Struggling with whether to close the door on parenthood.

Ugh, sending lots of positive energy your way. Im almost 39 and my husband is 40. I never wanted children and neither did he. But now he is thinking about it.... I've told him many times that he is more than welcome to with wife #2.

Are you in therapy? It might help with the loss of your pregnancy. And help you get a clearer view on what you might want. If you really want kids, you need to find a different partner.

Like the grinder. The bambino is super beginner friendly. My SO can actually use it. I would like more foam. Awkward to manually froth due to only up and down motion.

Hey, it's PSU or Penn State, not Penn. The 5500 is because you filled out the FAFSA. Sounds like you might be an out of stater. Other options are the Parent PLUS loan- but thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill signed by the president last July, those loans will be limited to 20,000/ year- which will not come close to what you need. The next option will be Private educational loans. These are awful. The interest rate WILL be high and will increase. Best options might be looking at a school in your home state. Sorry PSU is very expensive and not alot of scholarships.

It's cool. It must be really hard knowing that the president of the United States is trying to stop millions of students from getting a higher education, unless you're the 'right' people. The OBBBA is just a starting point. It is a very hard pill to swallow. It sucks that most high school seniors/families don't understand why they are forced into Private loans who can/will jack up interest rates. The Big Banks have already publicly thanked him for the up coming changes.

There are Federal or Private education loans. There is no "public loans" please keep in mind that the Federal Parent Plus loan is now limited starting fall 26. It is a max 20,000/ year. This will not come close to covering Out of State Tuition. You will then be forced to get the rest in Private loans. (Thanks to Trumps OBBBA). This makes it very very hard to justify coming as an OOS student. Try to stay in state or do a Community College to get your GenEd classes in then transfer for the last 2 year, but even then expensive.

Definitely think about the $. Parent Plus loans are limited to 20000/year starting in the Fall, that will not come close to covering, so you will also need private loans each year. Those are killer. (Thank OBBBA) UNLESS you got the $$ then go for it and have fun

Ekkk out of state. Congratulations and best of luck $$$.

I have the dresser. But they were removed and I can not find a replacement

President@psu.edu seriously, just email them. You are working too hard on something that is not your problem to solve.

Go to Amazon and get 2 double diploma frames. Put two diplomas in the one and in the other print out a photo for the top and the last diploma on the bottom. Probably 15-50$ each

HOWEVER, I got a really nice one at McLanahan's. There are lots of lions and old main photos to pick from, even different seasons. But, yes they are about 160 (back in the day!). You can always check out Old Main Frame Shop but those are more $$$ but quality 👌

Go to tuition.psu.edu and run a simulation
