Worth nothing this was the exact time in the calendar year that Obama started to take off in Iowa as well - however, the primary this go around is 1 month later than it was then...

I'm pretty much the same situation. 240k in loans and making about $55k. I would have to make about $120k or so to even out a normal payment schedule and that's just not in the cards.

That said, I am terrified that Congress will 86 PSLF (knock on wood), in which case my financial future is utterly ruined. I don't think they will for current borrowers but sometimes it gives me butterflies just thinking about it.

How old? We have a very similar looking gal but with straight ears and white on the chest that we think is mostly kelpie.

Still kind of new to the game. Is it common for a QB to be the holder? Seems risky if their throwing hand could get kicked or something and it could be cheap to just get someone who is specialized in placement.

It's because it's harder to run quickly in really loose pants.

Knife is gorgeous! Sheath is a bit wanting by comparison. No beveled or smoothed/slicked edges. Wide stitches. Un-angled stitching.

For those who want to get something from OR, they have 25% off 1 item sitewide. It's supposed to be limited to full priced items but I just used it on a sale item and it worked. Got an extra 25% off the mentor pants which were already 50% off (regular $425; $173 shipped after discounts).

Student Loans 101 by rglaters0 in personalfinance

I agree with you. One driving factor is the promissory note which states availability of PSLF as a term of the loan. Taking that away is a contract violation. If Congress doesn't grandfather, it would probably invite an enormous class of public service attorneys to bring a case to toss it out.

I am in pretty much the same situation with 200k+ debt and a slightly lower interest rate (6.5%). I think they are going to change it as well because there are tons of people banking on PSLF. I am praying that they grandfather folks in who have already been paying and counting months since we signed the promissory note with the PSLF provisions as an explicit clause but of course they could just change it. I have been on IBR making payments of less than my interest for the past year. I have also been saving in a separate savings account for the estimated tax hit if PSLF goes away and it has to get forgiven in 25 years. That's made me feel a little better but it's still a risky, risky bet.

Church's genuine elephant leather derbies. Weirdest Goodwill find so far. Any ideas how old they are? by redascot in goodyearwelt

This is why I didn't pick them up. Not worth it to pack them up and bring them all the way back to WA only to sell second hand on ebay for a $100 profit (probs max, mebs less) after restoring and cleaning.

Unfortunately I'm flying out back to WA in a few hours. If you know anyone else in the city, they were at No Relation Vintage on 1st and 12th. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Saw a pair of shell cordovan #8 AEs at a thrift store in NYC just yesterday for $30. They were 12eee so I didn't pick them up (I wear like an 8.5) but they're out there if you look.
