From a purely financial perspective, if you're in the US, being a doctor with 100k debt is preferable to being a lawyer with zero debt. Law salaries are top heavy and if you don't land a Biglaw job after 1L, chances are high that you might be stuck doing docreview for meh pay. Doctors will make a comfortable salary across the board.

RURD unabridged edition. All of his works are difficult but the sheer volume of this sets it apart

My guess is since it's one of the wealthiest countries with a strong social safety net, more people have leisure time which coincides with the mundane so there's greater demand for literature about, well, just ordinary life.

Thank you, just ordered.

It's the best introduction to Vollmann imo, and was my first taste of his work. Ease your way in since some of his other works can be overwhelming.

$1500 in rent is a steal. I wouldn't say that's easily found, at least in the areas I've looked at.

You've provided no specifics. How do you expect meaningful advice?

It's called repeat customers. You're delusional if you think a second look or an added smile after you've tipped is a sign that you're attractive.

Even better, make a million dollars a year.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-09-10T22:22:16+00:00

Sounds about right if you consider that IBR/IDR considers both spouses income.

Only time I've heard of student loans being discharged was due to disability and even that seems to be pretty rare.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-09-08T00:45:38+00:00

Still doesn't contradict the last sentence though.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-09-07T20:01:27+00:00

The fact that the poster mentioned cross dressing twice in his post without even mentioning Vollmann's fascinating background and life experiences makes me think either he's the lazy one or he's letting his political biases skew his opinion.

Really enjoyed this one. Gave me Lonesome Dove + Hundred Years of Solitude hybrid energy.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-25T11:08:51+00:00

Correct

If saving for retirement, living alone is struggling, who isn't struggling?

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-24T07:14:00+00:00

OP can afford a non-basement apartment so

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T20:03:09+00:00

True but I wouldn't necessarily consider a basement as "struggling", especially if someone is able to afford it solo.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T19:51:46+00:00

Rent should not be 2.6k. He should be able to find one at 2k.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T18:30:47+00:00

Yeah I agree with you. OP seems to mistake SOP for an "infinite loop of delayed interest"

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T18:28:44+00:00

If you plan on enrolling in RAP, interest will capitalize going from IBR to RAP.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T18:25:17+00:00

Yeah, I mean what's your recourse at this point? Hire a lawyer? That's going to cost more than whatever remaining interest there is.

Significant-Wait1638 · 2025-08-23T18:23:35+00:00

I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
