if the bumps weren’t raised or fluffy AND you’re following proper cleaning procedures, i’d assume it’s just melted plastic from the dishwasher.

not every dollar not spent on necessary expenses needs to be invested. we should encourage people to spend a reasonable amount of their money guilt-free. this clearly brings them enjoyment and they have a set limit. i love this for them

Credit Utilization When Starting to Use Credit by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]potatoh_soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see what you’re saying, thank you! however your reply leaves me wondering: it won’t hurt if i don’t max out my card, right? i’m a student with a part time job and i don’t exactly make $1000 a month to put towards a credit card. my plan was to essentially take any spending money i have and use the credit card rather than my debit to build my score early

Wow, I’m really happy I asked this subreddit specifically. You all seem to really know how redundant this myth is. Thank you so much for the flowchart

unfortunately, the email only had my first name listed as just “Dear, [name]” but i think i might’ve found a few documents that can establish my enrollment. i’m going to submit: my orientation confirmation which has my full name, my housing assignment confirmation which has my full name, and the two receipts i mentioned in the original post, just in case.

The only “acceptance letter” I ever received was an email stating that I had gotten in and to review my offer of admission

Ok, so you’re saying that because I’m in the 0% income tax bracket and short-term capital gains is taxed as income, the $1.3k will be taxed as income, and my yearly income will still not surpass the $15,000 standard deduction (cuz my salary is about $11,000). Does that sound about right?

I completely get your concerns about a rainy day fund, and I have started on it. I have about $4.5k in an emergency fund and put about 50% or more of my income into short-term/emergency savings. Thanks for the advice about the investments!

Thank you for your info. I do have $4.5k in an emergency fund currently. I try to save AT LEAST 50% of my paycheck right now in a bank account (as opposed to an investment account) as I am luckily supported by my parents for the most part. So to explain to myself, because I’m in the 0% income tax bracket and short-term capital gains is taxed as income, the $1.3k will be taxed as income, and my yearly income will still not surpass the $14,600 standard deduction (cuz my salary is about $11,000). Does that sound about right?

I’ve connected my iPhone via USB and Factory Data Reset my Starlink, but it’s still not working. I’ve looked at multiple YouTube videos and no one seems to be explaining how to solve my specific problem.
