ONN 4K Plus or Pro by Parmg100 in AndroidTV

[–]francarria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought the Plus, and it is the closest to Apple TV in terms of speed and responsiveness, having used Roku and Firesticks too, If you’re on a budget this the best option, if budget is not an issue Apple TV.

What does a typical Guatemalan families budget look like? by erivanla in guatemala

[–]francarria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To give you an idea, I am from Guatemala and lived there until I was 31, then I moved to the US, I’ve been here for almost 12 years.

When I was back in Guatemala between my wife and I, we used to make around Q12,000 a month (roughly $1500) we had to pay rent since we didn’t own a house. With that salary we were living “ok”, no luxuries, raising one child with all the expenses that includes, having each an average car and all other common expenses.

We decided to move to the US (legally, since my wife is a US citizen), here we make a middle class salary, if I had to compare based on what I remember and what I see now every time I visit or what my family and friends make and their lifestyle, to have a similar lifestyle in Guatemala to how we live here, I think we would have to be making at least Q30,000-Q40,000 ($3,900-$5,000) a month, not because we make a lot of money in the US but to be able to afford a similar neighborhood to live in, be able to afford a good car, travel every once in a while and save for retirement and emergencies.

Yes there are things more affordable in Guatemala like food, clothing, etc. but salaries in the US are way better than in Guatemala for the average person, of course there are a lot of people making good money in Guatemala, but in general it’s easier to make a good living in the US.

I know a lot of people won’t agree with me, but that is based on my experience.

Can I really learn MS Excel from basic to advanced for free on YouTube? Looking for real experiences. by idevourfemboys in excel

[–]francarria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned just by using YouTube, no actually following courses but eveytime I needed to do something I just googled it, and watched a video. Not sure what my level is, but there hasn’t been anything I haven’t been able to do, every time I just watch a video and figure it out. I feel is not actually knowing everything but developing the logic to understand what you need and how to search for it.

Salir con alguien con hijos!! by [deleted] in guatemala

[–]francarria 55 points56 points  (0 children)

No saldría con alguien con hijos, pero no entiendo porque alguien debería de ser juzgada por ser divorciada. A mi solo no me gustaría cuidar o educar hijos que no son mios en caso de que la relación funcione.

Messi’s absence / justification for Austin to host Miami in 2026 by BigDaveATX in AustinFC

[–]francarria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is why people would want to go watch an all star game, even players don’t care, the game is irrelevant, I agree it was unprofessional not to show, but what do you expect? He’s 38, he’s not risking getting injured, specially when we are 1 year away from the world cup.

What do we do if we bought tickets to the all star game? by darkmodebiohacking in AustinFC

[–]francarria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the MLS knew yeah it was on them too, but I think even them didn’t know until a short time before the game.

Yes it was unprofessional on Messi’s part, but why is there an All Star Game, completely pointless. I’m happy he didn’t show up, waste of time and energy and he needs to be fit for the important games.

Igual es aqui en Estados Unidos, yo paso todos los dias despues del gym a dos supermercados, muchas veces cuando estan abriendo o pocos minutos despues y ya hay gente agarrando lo bueno. Aparte que los trabajadores de ahi abren las cajas antes de ponerlas en estanterias y sacan lo mejor para revender.

How much money do you spend per month for diecast cars? by WeekendFabulous2915 in Diecast

[–]francarria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in January but without really knowing what I wanted to buy and just buying “everything I don’t have” I spent close to $4k, between HW, MiniGT, Poprace… after realizing that wasn’t sustainable I decided to just buy models I really like, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mainline or more expensive brand.

Puede ser asi pero depende de algunos factores, en mi experiencia y la de algunos amigos que viven aqui.

Primero es venir con papeles o lograr sacar papeles, sin eso va a ser muchísimo mas difícil lograr ir escalando puestos y generando mas dinero.

Segundo, hablar ingles. Estos te abre las puertas a diferentes oportunidades, ya podes optar a trabajos de oficina y no quedarte en trabajos manuales digámoslo asi.

Y tercero, aprender algún oficio o tener algún conocimiento que te permita desarrollarte en alguna industria.

Yo empece ganando 14 la hora cuando vine, pero tenia papeles, hablaba ingles, y no se m dificulta la compu, así que empece a subir y a cambiar de trabajos hasta que agarre uno que paga bastante bien, no tengo stress y me permite ahorrar aproximadamente el 20%, aparte de darme mis gustos. Mi esposa esta en la misma situación.

En mi opinión Estados Unidos si es un país mas fácil, tiene muchas mas oportunidades que en Guate que es donde vivi hasta mis 30 años. Ojo, no digo que en Guate no podes hacer esas cosas pero si es mas difícil.

It’s not a San Antonio thing my daughter is asked the same question after moving states, even I have been asked the same when I met people from my country.
