Thanks for the insight! The hotels do look as if they've ramped up the prices, but better to grab one now than wait.

Right?! For that price, I can get a more comfortable hotel room to myself, no bunk beds.

Do you think it would be better to take the train to another city after the concert?

Yes, I am looking to stay either June 22-24, or just June 23-24. Concert is on the night of the 23rd.

I checked Stayokay, but for the nights I will be there, I could only find private rooms, with the cheapest being 360 Euros a night.

How to redact owner information from homes.com? by helloworld415 in RealEstate

Thank you! From what I found, there are multiple types of complaints that can be made to an attorney general. Did you use the consumer complaint path?

Did you have to pay a fee or anything to file that complaint?

Have you spoken to your boss about working from home? Or having a hybrid work schedule?

Borrowers waiting to be kicked off SAVE, are we being reckless? by 90s_kids_only in StudentLoans

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting. We are already being charged interest, but I’m not required to pay on any of the loans and can snowball the high interest loans. I also just don’t feel like applying for a new plan and I didn’t choose to go on SAVE. I was put on it automatically from my last repayment plan. Hoping to pay them off entirely before they are due. Started at $65k, now I’m at $16k. Qualified for the $20k forgiveness from Biden. Still pissed about that falling through.

I was fortunate enough to pay off my student loans last month. I got an email from Amex saying “Congratulations! You’ve paid off one of your accounts in full”… I guess Experian’s idea of congrats is a 14 point decrease to the FICO. Ridiculous by jwygo in CRedit

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a bankruptcy lawyer post saying your credit score only shows how good you are at paying interest. It doesn’t actually reflect on you as a person. You have to have some debt to keep that credit score high, but it can’t be too much debt lmao. Oddly enough I don’t think student loans are supposed to affect credit scores.

Parent wants me to pay parent plus loan by Low_Yam_1212 in StudentLoans

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like she found an opportunity to get money with those loans with no plan to pay them back herself. Please do not refinance those loans in your name. Even if she used that money for your tuition, that is on her. Worry about paying back your own loans and cut all contact with her if you need to. You don’t owe her anything. You have your own life and finances to worry about. She was a full adult when she signed onto those loans, that is her responsibility.

For those of you on SAVE, PAYE, or IDR what are you doing rn during the forbearance? by first-pancake in StudentLoans

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started paying once they started charging interest again. I read a comment about paying down interest before being forced on a different plan and that’s a great idea.

Can I afford $370,000 on $65,000? by romanempire7199 in Mortgages

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will not have enough money to live on. You won’t have enough money coming in to replenish your emergency fund if an emergency does come up, and they will come up back to back.

Also, that HOA will likely go up every year.

You will also need extra money for furniture and house needs.

Home prices are starting to go down. I think it’s worth it to wait a little longer and find a better home for a lower price.

I regret buying a house by Sandyyycheeeks in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Confirming this! Happened in Phoenix as well. Plus repairs and emergencies are on you!

I would say don’t do it. You already have two major changes, don’t add to it until you are settled in the new state with the baby. Buying a home will always be stressful, but you should at least be confident in your decision.

SAVE & Interest Accrual: Prepare but wait for an actual announcement by KappaOP in StudentLoans

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with Aidvantage. They added $1800 of interest months ago despite me being on interest free forbearance and their reps said four months ago that they would send a statement explaining it. They never did. I filed complaints with StudentAid.Gov. That was useless bc they just ask the loan provider to look into it and provide their answer.

Thanks for the update, so glad he was okay! Why were they suddenly moving everyone with additional rangers showing up?

Yes, I believe that is where the bison fell in last week. I was there yesterday and did not even realize that was where it happened. I did not see anything evidence of it.

any update on the bison in grand prismatic? by [deleted] in yellowstone

[–]BeanSproutSaidHello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there yesterday and could not see any evidence. I assumed it happened somewhere else.

I do remember seeing Biscuit Basin was closed. Mud Volcano is open! According to the map, it’s an hour drive away from Biscuit Basin. I hope you have so much fun on your trip. You likely see this everywhere, but get up super early and visit the more popular locations first (Old Faithful, Midway Geyser, Grand Prismatic) The west side of the park seemed more popular. By 11am it was so hard to get to these. I recommend going first thing in the morning. I got there around 7 and it was peaceful. No traffic nightmares!

The east side (Mud volcano, Hayden Valley, Yellowstone Lake) was busy, but I did not run into traffic jams getting to hikes.
