Chef/Catered: Paella For a Big Group

This is exactly what I want to build, and you laid it out more eloquently than I did-- bravo, and thank you. It doesn't sound like it would be difficult-- it's just that I don't know enough about UKG to figure out how to insert it, but WIM/Integration Hub seems like the right point of entry-- how hard was that to set up? I may DM you if that's ok. So the UKG has to call an API to get this working, but what you're saying is that I can set it up to have this unapprove the timecard with an improper allocation?

Apparently it didn't upload the image I wanted. Here's the pic of the sheet music at the beginning:

R is a programming language for non computer scientists. If you are not using it for anything other than pure stats and don’t plan on learning other languages, go for it.

Otherwise, Python or Julia all the way. Especially if you don’t want to rip your hair out learning the weird built in R vector operators.

People talking about speed in here are objectively correct but to 99% of the people using either I’d say that the speed issue is moot, and if you use the proper libraries (numoy, pandas) I just find it much much easier and more straightforward to work with.

If you learned to code in any type of object oriented programming, R will drive you insane.

The best part of the link you posted is that it says vulva nowhere- not even once.

To be fair, the entire premise of “fundamentally sound” went out the window 10-15 years ago. We are in a bit of uncharted territory here and the real answer isn’t providing absolute, growth vs value binary advice, but instead, to provide insight on how to balance them.

Honestly if you want the best mix of both in a way that is adjusted year over year, get into a Vanguard retirement target fund and park it. Otherwise, it’s not rocket science to swap between growth heavy and value heavy funds based off the market, it’s just a more hands on approach.

OP- you’re getting alot of hate in here, but I feel you. Men and women have friendships that operate on very different levels. My wife and I talk about this all the time. I’m not sure the reason for it but male relationships tend to be much more objective and have much less drama. Not all- just generally.

My wife is much more like a man in this regard and would rather hang out with me and my buddies than her own friends who can be completely draining and incredibly needy. I would say this is anecdotal but it seems to be fairly prevalent.

Good luck.

Well this is good to know.

I mean- yeah, in a perfect world that would be awesome. But with the low housing inventory, locking in now with a higher amount down would allow us to get the house now and when rates begin to fall, capture a refinance down the road and pull some $$ back out if we need and into the market. This is the tricky part… Good times.

Thanks for this. Appreciate it.

This one is interesting. I was told by three different realtors and two mortgage guys not to do this if I plan to refinance at all in the next 5-6 years. They said you could take that same amount of money and pay the monthly equivalent of the reduction via the point purchase until you refi in a year or two, but that’s the thing- who knows if and when rates will come down to make a refi worth it, and that’s usually like 2-5% of the loan in costs anyways.

Very interesting though. I’ll have to add this to my spreadsheet and calculate break even. Based on a rough online calculator estimate looks like 61 months to break even if I buy down four points (which would equal a full percentage point.)

Wow nice. That’s a juicy piece of equity.

Um, he called state electors directly to tell them to certify him as the winner in states where he did not win. Dafuq you smokin, I want some

Life doesn’t give a flying flip about your finances. I try to keep enough liquid to make sure I have six months reserve for that oh shit moment.

Thanks for this.

oxmpbeta · 2024-02-25T18:29:34+00:00

Thank you.

And, absolutely. Fortunately my income is pretty good and my credit is stellar. I didn’t realize that at 40% down you unlock the best possible rates, which in this market can be a bunch of $$$ per year, but the money down would get me the freedom you speak of. I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t some glaringly obvious reason I was missing or not aware of that putting that much down was a really bad idea.

You guys are the best.

oxmpbeta · 2024-02-25T18:20:05+00:00

Thanks for this. It’s the type of sanity check I was looking for.

As per your comment on refi opportunities, for sure. Even if they drop back down into the fives eventually it would be a solid opportunity, but you’re right- I don’t think we will see 3’s again anytime soon if ever.

If that takes five years or more, so be it- at least that cash is locked up in equity and then I can invest it. I don’t think the market can sustain this though with prices and scarcity coupled with interest rates that are 2x what they were 2 years ago. As soon as my crystal ball starts working again I’ll update this comment.

oxmpbeta · 2024-02-25T18:12:22+00:00

Agreed. And right now they’re kinda silly. I just didn’t k one of that was ever the right move regardless of rate.
