Is the Gladiator losing interest with buyers?

The other way into tech is through the less popular "non-college" technology schools that everybody turns their noses up to. SO you don't have many people coming in that way either.

True. Everywhere I have worked has required at least a bachelors degree. They don't care what your degree is in, but you gotta have one.

Degree in art history and a coding bootcamp? They will give you a shot.

No degree but coding bootcamp and project portfolio? Sorry, not qualified.

The UAW is set to strike mid-September which will skyrocket prices if they walk.

Let the contract expire, offer them a job as non union, it's not like installing bumpers requires craftsman anymore, anyone could be training to install parts

Wow, even this thread got turned into a political statement? Are you kidding? People are desparate these days...

Are you kidding, you don't think the push to electric and the destruction of ICE isn't political?

Exactly. There are some places right now being filled with "migrants" who are desperate for food and shelter. Bring them in and have uaw workers train them so they can take over their positions and then the uaw can go get better paying jobs perhaps in coding.

Over the last three years my 401k is up over 30%, my house value has more than doubled, 50% increase in salary, my savings is paying 4.65%, and all my investments are up.

Absolutely miserable economy.

Over the last three years the CPI is up 30% so you are breaking even on your 401k.

Your house value has doubled. If you haven't sold it then you haven't gained anything. I'm guessing your property taxes and insurance have gone up. So you have more money going out the door but you don't have any real gains. If you sold your house and moved your new house would cost 100% more.

50% increase in salary is awesome, you are well ahead on that one.

your savings are up 4.65% and inflation is up 3x that amount

Well I cashed all the equity out at 2.68%, and all that money is earning more than that now. I fought the last tax appraisal, and got them to drop the value by $150k, so it's around half of what it appraised at when I refinanced. Then Idaho increased the primary residence tax exemption by 50%, so my taxes have actually gone down. Insurance went up a little, just because the cost to rebuild in the event of a total loss has gone up. I don't think I would sell it, I can airbnb this place for 2x the mortgage or more, the smaller one next door does $10k a month on average.
