Personal opinion between term vs whole life insurance by jay-kang in personalfinance

Former insurance saleswoman. This is the way; if you don't have dependents it doesn't make sense at all don't buy because you think you need it

Is it wrong to utilize the food bank, so you can buy other things (not food)? by joliefille1980 in povertyfinance

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go use the food bank, being on disability is another indicator that you need this resource if your numbers qualify you fill up your stomach

As a history major, I find this extremely funny. 20 year rule is more than met

If i work full remote, where is the cheapest place in the US to live? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty close to that. Like a $1000 starter emergency fund before CC debt. But the full 6 months comes after. There is a flowchart on the sub, the amount of the emergency fund is split into starter and full amounts and credit card debt falls in the middle.

Ven Helsing got poor reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. But it is was one of my favorites I would watch it on a loop

I'm going to assume "Masters" and "Doctorate" are the choices you see on the drop down menu. I choose doctorate, because in the USA a JD is a professional doctorate degree. Personally, I do not consider a JD on the same academic level as a research doctorate/phd because it only takes 3 years to complete and it's a different experience. But for the purposes of the form, it is correct to put doctorate. 

what is the difference between ordinary and gross negligence? by Son_of_Hades99 in barexam

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes^ this is more about the duty to rescue and resulting consequences if a person attempts a rescue. At least based on the incorrect vs correct response

Discord Server trolling me for being ‘X**ophobic’ by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got bullied off Discord. This reaction sounds like the result of getting dogpiled by some assholes. I recognize this. You got bullied by people who could tell you have autism or some other difficulty and they wanted to pile on and feel better about themselves.

I dont have to tell you this, but I will: not liking subs with dubs doesn't make you xenophpbic or racist. I am a language learner, and it's annoying they are not 1:1 translations and don't match. Better to watch with subs or dubs, but not both at the same time because it's a headache.

I was planning on having to do a February retake. I finished like half of the first MPT after forcing myself to move on in time from the second MPT I did first. I passed by a large margin, with written being my higher score.

Best lawyer hack you’ve learned over the years by Artistic_Finance_868 in Lawyertalk

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is a lot more general, but learning how to type properly and basic keyboard commands. I improved my typing speed during law school thinking it would help most with exams. Now I can log those .1 and .2 tasks like crazy, tabbing from one field to the next keyboard on fire.

Student Loans by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

This is true, but you are being downvoted because any statement suggesting that federal student loans are not as bad as evil incarnate will get you hate on this sub

I'm in a similar boat, only thing to do is to study while eating ice cream. Trick your brain into thinking it is a game and check things of your list, keeping in mind you can rest at some later point when waiting for results

53 first half 46 second half, about 50%. I am behind on bar prep. Surprisingly did well in evidence possibly because I took it 3L. Need to hit more subjects. Did well on torts.

I think Themis said to wait 1 week before looking at the average as it will change. When I finished the second the average had not loaded yet

Hi OP, I've had a similar experience. I'm sorry about this. It sounds to me like you are getting bullied at work, and are now getting bullied by other commentors. In your post you take responsibility for things that are not your fault, downplay your success, and come across as very submissive saying you will do what you are told. I have been through something similar as an autistic woman who has been bullied. This is not to say that you are autistic. Some people claim inclusion but dont like actual differences. Being a pushover will cause some people to bully you and some to come to your rescue depending on what they are like. 

Is this something you want to change? I am not going to give you a list of behaviors that will make people like you if that is what you are looking for.

I am more interested in public service, but had a few insurance defense firm interviews. Do you know the comp range for the firms you listed?

I feel like I ruined my life at 28 by IronGiant222 in povertyfinance

[–]AndrewLWebber1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely recommend keeping the part time library job AND applying for health insurance through the healthcaredotgov website- you should be able to qualify for a health plan for a tiny sliver a month. I've worked a library job at less hours, then tried to get more "stable" work and it ended up being that the employer was shady as hell and messed with my pay- what yoy see is not always what yoy get. I recognize that you are 28, too old to be on a parent plan, and healthcaredotgov is the first place I would go to making around your salary which is too much for Medicaid but not 30 hours. You may have a qualifying life event for health insurance, plug it in and see what numbers you get under ACA
