San Jose folks. Looking to move there later this year for a job, any recommendations on solid areas with 3-4 bedrooms? Don't care about nightlife (married with a kid), like a safe area with parking, parks and stuff to do with a toddler.
Zillow is showing everything 4k+/month which is a bit high.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated, I'm from the East coast so I know nothing about the area.

I was giving my kid the advice that the path you sometimes believe you are on is not necessarily where you will land, in a good way, and to stay open to those paths.

Help me make my point.

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?
*Getting a rate lock 4.25% 🤞🏼

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

Can you relate? Has your salary / net worth growth dramatically improved your quality of life?

He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?
