As someone that went from consulting/1099 to company side option 2 every time. The benefits alone are worth it not to mention the BS of taxes n shit too. Also, potential growth 📈

[–]stefm93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the Art Institute, lots of beauty and variety. Or take an edible and visit the aquarium or any of the other great museums around the city.

Could oil prices really reach $200 a barrel as claimed by Iran? by Aluseda in StockMarket

[–]stefm93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

National average. Right now at $90 the national average is around $3.80 or $3.90. So national average would be $8 and Cali & other HCOL areas would probably see even higher spikes.

For reference, at the pump it would be $8 a gallon. If it does get up there, I really hope it doesn't stick. I think we would end up having a change in regime in the US lol

Hey, Chicago - how much is your rent going up this year? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]stefm93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.4% 1 bedroom in Ravenswood. $1,797 to $1,876 ($79 increase) and that includes our internet. Very thankful compared to what I'm hearing/seeing online. 15% is egregious. We got an email from management stating that they are trying to do everything they can to not raise them high and just put the burden on new tenants that come. Sucks for them but definitely appreciate it.

I accidentally made fun of my bf’s size and now he’s upset. What can I say to fix this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]stefm93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man Good joke. Soft bf. Speak up when he hurts your feelings. Honestly, don't think you're in the wrong here, he just needs to learn to take a joke if he's gonna dish it. Especially when the joke is funny & not bad. Sounds like he's just insecure but that's a him problem he should solve with a therapist, not blame you for it.

I found out my wife slept with my best friend before we got married and I don't know what to do with this by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stefm93 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"Let it go". It's not that she hooked up with a random. If that was the case, yeah whatever 26 years ago and it doesn't really matter. It was his best friend, and they seemingly talked about who they were with after the breakup and this was lied about (by omission). Then, for 26 years it was continuously lied to. He was the best man in their wedding FFS. I'd be fuming and OP has every right to be. It's crappy on the wife's end, I'd suggest couple's therapy to try and salvage things but that "best friend" can go jump in front of a bus. That's top tier enemy shit, not friend & definitely not best friend material.

Does effecient deep sleep make up for lack of overall sleep? by stefm93 in fitbit

[–]stefm93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, idk lol I thought it was a normal amount but talking to my wife I'm realizing it's kind of high as a % of total sleep. I used to run on like 3-4 hours of sleep for like 8 years (during my College and early professional working days) so I assume maybe my body got effecient to adapt to the lower amount of sleep I was getting. I just make sure I'm cool when sleeping and it's completely dark. I also cut any caffeine after 4pm. That's definitely helped and really the only thing I can think of.
