    Lowe's 10% off coupon - Save up to $500!!!

    Tried to use an e-mailed Lowes Coupon at Home Depot yesterday and was denied. The guy at the register checked with the manager and she came over and explained that they no longer take any Lowes coupon printed at home. Had a Lowes $25 off $250 that I got in the mail and used that one without a...

    Who here has an MBA?

    I have my MBA from MIT Sloan. I did learn a lot and make great connections while there. I graduated last year so it is too early to tell if it will pay dividends monetarily, but I would say it is worth the connections alone. I could go on for hours, but I will say that if you are considering...

    Which house to potentially buy?

    I would stick with the house you are in now. Not moving saves some money, lots of hassle, and you know you like the house and probably know all the quirks of it. You can probably also negotiate some new appliances or flooring in the place you are now. Buying new is great, but if the schools...

    Is this an example of a cushy government job?

    I was going to say the same, and the fact that 85% he would of had to work for 45 years for the fed. OP also said 25 years which would be less than 50% with CSRS.

    Is this an example of a cushy government job?

    If you plan on working for 35 years for the government it turns out to be 35% + 3.5% = 38.5% <== not too shabby of a pension! 1.1% is used per year instead of 1% if you have 20 years and retire at 62 or later,

    Is this an example of a cushy government job?

    Actually you should get a pension if you are a GS employee. It is 1% per year (versus 2% for the old system). At least that is the case for FERS employees (new system) versus CRSR(i forget the right acronym) employees. The old system does not receive or pay into social security and does not...

    Is this an example of a cushy government job?

    Um.. I'm sitting here, a fed, and part of the union. I think certain jobs might not be allowed to unionize, supervisory positions and above, no different than most places.

    At WHAT POINT do you need a MBA?

    I'm a first year MBA at MIT Sloan. My undergrad is EE and I left a job where I would have been making 90K. What do I expect to get out of it? As many have mentioned I wanted a change of pace. I could have gotten there without a MBA, but by getting it from a top school I now can leverage a...

    What kind job can my GF get?

    My wife got her masters at Harvard GSE and makes 60 - 70 K one year out (actually, 1 year will be this May). Just need to know how to network. Her degree wasn't in policy though, maybe that's the difference. On that note, now I'm getting my master's degree and hoping to land a job that...

    How did you decide what you wanted to do for a living?

    I'd say go with a hobby (unless its gaming). ECE sounds like a good choice it all depends on the job you end up taking. I did ECE with a minor in business. Worked the past 6 years at an R&D facility basically 'playing' with interesting tech the whole time and now I'm back in school getting an...

    Possible life changing decision

    Pension is 1 - 1.1% of your salary for every year you work. % is based on the average of your "high 3". The 3 highest salaries you made during your work. I think it gets adjusted for cost of living as well. I think you lose locality pay with your pension as well. In addition you also get...

    Anyone here order groceries online before?

    I do it all the time. Fruits, Veggies, and herbs are fresher then anything you'll find in the store. I use Peapod (Stop and shop), they take your stuff from the warehouse before it gets sent to the store. Sales are different then in store and prices are a little higher in general (or maybe...

    Possible life changing decision

    I'm leaving a 12 position to go to grad school... in order to pry me away from my job I needed to get into one of the top business schools to make it worth it. I also gave up a 13 when I applied and got in. I'll be more then happy in 10-15 years to come back to the gov't. I'm 27 right now, I...

    I'm taking a stand!

    Yeah, using dual screens takes some skill. It's hard to minimize so much when someone walks into the office. 3.4 Dual Core here with 2 GB. We get new machines every 3 years here cause IT likes having the on-site warranty. I wasn't even complaining when I got this upgrade, they just showed up...

    mortgage / home selling advice

    Ditch the house and rent at your new place. If you can cover the loss and your new job pays that much more go for it. You won't get any tax break unless you have capital gains to offset. You can list yourself on MLS (flat fee to do it) to save 1/2 the commission and still reach most people...

    Is it hard to get a security clearance?

    It is standard for a job offer to be contingent upon that. They will hire you before and you just go through the process while working. If you get denied you get booted. Secret will come quick (<1 year) , anything else you'll have interim for a while.

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    I think I got everyone's comments down! My monthly payment is actually very low, I'll be paying more in rent. But I won't have to worry about all the fun things that come along with owning a house! As for the mortgage write off, paying 50K for school each year is a nice write off and will...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    1. Maybe his house is in a different location than the Graduate School and that is why he had to sell. Taking care of an out-of-town rental property while doing graduate studies could keep one pretty busy. Nope, grad school is Boston. I have other reasons. I don't want to be a landlord and...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    The basic reason is that if the roof goes, the heating system, or anything else, I will not be working and would have to take on more debt (via a HELOC or other means) to repair. There is also the constant maintenance (mowing, painting, etc) that comes into play. I had 25% equity in my house...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    I acquired my home through a poker game. Just kidding. I used a Realtor that sold my last house. Back then the MLS listing only option wasn't really there. It was just FSBO. I valued her help for the first time, but looking back, she didn't add any value to my house search (she had...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    You are probably correct. I didn't think it would sell that fast. I wish I had listed at 425,000 or 430,000. Hindsight is always 20/20.

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    Had I gone with an agent I would of paid 4 - 5 %, I dropped the price by the 3% that I saved and factored in paying the 2% to buyers agent. An appraisal (professional one, not just a realtor) put my house value at 430 K. See my post one up about what Realtors told me. I listed at 420,000...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    The point is I sold in 7 days by dropping the price. I took 1 day off of work and had an open house that lasted 3 hours on a Sunday. I talked to 4 Realtors, 2 said they would not take the listing if I wanted to ask more then 420,000. One said 425,000 and the other was out in left field and...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    I interviewed 4 Realtors... I'd say 3 of them were probably borderline unethical. Not showing the house I don't think they would do if a client pointed it out, but not telling their client about the house is probably a gray area for them. Well, it was a little too big (or stove was electric...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    You preset what commission you want to pay when you list on MLS. here in MA you can set it at anything, even 0%. With that said, I choose 2% because that is the low end of "average". Listing at 0% you may as well not list on MLS and just use the paper to advertise. After talking to people I...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    I could of had the buyer pay for the commission, but if I had 0% no Realtor would of shown the house in the first place. Even at 2% some Realtors were pains. Basically when you use a Realtor to look for houses they control things. If you don't go looking up housing on an MLS web page...

    Sold my house in 7 days...

    I'm amazed. I had to sell my house to go to grad school this fall. I talked to several Realtors (4) and was unimpressed with them all. 2 were owners of their offices for big name franchises. I decided to list myself paying someone to put me on MLS. I took the 12K that I was saving by...
