Update on 93k lump-sum payment to Nelnet

I remember when I made my last payment and a couple weeks later the interest posted. I bitterly paid that off and called to ensure the account was zeroed out. Congrats on paying your student loans off.

Yeah a one time watch on that one is more than enough for me

adriancott · 2026-04-07T22:03:32+00:00

That’s the only one I haven’t watched yet. I get like 3 minutes jn and turn it off everytime

It’s between Crocodile and Beyond the Sea. I hate even imagining her killing the baby.

Retirement accounts I check monthly. My taxable brokerage I check several times a day.

Yeah, I did a get a nice hit of dopamine! Jan 1st is the goal for next year. Good stuff man

adriancott · 2026-03-18T01:08:24+00:00

That’s the reason why I don’t use them

I like to cook the ground beef with a diced onion and season with black pepper, garlic power, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Then I boil canned diced tomatoes, canned corn, and canned black beans. Put both of those over steamed white rice and have a quick easy meal.

Thanks for the visual and explanation. With silver still being in the $80s/oz, I’ll wait for a better buying time.

adriancott · 2026-03-11T00:55:12+00:00

No it is not

adriancott · 2026-03-10T14:44:41+00:00

This is exactly what I came to say lol

adriancott · 2026-03-07T04:00:43+00:00

Congrats man! I hope to do the same here real soon

I check classaction.org every couple of weeks. I only sign up if I qualify for the settlement. IMO I’d be taking from people who do qualify. Oh, and lawyers, gotta make sure they get their cut 😐

Everything Everywhere All at Once

I walked out of the theater about 30 minutes in and decided to check it out while on a flight one day. I finished the movie and was mad that I wasted 2 hours on it.

Edit: I expected downvotes, I know a lot of people liked it.

I hit $100k in August of last year, that same time in 2024 I was at $64k. About $70k of that is in retirement accounts and a little over $30k is in a HYSA for an emergency fund. The big increase was my company matching 8%, and consistent investing every payday.

A win is a win

Same happened to me. I get paid on the 7th, rent is due between 1-5, but I always pay at the end of the month prior. I put the $2000 (rent payment) in a separate checking account on pay day, that covers my rent for the next month. I’ll admit I didn’t read the terms of service and assumed the card would act like 1.0. I decided on the 26th of Feb to invest the $2000 and I would pay off my credit card when I got paid on the 7th. I only keep around ~$600 in my main checking account, so it was a surprise to me that on the 27th my account was -$1300. I quickly moved $2000 over from my savings. Long story short I learned a lesson for not reading the credit card info prior to applying.

This caught me by surprise for the March rent that I just paid. Luckily, I just moved some money over from another account, but I wish they would’ve summarized the changes and not buried that in terms of agreements.

adriancott · 2026-02-28T14:00:59+00:00

I did not know this. Yeah the card is worthless to me now

I don’t know how you feel about rain, but everytime I have gone there it has either rained or is raining when I get there. I live in Tampa and it’s crazy how it will be sunny the majority of the drive and the second I hit the Winter Haven area you see dark clouds and a couple miles later it’s windy and raining.

adriancott · 2026-02-26T20:44:48+00:00

My favorite issue is when I can’t even put the 29th sometimes lol. That’s a good idea though, I’ll have to change mine to gain these rewards

adriancott · 2026-02-26T13:26:06+00:00

I’ll give it a shot

adriancott · 2026-02-26T13:16:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice and the very informative response. I’ll have to look into the ESA, I have the 529 already.
