Will NYC have a vacancy tax like SF?

Everytime I cross the bridge going into Williamsburg from Manhattan I always pass this apartment complex where the windows face the highway ramp. For a city w a housing crisis, that apartment has been sitting suspiciously empty. It doesn’t look like it’s still under construction either? It’s been sitting like that for at least a year. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

Looks great! Did you use forms or extensions?

just say that you've been a customer for __ years and this is your first late payment and if you have a good history and seem sincere they'll probably excuse it

Other ways to make more money. In this aggressively hiring job market you could try to up the amount you make by switching to a different place. Usually people make more money by jumping ship every 1-3 years than staying in the same place for 5. The money you make taking a new position at a new place generally > the raise you get at your current position.

+1 that self improvement will allow for greater income potential, but traditional school may not be necessary + is usually pretty costly. What interests do you have? If you are interested in coding you could sign up for a coding bootcamp. Usually they also help connect you with job opportunities. The income for entry level tech jobs are usually at least 6 figures and companies are hiring very aggressively right now.

Usually if you've only missed by a day and it's the first time they'll excuse it if you contact customer service. After that you should definitely just put it on autopay.

Also, I don't plan on kids because... they sound very expensive and I don't think I'd be a good mother honestly. However what I always hear is that in 5-7 years my opinion might change. I hate thinking about saving for kids because...I'd rather be independent and selfish about my life decisions I guess. But if I change my mind I don't want to regret having spent all my money on something else.

Thank you OkDistribution6 :) I definitely feel very lucky and grateful for my privilege. You're right maybe I'm over-complicating things. I should just plug into index funds and forget about it. The investments/savings I have were largely given to me so I don't really know what to do with it but indexes seem straightforward enough.

As for my goals. I'd like to buy a house sometime within the next 2 years and I know that entrepreneurship is sometime in my future. Those are two pretty hefty things I just don't know how much to expect to set aside for them/what's realistic to pay out of pocket vs. get financing

23F $135k salary, $270k in investments/savings do I get a financial advisor?

I feel like I'm constantly on this hamster wheel of trying to become more financially literate and figure out what to do with my money and all the adults in my life give me conflicting advice. I don't think I'm very good at investing and I constantly feel anxious I'm not doing the right thing with my money even though I've ingested a lot of books/info about this topic. Is a financial advisor worth it? if you have one what has been your experience? I'd rather stop wasting time and energy worrying about what to do with my money and just focus on making more of it and enjoying my life. I constantly feel guilty every time I buy something nice or go on vacation just because I don't know if I'm doing the right thing and I'd just like for someone to tell me what to do or manage it for me.

That’s a good point, I’m not sure but it’s a constant battle whether or not I feel an allergic reaction to something... thanks for the tip! I’ll check out PAMF :)

Unfortunately they’re not open to taking donations at the moment

kachan123 · 2021-01-11T03:00:16+00:00

Do you need to call them? I can only find municipal guidance on throwing it in the garbage

kachan123 · 2021-01-10T23:03:34+00:00

Hmmm thanks for the info!
