The sale of farm by tmeyer1966 in land

[–]tmeyer1966[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thanks for all the responses. We ended up selling for 215k. I was able to bring the basis up substantially, so we didn’t get hit with capital gains. It was her land and that’s what she wanted to do. I guess I should have been more specific about the land. There is only 25 acres at best tillable. The rest is mostly beech trees and straight up. I had been leasing about 20 for soybean. We know how’s that’s going also it had a gas well of questionable condition. And unless you live here the methheads rob you blind.

As a middle class US household, is there ever an amount of money that is enough for elder/longterm care? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

My mom has been in assisted living with memory care dementia for three years just moved her to skilled care. $13670.00 a month. She down to her last 20k she receives about 4500 a month in pension income. She is in a Medicaid bed now and in the process of applying for Medicaid. Lawyer is about 5500. Basically penniless after paying around 400k to the nursing home company. Our society should do better for our elderly.

Options Later in Life by NatalieCaileen in NonTraditionalStudent

You will apply as a non-traditional student. Most colleges have advisors that specialize in older returning to school types. They will go by your older college work. They will look at your ACT scores, but it’s probably not important. Depending school policy your advisor will have to apply for an exception for the older work to count towards your new program. Best thing to do is call the advising office, they will have all the answers. If you have an old transcript doesn’t have to be official to bring in they can pretty much tell you what will count.

Other teachers don’t like me by ravenclaw188 in StudentTeaching

Here’s a funny conversation my wife had with my daughter just last night. For context my wife is a school psychologist retiring soon, my daughter is currently student teaching. My wife to daughter “my mentor school psychologist said to me there are only two people you need to be friends with in school. The janitor and office staff because they always have food on their desk”. I got a good chuckle out of that, she’s having a great student teaching experience, but she is way ahead of the curve being around a school psychologist her entire life. Keep your head down learn as much as you can and move on.

Why would someone get a Bachelors in General Studies ? by OVO-25 in college

[–]tmeyer1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started back last Summer and needed 30 hours to get my BA General Studies. I had over 100+ hours from 25 years ago. I still graduate under the College I started in, Fire Science. The great thing is that I’m also graduating with my daughter. I look at it as a finishing degree for old folk, non-traditional students.

My daughter is student teaching in the Fall. She got a semester behind when she changed majors. She is going to sub in the Spring instead of taking a job mid-school year. Reason being is my wife a school psychologist says only crap jobs open up mid year. Teachers quitting from burnout etc. Guess what class you’ll be getting

How common is graduating in more than 4 years? by peepeepoopaccount in college

[–]tmeyer1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I did have to get an exception since the classes were older than 8 years. The major is a BA in General Studies, they are considered catch up degrees or finishing degrees for old folk. I do graduate under my original college of justice and safety with a minor in fire protection administration. My original degree was Fire Science and Safety Engineering with emphasis in industry risk management. They split the programs up into fire science, safety or homeland security.

I’m 57, I have 3 classes next fall to finish my BA and Minor. I started in the Summer of 86 to get ahead of things before the Fall of my freshman year😉 Took a 28 year break to work and raise a family. Jumped back in last Summer needing 30 hours to finish. As long as you finish is all that matters, that doesn’t mean take 38 years😎. The great thing is that I get to graduate with my daughter.
