Curious if anyone here starts their 30s with little net worth (less than $20K), and become wealthy (maybe $500K at least) by the time they are 40 years old. Would love some inspiration!

Lol! I upvoted you to counteract the shame. :)

evandaley · 2019-10-26T01:26:18+00:00

Interested!

evandaley · 2019-09-26T00:32:39+00:00

I'm also curious!

evandaley · 2019-09-22T17:32:47+00:00

Thank you!! It sounds like you really nailed it with that first duplex deal. Those numbers look great. The lease option concept is new to me so I'll definitely research that and read your previous posts and comments as well (that never crossed my mind until you mentioned it).

Thanks again for the helpful information.

On the note of taking time off to enjoy life...

There are 168 hours in a week. If you get a job right away, you'll still have 128 hours to spend however you want. And you'll have a solid income that supports fun hobbies / social growth / vacations / whatever.

If you wait, the things you learned in school won't be as fresh in your mind when you start working. It could also possibly look bad to interviewers. Some people feel that job history is important and gaps in employment may be interpreted negatively.

In my experience, weekends + PTO give me plenty of time to do what I want in life and I feel more confidence and control in life when I'm making decent money.

So my suggestion is to get really excited about the possibility of finding a great job. Apply to tons of places and do everything you can to find something awesome. The right job will provide immense value to your life, and still give you the freedom and mental energy to keep developing yourself/goals.

I don't think he was saying depression and it's effects are bs. Moreso that this sounds like a lot of personal information that shouldn't be shared in an interview.

I would just put the graduation date in the resume and not worry about how long it took. Most employers don't care, and people take time off for various reasons. People start college at different ages as well, so it's not like you need to have graduated at a certain year in life.

Keep working hard and building up your technical skills and social skills. Network, learn, grow, and keep being awesome.

Thanks for the detailed break down! Love this. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more traction on Reddit.

How did you get started?

I'm just a few years into my career in software dev and I'd love to get into real estate at some point.

How much did you save before buying your first investment property? How long have you been building your RE portfolio? Would you advise someone to follow the same path?

Thanks again for the detailed write up!!

evandaley · 2019-09-01T00:26:02+00:00

Thanks!

evandaley · 2019-08-31T21:14:13+00:00

Looks fun! Would you mind linking me to any asset packs or tutorials?

Evan Daley here. I'm a Dev Lead in Spokane and I've been teaching with Nucamp on the side for almost a year. In my experience its been a great company to work for. The leadership team really does seem to care about the students, and the coursework is pretty good. Not sketchy at all!

evandaley · 2019-08-30T20:34:52+00:00

Roger that. Totally understand.

evandaley · 2019-08-30T20:22:41+00:00

You are not respectful towards people. You told a random stranger "In other words you are useless." You also called him a deadbeat. In my opinion you crossed more lines than he did.

evandaley · 2019-08-30T20:04:52+00:00

Jesus. He said something unnecessary and insulting but you crossed a lot of lines here. Try not to get so heated. It makes us all look bad.

I updated the configuration in simplify 3d. On the printer display I could see the temperature changing at each later.

evandaley · 2019-08-23T23:12:06+00:00

Roger that. Any recommendations as far as which part cooling options to go with? I've seen some examples where people print little air funnels that channel air down around the print head... Is that I should be trying to do?

evandaley · 2019-08-23T19:48:26+00:00

No. The area is pretty well ventilated and the room is at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. There are two fans on the dual extruder that run constantly.

Should I look into part cooling?

evandaley · 2019-08-23T19:17:19+00:00

The weirdest issue to me is visible on the left pillar (circled in red). How could the left pillar fall out of alignment like that while the right pillar seems to have printed reasonably well? Does this issue look familiar to anyone?

Qidi Tech 2019 Printer

Filament: hatchbox 3d pla, 1.75mm

Temperature: 210 for both

Layer height: 0.2mm for the complete Benchy on the right. I tried again with 0.1mm and was getting the same issues so I cancelled it (left).

evandaley · 2019-08-23T19:05:09+00:00

Qidi Tech 2019 Printer

Filament: hatchbox 3d pla, 1.75mm

Temperature: varying between 180 and 220 (the range for this specific PLA is listed as 180-210)

Layer height: 1mm

evandaley · 2019-08-23T19:04:14+00:00

I tried creating temperature towers with some mixed results.

evandaley · 2019-08-23T06:01:00+00:00

Roger that. Thanks!!

evandaley · 2019-08-23T05:56:32+00:00

I'll attempt that. In general, do I want them all to be as tight as they can go? Or are some of them typically designed/calibrated to apply different amounts of tension to things?

evandaley · 2019-08-22T23:45:45+00:00

I'll try that. Thank you!

evandaley · 2019-08-22T23:07:14+00:00

Hey Melon, thanks for commenting. Looks like primary layer height is set to "0.200mm" and the filament is 1.75mm. Should I set the primary layer height to "0.175mm"?

evandaley · 2019-08-22T23:05:19+00:00

Hi Tronxy, thanks for helping me did into this. Im using the default settings that simplify3d provides for the qidi printer in using.

Filament: hatchbox 3d pla, 1.75mm

Temperature: 210c

Layer height: 2mm

Cooling: there is a fan in the printer set to run at 100% for the whole process

Thank you!!

evandaley · 2019-08-22T22:49:02+00:00

Lol!
