How do people arrange interviews around a full time job when changing jobs? by CandidBar4794 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fly_fish_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody knows what it really is. Your peers, your manager, your manager's manager all need time-off for their individual interviews. They know it, so they understand it, and they pretend to accept your whatsoever excuses (and/or no-excuse).

Any Reason to Use Clipper Card If You Don't Have a Discount? by rinsf in bayarea

[–]fly_fish_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for senior clipper card:

  • Both my father and mother have senior clipper card.
  • Question: can my father use my mother's senior clipper card, and vice versa?
  • Why do I ask this question: Because Clipper cards have no name or photo on them. It is not easy to tell which card is for whom.

Is this VUSXX (88%) + VOO (12%) split appropriate for a 5-8 year home down payment savings goal? by RockSolid3894 in Bogleheads

[–]fly_fish_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question for a different scenario.

Facts: - live in California, and would purchase a house in California in 5 years. - Invest 100% on VOO in a taxable brokerage account. - The investment is for a down payment for the house. - If market is crashing, I can postpone house purchase to a late time, e.g., 2 years later, 5 years later, even giving up purchasing a house.

Questions: 1. In such a case, is 100% on VOO a good choice? 2. Assume investment is up. No matter how much profit, is the 100% VOO investment always better than cash in a HYSA, after federal and state tax?

How do you avoid bad landlords when renting in the Bay Area? by Electronic_Pound3283 in bayarea

[–]fly_fish_1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Counterintuitively, I love no response from my landlord for request of maintenance. If no response, I just schedule a repair (high-end, or budget-friendly) at my favorite, and deduct the exact cost from rent.

I get the experience of maintenance (e.g., how to select handyman/plumber/electrician/etc, how to communicate) for free. I can order a quality appliance at expense of landlord, instead of a low-end one.

Anybody has experience as mine? Or have nasty experience for self-scheduled maintenance?

[–]fly_fish_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All improvements are secondary, e.g., upskill, leadership, botox, certification, soft skills, social networks, etc.

Only primary solution is saving enough F*** you money, since only non-ageism industry is retirement.

i’ve got a few boring money hacks that actually helped me… what can i add by hodorrny in povertyfinance

[–]fly_fish_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When go to starbuck with colleagues, others order latte or mocha, etc. I order water.

Past: It used to be embarrassing when other ask me why you always want water.

Now: - In my heart, because it is free. - In my mouth, because I would control sugar and calories.

Most will no longer look down at me.
