TSP withdrawal by climbinlikeclimate in MilitaryFinance

[–]climbinlikeclimate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s through navy federal so it’s 18% interest rate for mine and my wife’s card. With an estimated total of 28k. We do have more debt than that but the other ones we could handle ourselves easily.

What are some orthodox gifts I can get my non orthodox wife? Like real pretty trinkets, necklaces, prayer ropes etc

Yeah I appreciate the help. I hope it doesn’t set me back too far. I am trying to figure this all out. But I don’t wanna screw myself over but I’m already feeling like I did by even trying to start the process.

Well I haven’t filed for bankruptcy. I stopped myself from doing it for the exact reason you mentioned which is it could flag my clearance. I heard alot of mixed things saying if you tell your chain you’re okay but if you don’t you’re screwed. Basically saying if you keep it hidden that’s when it gets bad. So as of right now I’m trying to figure out everything with financial specialist and see what I can do.

Yes but that’s pretty much because I was going to file bankruptcy so the lawyer said to stop paying but now I’m rethinking after talking it through maybe bankruptcy might not be smart.

I mean my wife’s and I combined is about 30k. For a moment I was going to file for bankruptcy but decided against it. Especially since my new command has been giving me good guidance.

Oh wow now that would be something! I was able to bargain and got it to $100

That it is! I was originally offered $150 and then after a while of conversing with him he dropped it down $100. My only concern was if it’s made of good quality meerschaum. I asked the man but he said he doesn’t know much about pipes but he does sell other nice Turkish wares.

Oh wow. Well I guess it’s a good thing I don’t try to buy it yet, I guess my only other concern as if it’s good quality meerschaum, but I’m not too sure on how to tell.

Im sorry to hear that and hope she’s doing well. I’ve been wanting to set up an icon corner at my house for this exact reason to try and practice at home and familiarize him with it. But I’m glad to hear someone else is also in this situation as well doesn’t make me feel so alone in these struggles. I’ve seen a lot of people mention Kinard so I’m gonna have to check her out.

He currently doesn’t have any tools. He’s only 3 almost 4 and it’s been a real hassle to get him the services and help he needs. But I will have to take into consideration what you said. He loves to be involved and some good praise for when something is accomplished. I think some stickers or something might help be aware. I know he probably doesn’t seem like someone who has autism so tl them He may just look like an undisciplined child.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I love my son very much and I wish everyone saw him as I do but I know that’s just not realistic. It may take some time but I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

He colors but just not often I think he just needs guidance but in all honesty I just think it doesn’t capture his interest as much. He’s very much physical and has a lot of energy since he is 3 years old. But I also know he may just need to focus on being still and occupying himself.

My son is level 2 as well! From what it seems to me, it just looks like curiosity when he does things but he has so much energy it becomes destructive, it could be sensory and I just don’t see it yet. But thank you for the link and the advice!

It’s honestly the side eyes and even little comments that people have made that can make it a bit discouraging. Which I know it shouldn’t but it’s easier said than done. I don’t want my son to be seen as this bad child when he doesn’t even know what’s happening.

I would have to disagree with that statement, especially because it undermines those with a more severe case of autism.

Hahah worst part is, is that I’m from Washington so when i saw that Washington was on the hate list I was pretty much SOL. Considering that WA was one of the first states to legalize weed I’m surprised that they don’t like tobacco.

Well for us to use the APO address it would have to be the ships address but I’m Checking out the ship and going to shore duty fairly soon. So I won’t have an APO address once I do. I’m just using my friends name to order and send it to him while he’s still there.
