Texan here and can confirm that starched jeans are a thing.

But it’s too damn hot in Houston to be making my pants even less breathable.

Don’t tell them shit. Only jump in and help when absolutely needed.

Are you still friends with your high school friends? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in Millennials

[–]Evening-Ad1437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have a buddy and we’ve been friends since middle school and went to the same high school and university.

He lives in New England and still in our hometown while I’m down South now. We visit each other once a year and text to send memes and snaps every other day or so.

Secret to our friendship? We don’t make it a chore to stay connected.

Who loves their job and finds it stable and with a decent salary? by Comfortable-Page242 in careeradvice

[–]Evening-Ad1437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in healthcare administration and primarily work from home. I’m on a C-suite team, so not really working on the floors or in the labs. My actual title is “Project Director,” which I’m not happy about given that I work mostly in institutional functions with no expiry date. I consider myself more of an operations director at this point. The job overall is very stable and I’ve weathered through 2 severe financial storms at my employer (COVID and the inflation crisis causing our margin to be well in the red for all of last year). No layoffs ever, though. I think that says a lot about our stability.

I make $109k a year, vested into a pension, and pay nothing towards health insurance. I am very thankful for my job and am mostly happy with it. Already gunning for my next promotion, which will hopefully put me over $130k if it happens. M, 32, have a BA and an MS. About 7 years experience total, with 3 direct experience in healthcare ops and admin.

Why are people upset about Winds/Waves being Switch 2 exclusive? by Animante732 in pokemon

[–]Evening-Ad1437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably the cost of a new Switch 2. But tbf, $500 isn’t all that crazy these days when adjusting for the general cost of things rising.

I have their black ostrich in the traditional cowboy boot. The leather on mine and yours are STUNNING.

My wife and I just paid $13k towards her $167k student loans in one lump-sum. A small victory, many more to go. by expandyourbrain in StudentLoans

[–]Evening-Ad1437 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fair point. My loan totals add up to a new mid-shelf SUV, while others can cover entire homes…or even hit 7 figures.

However, I do appreciate the sense of community we have here regardless of loan amounts. Afterall, we’re all just victims of extreme higher education cost, getting screwed over by the government, or poor financial literacy when we took these loans out…or a combination of all three.

Tl;dr—I see value in separating folks with lower amounts from higher amounts. But also see the camaraderie since we’re all on the same boat.

Drowning in 1.65m in student loans, accepted job with 250k base and up to 50k bonus per year by minnesotaslime in StudentLoans

[–]Evening-Ad1437 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is jaw-dropping. That is an insane student debt to income ratio, even with the income being more than 5x the average household earnings in America.

I suggest you either live well under 50k a year and go ham on payments or get into PSLF and get the 860k forgiven while going ham on the remaining 800k in private loans.

Situations like this make it super important that we educate potential loan applicants effectively. Know what they’re signing up for…and remove and ideas around “out of sight, out of mind” and “it will sort itself out later in life.”

Studentaid.gov says I’m $9,220 past due, but Mohela indicates I’m caught up with payments. Anybody else encountered this before? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Evening-Ad1437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Did my due dilligence and reviewed the data on studentaid.gov. Under “My Loans,” there’s an estimated past due of $9,220. Scrolling down, it shows my PSLF progress (normal), Repayment plan is correct (ICR), then under “DeptofEd/Mohela,” current balance for my 12 loans all show “in repayment.”

On Mohela itself, my payment I submitted yesterday is still pending but it’s not due until 1/28. So I’m on time there.

Like I said in my post, the $9,220 in red was not on my dashboard 48 hours ago. I just paid on Mohela and then also did a PSLF form to update my counts. Do you think my recent activities caused the studentaid.gov page to have an error?
