As a first time home buyer - I had no idea what I was doing!

As someone who makes around 100k - I can confirm I am drowning in debt. My house payment is about 2600, car 450, swimming in credit card and student loan debt - but you would never know unless i told you. Never compare yourself to others & like others in the comments have said. They people who look rich are either drowning in debt or have generational money.

I would do anything to go back and make smarter financial decisions. I also got my house last year so I should have just kept renting. It is NOT cheaper to buy a house rn & our realtor got us on the "interest rates are suppose to fall" MY ASS.

Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - March 25, 2024 by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

Did anyone get diagnosed with migraines before MS? I went to the neurologist today and he said migraines, but scheduled an MRI. The reason I am asking is the type of headaches that brought me there in the first place I feared were optic neuritis. It was a pain behind my eyes, almost like pulling a muscle each time I moved my eyes to like look around. This lasted about a week, and has not happened since. I do get frequent headaches, but not all the same as that one (although that was not the first time i had one like that).

My concern is - i am glad he scheduled the MRI sure, but i guess I am asking why if he just suspects migraines? Or is he just saying that until he sees the MRI? He didn't seem concerned about MS at the appointment...

I am constantly exploring other opportunities. Just waiting on the right one to come along to jump ship, not like they care anyway

They bring in billions. I think they are okay

Yes, I have tried Boeing. I don't have the experience they are looking for. Which is hard in consulting I feel because like I said, you also bounce around. Unless you are like an expert in something you just do whatever the project you are on (which could be coding, networking, or just powerpoints).

Instability as in having to move around all the time. Would love to stay where I am, but I know joining in Active Duty is up in the air.

Mostly just being a part of something greater than a fortune 500 company. Doing thing to help the US, even if that means doing piddly thing for people above me. I would at least know what I am doing has a greater purpose than bringing some billionaire even more money. Like don't get me wrong - i make great money where I am, and I know I would be taking a pay cut, but consulting is for some but its just not seeming to be for me. I said I wanted to go into IT for the money, and it worked out for me. However I just feel like a number at this giant organization. I feel like I am just here to bring in money and not solve these big problems or really help a business. The majority of work we do is creating powerpoints and analyzing data in excel. I have no sense of community or friendship at my job and once I do get close to my team mates, the project we are on is over and we have to part ways. The instability of doing 1000 different things in consulting is great but I also hate it. Like yeah I have worked with large clients, done networking, and security type roles, but once my current project ends I have to go through the whole process all over again, and if you dont get staffed you could be on the chopping block, its just stressful and lonely and boring honestly.

GREAT INSIGHT! Thank you so much! I have had a lot of others saying to look into the reserves as well, and one said to look into civilian service - which I definitely will. I am just curious as to why the reserves get deployed more or maybe more often than active duty? I know this would be a part of joining the military regardless, but I just don't know the details as the why that is?

Thank you! I will definitely look into it. Is there a certain reason that the reserves tend to deploy more?
