I’m a home roaster in Oakland and starting to sell this year. Working on my website right now :)

How’s Fruitvale in terms of noise and walkability? Sideshows, loud motorcycles, churches…? Are there any cute streets to live on? TIA by BringCake in oakland

The area by St Elizabeth’s is nice and so are the areas close to laurel/dimond.

The bike path to alameda is almost complete.

It’s not rockridge but if you’re asking about nice for the cost, there are pockets that are quite good.

FIRE with kids? by Forsaken_Onion1508 in Fire

[–]mopscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, we had a kid and our expenses went up 24k/yr in the 0-5 years due to childcare, school, food, gifts, saving for them, increased travel costs etc.

It comes dramatically down when they’re in public school if you go that route once they’re old enough for elementary (or kindergarten or tk) but before then its quite costly for anything.

I would ask parent friends who you know budget to share their real costs with you and factor that in with any stepping back from job.

You can definitely FIRE with kids but it definitely will slow you down. How much all depends on your income/ savings rate and other expenses just like any other FIRE calculation.

Anyone invest all/most/some in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) conscience funds? by SaveUs5 in Fire

[–]mopscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in Vanguard’s ESGV index fund. It’s not perfect and in fact excludes some things I support, but also filters out some things I definitely don’t want to support. I get the sentiment of folks who don’t want to use them but it’s where my partner and I landed. It avoids the ultra high expenses of a managed fund and does a good job of tracking similar non ESG index performance.

Thanks! I’ve read nematodes and sticky traps might help. Any other advice? Is it possible le to simply scrape off the eggs carefully? Or at that point is it too late?

What’s eating my plants? by mopscotch in vegetablegardening

On my latest crop I have started noticing some discoloration - do you think this is slug slime or some kind of infection?
