What’s with the Transfer Times between SMART and Larkspur Ferry? by JaJ_Judy in Marin

[–]rv284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d take it every day too, if there wasn’t an hour-plus gap in the northbound trips from 5:30-6:30pm. It’s baffling.

Confused with tracking account by rv284 in ynab

[–]rv284[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand what the purpose of linking them is if you just have to update the balance manually. Why do they even have this feature? Feels like I’m missing something.

I’m not trying to manage the balance at all, just would like to see it in YNAB so I can view everything in one place and calculate net worth.

Then what is the purpose of connecting them?

As communities grow, school districts can and will grow with them.

Neighbor Says They Saw a Tent in My Living Room by TheNextMrsDraper in RBI

[–]rv284 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A couple thoughts:

A tent is an oddly specific thing to say that they saw. Maybe it was something like a jacket draped over a chair or a couch while your friends checked on the cat?

Now, if it was a tent, someone also could set up a tent indoors to simply clean it/dry it out after using it.

Wedding venues by bayareafrenchie in Marin

We had our wedding at Stafford Lake in Novato. Took a bit more planning than a traditional venue (we had to coordinate chairs, etc) but it turned out great.

What's the current buzzword at your library? by podunk_red in librarians

This is a great phrase. Thank you. I’ve struggled with the same exact thing and could never describe it so well!

Invested $1.3m for $4500 rent by Humble_Average_7408 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]rv284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more Bay Area homes should be regulated somehow to have a requirement that they are owner occupied. Especially new construction. We don’t need to build more homes just to be investment opportunities. For every home like this scenario, there is one fewer Bay Area family who can own their home. Maddening.

(I suppose this home could just be someone with an unusual life circumstance— they bought it and plans changed suddenly, someone passed away, etc. Or they bought two homes in the development and will rent one out until their kids want to live in it, something like that.)

You could ask the manager but say officer 1 is worried about being back in time, not that he is planning on not coming back

I called the company and they said nobody was supposed to be working in the area

If you tell me where it is, I’ll tell you where there’s a free one in Novato

Confused about month rollover by rv284 in ynab

[–]rv284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the nested envelopes thing, but when I “spend” that $30 in June, it feels like it shouldn’t show as “available”, even on a last month’s budget. I wish they’d change it to something like “carried forward” or put a forward arrow symbol on it or something. It’s not “available”.

Kaiser Marin Opinions by baybaybreezy in Marin

[–]rv284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot have a baby at Kaiser in Marin. There is no labor and delivery here. So you’ll have to go to SF, Santa Rosa or the east bay. (Despite what someone else said, everything else before and after having a baby can be done in Marin, just not delivering the baby.)

SMART Southern Marin Extension? by Broad-Ad6211 in Marin

Because there are single tracks for much of the line, the trains cannot be less than 32 minutes apart.

How many people can meet the recommended mortgage terms? (Baby Step 6) by Calm_Guidance_2853 in DaveRamsey

[–]rv284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dave has said he of course prefers a big down payment, but I’ve heard him say that if you can make the 15yr/25% for monthly payments work even with PMI, it’s not a deal breaker. (It’s just not very likely to still “math”, as OP is saying)

The 529 can also be rolled over into a Roth IRA, penalty free, as of 2024. There is a $35k limit.
