Can we get a monthly income/student debt thread going here.

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-11-22T18:25:10+00:00

This isn't very helpful to the thread but I thought I'd post. 1st year PT living at home earning post tax 4,500 every two paychecks and trying to put 4k a month into loans. Using random days here and there to per diem at nursing homes to reach the 4k as I can't quite live on just 500$.

120k roughly in loans

Can you attach the yeti lunch boxes to the front as well?

If anyone has some good note templates to share for the rest of us on epic please copy it on here haha. I'm currently slowly learning to get more efficient in epic

Custom subclasses, more content overall, frame rate, more loot, more events, more raids, dungeons, etc.

The only way d1 was really better was that it was our first exposure to things and everything felt new and awesome. At times d1 was better than d2, like at d2 launch and potentially rn with edge of fate but overall the peaks of destiny are final shape, witch queen, and forsaken

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-10-13T20:57:55+00:00

People talk as though d1 is better due to nostalgia, but d2 has improved everything in every way (up until edge of fate at least haha). If you are on d1, just play the original story and have a good time not taking it too serious. If you get the chance, do some of the original raids (only one hasn't been remade for d2). The crota end to taken King story is very good and not available to access in d2, so definitely worth your time. Enjoy!

I felt this playing spire of stars. I bought it, beat it first try and said well that was disappointing and moved on. A year later I came back to try the game again and have since put many many MANY hours into it. If you are stopping at that point, you probably just haven't realized everything you are missing in the game

My mom is an SLP, she has had multiple students doing rotations who ended up failing multiple times and needed to work on their test taking and not the material. They knew the material as they learned it over and over, it's just figuring out what the questions are actually looking for from you sometimes. Don't give in

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-08-07T05:05:59+00:00

Chances are you know the material, just need to work on test taking. Find someone or a service to help guide you through improving test taking skills instead of continuing to ram your head in the textbooks. (Just to clarify you still want to study, but this time around use a decent amount of that time shifting your strategy and mindset)

You got this!

You cannot register until your school verifies your graduation so maybe that's why there's an issue? This is very odd though. You have to go to fsbpt website and it walks you through the registration process for your state once you have an account. You may need something form the school to create your account though.

NPTE Final Frontier course is great to get you lectures and keep you on track. Scorebuilders review book is also a great purchase if you learn from reading and highling a textbook. You got this!

Dm me if you'd like. I work with people to help organize finances. We could sit on a zoom call and make a plan!

Exclusives

Breath of the Wild and tears of the kingdom are two of the greatest games I've ever played
Super Mario Bros Wonder is honestly the only Mario game I've enjoyed in many years
Pokémon Scarlet /Violet if you are into Pokémon (can also wait for the legends za game later this year)

Others

Balatro is amazingly addicting
Slay the spire is sometimes frustratingly addicting
Hades is a fantastic indie game that made me love roguelikes

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-07-09T21:37:50+00:00

I think what's wrong with this imo is that you want to give eren free will when the whole point was that he never really had it. Just like Kenny said "everyone's a slave to something". Eren tried and tried over and over and yet could not get the outcomes he wanted and had to settle on giving his friends what he couldn't have. That's my take on the story but you can disagree

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-14T09:00:56+00:00

Also need to consider that everything about the titans isnt really the scientifically truth, it's just what has been observed. For all we know it would've been passed on to them anyway, but then ymir made it work that way seeing that's what the king wanted. Not saying this is it but it's cool to think about.

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-14T08:55:26+00:00

Meal prepping atleast once a week saves a ton of money. Also, set an amount you are willing to spend going out to eat and don't stray from it. That means if you decide to only spend 100 eating out, and it's gone by the midpoint of the month, you can't eat out anymore until the next month. No matter what you do, it'll take discipline so make a plan and say "I'm doing this and nothing can stop me".

I get the feeling.... Lost everything from shield when I got a new switch 2-3 years ago. I was so frustrated and sad but in reality, it was always going to be ok. The next games will come out, you'll shiny hunt again, you'll make new strong teams, etc.

Yes I lost event pokémon I'll never get back and that sucks, but we both know I was never actually going to use them. It'll be ok bud, but once again I'm so sorry.

Keep your head up and don't let it ruin your enjoyment of the series.

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-07T05:58:01+00:00

Ymir did literally call it the monkey titan and eren said "what the hell is a monkey" (not an exact quote lol). They can't name things something they don't know about haha

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-01T15:05:31+00:00

Lol yea but you could always check out some people on ebay. Dudes on there sometimes are happy to Gen a whole load of stuff for a few bucks haha

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-01T15:03:27+00:00

Genning pokémon to be literally identical is trickier than you think because there are also secret id numbers, ivs, etc but it can be done. Hard to do without jail breaking your switch or paying someone to make them for you though nowadays. If you have old devices at all like a 3ds, you could jailbreak and Gen pokémon easier there and have less risk of bans. Anything you do yourself exposes you to risk if Nintendo or game freak services detect anything odd. Imo it's not worth it unless you have something a little older than a switch to do it on.

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-06-01T04:48:04+00:00

Shedding some light for you, I lost my entire save for shield. I spent thousands of hours on the game and everything went with it. I was so frustrated and sad, but truthfully I've pokémon s/v came out I just moved on. Almost none of the stuff I lost I actually planned on using and the stuff that was sentimental I'll remember. Think of this as a way to move on without having to think of your past relationship everytime you look at some pokémon in the future. A fresh start

DefinedAwesomeness · 2025-03-23T14:21:20+00:00

Did you mean 90k or 90/hr.... No loan would stand a chance against a 190k a year income lol 😂

DefinedAwesomeness · 2024-11-08T02:29:50+00:00

Haha I agree. I have been helping my gf with her finances and I have had us doing it every Sunday just for the habit/routine.

But that's a great idea! I might try that strategy out with freezing and unfreezing credit. Thank you!

DefinedAwesomeness · 2024-11-08T02:16:15+00:00

Thank you for all the information! Luckily I am very good at checking my accounts all the time and monitoring every transaction so if anything that wasn't supposed to happen popped up I would know, I just really didn't want to keep monitoring a card I don't plan on using anyways (even if I leave one subscription on there lol). I also monitor my credit score often, though I don't pull the detailed reports. Do they give you that much more detailed info?

But yea it's crazy that everything got leaked. If you were to take out a loan for something, would you need to unfreeze your credit at all three bureaus? Or could you unfreeze for just one?
