is $100,000 / year still a good salary?

Considering I know very few families who make anything close to 100k a year, let alone as an individual, yes. It is still very good. Unless for some reason you think a big ass house and nice cars are necessities on top of a bunch of other toys and luxuries. Yes, location matters, but on a whole...

does it really cost them 30-40% more to make a stainless steel appliance?

Fridges are more complex in that you have models with the freezer on the top (cheapest), side-by-side (mid), and bottom (crazy pricey). Usually its just that the control board might have an extra relay or two for a top end fridge that controls a damper (a little flap between the freezer and...

Having worked for a major appliance manufacturer, the mark-up is not even remotely close to what the price difference of production is. People are willing to pay more, though. I'm sure everyone knows that. Knowing the exact difference between a low end appliance and the stupid expensive ones is...

How much is your rent?

$495 a month for a 1/1, 700 sq ft apartment. Signed up when they were offering a special and got one month free rent, so sits right at $450 a month realistically. I pay $25 a month for high speed internet (get half off for a year, its awesome) and my utilities per month is like $30. Roughly...

Are you salary OR hourly? Do you like it or wish you had it the other way?

Based from what I've seen so far, I'd want hourly (or salary+overtime, didn't know about that). I'm not sure if that is common for engineering jobs. Maybe if the atmosphere were laid back, and nobody cared about time as long as you got things done, and they respect your time, I'd be OK with...

hate this

Not gonna lie, I'm a pretty shallow dude. There is nothing wrong with the girl in those pictures...plus, I prefer the way she looks in the first picture. You really need to change the way you look at things. I know I'm overly critical of others' appearances. Usually the shit I nit-pick about...

WOOT! Got my first paycheck yesterday!

I'm far too lazy to go to the bank to cash a check every week, or carry around a large amount of bills in my pocket and have to pay the correct amount rather than swipe a card. At most I have like $30 for those few archaic places from the stone age who only take cash :P
