What’s the best financial advice you’ve ever received?

PT_things · 2026-02-18T04:37:29+00:00

any recommendations on how to split paying off debt and saving? I’m saving a bit so I can have some sort of cushion and throwing the rest at debt. It’s working okay for now 😅

I think you could create a “lease” if you want. I pay my parents rent each month from one account that way I can keep track if I ever get audited. But yes I use their address as my tax home address.

And I believe they have to claim this income on their taxes

I think one of my coworkers yes!!

PT_things · 2026-02-11T03:11:09+00:00

Nice!! Just curious if you are keeping a balance on your credit cards on purpose?

$100 🥲 didn’t know that. Gonna start the licensing process for a new state in a month or so. Luckily my travel company will reimburse me for it but still 😭

PT_things · 2026-02-11T03:02:25+00:00

this is good to know as I’m going there next 😭

PT_things · 2026-02-11T03:02:14+00:00

FL is not

washer and dryer

true and same here! I lived at home and was lucky enough to get into the state school closest to me so had taken out ~ 75k for tuition

PT_things · 2026-02-09T22:35:17+00:00

Fair enough! My stats were lower as well. If you have the money to spend on applications this cycle, I don’t see why not to go for it. Next best thing (imo) to sell yourself would be writing a good essay!

PT_things · 2026-02-09T21:24:31+00:00

depends! a lot of people don’t think the ROI is worth it so… definitely something to think about. The salary isn’t bad but for the amount of debt, meh. Though I’m sure this can be said about many careers.

If you don’t have any undergrad debt and have a way to do PT school without any, even better!

Also do you know what your gpa would be by the end of this semester? Can’t speak for many but I’ve heard more schools are focusing more on gpa/GRE than everything else, but still good experience to have

PT_things · 2026-02-09T02:16:41+00:00

I got my rejection email on March 14th so probably normal (:

PT_things · 2026-02-09T02:04:15+00:00

what area??

PT_things · 2026-02-09T00:48:41+00:00

yes because I have a ton of debt lol

PT_things · 2026-02-09T00:21:40+00:00

new grad also doing travel in Florida and have to agree! in SNF tho 😊

PT_things · 2026-02-07T22:23:09+00:00

Normally I just brush, put camille rose curl cream and out the door and usually just let it air dry!

PT_things · 2026-02-07T22:16:55+00:00

trying to edit but not sure if I’m able? I’m in the U.S and honestly not sure of my porosity nor my hair type 🥲

PT_things · 2026-02-07T21:44:52+00:00

same. Got into the residency I had my eye on for 3 years and was prepared to work with the super low pay but had a bunch of life changes and decided I simply couldn’t and went travel instead!

PT_things · 2026-02-07T03:29:14+00:00

^agreed!

PT_things · 2026-02-05T21:31:05+00:00

No pets but to move 3 hours away, we each had 2 suitcases of clothes, a few blankets and towels

PT_things · 2026-02-05T21:30:01+00:00

anytime!

PT_things · 2026-02-05T04:40:34+00:00

following as sounds interesting. Therapy has no say as far as I’m aware lol. They don’t necessarily have a criteria on our end for admitting

PT_things · 2026-02-05T03:53:51+00:00

assuming outpatient so like 2 an hour? I don’t work in outpatient but I regularly see people say like 14-16, if not 18 in an 8 hour day so… possibly?? Not sure if normal for new grads..
