Anyone ever live or hear anyone talk about living in lansdowne VA? I’m curious what it’s like living there for young families.

Classic suburban life. Everything closes around 9. The swinging culture is alive and well. So is the evangelical culture - many mega churches around to choose from. The homes are newish and nice in a cookie cutter way. Safe, quiet.

Grew up a few minutes away. Great area - safe, close to a lot of amenities. If you’re commuting to DC everyday could get a little annoying but it’s not horrible

Does it actually have that “get away resort” feel it claims to have (excluding the actual resort)? Or is that an overblown gimmick?

It depends what you mean by getaway resort feel - gated community vibes near golf courses and an actual resort and spa? Yes, you have Lansdowne Resort right next door, Lowes Island and other country clubs right up the road, and private, tranquil neighborhoods. To some people that sounds like a getaway and to others it might sound like a scene out of Edward Scissorhands. I don't have kids so the area is much too quiet for my taste but I could see the appeal for a family.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

I’m in a tough spot—still waiting for conflicts to clear and out of the blue, a partner reached out regarding a project that they’ve staffed me on. They want my availability to begin working on the matter next week…how do I handle this? I haven’t given notice, but expect to do so soon…I don’t think it’s prudent to start a new matter esp. since I know I’m leaving…but I can’t turn down work with a straight face (especially because my hours are in “checked out” mode)…

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)
