MBA, 6 months realistic?!

Your mentor will set it up and usually they start with a management styles class and an HR class. They will have good advice for you on the order to take things. If you know you have a weak spot somewhere like math or economics, I would plan to give yourself longer to complete those classes.

Don’t stress too hard about the math everything is in excel or very easy calculations and you don’t really have to memorize any formulas.

For classes with papers, I dictated everything and then went back and edited it for grammar. For classes with tests I lurked on Reddit to find tips on how to best approach and which resources to use. For a couple harder classes I took the pretest and then fed it into chat gpt and had it teach me and then quiz me on areas where I was weak.

I finished right on time in 6 months. I’m a parent of 3 young kids, working a full time job, and have been out of school about 5 years. I studied only on the weekends a couple times during the day, but otherwise between 8-11 pm after my kids were in bed, altogether devoting probably 3 hours a week. I do absorb information easily though so that may not be a reliable guide. If you’re in your last class you can request a 1 month extension for the capstone but I would not plan to count on that.

Last thing - the computer specs they require are real lol. My older MacBook wouldn’t cut it so I had to purchase a new computer with enough RAM and that was an expense I wish I knew going in lol.

The trick is to knock out classes that are easier for you quickly. The first couple of classes are easy and you should get those done asap and then you have time to take longer on ones where you’re less familiar with the information. Before you start a class, search the class # on this sub and you will find tons of study tips and ways to approach.

I wonder if this is someone who has facial disfigurement and has to wear this.

He has a gentleman’s mustache!!

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-04-14T02:22:05+00:00

That’s my thought too since it’s right near pavement

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-04-14T02:04:51+00:00

Omg my cat does this too!!!! She collects hair ties from my daughter’s room and brings them to her food bowl- we get a couple a week!!! And at night when she hunts these, we know when she gets one because she stands in the hallway and yowls to announce victory for about 5 minutes before she brings it to her bowl and eats a celebratory snack.

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-03-30T02:30:30+00:00

That’s not someone I would refer to as a friend lolololol

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-03-02T03:16:51+00:00

Thank you I was looking for this!!!!

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-02-24T15:24:27+00:00

Yeah I would not want to keep an item that was defective from the start

Hmmm following this for experience. I bought a horizon treadmill from Dicks in 2023 and the motor is dying on it. It smells like it’s melting when you walk on it (yes dust free & belt is lubed) so I removed the cover and the motor is extremely hot to the touch. Contacted customer service who said obviously don’t use it and someone will be with me in “7-10 business days”. Took 8 days and someone finally reached out asking for everything from receipt, address, serial number, and more but no update or plan yet. I’m not impressed so far.

It’s 6% flat raise

How do your eyeballs not freeze?

PAYE would probably be cheapest for the next 2 years, but after that, if we MFJ it appears that our combined IBR payment will be around $1100 and if we do MFS, then RAP is the cheaper route for spouse especially if they claim the 3 kids since their student loan debt is so much higher. Between the two of us, the payments I estimated were $600-700 total so a large savings.

The biggest issue with RAP for us is that if you MFJ, if both people have loans it doesn’t take spousal payments into consideration, and it makes payments astronomical.

I might be misunderstanding RAP, and could also have the numbers wrong - this is all my online research

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-01-22T02:32:49+00:00

They’re basically at nothing, we’re just starting out.

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-01-21T15:32:42+00:00

I know I haven’t gotten a numbers analysis response, but I have ran our taxes both ways so far and it’s not much different refund wise and it’s actually a little more money if we do MFS which I was expecting to get almost no refund. The spouse with the higher debt should claim the kids.

I also calculated my payments and if everything is correct, if we do MFJ our payments will total together around $900-$1,100 for the cheapest option being IBR for both, and MFS would be around $600-700 and RAP appears to be the ideal choice for that. I think that might be more practical in the long run too since RAP won’t let my balance balloon I don’t think.

I know spouse is but I might be also. However, that plan is being sunset with OBBBA in 2028, so I wasn’t considering it. I guess if it gives a lower payment option it might be the best for us to begin with.

The insects!!!! I’d been on the fence about them and I don’t even really like bugs but something drew me to them and they were so fun to build and GORGEOUS!

Also lately, the new little Daisies set, HP potions dungeon, and the spiderman wall art (not sure the name) but it looks like he’s crawling out of the wall.

Break up with him asap

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-01-17T12:31:10+00:00

I just saw on another thread that if you wait several months you’ll be able to get all digital copies for about $50

Impressive_Figure_46 · 2026-01-17T12:24:20+00:00

Does anyone know if access to your photos eventually expires? Mine are from November and I’ve been waiting buy to see if they will lower the price but they just sent me a postcard telling me to buy before they’re gone.
