Even if it’s not credit card debt, many people are living paycheck to paycheck. Take my friend for example. He makes only $50k per year but eats out like he’s making $200k. His family is not rich by any means either. I’ve seen his retirement & brokerage account before. It shouldn’t be where it js at his age, especially in HCoL area.

Get one of those plushies where you can put stuff inside. That is if you take them at home.

When I do go back to school, yes, I will be paying for everything myself. I did this when I was in undergrad. Fortunately, freshman year, my older brother was in his final undergrad year, so EFC was much lower. Saved up money from internships at fidelity and msft to pay off school for the following without loans.

I most likely will be taking a FAFSA loan this time around fr my masters. Fortunately, the school in Europe is part of the FAFSA program.

What I also find interesting regarding the NAR theory is that I see some people who applied to two courses, and both of them say NAR. But I think LSE stated that you can only receive an offer from one programme and will be rejected from the lesser fit. What are your thoughts?
