    Irvine Valley College - The Blue Ocean Strategy to UCLA

    I think the view on the full college experience and its benefits will probably change if it hasn’t already. The full college experience made sense when it was affordable. Now it is not affordable for most families. If your choices are $400k for the full college experience vs $200k by living at...

    ICE or EV?

    I tend to agree with everything you said. I’m curious what OCtoSV would say, I believe he is the one said Tesla would never be caught and will leave everyone on their dust.

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    The initial gain is $1M ($2.5M sales price less $1.5M purchase price). Selling costs would be about $125,000 (5% x $2.5M) so the adjusted gain is $875,000. Next we would subtract $500,000 for the gain exemption (assumes married), so the taxable gain $375,000. The taxes would be as follows: -...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    If you sell a home that is worth $3M that you bought for $1M, you would have a $2M gain. For simplicity we will assume no selling costs and assuming married filing jointly and capital tax rate of 20%. After the $500k exemption you are paying long term capital gains taxes of 20% for federal on...

    IUSD might not be best for college admission

    To me it’s about letting kids be kids and enjoy their youth. They have their entire adult life to work and deal with marriage, kids, shitty bosses, working 60 hour weeks in their 20s etc. Society seems to be shifting and putting more pressure on kids from the time they are 7-8 years old. It’s...

    Chilis normally has good lunch deals and if you have the app they always have a free appetizer or dessert with the purchase of an entree. Red Robin has a good kids special on Wednesday. With the purchase of an entree you can get up to 4 kids meal at 50% off.

    Taco Tuesday

    If you have the Taco Bell app you can get early access to the cantina chicken taco and the cantina chicken quesadilla. The full cantina menu comes out on 3/21 if I remember correctly. I have always preferred my chicken in tacos to be shredded but not many places offer shredded chicken, so this...

    I read that article about Korea not being a god place to raise it. Can’t remember if it was on cnbc or yahoo. If what the article was saying is true I feel bad for kids there, well everyone there actually. It was about a woman not wanting to have kids and not yet telling her parents she wasn’t...
