But I feel like I could do a decent job, maybe. Plus I'm very admittedly not the best engineer, but I'm usually good at seeing if engineering processes can be improved or things like that. Probably still another 3-5 years from being able to do that though and I'd have to find a place that can take a chance on me for it.

On that note, I'm constantly hearing people say "only techies can afford to buy a home in the Bay Area!" I really want to at least get a condo/townhome so I can start using my monthly cost as an investment.
Just spent the past half hour browsing Redfin and I have no idea how anybody can afford these places :\. I'm a "techie" and can't afford _anything_. Maybe I really should move to a landlocked state and work remotely :|. I've looked at Colorado a bit, just because I went there to get Haru and I know his siblings are still there, and I know one mutual friend who moved there to work as an SWE remotely simply because he could actually buy a sizable house for his family to grow in there.

Dude, there are so many ways to be great at "engineering," just give energy to those you love and the work will find you.

Ok, you all might find this funny. My magnetic angle gauge took a short ride on the face of my brake rotor. Held on past 50mph too lol.

Was a quick potato run. Didn't want to drop in unannounced. Had to sing for my supper.

honestly I don't love the idea of leaving california, there are a lot of things I like being able to do that wouldn't be so easy elsewhere. But that's why it costs so much. I was browsing more Redfin/Zillow a bit ago and I may have to do something like moving to Walnut Creek or someplace else in the Tri-Valley, I think? Dublin? This way I'm still around the Bay but in a more affordable area. Just on a quick browse I'm seeing condos/townhomes for on average 150-200k less there, which is more doable. Just not my favorite area, but as my parents said to me before sometimes the starter home is in a less desirable area . My current lease is up in March next year so I'm not in a rush but the next 6 months or so will probably consist of more casual browsing and wishful thinking that interest rates will drop.
