re: Hit your salary cap at work

Posted by dillpickleLSU on 3/9/25 at 6:44 pm
My cap was changed. I am now above my pay grade and above the next pay grade. I was going to stick it out for the 11 percent pension, well about that….it got reduced to 3 percent, so I am looking. Most of the folks ready to retire aren’t looking, but I have 15-20 years left and I want career growth.
….not asking for apprentices and masters, specifically looking for a Louisiana Licensed Electrical Contractor? I have some questions if you could email me at derekleblanc80@gmail.com

TIA

re: Tips for negotiating a car lease

Posted by dillpickleLSU on 12/11/24 at 10:07 am
Actually with some Toyota leases this is correct…it was correct with my Tacoma…residual was 2k less than market…and likely would have been correct with my tundra…residual was 30k….im sure it would have been worth more
1. Read up on leasehackr
2. Make the deal with as little money down as putting money down on a lease is stupid
3. Don’t lease through us bank or ally especially with a hybrid or EV

I just got out of leasing…this is how they went

1. Leased a GMC Acadia…had a Yukon with a bunch of equity and took the equity to pay off some bills…didn’t make any money or owe any at the end

2. Turned in the Acadia leased a Tacoma. Made 2k at the end towards a lease on a tundra.

3. Crazy Covid times…they offered me 12k to give the tundra back

4. I leased a jeep wrangler 4xe….the residual is 40k and it’s worth less than 30k….i turn it in tomorrow and already bought a new f150 because I was over miles on the jeep
I was affected. The pay cuts I was forced to take made me take a job near Philly because it was offering double the salary plus per diem, a truck allowance and gas card. I tried for years to move back, instead went to Chicago, Long Island and back to Philly
Hey HC how’s the little lamb or sheep or whatever it was….
Mine is up, but only because we fly to NO Christmas Day and leave for a cruise on the 28th

I haven’t lived in the area in a while obviously but it definitely has gone way downhill…I still catch up with people down there pretty often

re: 2nd Job / Side Hustles

Posted by dillpickleLSU on 7/12/24 at 7:21 pm
I have a day job that has a lot of dead periods and work that comes in late in the evening. I finished my basement while I was doing it so I thought, I can do this as a side hustle. I’ve been doing handyman work and remodels. This year my day job was really slow and I was able to pull off 2 kitchens but I’m doing a basement next and that’s really where I need to be. I’ve done a lot of different things though, backup sump pumps, water softeners, EV chargers, and if I have to pull a permit, I make sure it’s a municipality where a homeowner can do their own work and make them pull it
