Reply to How much 401k loan should I take? by tomsen12
How long will it take you to pay back the 401k? If you could pay it back quickly, I don’t see it has harmful as others might. I took 10K from 401k but it was paid back in like a year and my retirement is still well ahead of the typical markers.
But if it can’t be paid back quickly, I would not touch my retirement. If your house appreciates or once you get to 20% you can get it taken off most mortgages.

Reply to Gyms: YMCA vs vida by cjazz24
VIDA has way better equipment but I go to the Y because it is cheaper and closer to my home (which in the morning before work makes a big difference to me). But I get really frustrated with the Y’s slack of equipment. They somehow lost equipment after the pandemic too - like I don’t even know how that happened. It’s good enough but if something better opened I would switch in a second.
I don’t do classes so can’t say one way or the other.

The weather is all relative. If you are used to warm temperatures, it will feel pretty cold. it DC winters are pretty mild but it does get a few weeks of some pretty cold weather every winter.
Hard to give advice about where you should live without a budget in mind. Arlington is not cheaper than DC - sometimes it is more expensive. But is has lots of apartments, nightlife, and accessible transportation. Where will you be working?
Most people who have been in DC for a long time will tell you not to love in the suburbs. Personally, city life is the only life for me - really don’t like the DC suburbs. That is such a subjective determination based on your own wants comfort needs. All neighborhoods in DC and the various suburbs all have different vibes and pros/cons.

If the flash went off, you didn’t stop where you are supposed to. Learn the rules and you won’t get tickets or harm anyone. Pay it.

Like others have said - I don’t think it is on Anthem but the promoter. Either way I’m very angry. I bought these presale before the allegations and at least 50% because Beck was on the ticket. I can’t go to this show with these serious allegations.

Reply to lol at the police ticketing and towing the cars that are literally parked on the shoulder of 66 by the Kennedy Center by mikeydhakid
I know it is always packed at the cherry blossom festival but I don’t recall the car issue being this absurd in the past?! Maybe I just forget how it was in the before times. Seriously though, why aren’t they closing the roads to anyone without a disability placard or shuttle busses? Seems like there are solutions here.
