Late to the party... How bad am I with money for paying only $25 less per month for health insurance than noted person who has been shot nine times, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson? His deductible is probably lower than mine too.

Blinkman987 posted:Isn't Denver getting crazy expensive? Yes, it's ridiculously expensive, especially if you want to buy. Houses are going for tens of thousands over asking price, in cash, same day as listing. Luckily I locked in the low-cost-of-living lifestyle in my house rented from a senile old woman that doesn't seem to understand that she can raise her rents more than 2% each year, so that's pretty cool.

This is basically the case in any of the desirable, economically-booming urban areas where people actually want to live. Denver, Austin, Seattle, of course places like SF and NYC, etc. A lot of it is unfortunately driven by foreign investment, as well, not even by owner-occupiers or landlords. I know that in places like Seattle and Vancouver, BC places are getting bought up in all cash and no inspections and then sitting empty because it's some wealthy Chinese person's off-shore backup plan.

Green Mind posted:Any GWM recommendations for a code bootcamp? So from what I've gathered, just picking a language is tough enough. I really just want to make a good salary. I can make 70k a year driving a truck but my sanity, health and relationships will always suffer. Plus it's a 70 hour week every week. Right now I get one day off for every week I work. Typing this from a truck stop in PA right now while my GF is in Reno. Javascript. Learn Javascript, most of the stuff people are talking about are js libraries that enable javascript to be coded more easily. Javascript looks and feels like C++ and runs basically allllll the frontend web development in the world. Learn how to code in it and then if you want to gently caress with another language, you just really have to learn syntax if you get the logic down.

I like the Piedmont Triad area of NC because it's a desirable, economically booming somewhat-urban area where people actually want to live.

My new guilty pleasure is reading / watching US students talk about their insane student loans for the worst degrees ever. $95k to study to be an actress? Check. $114k for 2 rounds of god knows what at university? Check. http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/24/pf/college/student-debt-100000/ It's insane and sad that people have to get in this much debt for pretty much nothing. I'm getting 6 years (½ a year wasted on unrelated stuff) of university studies for ~55k (loan for living costs) @ ~1% interest, with a guaranteed job after, that will enable me to easily pay it down.

Yeah, it's pretty broken. $114k guy might not be too bad, depending on what his field of study is, Columbia is an excellent school. OTOH, he's looking at government work for loan forgiveness, so I have a feeling it's nothing terribly lucrative. Dropping out of med/law school must be insane  I was

Is the Singapore government-mandated savings scheme BWM? It's criticized as being a ponzi scheme. Singaporeans are required to contribute 15% of their income (with 15% mandatory employer match) where they get either 4 or 6% return. This article makes an argument that most people will not be able to retire under the current rules. quote:1. Make Singaporeans pay the highest CPF contribution rates in the world http://thehearttruths.com/2014/04/02/truth-exposed-the-dirty-cpf-hdb-scheme-to-trick-singaporeans/2/

There is a guy that always posts about his cheap COL near Des Moines I believe and gets poo poo on every time for some reason because lol fly over states. Goons can't believe that anyone can truly be happy outside of an overpriced urban area full of people in their 20s. I live in the Madison, WI area for what it's worth. Not a booming metropolis but housing prices are reasonable outside the city center and me and my boyfriend have good jobs that we enjoy. Haters are just gonna hate.

drat, I covered the cost of my undergrad by working summers full time, during the year part time and co-ops. I got paid to do my PhD and came out with $50k in the bank. Paying $100k for an undergrad degree is insane.

If anyone needs travel vaccines, some CVS will provide Hep A and B vaccinations and it was free with my insurance. The Typhoid vaccine I had to go to some specialty clinic that did not accept insurance and kept trying to hardsell a consultation. Because it's so difficult to go to the CDC website and look up the suggested vaccines for wherever you're going.
