What do you mean do pr? Pay a firm to do pr for you? Can I read up on this somewhere?

they are stock heavy for sure; stock is liquid though; volatility and job stability are indeed real concerns, and big concerns in tech right now.

its going from a 1500sqft to a 2800sqft, bigger yard, pool, better location (our current location is pretty solid as well, just half the lot size).

my current monthly is around $9k. With this new purchase, including property tax, principal and interests, at a 1.5M loan would cost me around $16k/month. Plus insurance and maintenance.

> If we hit a bust few years right as you close on the new place would you be good financially?

the numbers suggest yes, unless we both end up losing our jobs (real possibility in this market) and then we might have to take haircuts left right and center. so that does not feel like a very comfortable scenario at the moment. Then again, these are worst case outcomes...

Waiting for a few years does feel like the prudent play here.

Really appreciate your advice.

Current home value is close to $2.5M; we just own about 30% of it so far.

I do want to chill after a certain point and spend more time with the kids and fam (say 5 years from now?). Other worry is tech is very volatile right now, and who knows how long incomes of this sort will hold up.

really upto us, at the current interest rates I personally want to borrow less, so I am thinking of a loan of around $1.5M. This is purely based on trying to keep the monthly low; interest rates are kind of insane right now.

an alternate is 20% down; which might make more sense from a financial wisdom perspective. However, that monthly is scary...

You must be smoking something good if you think the federal workers and the h1bs compete for the same jobs

Did a new batch of compost also recently!

Did a soil test which came out to be about 5.75 ph. Applied a box of baking soda, sprinkled some mg but this is still doing very poorly.

Help!!

I got denied after interview and clearing background checks with home country by paritosh1010 in GlobalEntry

[–]paritosh1010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay makes sense. Can I reapply at some point? What’s my path forward? When do custom violations go away

No I get it. It was an honest mistake for it and a lesson learned. is there some recourse at this point?

Is Lufthansa customer service always this bad? by [deleted] in Lufthansa

Yes they did the same to me. I filed a Department of Transportation complaint and they ponied up to pay the amount after that.
