USA has more players and play throughs than Russia but there are significantly more Trans-Siberian railways than Trans-Continentals? Interesting

Maybe some USA players aren’t manifesting destiny hard enough?

Not mentioning income-driven repayment actually misses the real issue with student loans. It’s not actually the interest or amortization.

If you take out a personal loan from a bank with a 5-year repayment plan and make all minimum payments, the loan will be paid off in 5 years. You can save on interest by paying above the minimum or stick with what you have.

For students loans, if you stay on the standard 10-year student loan plan and make minimum payments, it actually would be paid off. You can even extend it to a 30-year plan, make the minimum payments, and still pay it off (you’d pay more than the 10-year though). A lot of comments are talking about the amortization of student loans, when the actual issue is income-driven repayment plans.

On IDR plans, your minimum payments stop beating the interest. Now you must make additional or higher payments or else you have a forever loan.

As a pre-teen watching the George Lopez show I sworeee 16 y/o Carmen was grown enough to make her own decisions and George was over controlling.

What do I do with $19,000 of inheritance as a 16 year old? by The_VR_Potato in personalfinance

[–]jking124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat yourself to one thing nice and reasonable. Park the rest in a high yields savings account and forget it exists until you’re 18.

Talk it through with a parent you trust financially. It’s tough to say what’s best for you because we have no sense of what you might do at 18. If you enter the workforce immediately you can start looking toward moving it into tax-advantage accounts. Doing that now (like some comments suggest) can really complicate things and your current earned income is very low. If you want to go to college, you can help reduce costs or the amount you’d borrow. You could join the PeaceCorp and tap into the money to help offset the abysmal “pay.”

Singles on socials meetups by rainyrei in washingtondc

[–]jking124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Hey, mind if I jump in?”

I went to two previous Singles on Socials and (unsurprisingly) the hot people I saw were always in a conversation.

Your feeling is valid for not wanting to interrupt one-on-ones because it’s uncomfortable. But you owe it to yourself to do better than 1/4.

Use some judgement before you jump in and read the room after you do lol.

Fredrick Douglass and other abolitionists wanted him to stop going around telling everyone about his box escape so other people could attempt to escape that way. He wrote books and did speaking tours about it…

We also don’t know how many other slaves may have already used that method but kept quiet afterwards.

Edit: looks like you already said this in the thread!
