Only 10 mph over 😂

Yea I know someone who makes the same amount my wife and I do but who recently bought an 800k house and then immediately had the already granite kitchen ripped out and updated again for another 30k as well as the deck ripped up and expanded with the trex deck stuff. All super expensive.

In reality, they have massive amounts of debt and retirement won’t happen until much later in life if at all.

You don’t have to keep up with the Jones’s.

Yeah, it’s been a growing problem for volunteer departments throughout the country. It is certainly not unique to Jamestown, and to be honest they do pretty well given their size and geographical isolation. I thought you were blaming the lack of a paid department on housing availability which is simply not the case.

They can’t get enough volunteers. Look I’m not trying to discredit Jamestown, but this problem will become bigger as long as the housing crisis continues. I’m quoting a recent article, not just pulling this out of my ass. It’s going to grow larger, and I don’t think any young people will be able to live on aquineck island in 10 years time.

Jamestown has had, and will continue to have an all volunteer Fire Department. While it’s true that it is prohibitively expensive to live here and our housing stock is extremely limited and shitty zoning laws are holding us back, none of that has anything to do with staffing the fire department.

Ah got it, that makes sense

Just curious what banking roles are in Rhodey? I work in IB in CT and would love to find an IB, PE, or private credit role in RI but did not think there were many opps

I teach 🥲

Good school districts. I live in the woods but only about 6 minutes from the highway so not too far removed.

Jamestown can’t even staff a full fire department due to how limited the housing there is. They can’t get enough young folks to work there because the rent is too high and the pay off is too low. Eventually you’ll see these areas suffering.

That's a stupid question

It's offensive because gay people aren't pedophiles, Republicans are

I live in Scituate and I'm far from Maga and Q because I'm not a moron

DINK = double income no kids, I’m assuming WAD = with a dog

Where’s the peloton room? Don’t see it in the pics on Zillow

Wtf is a dinkwad?

broke as a bitch. asm at a small retail store and earning a master’s degree by night. husband is a blue collar worker. Together we maybe bring in 55k.

we want nothing more than to own a home somewhere far away from everyone and everything and where we can do nothing but lay in the grass by day and game epicly by night

I'm a senior product manager for a tech company that was headquartered in Boston when I joined but is now based in DC, with all the former Boston employees fully remote. (I was hired with the understanding that I would never go into Boston more than once or twice a week.) I've got almost 25 years of experience. My wife is a civil engineer for a local company.

We bought a big fancy house a year ago because we wanted it and could afford it, plus both of us work from home most days and dedicated office space for both of us is key. Zero boats. We could maybe afford one but we'd sure be saving a whole lot less, if anything.

Can definitely speak to the truth of passing down homes in many of the close knit communities. I helped sell a home in Bristol last year and the neighbors on either side had both been there for decades and the family who owned the home was on their third generation!

Owning your own home puts you ahead of most people so congrats!

There's a bunch of labs in RI. Since you're wanting to live near Brown, you can try Lifespan. Labs that come to mind: Dominion, East Side Clinical, or Quest.

Work smarter, not harder. If you're doing that well then really no true need to burn yourself out and not get to enjoy the non-work aspects of life
