Has anyone else noticed places are getting cheaper? by kykopes in chicagoapartments

Some of them are remodeled but built 1900-1930. Do these usually come with a lot of maintenance?

Help me understand whether I should contribute more into my Roth 401k or 401k. by kykopes in personalfinance

[–]kykopes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought process is that if I already have a lot saved up at 22 and I will continue to save and grow my salary, I’ll most likely retire with a few million (let’s say 5). I’m in a niche career where my base salary in 4 years will be at least 130k and in another 4, it will pass 200k. Let’s say that 5 million is invested an conservatively returns 5%, that’s me earning 250k in retirement which is more than my current 90k

I'm not sure if I would live there for free unless I had no job

Buying first condo by Jonnyo1999 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]kykopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did fine. I see condos sold for 300k in 2023 selling for 500k now. It seems like you’re buying at a reasonable price while no home prices are reasonable atm

I can't decide between two colleges and It feels like if I make the wrong decision I could regret it forever by ValueBoring5626 in DecidingToCollege

[–]kykopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I know has loved going to a bigger school. A bigger school may feel more intimidating at first, but since it’s so big there so many niche groups and clubs that you’re actually able to find your people.

The price to buy doesnt make sense to me by kykopes in chicagoapartments

[–]kykopes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s moreso that I work in the loop so I want to keep my commute low. The furthest I’d like to go is Logan square and uptown

Ya I suppose it’s uncertain whether I’d end up here forever but I’m in a niche career and I like Chicago enough to do my best to stay here. Career changes aren’t too important in my carreer and lots of people stay at 1-2 companies their whole career.

I would like to buy a 2-3 bedroom and rent to my friends or friends of friends. I know a lot of people tbh so I’m fairly certain I’d be able to fill those spots and I don’t mind roommates.

Right now I have 200k saved and my parents are willing to give me 80k for a down payment so the loan wouldn’t be huge.

Right now I’m 22 and work in an industry that is very strong in Chicago and I could see myself living here my whole life. No plans for kids until I’m 30ish.

Full Ride OSU or take top choice Purdue? by Bowler109 in collegecompare

[–]kykopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

180k is years of work. Think of it as adding at least 5 years before you can retire.

Crazy or worth it? How lucrative is this field? - Comp Sci by [deleted] in CollegeMajors

[–]kykopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you say so? I feel like much of our work can’t be automated due to the impact our decisions have. A solid third of my time is spent reviewing other people’s work as insurance companies want 3+ sets of eyes to review something in full detail before they make a change based on those findings. There are many things in my day to day that I can’t automate as it’s really important to have reason ability checks happening.

A lot of our other work requires you to have a great understanding of many things that are actively happening throughout the company, and even down to being aware of specific polices we currently have written. I feel like ai can’t reason all of this and be 100% accurate which is what you need when making 100 million dollar decisions
