San Diego is great, but if I had to pay current housing prices I might think it overrated too...

I’ve lived other places, but nothing beats San Diego. It has it all! Great weather, great restaurants, beautiful, the beach, cool ppl, not too much traffic comparatively. There’s no place better.

It depends on your values really. If you don’t mind living a crappy life, from a material standpoint, in exchange for lovely weather/scenery then it’s not overrated. If you would like to live in material comfort and don’t mind having not great weather, then it’s obviously overrated.

It's overrated if you aren't by the coast imo, especially taking into account the CoL. Amazes me all the people who live here but don't go to the beach. Why live here then?

Eh...I agree with the comments above. It is a little bit overrated if I am being honest. The housing and rent prices are just ridiculous.

I think other cities big cities have the same rent pricing but don't offer you all the outdoor options that SD can offer you. It all depends on what you value more. I am a big fan of San Diego.

I don't think its overrated. I have lived here about a year now and I really love it.

definitely for the easily impressed

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon.
