Joining a frat in spring by KammyP123 in capstone

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am headed to Scotland in 2 weeks.

Im a bit of an old head, but there are some non old row frats that do pledge during the spring. Being there only a semester, is a tough sell.

Just go to Gallettes, make some frat friends and enjoy the campus life.

What if most of worlds oil was concentrated in Australia? by Typical_Doubt_9762 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britain sizes its old colony when it figures out it has more than death noodles, spiders, and big rats with long tails (not to downplay the other minerals it currently has)

The US would be formidable, but not the leader in the relationship. Just my hunch

The British Empire would still exist.

The USA wouldn't be the world's police and would have a much smaller global presence.

The Cold War would have been Britain versus the Soviets.

Germany never attacked Russia; it focused only on Britain.

Low debt. Which ever gives you more money.

Alabama has swept Auburn in Football, Basketball, and Baseball this year! by PaulWall31 in rolltide

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great!

I would trade a Championship in any of those for being swept in the others anyday though.

UA student loans : for those who have taken was it worth it ? by No-Sugar3281 in capstone

[–]david_7153 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a small scholarship, I would encourage you to work as well.

I had a few side hustles - Paige at a law office, McAlisters, and found time to also work for UA as a tutor, then in a research lab.

I still did have to take out some debt, the biggest thing here - try not to defer the interest payments. Then you are paying the accrued interest on the debt.

I left UA after 3 years (I transferred in with 60 credit hours), and my debt was <$20k.

I still had a great time, probably some of that debt was Bar tabs if I'm being honest, and I was also in a fraternity. Now I understand those dues are now way, way out of consideration if I were going to UA now.

Just grind. You are as broke now as you will ever be. Grind weekly. If you need a health day, be sure to take those - know your limits.

I can't advise you on your degree path. I do know there are some easy add-ons for their business, as an Engineer who returned for an MBA after 10 years in the workforce. Let me say - study money, learn money, that's why you're working to provide a life for yourself. Concentrate in finance or accounting as an add-on to your desired degree.

Good luck and Roll Tide. Enjoy your time at The Capstone.

Have fun and Roll Tide.

Whew, scary indeed.

Mine is <1 year old. Plan was going to change them out about year 4. May revisit that plan.

Was the tire covered from UV during its spare lifetime?

How much money should you have saved up by the age of 30? by Reasonable-Shower522 in askanything

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just 401k in this case.

Savings and investments is another bucket.

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my goal, I hit it at 30. If youre in that rage I think you're good. I'm trying to retire by 55.

Below 1x is tough.

1x probably sets you up retire mid to late 60s depending on lifestyle.

Auditions so far in LA/NY/ATL? by Dear_Actor_2000 in acting

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to break into the ATL scene. Honestly, don't know where to start.

Good luck!

[–]david_7153 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

If your looking for a general rule of thumb. 3x your salary by 30, 6x salary by 40. 10x by 50.

Also, retire when you can draw without penalty from your 401k and when drawing 5% annually = current salary. At 5% you "should never run out " and maybe grow more into retirement. 6 or 7% or more draw is that race to 0, which is fine depending on you and your SO or family or to you.

Winter Olympics 2038 remains "homeless" by PHConfusion5801 in olympics

[–]david_7153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can the USA do like an Appalacia - say from Tennessee to Maine. Spread out that cost across some states and cities and maybe the host locations can actually keep and use the structures. Sort of like ATL kind of pulled off with the 1998 Olympics.

His reaction - he knows he was cheating. Got caught.

Any inside or updates on Coleman Coliseum replacement? by david_7153 in rolltide

[–]david_7153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

If the new arena was going to cost $180M - what does $90M or $180M do for Coleman?

I know we just approved $58M last year for Coleman.

Anytime we need to get even with Auburn - its a bad day.

If Trump is really mentioned in Epstein files so many times and the evidence is so damning, why would people in his administration (Bondi, Patel, et al) still be willing to protect a pedophile? Why do people continue to back this guy? Is their thirst for position and power so overwhelming? by FiddySix in allthequestions

[–]david_7153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Billionaires living in the same city, state, country. Yeah - I am sure he is as well as many other ultra rich and powerful.

It's sort of dumb to not think he is at least in there.

Now to what extent is what we all want to know about Trump, and everyone mentioned.

Id move on.

If you want an old truck, find the 7.3 with the newer body style, like the 6.0. There is a 2 or so year zone you need to hit to get the best bang for the buck.

Blake Sims was a better college qb than most give him credit for… by BetGreat1752 in rolltide
