6 Figures 6 Certs Random Thoughts Thread

[phcitywarrior]

I'm seeing a lot of new cars these days....

Could the car industry collapse trigger the next recession?

General consumer debt is getting larger and larger as people are getting more confident in the economy. Interest rates are already rising as the government is trying to cool of the economy a bit.

Ford is already looking to move away from being simply a car company and more of a transportation ecosystem (Can an Industrial Giant Become a Tech Darling? (Ep. 357) - Freakonomics)

I guess all it would take is one major car company to fold and then all the other ones would start looking funny in the light.

The time to start stacking is now. When the next recession hits dudes can come off crazy.

The dudes that bought up in 2007-2009 made off like bandits.

I don't think it's the car industry itself, but the loans. 60 month, 72 month, 84 month terms are fooling people into thinking they can afford something they can't.

Just landed a 3 year contract working at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I start Tuesday! I'm so hyped. 100% paid benefits (Employee only), but adding my daughter was only $276 a month. Not 6 figures, but close and they will pay for any job related certifications. My goal is to be debt free, house and everything at the end of the 3 years, God willing.

Bruh this thread is filled with so much wisdom, gonna be bookmarking a lot of this game in here while in my studies moving forward. Discipline = Freedom.

Also, quick question. What's ya'lls opinion on home buying vs renting at the moment. Not looking to buy a home at the moment but just wanted to hear some thoughts on when or when it's not a good investment.

I prefer the flexibility/cost savings of renting in case I need to move for jobs. However, if you have roots/family and plan on staying 5+ yeas, owning can be a fine option.

I'm of the belief that you should rent to save. Not rent to live big. If you're renting "big" (new high rise luxury apartments) then just agree with yourself that you aren't trying to save for a home.

The murmurs are already happening. 2019 is going to be a very very interesting year. What is going to be the first crack?

I have a bunch of phone interviews and I might be able to rent a 1 bedroom apartment for not much more than I paying now. Things are looking up.

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

Refreshed my resume and LinkedIn. Not looking for anything but with the right offer I could be convinced to jump ship. Pay increase needs to be substantial though and I'll need them to pony up for the lost 401k match.

 

[phcitywarrior]

Another one of my co-workers jumped ship from my department. He was the 2nd person to dip less than a year in.

Spooky times.

I'll probably postpone my Christmas trip to Nigeria and chill stateside and grind out for another position.
