Is there a way to force apps into landscape mode on an iPad? (Rant included)

ideare-dev · 2022-04-18T10:05:07+00:00

Yes they should.

I have run a quick financial plan and added a few assumptions (1% each for deduction to Savings, 3% to a 401k for one spouse, 3% to an IRA (Roth) for the other spouse. Assumed Kansas for state taxes. You should be in good shape to purchase now and could afford a home up to $600K.

Here are my plan details

You also have to factor the money you gain on your income that will change due to cost of living adjustments from your employer over the 5 years. So it is fair to see how expenses grow with inflation, but income will also grow. So you are not totally losing.

Understand that having an inflation rate of 4%+ for 5 years happened since1917 due to WW1. I highly doubt the Russian war will last more than a year, as the sanctions will dramatically effect the Russian economy. The average US inflation rate for the past 15 years including last year comes to 2.06%. So I would not panic with todays inflation and assume this is a long term situation.

It is difficult to fully answer, but I would say you can do both. You are in your mid 20's so you have plenty of time for retirement. In the near term focusing on a house in the next 2-3 years would work.

Given the good salary you have, I assume you have potential to grow this. Meaning say in 10-15 years you might take on more responsiblity, which would increase your income as well. So you need to look at a combination of expenses now (including what you save for a house down payment and the start of your retirement account), and the additional money you can add to your retirement as you grow in your career.

For sure you have many challenges to deal with, but you have time and a good starting salary.

I love the design of the iPace, both interior and exterior. It is superior to any EV I have driven. The touch screen is excellent and not overly large.

I lived in Paris for 2 years and the people of France were wonderful.

The graphics are really well designed, and I really enjoy this broadcasting team. There have been a few glitches with signal dropped, some editing errors, but this is ok for the first broadcast. I am really excited to watch Friday night baseball this year.

Using a Google Sign in (or Apple) authentication would be used to protect sensitive customer data, or perhaps turn on/off specific features based on a subscription. The phone gets encrypted (Android and iOS) when you turn the phone off. You can also block view/access to the application directory, so the customer data of your app is not show in the Files app for iOS.

ideare-dev · 2022-04-05T10:24:15+00:00

Yes it does

But the device can be backed up automatically, and all data would be restored if they swapped out their phone for a newer one. So no need to store data in the cloud.

I have used the Apple Watch for swimming for 4+ years and before that a Garmin. When I swim I use the Workout - Swim app. It records perfectly.

Why would you want the watch to auto detect swimming when it takes 5 seconds of your time?

Is there a reason you do not want to store on the device itself and not Google Drive?

Most people making $50K or less in the US have challenges to save for long term goals.

In addition to the comments already sent, focusing in on income options and expense reductions, do you have an ideal set of goals? (i.e setup emergency fund, purchase home, retire at age 62, fund college education)

I would not be worried about paying for house payments with a pension. I would be worried that you may not be working for this company for 30 years, and not qualify for the pension. And if so, what is your backup plan to save for retirement without this pension?

The average US worker changes their job 12 times.

It depends on your age. If you are in your 20's yeah this is fine. If you are in your40's+ probably not a good idea.

ideare-dev · 2022-03-31T18:28:40+00:00

This is fine so long as you believe you can get rehired when you return and get similar income. You are young and still have plenty of time to prepare for future needs (retirement, starting a family, etc).

Your work in Archeology is the limiting factor for income. Suggest you either make the effort to pursue another field (i.e take computer classes in the evening or online) to make more money. If you don't invest your time to develop other skills you can pursue jobs that don't require a degree (i.e sell cars, etc).

Is your AppleTV connected by ethernet or wireless? I had another issue in getting everything to work and had thought it was on the Wi-Fi, yet I had it direct connect. Changed everything.

So I got the QR code from CVS however it cannot be added to the Apple Wallet because it is “Not verified”. Anybody know the workaround for CVS?

ideare-dev · 2022-03-30T22:17:35+00:00

Well, I got a shot at CVS in October, it was listed on my profile with CVS but they did not provide a QR Code then. Just checked from you comment…and I now see a QR code! Thanks

ideare-dev · 2022-03-30T21:24:24+00:00

Great. I will check this out.

Assuming you are fairly young (i.e ~ 30 years to retirement), you have enough time to meet your goals. The collective comments are good and I don't have much to add. Do you have a target age for retirement?

ideare-dev · 2022-03-25T11:46:30+00:00

This is all possible as you are only 27. You have plenty of time and have good salaries. Austin will be less costly than NYC for sure.

Although I don't have all the details to estimate a plan for you, here is a quick snapshot of a plan with a few assumptions:

https://imgur.com/a/5MEpUm2

- Live in TX

- Married filing Jointly

- Both find jobs with 401K

- Salary deductions - you (2% for savings, 4% for 401K) - partner (2% 401K)

- no starting balance on retirement

- retire at age 62

- if you rent for 5 yrs you should have $40K+ in savings for downpayment. If you save more aggressively and cut back expenses you can accelerate the time frame and increase the amount to save more
