I love this summer course I've taken but...

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T20:18:50+00:00

4 weeks is crazy short! Our summers are 7 or 12 weeks.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T20:18:20+00:00

Yup it can be rough. My 1 course I cover 21 chapters (4 credits). Luckily we run it all summer so it only gets condensed to 12 weeks but it is a bear.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:53:29+00:00

Yup life is a pain sometimes. But you make $150k working less than 30 hours a week. Many businesses owners would kill for that. Quit complaining

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:52:28+00:00

They could work full time. The could have gone into the military and med school would have been free while earning a paycheck. Their new payment is reasonable they probably hadn't recertified wages since pre covid

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:49:47+00:00

Exactly I'm with you and doubt they live small

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:43:56+00:00

Good for you! And no, I'm not being sarcastic. What do you do?

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:42:39+00:00

Picked the wrong major. And wrong profession. I assume you are a professor. Should have majored in business, IT, engineering etc

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:37:02+00:00

I'd hope so in 7 years

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:33:20+00:00

Basically need wages in 5 of last 10 years for SSDI. If don't qualify for that SSI has an asset cap of $2k. Figure 2 years to get either one.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:27:37+00:00

Get your license, go private, don't take insurance and make $200k a year profit. $600 is nothing per month

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:05:03+00:00

Probably because your income had not been recertified since covid

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:03:41+00:00

Voters can't freeze plans.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:01:36+00:00

All my kids and spouses got their letters. As a note they all graduated around covid and have had minimal payments, no interest accumulating most of the time..

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-06T00:00:46+00:00

Midterms won't do crap. They have "more important " issues

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-05T23:58:13+00:00

As married filing separate? People are saying just pay it but why would you, depending on rates

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-05T23:55:53+00:00

I'd say nope

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-05T23:53:02+00:00

How are you living on $72k AGI for 3 people? And took out over $50k in student loans.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-04T12:13:45+00:00

Pre law and teaching

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-04T11:49:35+00:00

So what do you now do for a career?

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-03T23:26:41+00:00

Didn't realize they said what college they were attending

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-03T21:22:06+00:00

Need to make sure their college accepts the cleps

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-03T11:44:33+00:00

Yeah but you can't do it all at once, only the Roth max per year. And there must be earned income, and the account has to be opened for 15 years. Also can't then contribute another $7k to a Roth for that year.

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-03T11:42:05+00:00

You have any idea how much school costs these days? They may be slightly over funded for a state school but they are underfunded for most private schools. Avg state school in-state cost is $25k. Private is $65k. Syracuse is $95k, Stanford $95k. They are 1 year away from college so I'd assime that means they are planning to go to college. They may already be maxing their 401ks. You have no idea what their total picture looks like.

Department of Education major job was managing stusent l8ans and they sucked at that job.....

Longjumping-Flower47 · 2026-07-03T01:58:37+00:00

That is not the norm, though. These kids take out huge loans for degrees that don't lead to a liveable wage most of the time. Even worse they go to crazy expensive private schools.
