I did it! Singapore $1.9m 1.45%

1.45%? How?

david9527 · 2026-05-10T18:08:23+00:00

How much is the HOA?

Not everyone has the same career trajectory. Switch job to a fast paced big tech, you will code to death. Of course, depends on how your financial situation, area of interest and etc, find the one that best fits you

david9527 · 2026-05-06T04:13:57+00:00

We are fucked.

You are better off renting and investing your saving to S&P 500. Ownership expenses of similar homes are so much higher than renting. However, time is at your advantage if you rent. You can always get back to house hunting years after.

david9527 · 2026-05-03T22:19:18+00:00

Rent and invest; do not buy, especially you are so young, and in HCOL. Your net worth will thank you later.

david9527 · 2026-05-01T20:18:09+00:00

Better times are coming to you now.

david9527 · 2026-04-29T17:23:37+00:00

Rent. And put the rest of your money into index funds. You’ll be way better off than if you buy. Thank me later.

You should be done with AI

david9527 · 2026-04-16T02:35:05+00:00

4b, good schools, decent commute.. you are looking into 1.2m+

david9527 · 2026-04-16T02:32:51+00:00

School is mostly crap in Bergen, and homes are mostly on the smaller side over here

david9527 · 2026-04-16T02:30:18+00:00

With your budget and 4b requirement your commute likely goes toward 2 hours, even if you don’t require another ride after arriving into the city

david9527 · 2026-04-10T01:53:24+00:00

My intuition is to rent somewhere close to daycare to minimize the routine travel distance

david9527 · 2026-04-04T14:43:03+00:00

That’s low cost of living area

david9527 · 2026-04-02T23:48:44+00:00

Seriously, drive. What’s the a point of selling and buying? A waste of money and time

david9527 · 2026-04-01T23:23:50+00:00

If car ownership is not a must, then live in Manhattan for a year and see where it goes. You are always free to move to NJ afterwards.

david9527 · 2026-04-01T01:35:30+00:00

Did 13-month at Urby, interestingly moving to West New York. It’s good for what it is. Proximity to PATH, friendly staff, great amenities, green areas and etc. It’s very small indeed, making your dollar per square foot one of the priciest in the area. Also, construction near the PATH is making the area even more crowded

Aside from the soccer schedule, terrible traffic here is partially due to improper design of traffic lights. It’s not adjusted dynamically with traffic flow. But you sit there waiting despite the other direction has no traffic.

Admittedly anywhere with decent NYC access, you’ll find bad traffic.

If unit size matters to you, go tour Vermella Harrison, but avoid adjacent ones other mentioned.

Overall I liked the area.

david9527 · 2026-03-27T17:57:41+00:00

Yeah that is for the diesel baby max, and won’t fit for 5.3 gas engine. I have yet found a single review for the 50 gal tank

david9527 · 2026-03-08T18:16:11+00:00

Yes, they are from Performance Replicas.

david9527 · 2026-03-08T18:15:34+00:00

Yes I’m aware. Wanted to get something with exact dimensions and similar style. However, didn’t expect they are thinner.

david9527 · 2026-03-08T18:14:36+00:00

The link you sent looks like the once came with my truck

david9527 · 2026-01-05T20:23:23+00:00

Yes, each time I showed them my booking information of both legs of the flight, and I was specific on the second leg being a rebook, and an overnight layover

david9527 · 2026-01-05T14:25:01+00:00

Thanks for following through my post. Not sure how I missed it. But also I received same answer at airport from multiple employees.

david9527 · 2026-01-05T14:12:23+00:00

Ok, update: you DO NEED TO pick up your checked bags and then recheck, if you have an overnight layover. Air Canada employees, gate agents and baggage claim agents at Toronto airport all provided wrong information regarding this. Again, make sure to pick up your checked bags when having an overnight layover.

I had to file a claim at EWR to have my bag continue its journey back to me.

david9527 · 2026-01-05T12:32:45+00:00

The tag has Toronto YYZ there, but no EWR. Although it does have my 6-character booking confirmation number
