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
