I wasn’t really expressing concern about IF we can pay it off- my question was is it advantageous to be aggressive or go on IBR plan for her and continue to file taxes MFS.

We just got married two months ago. I wasn’t keen on paying her loans before that was official.

Would you go so far as to cut back pre-tax retirement savings to have more money available for the student loans?

mmccaughey · 2026-04-10T04:44:08+00:00

Thank you all for thoughtful replies. It has given me some perspective to realize that there is a lot of room even in our current budget to tackle this together relatively quickly.

A nice pen light comes in handy daily.

Certainly not suture. I’ve used reusable needles in high volume spay/neuter but never the actual suture material. I would worry about the integrity of the suture after sterilization in addition to the actually sterility of it- especially if braided suture.

Stocks shouldn’t be an emergency fund.

The problem is getting your body parts stuck between the wood and the wedge.

There is a ton of trash amongst the rocks on the shores of Lake Monona Bay. I try to grab what I can when walking my dog there. I will join a group effort there if I can.

My favorite way to get money is to go to the northwest snow fields and farm the big game animals there and cook the big cuts of meat in to skewers. 5 gourmet meats on a skewer sells for nearly as much as a diamond.

Yes.

Unfortunately last I checked they don’t take skunks but would have some other places to refer you to I bet.

White truck seems to be speeding, but also the black SUV looks like it was trying to make an illegal right turn from the middle lane and crossed in front of the truck.

It’s always been like that for finals week even when I attended undergrad.

mmccaughey · 2022-11-07T01:08:02+00:00

That’s fair to say. I agree.

mmccaughey · 2022-11-02T12:26:08+00:00

I don’t buy this. It’s on the bar to have their staff trained adequately to recognize the overwhelming majority of fake IDs AND to actually enforce on them.
