ParticipantI’ve always been pretty much a middleware and enterprise web guy. I got thrown into some E2E applications that were talking to mobile devices (J2ME) a few years ago and I picked it up pretty quickly.
The reason that I haven’t done any iphone or android work? I’m busy earning a living and my work doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m always learning a few new things here and there (I read alot) but going full bore into doing phone development on a new platform requires an investment in equipment (you need at least one phone to develop to) and quite a bit of time.
And, frankly, I’d rather do the server side piece in a smartphone app than the client UI anyways 😉

Participant[quote=AN]You can also add in 1-2% for maintenance but I assume you’re not completely stretched and will be able to have more than that saved a month, so you can just tap into your savings when problem occurs.[/quote]
I put my house maintenance savings into a separate savings account specifically for that purpose. I don’t want it intermingled with my other savings. Doing this helps me to better compartmentalize the money so that there is no temptation to spend it on something else.

ParticipantI save 1% annually for ongoing maintenance. In some years I spend nothing but when you need the big things like a new roof or getting your exterior painted, you’ll use up that 1% and then some.
Note that I don’t use this money for remodeling, decorating or other discretionary expenses. It is purely to pay for maintenance or unexpected house related expenses: e.g. the dishwasher or fridge dies and needs to be replace, the AC unit breaks down and needs repair/replacement, etc.
I just spent $3000 getting my house painted (exterior) and spent over $5000 getting a new roof last year. If I hadn’t had this money already set aside it would have been very uncomfortable.

2. it isn’t close to the freeways – on the map it looks like there is easy access for commuting but I would want to see what the roads were like during my own commuting times – spending 15 or 20 minutes just getting to the freeway is very frustrating for me – suggest you try your commute from that location and see what it is like[/quote]Straight down Navajo to Waring and less than a mile to the 8 on Waring.
