Hey Desi Fam. I am in California but looking to move to the East Coast to be closer to my wife’s and my family as our kids are growing up. Started looking at northern suburbs of Atlanta and that area ticks all the boxes we are looking for - great schools, family based neighborhoods, and diverse population. Are there any Atlanta natives here who can help us narrow down the city and neighborhoods we could target. Would like to buy a medium sized home < $700k. Thanks

Thoughts on Overstock OSTK since the holiday is around the corner at the current share price ~67?

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.
