What country are you from? Certain countries have a fast track to a Massachusetts license. Here’s some info on it, but it’s worth calling the RMV if your country isn’t listed. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/information-for-converting-certain-foreign-drivers-licenses#contact

Edit: also, you should be able to drive on your foreign license with an International Drivers Permit. The IDP is good for one year.

Coffee time in Salem has it, they also have Pączki. I have never had New Orleans style king cake so I gave no idea if it’s a good example. The paczki were tasty, the king cake looked a little weird.

I was replying to the “10-20% down” comment. Noting that if someone had the option to put 10-20% down, whatever percentage to avoid PMI would save ( for you $70x12=$840/yr ) and be the better option.

They're around but there either rented as separate units or the owner lives there and rents out the other part. You'll have to buy to find what you are looking for or rent two apartments in the same building.

Household higher than that and went to NH. Anything inside of 495 north of Boston the last two years had crazy prices for places that needed a ton of work.

There are pros and cons but when all's said and done you probably won't make significantly more money than before. You may very well end up making less. Obviously the biggest pro is freedom to work the jobs you want, on your own schedule, and for many (including myself), that's worth what effectively amounts to a pay cut.

The cons are no paid time off, not eligible for unemployment, no employer-subsidized health insurance, no dental insurance, no employer matching 401k or other retirement program, more taxes, more paperwork, etc. Also, the sheer responsibility of it all can be exhausting. You know those days where you're just not feeling it so you slack off and read Reddit instead of working? Well, when you're self-employed you no longer get paid to do that.

I have twice said that I am not referring to your sub Reddit. What are you asking me? Do you want me to give you links to examples outside of Reddit of white supremacy, groups being drawn to Anglish?

I’m not going to do that. If you can’t see why a movement to purify the English language back to its German roots is appealing to white supremacists I can’t help you.

I’m not saying that your sub Reddit is a haven for white supremacy. I’m saying that I, personally, don’t want anything to do with it based on my personal experience of having a step son who is a white supremacist.

It technically wouldn't take too long to get a license assuming that you can meet the requirements and pass the tests.

Assuming you are over 18 all you need to do is:

1. Get a learner's permit (requires taking a multiple choice test on Massachusetts road laws and a vision test)

2.Schedule a driver's test (which requires getting access to a car that meets the requirements and a sponsor who needs to be 21 years of age or older, have a year of driving experience, and possess a valid driver's license in any US state)

You can do 900 sq ft condo in Quincy or similar if you want to be able to commute to Boston

Time travel to 2012. The inner south shore. I’ve 4x my income and refinanced, quality of life is a wash.

You must have never been here for a real winter.

Bakeries around me have them on display. I'm south of Boston.

PMI is not nearly as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Mine is like $70 per month, I pay more for my cable/internet bill. That's hardly a big deal when you consider what your mortgage will be in most parts of MA anyways.

I don't think there are many situations in a high housing cost state like MA where someone could otherwise afford the mortgage on a house but can't because of the PMI amount.

Oh you were born before 2015?

> So you deny the rationale for having in-law suites entirely?

Opinion:

I think it would be ideal, but as others have pointed out, realistically, it usually is not an option either due to limited physical availability or financial availability.

Nothing crazy about these pies, but they’re cheap, perfectly sized, good enough treats with a unique brand that they’ve become extraordinarily popular.

Jesus fuck that article is terribly formatted lol. It sounds like it was written by AI

Not gonna lie I picked up one of their full size coconut custard pies from Big Y as a last min dessert to bring to a relatives on New Years Eve and it got wiped out. People said not bad, not bad. No one believed it was Table Top. Stand up local company. I'd eat all these little pies.

So you deny the rationale for having in-law suites entirely?

Yeah I picked up a tick in the second week of february. Hiking the summer is going to be tick hell.

Paisano’s, Florence Pizza, A-1, and FILO’s are all owned by the same Greek Family:). All have delicious Greek style pizza.

That number is pretty close to my household income, we live in Westfield.

Remember Pi Day is next month! It’s a great day to eat some Table Talk pies. I usually do.

Sitting outside gore right now with me fingers crossed.
