Considering making the move this year for my young kids. We have 3 kids under 6. One of the reasons we’re thinking about this is the school district coming from a small town.
First, has your mindset about your career shifted? Especially if you came from the bay.
Second, pros /cons about school district compared to old? Would you recommend the move?
Thanks
I took Prilosec for 4 weeks. I weaned off about 3 weeks ago. I’m still on sucralfate which has been very helpful. I’m curious if you felt symptoms a few weeks after Prilosec?
I had a good experience with Prilosec despite the ups & downs. I didn’t have a hard time getting off of it. However 3 weeks later, I feel stomach burning (especially when stressed)
Anyone else have any symptoms 3 weeks PPI? Does everything settle in the next few weeks?
Our family doesn’t have many immediate family. When it comes to birthdays we have our small community and a few cousins try to make effort with. One cousin in particular has been very difficult but we’ve made effort because the dads are close and we want the kids to spend time together. When it was my daughter’s birthday we sent out a party invite and they canceled one hour before. Then we noticed they had a small gathering and my kids weren’t invited.
I feel lots of anger. Me constantly making effort and staying positive but naturally I have these feelings. I found out through social media. We saw siblings but also friends.
Now I’m not looking to blame anyone. There’s a lot of context we don’t know. Sure it could be last minute but family did drive over an hour.
How do you manage these natural feelings moms have when it’s about your kids? My second daughter’s birthday is coming up & they were on the list.
Please be nice
No union. Kids are in elementary. We are in California.
My partner and I are debating whether it’s worth leaving an okay-ish school district in California for a stronger one before our kids get older.
One thing that keeps coming up is how many people I know who did really well in a smaller town or average district, but then got to college and felt academically behind compared to students from more competitive districts/schools.
Looking back, do you think the district mattered a lot, somewhat, or not really?
Has anyone moved specifically for a better school district in the Bay Area and looking back, was it worth it?
Curious how you measured “worth it” was it test scores? How your kid thrived socially? College outcomes? Or something harder to quantify like the culture of the school community?
Would love to hear from people who made the jump (and those who decided against it). Both perspectives welcome.
Thanks
Those of you that moved from an average school district to then into schools in Livermore or Pleasanton area. Was it worth it? What stuck out the most compared to other districts? We have young kids and trying to figure out if we can stay and supplement or if it’s worth the move long term.
Thanks
I put in 15% into retirement and my company matches 50%. I max my Roth IRA, I have two 529 for my kids that we’re building. We have a joint brokerage and we have over 6 months of savings due to uncertainty and layoffs.
With that said, where do I put my 2-3k extra a month?
My Roth IRA goes to VOO & VTI. Do I do the same for index funds/ETF under joint brokerage?
Thanks
Local tea room is selling. I’m in the very preliminary stages but she is charging $100k for everything inside (equipment and all) plus her 6 part time staff said they can stay. The $100k feels very steep. There is a $2k rent for now which I would have to consider if there’s an increase after lease ends. In the early stages but her numbers showed roughly $250k revenue with $70k profit. This was a $10k increase from the year before. She is selling because she is retiring. Keep in mind she hasn’t taken advantage of social media as much, menu has stayed the same and so much more. There’s opportunity to add a few more events and spruce up the outdoor space to make it more event friendly & redo the gift shop. Oh one other thing, it is only open 4 days a week for 6 hours.
We have the full funds to pay for the $100k if we wanted to.
Initial thoughts? What red flags should I look for when walking through next week? I’m really excited about this and feels in line with something I can actually tackle.
Initial thought is take ownerships and run as is for the first quarter, learn everything and then slowly make changes to drive more revenue.
Thank you
