I'm 32 y/o. I moved to Union City (East Bay) during COVID, and I struggle to make new friends. Any recommendations on channels/platforms/volunteer progroms to make new friends?

We only have 1 car in HH, and my SO usually needs it for his job, which is a big bummer in making new friends I need to take into consideration.

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.

Pre-covid I was doing admin work, and recently moved to a consulting firm.

Hoping to hear I can stay in the consulting space and not be limited to slalom (no offense, they seem lively, but I like having options).
