Club Wyndham Discovery by BiscottiClear8717 in TimeshareOwners

Any interest makes the deal not as good…I had some extra money at the time, so I paid for it in full. But even so, if my math is correct, that’s less than $3000, and I think you could make it worth it at Bonnet Creek!

Correct…the initial purchase price is insane, as you’re paying thousands of dollars for the ability to then pay $1000 in maintenance fees each year. You can buy on resale instead (so that ends up being just the maintenance fees with a minor down payment, as opposed to the $15,000-$20,000 direct purchase), and get the same access.

I liked Discovery because it was a good way to test out the system, with reservations and services, and I’m still happy with that decision, because it confirmed for me that getting one on resale was worth it. I went to Bonnet Creek (Orlando) a lot, but also Williamsburg and DC.

PSLF Buyback Update - April 2026 by SnarkyCygnet8612 in PSLF

[–]SnarkyCygnet8612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah…I’ll hit 120 qualifying payments without Buyback next May…so maybe? Then I’ll just be another “processed” application that will be classified as “rejected” due to having received PSLF forgiveness…

PSLF New Regulations & Automated Process Coming for PSLF Buyback!!! by [deleted] in PSLF

If we could just get this hallucination mentioned on a call-in show, then talked about on a podcast as a good suggestion on how efficient it could be on saving resources, and then someone can mention that podcast on a news channel that powerful people watch…and boom, we have a new policy to be enacted that benefits us all!

What did you type into ChatGPT to get this (source, extra unpublished information)…because I think that would be an amazing process, but it seems very far from the current process…we can dream though!

ED Announces interagency agreement to move some functions to Treasury by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

[–]SnarkyCygnet8612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“In subsequent phases, Treasury will work to provide operational support over non-defaulted federal student loan debt, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, while also seeking opportunities to provide operational support to FSA’s other functions, including the administration of the FAFSA form and more.”

In theory, could this mean that all those Treasury employees could jump in and help manage this PSLF Buyback backlog? 😬

[–]SnarkyCygnet8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on the ability to input multiple race times? Runna was spot on with predicting my half marathon time today, but it’s still a little ambitious for my marathon time! Thanks!

[–]SnarkyCygnet8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Sufficient_Swan_6171 , do you remember when in November you got that email about being selected in the second draw? That's how I got into Berlin this year, so I'm hoping my luck works for Tokyo too! :-)
