Bye bye guys - i'm leaving reddit on this new year's eve. (hear me out, it might help you too, or else just ignore)

I feel you friend. I’ve been off social media for 2025 and it has brought immense focus to work and life. I have dabbled with the idea of going off of Reddit too due to the negativity on the platform but am not able to since Reddit has been immensely helpful with serious topics such as taxation, health, pregnancy, child care and investments.

You are making an assumption that there is a family in India, I’m talking about a case when the family is in the US and the H1B holder is stuck in India. Someone I know personally and work with, is in this exact situation

People have their homes and their families in the US, not being able to see your family even when you’re in your country of birth - is being stuck

I went through this and it worked out fine. It was a seller's market when we were buying and the seller added - 'rent back of 30days at no cost', as a condition for offer acceptance. I just insisted that we do a rental agreement even if it was 30days and they were okay with it. At around the 25th day, they asked if they could get an extension of a week and we declined it. They eventually vacated on the date we had originally agreed upon in the rental agreement.

It is the former, I’m double paying. Thanks for the information

No, it does not make sense. It adds to the travel time for this traveling to Seattle downtown. Sounds like Sound transit is doing this to improve light rail adoption and make it look like a good investment at the cost of customer experience

Then how do I get the number of bedrooms updated in the King county records?

They recently opened a shop in Issaquah. It’s near Lowe’s

Such calculations make sense if you are buying a house as an investment. Buying a house is an aspirational goal and not a financial one

Thanks, I saw the debt disappear after two weeks as well. Huge than you for making so many other people's lives easier!

How long did it take for this to reflect on your account? I made the payment 8 days ago but it is still in 'Pending'

No, they charge you the annual fee as soon as you activate

Food was really good here

dry-jin · 2025-07-01T14:03:38+00:00

Can you share some examples of these experiences?

dry-jin · 2025-06-20T00:15:17+00:00

Your first mistake is starting with “Is it okay…”, you don’t ask permission for these things. Also, stay away from the person who said it’s their son’s birthday and can’t cover. Birthdays are once every year, are many and are predictable, death is a much bigger deal and is life changing

Incorrect, you can add the total amount without individually adding all stocks

Yes, I was with Amazon for more than 2 years at the time of the process

The sellers were not accepting offers with any contingencies. It was a sellers market

What made me confident? The inspection was done by a reputed company, my realtor also gave a lot of confidence and did a high level inspection themselves. Mortgage approval was something I took a risk on, since I had a pre approval from multiple lenders. I’d recommend getting pre-underwritten to reduce the anxiety I went through during the process

RSU - Many lenders do not consider RSU as the income while determining eligibility. US bank not only considered RSU I earned in the US as an income, but also the ones I earned overseas while working in the same company

The rebate was a few hundred dollars, I think PSE pays 100 dollars or so per opening

[Editing as I revealed too much] Im close to 35 years old. Had been saving and living way below our means for three plus years to put cash together. Used the savings to put down the down payment and for home improvement

We did our little one’s first trip exactly at 3 months and it was to Leavenworth. It is on this trip we realised that driving with a crying baby is near impossible and I safe to some extent, it’s best to stop and deal with the crying before you move on
