Just had my discovery flight and I’ve been wanting to go for my PPL for a while, just not sure I can justify the 15k or so investment in my current financial situation. Would it be really bad to spread my lesson over a period of a few years?

Hello everyone.

Hope your creative journey is starting/evolving with time. I am a lawyer, writer, designer and artist. To some, the terms may seem vague, but few believe we embrace identities as we travel, learn and live. I am looking to connect with this wonderful community and share my journey, also looking for roles in writing.

Thank you.

If I max out my 401k before the end of the year, I am still eligible for employer matching?

Hi everyone, my H1B Visa stamp has expired but I have Valid I-797 can I still travel to Bahamas? Or how to get another stamp without visiting India? Thanks!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Given the hot sellers market, do you guys think I should plan to sell my house on my own (private) vs get an agent? Want to minimize closing costs/fees. Thanks!

I've seen a couple posts about unionizing, anyone know anything about the potential Kaiser strike in early October? Saw online that they're already hiring for scabs, $3400-$5950 + housing, travel transportation, and per diem. And this is for techs!!!

Was considering flying standby on Southwest today... lady told me that I may be asked to leave the connection flight because it was oversold... with the MOST serious face ever. United has us scared

What’s a good, practical tax book to read for someone who knows nothing about taxes? I feel like I should familiarize myself with them but don’t know where to start/find the topic very overwhelming and dense even as a finance attorney. Welcome to other beginning finance book suggestions too! (Already read Kiyosaki and Ramsey)

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

How much should I invest in buying a HOME as my primary residence.

Current TC: 200k
Net worth: 300k, readily available 170k in stocks, hysa and cash
Current rent: 2000 per month
Age: 30

Wonder if anyone has any excel model or a rule to determine how much I can afford or should go for?

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?

A couple months into consulting and realizing I hate it and have no passion for it whatsoever. Is it crazy that I’m thinking to give up this job and completely switch into recruiting for tech? Any consultants who’ve made the switch willing to connect?

Which practice group (m&a, capital markets, or funds) would be best for someone who genuinely doesn’t care about this job/law but wants to stay in biglaw (NYC) as long as possible? Some folks say m&a is more “intellectually stimulating” and I wonder, for that reason, perhaps capital markets might suit me? (I’d rather take mind numbing repetitive tasks over more “challenging” deals)

Anyone knows if Singapore trash collection separates waste into recyclables ? If not, how can we do it ourselves in sg?
I live in a condo FYI.

I have a para/assistant teacher that just wants to argue over everything. “You’re the teacher, why do I have to assess the children during break out rooms?” We have 8 kids, and I am only asking her to do 3! The other para is doing 3 and I and doing 2 with IEPs!!! How am I supposed to handle this in a professional manner virtually? Plus she is frustrated b/c o can’t explain everything. I keep telling her it’s all new to me too. Grace is not a word in her vocab. And I am feeling graceless.

When is the right time to introduce your new bf/gf to your kid(s)?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Hello if anyone’s there 👋 I’m wondering what some of you have done after getting your PPL? I assume continue to learn/gain ratings, but how often do you fly once you’ve reached that milestone, do you look to get you own aircraft (or share), volunteer etc? Looking to eventually take the plunge, but want to know what things look like beyond PPL.

Any other air simulator pilots out there lol?

How to find time to fly? I have gotten so busy, just picked up two more projects and realized it’s been 50 days. On the schedule for tomorrow, but geez 😒

Looking to choose a place to fly out of for getting my PPL. Would you recommend a program based out of a controlled or uncontrolled airport? It sounds like you get more flight time out of the uncontrolled (less busy), but less experience liaising with ATC. Both options are comparable cost-wise and about the same distance from my house.

Anyone have good fall foliage GA airports in New Hampshire, MA, or Southern Maine?

Been over 20 years since I've been PIC... Anyone know of a decent rusty pilot program in FL?

Took the plunge and took a 2 month break from work to finally get my PPL. No clue how I would’ve done this without the break. Passed medical, written, and already have 6 hours! I’m doing an accelerated program with a small school in California to knock this out in a few weeks. So far so good!

Finished my written and got my medical - starting flight training next week - any help welcome!

It’s been so quiet in here... anyone was able to fly recently?

What to read or watch before first flight lesson to maximize what I get from it? Got one as a gift. 1hr desk, 1hr cesna
