I've been paying down my mortgage with extra principal payments that cut my schedule from 30 years to 15 ($610 mortgage, extra $340 a month roughly). I don't plan on being in this house for 30 years, and not for even 15 honestly. I'm hoping to get out within the next few years, especially if Amazon's HQ2 comes to Nashville. Would it make more sense to dump that extra $340 into something else? I already max out a Roth IRA, 401(k), and HSA account. No debt except the mortgage, and a small amount left on a car payment. I already have a decent emergency fund as well.

If the answers are low interest (<4%? <3.5%?) / 5+ years in / >20% ltv / no pmi etc then your option is to basically put it in a taxable brokerage account/CDs (2%) /high interest savings(1.5%) and save it to move and buy at your destination. This spreads your risk out of your house in case you have trouble selling it. How stable are home values around you? How long do houses like yours (price, neighborhood, quality) sit on the market?

All my other savings are sitting with Ally right now so I'm considering just dumping the extra principal into a HYSA instead of trying to get the money back when sell the house hopefully in couple of years.

I already have a decent emergency fund as well. As above, what is your interest rate? If you can afford to refinance down to 15 fixed you will probably save money with a 1-2 year horizon to recoup refinancing costs. Sounds like your mortgage is already really cheap though which might increase your refinancing costs relative to the interest savings.

DJCobol posted:4% fixed, 1.5 years in. $124k loan, $115k left. No PMI since I put down 20% when I bought. Home values are increasing because Nashville is still growing like crazy. The 3 most recent condo sales around me similar to mine sold in a couple days. I would pay down my mortgage for a bit longer so if you want to sell it isn't a problem to clear the mortgage. 4% isn't low and 1.5 years you are still paying a huge amount of interest. You can always recast your mortgage in another year or two and compound your early payoff amount. (reduce your payment but go down to just your current payments.)

(Everyone throwing in $20 because they got a $5 app, $11 plate, and a $3 soda, ignoring/forgetting about tax and tip.)

Everyone was about the same meal cost because the resaltaurant had a fixed price 3 course menu where you had a few options. Paid 20% of the bill for a 7 person meal. Not too bad, but it was about 120% more dollar wise than I had anticipated spending on lunch.

How hosed would I be if I quit my job without another job lined up? I hate my current job and have enough savings to survive. The idea would be to use the new time from not working to applying and interviewing for jobs since it's really hard right now to juggle both my job and interviewing. I keep having to take vacation days for instance. edit: sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask in.

You'll hate burning through your emergency savings and not having health insurance/paying out the rear end for COBRA even more than you hate your job. I've been on both sides of that equation (just recently got a new job, left a job I hated and a boss who was abusive), and not having a job while desperately searching for one was by far the most stressful time of my life. I say use up your vacation time or abuse sick time if you need to to go to interviews, send out resumes on the clock if you can.

Echoing this, I have about 6 weeks of vacation accrued, plus savings, and even though I'm a handshake and a figleaf interview away from a new job I'm not bailing until I have an offer because I don't want to deal with treating those respective balances like a ticking clock even if things are for the moment looking good on the other side.

Are there good resources for methodologies and things like that or do I just google like hell? Sounds like coding, which I have very little as-a-job experience with. Broadly, project management is about timelines and communication: communicating to people when their timelines are coming up; QED. Understanding timelines is an exercise in knowing what you need to have done and whether those things have dependencies. This is the rabbit hole that needs the most inspection. In order to do x, I need to do y. In order to do y, a and b must align the signs, etc. If you got all of that, google GAANT and use whatever tools at your disposal to recreate project plans that look like that. There are Excel, Google Docs, OpenOffice, whatever versions of makin those things.

If i worked with a competent company that would be manageable but instead i'm trying to design a template of sorts that anyone on our PM team could just ask to be filled in and then the programmers scope would be done. There are a few methods I just forgot them. We can create gaant charts all day long with ease but people just make up the dates because they don't know how to figure out how long steps take.

I keep having to take vacation days for instance. Two contrarian thoughts juxtaposed to the sensible replies you already got: 1) Why resign when you can just quit giving a poo poo and collect paychecks until you're fired? If you work for a soulless corporate megalith it may take a year or more from the time you stop giving a poo poo until the time they finally fire you. (Doesn't apply if you work in an insular industry where your current managers can blacklist you and end your career, but that's the exception not the rule.) 2) No point giving up the paychecks until you've drained all your PTO, at least.

Are there good resources for methodologies and things like that or do I just google like hell? Yes! Finally, something relevant to my job! Methodologies on time estimation vary but you're going to get a few flavors: - Bottoms up estimates from subject matter experts for each task in the project -The "I've done this before and think it should take X " -I did all this work but I have the budget you gave me anyway so we'll do it for X or less than X https://www.greycampus.com/opencampus/project-management-professional/how-is-estimation-done It's also helpful to break the tasks down into common scopes into a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/applying-work-breakdown-structure-project-lifecycle-6979 This makes it easier to organize the work so you're no overwhelmed with a spaghetti shitpile of schedule tasks If you want to start getting fancy, you can calculate early and late starts for your network of tasks and figure out your critical path (the set of activities that determine that final end date of the project) and where your slack is in other parts. This is how I'm able to say "this absolutely can't be late" on one thing and "idgaf we got a couple weeks" on others. https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/critical-path-method-calculations-scheduling-8040 I've actually been toying with creating a Project Management thread but I'm not sure how much interested there would be in such a thing.

I keep having to take vacation days for instance. Depends a bit on your industry but since there is 1.1 people to job openings right now (can't find the source but it was in one of my podcasts I listen to) it shouldn't be too hard to find something. I usually side with the guys above on waiting but if you were going to do it with the way the job market is now it is probably the best time. Higgy posted:Yes! Finally, something relevant to my job! I would read this thread as long as you don't reference the PMI... just a money grab organization with the PMP and all that. I am pretty sure the PMP cert = I have no idea how to be a PM. I mean lets be serious about how simple the concepts of critical path, float, scoping, cash flows, etc. are. Very easy.

PMI is still a fine resource for referencing core concepts. The PMBOK is also a handy reference guide but it doesn’t have anything one couldn’t find anywhere else. The PMP, its other myriad of certs and its chapter fees are a rip, though, you’re right. Its mostly a check-the-box cert, especially in my own org.

Pretty much. The PMP just tells me they understand some basic concepts, and can pass a test. It says gently caress all about pm skills. I think I’ll do up a thread tonight on it. Seems like there’s quite a few PM hiding out around here and I like to get other view points on how to approach these things.
