Seeking perspective – mortgage refi? Welcoming all feedback and angles I have not considered $230k left on a home values at $750k 11 years left at 6.375pct. Monthly is about $2300 without taxes or ins Payments are within tolerance – meaning it’s not killing me, but would be nice to open up cash flow Thoughts on refi to a 10yr / 15yr /30yr loan? I see benefits/drawbacks to paying it…

Costa Rica Perspective I’ve recently read some rather negative things about Costa Rica on this sub. My wife and I would like to visit as a “pre-baby, we’re still having fun” trip within the next year. I went to Costa Rica with my cousin in 2015 (before wife) and had the time of my life. We rented a car in the Osa Peninsula, eventually going to Arenal, and on to San Jo…

Famous songs written from the “we” perspective I’m currently outlining a research paper relating to the use of first-person plural in popular music. It’s a difficult thing to search for deliberately as I try to build a bit of a database, so I’m wondering whether anyone could help with any songs that come to mind. Examples: Alright by Kendrick Lamar You Haven’t Done Nothin’ by Stevie Wonder B…

Horizons and Perspective in a Tilted World – should photographs be leveled out? I have often seen recommendations and criticisms to “have a level horizon” in images, but sometimes I wonder if doing so is creating distortions of the real world. Often there is a natural slope in the landscape so putting the camera at true level creates an image that can look “tilted,” but leveling the perceived horizon creates an image that i…

No sales tax at checkout in the US – US perspective Hi all, We own a UK company that also has presence in the US and we also sell to the US market online. We only sell one product on our website and the price is ~$200 so some may consider it to be a high value purchase. We do not sell a huge amount and the only state where we collect tax is the state where we have a physical presence. Our prod…

Performance Perspective Wanted I’m trying to ask around and gather some input regarding “average” YOY sales growth rates within the e-comm apparel industry (or e-comm retail in general). I started my first e-comm position about a year ago – was hired to manage a Shopify store full-scope. I’ve spent the last year trying to bring them as close to industry standard as their budg…

Needing Perspective I’m having a weird crisis. Maybe I’m depressed but people keep saying I take good photos but I honestly think these suck. I keep practicing but I don’t seem to be improving. I’m really not looking for reassurance. If I suck, I don’t want to keep wasting time and money on it. submitted by /u/tjh003

If there’s one thing travel has given me, it’s perspective. Seeing something on the news/online doesn’t hit the same as the visceral feeling of being there in person. Case in point, I was walking in broad daylight in a major US city recently, cars whizzing by, surrounded by people. Many of whom seemed to be aimless souls, some shirtless, some shouting obscenities at the sky. Clearly homeless and struggli…

Egypt Changed My Perspective On Travel Traveled through Giza, Cairo, a 4 day “luxury” Nile Cruise from Aswan downriver to Luxor and took a 4 hour bus ride to Hurghada then flew home. Being in this part of the world for the first time was incredible. The daily prayers stood out the most. Our first night we got in at 11pm and couldn’t sleep. At 3am loud prayers throughout Giza on loud…
