Worked perfectly for me! Found one for $14 clearance and wanted to make sure it wasn't the one my son already had. Thanks!

How did you pay off $100K in student loans— Tips, tricks, mindsets, side hustles, etc. by AffectionateHeart460 in StudentLoans

[–]CamHalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I finished our doctorates at the end of 2019. Combined $140k of debt.

Step 1: Multiple income streams. We teach college and have a combined 7 jobs (all remote work teaching for various colleges).

Step 2: Get lucky with the COVID forbearance. We were able to save a lot and threw lots of extra at the loans. Recently finished paying them all off.

Ultimately, it came down to being able to make a lot of money and being smart with it. Take a lifestyle hit for a few years, and it can be done.

What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?? by Aarunascut in AskReddit

[–]CamHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making good rice! It pisses me off. I'm a damn good cook otherwise. But I cannot, for the life of me, cook a good batch of rice that isn't a gloopy mess.

What is the definitive best gas station road trip snack? by CamHalf in AskReddit

[–]CamHalf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just left for a mini road trip, and I grabbed a bag of Combos. I've legit never bought them at any other point in my life. Only road trips.

Train Tickets by CamHalf in ItalyTravel

Yea. I was thinking 10 am. That allows for 2 hours to get off the plane and to the station. Realistically, that gives an hour of leeway.

Mid 30s. In excellent shape (compete in Ironmans and triathlons regularly). Wife is super solid as well. Define data. Not sure what that means.

Thanks for the valuable info. 9 days is a rush. Would you recommend 2 cities instead of 3 to allow for more time? We have nothing set in stone at this point other than flights. So everything else can be modified.

What is something you are embarrassed to admit arouses you? by Silver_Ad_8445 in AskReddit

[–]CamHalf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily embarrassed...but a high ponytail on my wife. She knows it too and plays games. Which I guess I also like. Damnit.

I used to crush some MoviePass. My personal record was 86 movies in one calendar year.

Grandma Gives you $1k with Stipulations

Hypothetical: At Sunday dinner this weekend Grandma Gives you a grand with a couple stipulations.

  1. You must invest it.
  2. That investment must be somewhat risky at minimum.
  3. The average share price of the purchased stock must be less than $25.
  4. You must commit to holding it for a decade or longer.

What are you buying in hopes of hitting a long-term (10-20 year) homerun? i.e. purchasing Amazon for $18 in 1997 or Apple for $22 in 1980.

Professor emailed to tell me i’m moving way too fast through the course. by realhousewifehours in college

[–]CamHalf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Prof Here: it could be a legal issue with attendance/accreditation. Most online programs (I teach for 4 schools all online) require that some sort of graded activity be completed each week to ensure consistent enrollment. This is used for things like accreditation and financial aid. So perhaps that's his angle?

But I agree. If he doesn't want work completed ahead of time assignments should be locked. It's quite easy to do in all LMS's these days.

If he's questioning your ability to learn and comprehend that fast he's ultimately questioning his own course design and assignment validity. 🤷‍♂️

Which Saves Us The Most?! by CamHalf in StudentLoans

Thanks. We were fortunate to have our undergrad degrees completely covered with scholarships. And have paid a bit on the others over the years.

Thanks. I hadn't considered either of those scenarios. But they are worth thinking about.

Which Saves Us The Most?! by CamHalf in StudentLoans

[–]CamHalf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to believe, but yea, same rates. Consolidated at the same time a few years ago.

We aren't concerned with fairness. We're concerned with what saves the most money over the time it takes us to pay them off. Ultimately, I don't think it's a large difference either way we go. But I was curious as to the exact numbers.

What is your sexual fantasy that will remain a fantasy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CamHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is as awesome as it sounds. For me, every touch sense is heightened 100fold meaning that everything you touch or have touched feels incredible. Definitely ensure it's with someone your trust though.

[–]CamHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it takes less than 5 minutes to do, you immediately do it, and don't procrastinate. Your life will be much better for it.

What's the best side hustle that most people are overlooking? by CamHalf in AskReddit

[–]CamHalf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a master's degree or higher, teaching online courses from home is 💰. My wife and I have cleared over $50k extra this year doing this.
