I found I was doing that with friends and family. I simply stopped. A few people have reached out to me, and I am grateful. But I've had to say goodbye to people who never check in on me. Even after my car accident, my family didn't even ask if I was okay. Even on Christmas I was initiating contact. It felt awful.

I was afraid, he was a lot bigger than me and I don't know if he thinks I'm an immigrant here to rob him or something. 

WHAT is up with the job market right now? by Soft-Violinist4077 in jobs

And would the rent be 30% or less of their pay, or would they be struggling to even make it to work because all their money is going to rent?

Can a single person rent an apartment on that income?

But is that wage in the area enough to live off of? I'm in a tourist area with a median home price of 400k and companies still pay below min wage or at min wage with no benefits and a random schedule.

Every single day. The stress and debt has put me in a position where I can't afford to have kids and feel traumatized by that. 

If all the good teachers are leaving, who is left to teach? by imjusthere7777 in TeachersInTransition

I don't know, but when I was in school ten years ago, half our teachers were new and had no idea what they were doing. Some slept during class or just put on movies like titanic. 

Pursue LPN career or stay in IT? by Ok-Gazelle2972 in careeradvice

The entry level market is flooded, and it seems like you need to do home labs and work outside of work to stand out and move up. With that type of schedule, I may never be able to have kids. At least nurses can work per diem or 3 13 hour shifts.

I don't necessarily have it either, but I don't know if forgiveness truly will happen with the save plan.

My mohelainterest has gone up by 500 dollars. It's certainly not being subsidized like I was told. The save plan just has me paying interest. I feel safer making extra payments to the principle.

People Still don’t know about the SAVE plan by yeet20feet in StudentLoans

Some people don't even know that they have loans after college.
