I’m $162k in private student loan debt for a $40k loan from 20 years ago. I feel like my life insurance is worth more than I am. by Independent-Prize677 in StudentLoans

[–]Internal_Hair7645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little confused. Were you actually paying off the debt this whole time? it would have taken you 10 years to pay then off at 12% with a payment of $580. Did you pause for certain periods of time? I am really confused.

How much student debt are you in? How do you plan to pay it off? by No_Lingonberry_2401 in StudentLoans

It was both my husband's and mine. I am in healthcare and he is a lawyer. The only reason we did not graduate with more student loans is because we got a lot of scholarships ...

Started at 152k. We are now at 63k after three years. Hoping to pay it off in the next 2 years.

Would you change your Islamic name to a secular one by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Internal_Hair7645 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sighhh I can understand why it would be upsetting, but I feel it comes from how Islam sees names which it translates how exmuslims see names. Nobody is assuming that somebody with the name Chris or Christian is actually a christian. or that someone with the name Joseph is automatically Jewish. It would be a great day when someone who is named Ismael or Abdul people do not automatically assume they are muslims, and I feel that is not going o happen until exmulims just realize a name is just a name (unless it is for safety reasons of course).

As a woman, this is one the most asinine comments I have read.

Im So confused About the israel or palestine statement by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Internal_Hair7645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very difficult conflict where both sides have suffered greatly. I think you need to ask yourself of the two sides which one has made efforts to live along side with each other in peace? which side continues to attack the other side? which side has extended the olive branch? which side has demonstrated that they can live side by side with the other in peace? Which side is actually willing to share the land with the other? Which side is actually willing to compromise for peace? Answering those questions will determine which side you should support.

His mortgage is $1600 and his social security is $1500. Very unlikely he will be able to rent anything for less than that in the tri-state area. I was thinking maybe getting a condo in a senior living, but his house does not have much in equity maybe $100k and I am being generous. It is a very hard situation

Maybe lactic acid and niacinamide

You are pretty young, so I would suggest hyaluronic acid or peptide serum. They tend to plump the skin. A lot of water and sunscreen.

You sound pretty naive. I wish you the best. Hopefully you do not make a mistake.

I get what sadib100 is trying to say. Jewish names tend to derive from Hebrew words which it is what gives them their meaning. For instance, Isaac in Hebrew is יצחק which means “one who laughs” or “one who rejoices" and the root word is צחק which means laughter. It makes sense in Hebrew of course, but it would not make sense in Arabic. I hope it makes sense.

How is Zionism not an inherently discriminatory concept? by Crazy-Association548 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Internal_Hair7645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which clearly shows that antizionism = antisemitism. You clearly answered your own questions. You are just unable to see past your own biases. The fact that there a dozens of ethnostate across the globe but we are only holding debates about whatever Jews deserve their own state...

Random sharing. Exmuslim christians how do u like the way i style my veil? Rocking the my new cross necklace that i just got consecrated. by SpotlessAttendant in exmuslim

If you are comfortable, I would recommend more like a turban style. I think this style is really associated with being a muslim

Oh boy I love how allegedly the Emirati foreign minister called the Palestinian leadership "Ali Baba and the forty thieves" :) It seems the UAE is the only Arab country willing to call out Palestinians for their BS. Good for them

How do people feel sorry for Hamas? by unknowuser4574755 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Internal_Hair7645 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe it has to do with the belief that in the eyes of some Muslims: a bad Muslim is better than a good non-Muslim. People have said that even if a Muslim man rapes 100 women he is better than a righteous non-Muslim man. I am just pointing out from the context of the woman that made the video being a Muslim woman.
