  1. I'm a senior engineer with 8 years of experience. Just took 6 months off. About time to go back. I highly recommend people take long stretches of time off from time to time.

  2. I mean, the market is rarely ever in sync with the real economy.

  3. the laws should favor citizen non-investors. It's the simple. Housing should not be an investment.

  4. The real reason that utah has so many babies is because of the high mormon population...

  5. I'm working 2 full time jobs ~350k/yr so I can stack cash and buy at the bottom in 2-3 years.

  7. the reason is that people are strapped for cash in this recession, and EVs cost more. Its no deeper than that. Anyone thats ridden in a tesla knows they are a superior vehicle

  8. I burned out too. I used all my savings to take about a year off. When I decided it was time to go back to work the market was in the toilet. Now I'm having trouble finding work. I got a job, but they had layoffs on my 5th week and I was included in that. Now I have a new job in the queue but they keep pushing the start date out. Essentially I've gone almost 18 months without an income and im almost out of cash. It's scary. And the thing is, im not sure if my burnout will come back fast or not. I really dont know what to do.
