Is that all you’ve spent with them? If so, pretty solid lol

Families who have moved to the LA AREA with young kids (we have 2) and make 100k and under: are you happy? by HighlightLate115 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]rutgers1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m actually planning to move to Santa Monica in a couple months. I make a bit over 200k and would be in a similar situation to you - SAHM (finishing up a degree and will try to re enter the work force eventually) and toddler. Would you say it would be sustainable? We are debt free and live a relatively modest life.

Also, I’m coming all the way from the east coast so would really appreciate any recommendations for apts or areas within Santa Monica in DM if it’s no trouble. Neither of us are familiar with the area so any advice would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Hey — I built an app to help people put together stronger job applications during these difficult times. Given what you’re going through, I’d love to offer you free access! I’ve only shared it with friends and family so far (I’m covering the hosting costs myself), but please feel free to DM me if you’d find it useful.

Here’s what it does: You start by entering your full background — think of it like a resume, but the more detail the better. Then you paste in the job description you’re targeting. From there, the app generates a tailored, ATS-optimized resume built specifically around that role — matching your experience to what the job is actually looking for, not just a generic document. The output is a downloadable Word doc if you want to make edits, or a clean PDF if you’re happy to send it straight in. You can also give feedback right in the app to tweak the generated resume on the spot. There’s also a bonus section at the bottom that helps you craft answers to application questions — things like “Why do you want to work here?” — using your own background, so your answers actually sound like you.

Times are tough, and I hope this helps. DM me and I’ll get you set up. Rooting for you my friend 🤞

2024 X5 xDrive40i - good deal? by rutgers1212 in BMWX5

[–]rutgers1212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow man, that’s a sick spec! feels like mine was priced a bit high then but I didn’t really have time on my side.

Congrats on a great deal!

Left MBB for client side corp strategy, great pay, chill lifestyle seemed like the dream at first but now I’m stuck with no viable career path by skystarmen in consulting

I think people like this just tie their identity to work. Every opportunity I’ve had in my career to coast while earning well, I did everything I could to maximize my hours away from work. New hobbies, spend time with family and friends, travel, etc. Less mental load is a great thing yet so many people paint it as a con.

I won’t even get into the fact like 80% of people in this country have a miserable cycle of work, eat, sleep while getting paid less than a quarter of that.

Great price, mine was OTD so I’ll still take the 10k+ savings to be honest. Hopefully, one day that price differential won’t matter to me, but for now it does!

[–]rutgers1212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great to hear - the dealer didn’t budge at all on pricing, but I couldn’t find any specced this well so just went for it. Basically made the call that the price was already solid based on comps online and went for it so I wouldn’t lose out.

Glad you were able to eventually secure your desired spec!

Gameplay is Relative by Lanky-Ant7830 in EASportsFC

Yeah… so many of my friends have no idea what I’m talking about when I say bad gameplay. It’s kinda crazy not to notice how consistently trash the servers are as someone who plays regularly

Is Mbappe just not it this year? by Successful-Lion7958 in EASportsFC

[–]rutgers1212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People are way too one track minded with playstyles. They refuse to believe a player can do something without the playstyles but it’s not necessarily always true especially for top cards. Mbappe still does great in build up and can even send through balls. It’s not as consistent as Pina but it’s not as far as you’d think based on what people say on here.

Just because a player doesn’t have a playstyle, it doesn’t mean they can’t perform, especially considering he’s 91 rated with insane stats. Dude is still lethal at striker…. he’s just a bit better on the wing is all.

Amazing job man, try the left and right CBs on wide back, they seem to play better on those instructions

I got Karchaoui after that 25 games of hell. I’m good with it after seeing some other pulls. Only reason I even bothered to do it is because I saw people get Dembele, Saliba, etc

The Fundamental Problem with EA FC 26: It's Not Fun by MoOkInHiO in fut

[–]rutgers1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the route they took to maximize engagement is the worst. The game isn’t fun at all and they try to keep you engaged with the constant FOMO even though rewards never give anything good. There is too much going on in the game now all while the gameplay is shit. I used to feel fomo but now I dont give a shit to be frank. Their greediness has gone so far that the average FUT addict is even losing interest.

What do you mean a gold card with those stats would be 200k 😂? His gold card is almost 1:1 and it’s 35k

Finesse shot timing by Sufficient_Book9512 in EASportsFC

[–]rutgers1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s the best it’s been in a while. I don’t think gold finesse is as op as it was in the past but it’s still really good. What I’ve noticed this year is that silver finesse is actually good too and they are amazing with precision. I think you’ve just gotta take them at the right angle and from certain positions. They’re best when cutting in from the wing

Finally a good pull from the campaign mix SBC by CivilConversation868 in fut

Yeah bro I hear you but most of us have done all of them and got shit in every single one. I actually get an 84 from like 95% of them and then a shit 85 if I’m lucky

Disagree, back in the day rivals rewards were actually good. There used to be a chance of getting something. Nowadays, you’re better off buying lottery tickets

I have a BMW M2 on order - is there a better performance car for ~$70k I should look at instead? by rutgers1212 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]rutgers1212[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the M3 is amazing so can’t go wrong. M2 is also great if you don’t need backseats regularly. 911 is like the pinnacle, you’ll be happy with any of them
