Transmission rate going back up.

Yeah, I’m sort of getting tired of seeing my net worth keep going up despite covid, now well past pre-covid levels, despite doing less and less work. lol.

And damn, it’s getting old that UI benefit pay for furlow Friday is more than when it was a working Friday.

That reminds me…. I need to turn in my forms to recertify for last week

Speculation on steroids. Shoveler, maybe you are on to something … People staying home have nothing better to do.

I think it’s about time to start reeling things in..Would rather buy property versus stock at this point.

Carnvial Cruises was $12 when I bought it. I thought it was good to sell at $16. It’s $25 today.

Doesn’t make sense

Doh

I know that there were a few agents on nextdoor that were placing furnished rentals.

But it just seemed like the furnished rentals were a lot more expensive than if you bought some furniture here and even if you decide not to stay, toss the furniture, especially if you are going to be staying for an entire year.

I wouldn’t use craiglist. It’s scammy these days. I’d sign up for Zillow which gives you access to two other websites.

As far a good elementary school. There’s many of them.
Carmel Valley district (all) , La Jolla, Bird Rock, Rancho Bernardo (Chapperal), 4S ranch. Others can chime in as well as I’m sure there’s some good ones in Carlsbad, Poway, and other places too.

Cooling costs go way down the closer you are to the ocean. I don’t run my AC most of the time.

As far as looking for a job, depending on what you do, you might have better opportunity finding a job in the Bay Area and working remotely from san diego.

[quote=FlyerInHi]sdp, in Vegas, a waitress could afford to own and pay off a condo like this one. Then she could build her financial future by saving and investing her income.

At $49,500, it’s within a 15 min drive to the major attractions in Vegas. Compare to a similar place in Mission Valley for $200,000.

It has central AC and could be nicely remodeled. 724sf would easily make it a 2 bedroom in NYC.

Speaking of dumpster diving…

I’m just curious given that covid brought on the recession, how are folks doing in Las Vegas versus Mission Valley? it sure seemed pretty obvious that Las Vegas was heavily speculated and that a pandemic event that was certainly going to happen in 2020 was going to level the Las Vegas economy more so than Mission Valley.

Clearly Mission Valley is a better investment if one could have afforded it..

Hey we go again. Brian, stiring the pot and dumpster diving again. Hey look dude, I know you are fishing for attention and desperately trying to be right and accepted by someone.

I really don’t give a flying fck as the basic things that matter to me the most are what goes into my bottom line, which frankly has gone up not down:

1. My YTD return is 20%. Thanks to the covid scare, there were a lot of once in a lifetime good deals.
2. All my tenants continue to pay me fully each month, even June.
3. I’m still collecting more money for my furlow friday’s than working and have more free time than before.

So things are going pretty swell as I’m sure is the case for several of people in San Diego.

So, if you are fishing for ways to be right one time for a change…..Ok Boomer, if you say so, lol.

Short term rentals: Have you tried AirBnb/Vrbo?

You might be in luck. Because since we are just emerging from covid, there are probably a lot some hosts that would rather rent to someone for a few months.

What is your price range and what are you looking to rent in terms of size. 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom, etc?

[Coronita]

lol. officially, we are in a recession https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-economy-officially-in-recession-nber-165226139.html

Ah, it’s already looking the way it would look after I track it ….

I think I’ll wait until the Z06 comes out then I’ll get the regular one with the Z51 package. I can’t imagine I would actually need the Z06. and by then, prices should return back to normal.

[quote=saiine]Was buying puts on the way down through March, and now calls. This market is insane. I don’t think we’re going to see a “crash” before Nov, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we slid into November at an ATH. Nothing is more important to Trump than the stock market.

J-pow making it rain…lol

Musical chairs is fun…until the music stops playing.

Markets going beserk again today. Maybe it’s time to take money off the table and buy another property in MM. YTD is approaching 20% and even if I buy a condo and price falls 20%, im no worse off than than before. Plus it there would be no mortgage. Rent supposedly is going to fall between 5-10% but who knows, who cares. This summer could be brutal to trying to buy a house. People will probably forget about covid during the summer.

Im sad i was too lazy to do zero manual labor. Looking back im sure it wouldve help my mental health. All in all it is amazing things turned out ok for me.

Id be curious on others odd jobs[/quote]

In high school, I took a SAT class. Two months later I was teaching the math portion because none of the teachers could teach me more. I ended up making the cost of my SAT class back plus some more. I really didn’t like it. patience isnt my virtual. and there were times I wanted shoot the kid

In college I didn’t work. I went to the computer lab and bought and sold Netscape stock and Sun Microsystems. I was lazy.

In the summer, I interned at Motorola. And quickly despised unions because I couldn’t move my workstation down two cubicles because that was the mover’s job that ended up taking 2 weeks out of my 11 weeks of internship.

After graduating, just worked. I never worked at as a food place or restaurant. maybe I should have .. I probably would have learned to be more patient. If I were to do a job like this now, I’d probably end up picking up the food and throwing it at a customer if they complained about it.

I did manual jobs for fun in high school … washed cars, painted houses, fixed cars.

[quote=svelte][quote=Coronita]I really didn’t want my kid to go to Canyon Crest Academy.

This is not going to be fun. I tried convincing taking an easier life approach. Take more electives, photography, digital arts, etc. Oh well. At least we’re just disagreeing on school choices , not drugs, alcohol, friends, relationships…yet….[/quote]

Spot on. I do agree it is a fine school and if the son/daughter chooses to push themselves harder than you’d like, more power to them! I’m sure you do, but support their choices even if you disagree…they are doing what interests them and that almost always pays off in the end.

Unless what interests them is a history or liberal arts degree lol.[/quote]

As long as history and liberals arts degree isn’t the final act, I think it’s ok. Lots of history and liberals arts degree undergrads end up doing law, government, and management consulting. I remember companies like McKinsey, Bain, etc hiring a lot of well grounded liberal arts majors.

In America, a lot of it is how well you sell it. Technical know-how takes a back seat to almost all, except the very top 1%. Of course, there are also a lot of directionless liberal arts majors that end up as a starbucks barrista.
