honestly just look up the address of your prospective job and zoom out a bit on google maps and start clicking on restaurants in the area. look at their menus to get an idea of what a “nice” lunch would cost you at those places (theres quite a range depending on how much food you consider filling or if we’re talking takeout vs sit-down)

This isn’t even worthy of its own Reddit thread let alone police assistance for lost (not even stolen) AirPods

My god really? Do you think these folks do this because they know there won’t be any ramifications? you run that risk of what this guy ran into. But I’d have run back at the guy not away from. choose your battles wisely.

The Find My app doesn’t work? A couple of weeks ago, my Ipad and Airpods starting sending messages to my phone if I even left them in my car.

Please report this to the police. Even if they do fuck all about it it's another data point about an assault on a pedestrian and these need to be documented.

In a day where police departments are so short staffed and overloaded with work, you think they will stop all they are working on to focus on finding your AirPods!? It’s really that important to you, go hire a private detective to locate it for you. The cheapest alternative might be to chalk this up in the L column and buy some new ones.

OP, glad you're safe. In future, please rethink giving the middle finger to anyone anywhere. There are a lot of mentally ill people who are not supposed to drive but are on the road anyways. One time a woman driver showed me what looked like a 7 inch knife because I honked when she didn't turn right after lights turned green and it's been a few seconds she's been sitting. That was on Newbury St. These days it's best to keep your head down and ignore unless someone directly attacks you, no guarantee anyone will show up on time to protect you. Better safe not engaging psychos out there

If you’re going to be near Lexington expect rent prices to be $2k-$3k plus depending on size/bedrooms/updates etc.
Don’t know what you’re debt situation is like with monthly repayments but I think between the two of you for a half decent apartment, being able to afford “nice” lunches, and meet other monthly payments you guys both combined need to bring in a min of $200k and even then you might feel like you’re living pay check to pay check if you have other costly expenses.

But of course NIMBYs won’t let enough housing be built.

Get a new bag for this if needed and look online for bags other folks recommend as their hospital bags. Get it in a less common color or in a pattern. So many people have black bags. I always get an ugly pattern to make sure I can see my bag.
Get one that is waterproof.
Get some one pouch makeup organizer to organize the small things including phone chargers.
Pre pack the bag in advance. Include phone chargers and bricks for both phones, long cords are ideal, colored items are ideal so you don’t lose them.
Bring a non electronic timekiller as well, in case you can’t use electronics for some reason.
Get maternity underwear and pads in advance.
Bring change of clothing.
Face wash and a face cloth towel.
Makeup wipes or face wipes.
Moisturizer for the face. Lotion — light and buildable. I like the aloe one from Jergen’s or Neutrogena. I forgot. Sheet masks if you want.
Hand sanitizer. Chapstick. Hand lotion. Nipple cream.
Light blanket. Heavy blanket.

Thank you. The concept of a vegetarian chain is absolutely unheard of where e I'm from. We've got enough fried chicken to kill...well kill a human pretty quickly from heart disease.

Day to day cost of living will be more expensive here but the cost of housing will be by far the biggest difference. TBH I can definitely get a reasonably nice lunch around here for the price you listed if we’re talking take out. Sit down would be a bit more expensive than that though.
Others are correct that depending on how big of an apartment/house you want your mortgage here would be more like $2,000-$3,000 per month as opposed to $900.

You’d be fine with that income in this area, and I assume that any offer would be noticeably more than that. So I’d suggest asking again, but giving the type of career and how many years experience in the career. You should be putting more emphasis on what’s a fair salary than on how much you need to get by.
Do be aware that much of the housing stock is older, and hence smaller than what you might be used to. Pay attention to what parking is like, since you can’t assume there will be dedicated parking for two cars. Also, dogs can be an issue for renting.
Since you asked about lunch, I’ll throw in that I get takeout from a small vegetarian fast-casual chain called Clover, and their sandwiches and platters start around $11-13. But they change their menu regularly to match locally available produce, and it’s generally healthier food than you’d get at most sandwich shops. I don’t honestly know what prices are like at McDs or Subway these days.

Another sign of gentrification. We need to stop this madness of adding new tall buildings.

Maybe Malden would be a good option for you , close to Boston with some transit but you can still dodge all the traffic and 30min to Lexington. A lot of nice condos out there.

You can totally get it mailed to you, I've done it three separate times off eBay. Licensing is the seller's problem, not the buyer's.
