Can Apple support turn off “Find My Iphone” for you? I need to turn it off for a phone trade it, but I don’t have access to the Apple ID for that phone. Submitted a request for access but it won’t take effect until 1/17, while I have to ship the phone out by 1/8.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

For quite some time, I was living paycheck to paycheck while even making $180k+, but equally I was heavily in debt trying to rectify some financial mistakes I made and thus saving was out of the question. That said, I’ve gotten over that hurdle in my life—now debt free—and am finally able to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and to invest/save my money.
Proud of you!!
We’re investing and saving a down payment. But also living paycheck to paycheck because the money is auto deposited into those accounts first. I’d say we save half or a little more than half of our take home pay and the rest is stretched thin by bills/rent/food at the end of the month. We have had to cut down on our spending and it’s rough at first.
He’s moving into a different career that will be a large pay jump so that will be a very welcome reprieve. Worth it in the end though(if we don’t die young).
I make $370k TC in NYC and I live like I’m a refugee just trying to survive on basics. As a result, I’m very comfortably even though I don’t make millions.
I have a feeling even without living “like a refugee” you could be comfortable with that TC in NY…
