  1. Just wanna chat about cciv and Lucid today. Straight cash money
  2. That was my favorite for a long time. Right up until 2015
  3. There's a lot of money to be made. But it's a lot of management and Amazon mandates a lot of your decisions. If you don't have a manager that really hustles and you trust, it's trouble. Make sure you get someone who cares and executes.
  4. Great if you need something pandemic safe, as a bridge job, or even something bigger related to driving in the long term. I'm the former. But there's a definite path to positive financial gain unlike some of the larger companies. Amazon will never be a long term option, but there is room for growth into operations. Health insurance benefits are a great plus. Pay for me a delivery driver through a dsp is $19. If you enjoy the thought of working alone, listening to sports radio, or podcasts, and getting out and active on the street, it's perfect. I would recommend looking into FedEx or ups if you enjog it. Pay is better and grows over time. There's also a huge benefit to having dot medical or cdl. They need people to truck this crap in, and they pay there is much better. So bottom line, if you want to start in something new. I loved it for that. I am heading to a utility job in the summer months, and wanted to get into shape while making modest cash. They vet as well as they can in my opinion. But it's a pandemic. Management is stretched thin. Not their fault. If you pass background test and drug test you're in. They do kick people out of training. Happened twice during my class. Amazon is constantly growing, it's an unbelievable operation once you understand fulfillment side. If you enjoy that, it's only a 10k cost to buy your own delivery service partner ownership that can make 75-300k a year.
  5. Too warm for us means potential weenie trip north. I know your hands must be tied for one of those right now though.
  6. There are worse things to have than a dry January, like a dry February. At least if I had the choice. Dry both? See you in April lol
  7. Rev kev and ray live ppv $69.69
  8. Shockingly enough, Amazon has reduced my hours delivering from five to four days. Still 36 hours of pay. But a little shocking considering current state of the world. Maybe they hired too many seasonal drivers. Inside word is they are trying to weed out some of the bad drivers. They assured me I was not one of them lol
  9. About to start delivering for Amazon right now. This will be interesting.
  10. Probably just two high school kids finding somewhere to be alone
  11. Growing up, I had one big rat that would protect all the other little rats in my yard. Now I only see bunny rabbits because of the yuppies. I moved to Dorchester, now I have rats again.
  12. For me it's family. I don't want to commute through the city to see my family. I went to HS in Cambridge though. So I do have friends on both sides of the demarcation line.
  13. Which I am. My fiance is refusing private schools too. She wants public. Which is new to me as a Boston kid. I'm fine with free school. But if my kids are good athletes, I'd consider prep. But who knows at this stage. I'm getting married in 2022 and she doesn't want go be pregnant during the wedding. So probably first kid 2023.
  14. I'll be in this 400-600k range I think, all math considered. I doubt we'll be looking at new construction now that I think about it. Probably a place in very good shape, not great. Can live in and work on a bit for 2-5 years. Fit 1 to 2 kids before upgrading. Dedham, Norwood, Braintree, Milton, Westwood, Canton, Walpole, Sharon, etc. Second home probably further away. If it's on the southern side of things, Mansfield, Easton, Foxboro, Bridgewater. If it's on the western side I like Natick, Southborough, Westborough, etc.. Not going to name all directions but you get the general distance and idea. Would love to look at some of your portfolio and work if you would direct message me?
  15. Definitely sales outside of Boston. I think that's a great boom for the health of the area. Kids my age don't really see the point in paying city prices. Apartments along 495 are the type of structures I worry about if we over build closer to the city. Many more transit oriented developments in Boston proper going up. I'd feel better about investing 495 belt if it's a single family or two family. 200 unit apartment buildings are going to be easy to come by at end of the line MBTA stops outside of the city in a few years.
  16. I expect prices to stall out a bit. As much as I said continued boom, there will be a ceiling on prices. We're starting to get into territory within 128 where it simply can't go any higher.
  17. Neponset/Dorchester was 300k for a triple decker give years ago. Now it's 850k for a triple decker (not reno)
  18. You have to let me know what areas you work in.... If you know any developers from you on north to 128 I'll be looking for a starter home in the next year or so.
  19. When are they gonna give you a break? Wrap up surgery I assume? Your back is one hell of a mess my friend
  20. There's always another storm. A good time to miss a snowstorm = Vegas honeymoon. Could be worse. Imagine being stuck post operation inside. Oof
  21. I wonder if buyers start to consider wfh effects on dependents. Suburbia will be the ultimate winner As metro grows and people realize more will be living at home. Kids leaving the nests later. It's inevitable. Have to live within transit system
  22. I see what you're saying. Sometimes I misread because I'm watching Netflix at the same time. I totally agree with you. I'm just so worried about this next generation of lower income bostonians. A lot have cashed in on their family 3 decker. For many, leaving the state is the best option. Kinda sad for some of the young kids who may want to live here, but have more of a blue collar background.
