The tl dr is you can probably buy approximately the same quality for cheaper, but I’ve heard paying slightly more for a slightly better brand is well worth it.

My parents got me some as a gift. The pillow cases were back ordered and came later. I had picked out a color that was a medium gray, and realized when the pillowcases arrived (after I had washed them a few times and it was too late to return them) they were actually a slightly different color from the sheets—more of a“greige.”

It wasn’t super noticeable at first but the more I’ve washed everything, the more mismatched they look (the pillow cases now look straight up beige/tan).

I do really like the feel of the sheets (percale) and they’re durable in terms of the fabric, if not the dye. I’ve had them for six years and they still feel crisp and new—no weird thin patches or holes or anything.

However, my previous sheets were from Target (Threshold) and I thought they were just as nice and were like 1/6 of the price. They also held up pretty well; I had those for about three years and saw no issues with either the fabric wearing out or the color changing (and these were royal purple).

Also, if you do go with B&B, make sure to look into the different types of fabrics. Some are more satiny, some are crisper (and therefore noisier if you or your partner are a restless sleeper). I had never really thought about different types of cotton/sheet fabrics before so I had to do some research :)

Do y’all do 15 year or 30 year for your portfolios? I personally plan to have a “job” or “career” for both the next 15 and possibly next 30 years, so should I just do 15 years to get a free and clear portfolio earlier? 25 year old and just getting started. Have a duplex in a major market (looking to refi out of FHA), and eyeing other opportunities now. I don’t “need” cash flow, so should I try to just build equity?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

What do you all think is the upper limit range for someone in an account manager role at a tech firm? What’s the career path? Was there anything you’ve done in terms of upskilling that resulted in increased pay? Or should I just pick something else if I want to be making more than what I make atm ~150k TC with 6 years exp.
