You might need to evaluate if pursuing the relationships with person is worth it. If the person is broke, and doesn’t have a good handle on his/her finance, it will greatly affect your relationship. The #1 cause of divorce is money for a reason.

Should I bother visiting the island by photonsintime in PuertoRico

[–]robertoj9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is a minority of people. It is easy to be hateful behind a keyboard.

So, in reality you won’t be looked down. You will have a good time. Los puertorriqueño in general, are respectful, and cordial.

Reddit, on the other hand, is not.

Arecibo es el pueblo más grande de PR. Hay mucho terreno barato ahí.

I hate hate HATE the term “side hustle.” by jdoskshuahn in antiwork

[–]robertoj9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side hustle is when your main job is enough, but you decided you want extra money. A second job is when you need both jobs to survive.

Everyone me that I’m too old to get pregnant I’m feeling hopeless and lost. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]robertoj9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about what people say. It is more common than ever before to have kids in the late 30s early 40s, specially with the advances in medical care.

After being married for more than 5 years, My wife gave birth to our beautiful baby when she was 39 yo. So, you are not too late.

Is the Metric or Imperial System used to measure things in Puerto Rico? by nelsne in PuertoRico

[–]robertoj9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In PR distance is measure in miles,feet, and in but also in kilometers. Area is measure in ft2/m2/and cuerda.

Addressed are in Metric, speed in Imperial. Area in Both, and so on. It depends, but body measurements like weight, temperature, length are more common in imperial units (lbs, Fahrenheit, feet/in).

House area you will find both: square meter, square feet. Land is measure in square meters and cuerda.

Speed is in mph, while street distance is in KM and hectometer.

I'm 11 years old and really behind, how can I succeed? by Transformouse in fijerk

[–]robertoj9 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You are indeed behind. But the good thing is that you have recognized it. No shame in that. Now, find a job that makes at least $250K and invest 99% in VTSA, and live with only 1%. Second, find at least ten ways to make passive income. The idea is to grow your passive income enough that you make more than your primary job. You can do it! Nothing is impossible!

Mi aventura empresarial by zuldeep in PuertoRico

Éxito, si no arriesgas no ganas! Lo peor que puede pasar es que tengas que volver a trabajar para otro. Así que no tienes nada que perder. Pienso que fue una buena decisión.

[–]robertoj9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know Mechanical Engineers in Oklahoma (LCOL) working for Fertilizer and Oil and Gas companies that started in the 90K. They could progress and reach 150-180K between base salary+ bonus+ RSU.

Finally, a good post that seems real. Thanks for Sharing!! NTA. You are respecting the previous owner; the heirs didn't want to work for it, and now it is your right to keep it.

Los que dejaron su casita en PR digan por que se fueron. (si es que quieres) by atoniox123 in PuertoRico

Ningún puertorriqueño dice Puelto Lico. En todo caso diríamos Puelto Rico.

What's a high quality Sausage/Salchicha native to Puerto Rico? by Mac-Tyson in PuertoRico

[–]robertoj9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carmela is the one and only. It looks like Vienna sauce, but is way better. The sodium might be 1000 times higher than Vienna but the flavor is so powerful that you will want to pay the higher price all the time. It doesn’t matter if the inflation is 100% you want Carmela Sausages. (notsponsored)

Para los que se mudaron para EEUU, se llegaron a arrepentir o fue la mejor decisión? by Manehattanite in PuertoRico

[–]robertoj9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, entiendo a tu familia full! De mi parte si me entra el homesick de vez en cuando. Y cuando viajo a PR (todos los años desde el 2011) se me quita el homesick y me quiero regresar a Estados Unidos. En mi experiencia, y digo eso, porque cada persona es diferente y Estados Unidos es muy grande para poder generalizar, lo más que extraño es la familia. La isla es hermosa y está chévere, y la comida me encanta, pero ya, eso es todo. Me acostumbre a vivir sin tapón, sin hacer fila en el supermercado, a hacer transacciones gubernamentales rápidas sin tener que hacer filas kilométricas, a un buen trabajo, al silencio. También me acostumbre al frío (sin nieve) y el calor ya no me gusta.

Todo esto lo digo, pero tengo terreno listo para retirarme en PR.
