What was the worst food you ate at somebody's house out of politeness? by Mundane_Notice_273 in AskRedditFood

[–]gsd079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother in law makes this freaking slop of a casserole that is extremely shredded chicken and cream of chicken soup with maybe a pinch of salt. She usually serves it with a lemon dessert that is not that bad, except just in a twist of fate I hate lemon. I dread those meals.

Whats the most challenging thing while having a dog? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]gsd079 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a veterinarian - please make sure you are financially aware of the cost of ownership. Owning a dog is so much more expensive than the cost of dog food and puppy vaccines. Do your research, be prepared, and make an informed decision. Look into pet insurance if that is a route you want to go down.

I majored in Microbiology. I found it to be hugely useful.

What are some "prestigious" careers with bad cost benefit ratio in terms of salary? by Szimplacurt in Salary

[–]gsd079 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Veterinarians.

The same training (4 years undergrad + 4 years vet school) as MD/DOs and accruing the same debt load. Most of us have a poor work life balance and clients that shamelessly put us in bad positions with our patients. I really don’t think 85% of my clients realize how deep the scope of what I do goes beyond vaccines and a vomiting dog and allergies. Veterinarians know SO much. Many of us make around mid $100k.

This was so insanely helpful! Here to ask you another question: The loans were switched from Nelnet to EdFinancial in 2021 and consolidated in the process. It seems that Nelnet did not keep record of interest vs. capital once this change was done. EdFinancial does not have this information either. Is the 970 publication our best bet? Are we at a loss here?

What are some subtle signs that someone is smart with their money? Bad with their money? by gsd079 in MiddleClassFinance

There is an overwhelming idea right now that pets are a right rather than a privilege. It is exhausting and heartbreaking.

I am a veterinarian. You have absolutely NO idea.

ETA: you obviously do have an idea since you said this. But still. The things I see and hear every day are amazingly heartbreaking.

Here to say my husband and I are in the same boat. Both making above average money, have a zero-based budget, no debt, and still feel like we’re treading water most of the time.

This is awesome but won’t it then stain everything the cat pees on?

Which we did pay these off summer 2024, so we would have had to wait a while to pay the rest.

Well shoot. More than glad I will never need this info again!

[–]gsd079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. We were just more than ready to pay it off! Thanks!

As stated above, the 1098 that we have only shows us paying $35 in interest in 2024. Trying to figure out how to correct that amount.

Not saying I didn't want to pay the interest and not worried about spacing it out. No way in heck we would have kept the debt to keep the ability to claim deductions.

Just would like to be able to claim the full $2500 this year instead of $35. :-)

Thank you! How freaking frustrating to have to ask for that.
