I paid some money for college. Some people paid more than me, other people paid less than me.

I just wanted to share that.

Is this now the personal anecdote thread?

I paid 6 figures for art school, got a job in IT and now 8 years later i'm super close to having it paid off.

That's my story. Clearly everyone should do what I did. Or not because gently caress having to pay 800 a month for loans right out of school.

Refinancing loans is oftentimes quite GWM? Don't need to be rich, either, but as always it helps.

I was honestly just being lovely but IME unless you have decent collateral, refinancing just means shackling yourself to higher interest for the sake of getting some more time before you go under.

Obviously refinancing for better terms is GWM but I don't think it's what the dude with the truck would be doing.

BWM. A prestigious/expensive undergrad and prestigious/expensive medical school don’t mean poo poo when it comes to grinding out those sweet RVUs.

Also lol that my undergrad “only” raised tuition 4% but is a 2k jump these days!

As we've seen a billion times in this thread, making a lot of money absolutely does not mean that you aren't terribly in debt and living paycheck to paycheck.

I graduated high school back in 2002 when FL had proper funding for bright futures scholarships and being a fuckup and losing it was probably the most BWM decision I've made in my entire life.

In my defense, I went into the computer engineering program at UCF and bounced off so hard I started mixing midazolam and bacardi. In their defense, there wasn't a such thing as a stemlord quite yet at the time and it was still a program for weird dorks who fuckin' loved math.

e: like the intro to programming teacher was this rad black lady who always reminded me of the chief from carmen sandiego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pck19C7GkC4. These days the average stemlord would be trying to get her fired for white genocide or whatever they're on a tear about these days.

In serious debt and 3 months behind on my mortgage. Is Bankruptcy my best option? (self.personalfinance)

submitted 6 hours ago by Psans88

This board has helped me before, so helpfully you can again. In the last few months, I switched jobs and lost several hundreds of dollars in take-home pay in doing so. The new job has its perks (Fine Dining restaurant, Close to Home, etc...) but I am now 4 months behind on my mortgage and have maxed my credit cards. My fiance and I don't know what to do. I have picked up an additional job in the mornings but don't foresee how to dig myself out of this hole. I feel that Bankruptcy may be my best option, but the thought of it is terrifying. I have consulted family and legal advice and they seem to be split about what is best for me. Any advice would be very helpful.

Debts: Mortgage - 1800 a month (currently behind by 7700) Credit Card debt - roughly 8000 (both cards have been turned off) Pay - 760 a week take home Car payment - 350 a month Timeshare maintenance - 90 a month (my finance pays the monthly i just pay the maintenance)
