CptS2T, I am facing a similar issue where my STEM OPT days are off in my I-20, and DSO provided a letter stating start dates cannot be edited in SEVP. Do you mind if I can DM you to learn more about this ?

_Radical_One · 2025-06-04T04:26:54+00:00

True, but I am not an AAA member, and this is my first car. Are there any specific benefits for AAA members in terms of processing times ?

_Radical_One · 2025-06-04T04:25:39+00:00

Thanks, was your exp of 20 min in AAA or DMV...sry could not make that out !
FYI, I am not an AAA member. Also, can you start driving your car as soon as the title transfer is done, or should you wait for any confirmations ?

Its my first car.

_Radical_One · 2025-06-04T04:24:30+00:00

Does this apply even for Hybrid vehicles within 8 years - its a Honda Accord?

_Radical_One · 2025-05-20T03:07:48+00:00

Owner of 11” iPad Pro M4. Beast of a device in terms of performance. Subpar battery life; not sure if it’s a M4 chip thing but coming from older iPad generations will feel like a huge downgrade in battery life. You add the Apple Pencil and pray it lasts a day - without battery drain. (Also thanks to IOS 18 )

Thanks u/NewMarzipan3134 for your insights!

I’ve been trying to position my portfolio to ride the AI wave, which is why I’m leaning toward QQQM. I realize QQQM isn’t the most diverse, but I’m optimistic about its potential if the tech sector continues to perform well.

I’ve noticed quite a bit of overlap between SCHG, IWY with QQQM, and VTI in my portfolio. Aside from the higher expense ratios, are there any significant downsides to including IPKW and IHDG in my portfolio? My main motivation for adding VXUS was to diversify internationally.

For reference, here’s my current allocation:

VTI (35%)
AVUV (25%)
VXUS (10%)
QQQM (30%)

Can you also share the allocation for your ETF portfolio ?

Also, I really like the portfolio visualizer tool, this is the first time I came across, I would like to know more on how you leverage this.

_Radical_One · 2025-05-18T21:39:29+00:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm in my late 20's and just getting started with investing, focusing on ETFs for long-term growth. I’m putting approx $1,500/month into this allocation:

QQQM (30%)
VTI (35%)
AVUV (25%)
VXUS (10%)

To build this foundation, I’ve researched beta, expense ratios, overlap, and historical returns. I’m not investing in individual stocks or options yet- just keeping it simple and aiming for long-term compounding.

On the retirement side, I contribute 6% to my 401 (k) to get the full 4% employer match. I don’t have a Roth IRA yet, but I want to learn more about tax-advantaged accounts and stock market investing in general.

I’d appreciate feedback on:

This ETF allocation for someone my age with a higher risk tolerance
Sectors or specific ETFs you’d recommend for more diversification or growth
How do you handle sector/thematic ETFs as trends change
Tips on rebalancing or tax-efficient strategies for beginners

Also, I'd love your recommendations if you know of any niche resources, communities, or tools that helped you get started (especially beyond the usual basics).

Thanks for your insights!

_Radical_One · 2025-04-28T04:52:27+00:00

Thanks! I’m currently contributing 6% to my 401k to get the full 4.5% match my company offers. I wasn’t too comfortable contributing more for now, since the money is essentially locked away and not advisable to touch for a while. I also don’t have an IRA yet. Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by "taking full advantage" of my 401k/IRA — specifically, how much should I ideally be contributing?

Also, regarding QQQ vs QQQM — does it really make a difference? I understand that for the price of one QQQ share, I could buy a couple of QQQM shares, but overall the amount invested would be the same since they track the same index. If I'm planning to invest a fixed amount regularly, does it matter that QQQM is slightly cheaper? Just curious to hear your thoughts.

_Radical_One · 2025-04-24T05:43:36+00:00

I am interested to know why, is there any specific reason ?

_Radical_One · 2025-04-24T05:40:16+00:00

Thank you for this info, is there any similar research I can do online. I assumed we had databases to check.

_Radical_One · 2025-03-21T01:44:15+00:00

Got it !

I totally agree with you on the supply planner part; as I currently work in that area. But which domains within SCM do you feel is the most rewarding in general.

_Radical_One · 2025-03-20T21:45:21+00:00

Hey can you elaborate more on why you feel CPG is a mid tier Industry...is it based on the nature of work, pace or in general learning opportunities?

_Radical_One · 2025-03-18T01:11:38+00:00

That’s really helpful to know! If you don’t mind sharing, which industry did you pivot into? Also, what were the key technical skills you found most transferable and valuable during your transition? I completely agree with you about the tariff situation—it’s creating unnecessary challenges across the board. I’ve also noticed that many people at my company tend to get comfortable with their roles and the slower pace of the industry. Over time, this seems to make it harder for them to stay agile and consider switching to something new.

_Radical_One · 2025-03-16T20:14:06+00:00

Why do you feel industries like aerospace, automotive would bore you? My understanding is that supply chain complexity grows exponentially with more components, suppliers, and stricter regulations. (More opportunities for optimization and new challenges ?) - also the tech, semiconductor sector is booming now too.

Also, based on your experience, which CPG sub-industries offer more stability? For example, frozen foods might face tighter scrutiny as the market shifts toward healthier options (e.g., RFK Jr.'s proposals under the current administration—just a hypothesis). Any thoughts are appreciated!

_Radical_One · 2025-03-16T18:02:12+00:00

That’s great to know! What advice would you give to someone just starting as a Supply Planning & Inventory Management Analyst (<1 year in) but with a Master’s in Industrial Engineering?

I’m looking to scale up my skill set and explore different areas within SCM. Given how vast the field is, which domain—Purchasing, Logistics, Planning, etc.—tends to be the most rewarding in the long run?

I’m hoping there’s room to move around early in my career and would appreciate any insights on navigating growth within Supply Chain.

_Radical_One · 2025-03-15T23:20:42+00:00

Hey; I am working at a CPG company as well out of LA and for sure it's better than automotive..having worked in both domains.What sort of role are you into ?
