euphronius posted:not for pslf Still hosed up though because over 20 years you'll have paid tens of thousands back to the DoE but since it's all interest you still take the full tax hit on your original principal amount when it's forgiven and then you end up in another payment plan to the IRS, with interest. But at least tax debt can get wiped in bankruptcy so there's always that option at the age of 45 I guess. This could be avoided if the government would at least not charge people interest on education loans but gotta monetize the rot I guess.

Why would dentists give out free toothpastes? That would only means they'll have less returning customers, thus less money for them C'mon think a little bit man

https://x.com/rcbregman/status/1699406128902447476?s=46 wow who could’ve guessed that giving people more money would solve a lot of money-related issues? https://x.com/rcbregman/status/1699406134535487739?s=46 I don’t know how it is in Canada, but I know in America, they aren’t going to just give out money to people

Dentistry as well as optical in the US is in this weird loving spot where it's necessary medical care but it's treated like some kinda luxury plastic surgery or something outside of common medical care Why it's not wrapped into medical insurance like the rest of the upkeep on our decrepit physical forms is beyond me

VitalSigns posted:The SAVE program forgives interest in excess of your payments, so interest won't accrue. As long as you make the payments the loan balance can at worst stay the same. yeah it’s garbage I have to hope tho this will not be the status quo and things will change for the better . 25 years is a long time

euphronius posted:yeah it’s garbage I think it's what they want the status quo to be. I keep on getting poo poo ton of offers to refinance my car loans and the frequency has been increasing lately. They always say that they can refinance it to save me more than 300$ monthly but I got a 1.19 apr while the new loan will be at 8.75 apr and it'll tack on several years to the loan. I think they know that nobody can afford a high monthly payment anymore so they're just encouraging people to look at the low low monthly payments while locking them all in decades (or longer) with high interests

blatman posted:my grocery bill has largely stayed the same but the actual groceries purchased have been gradually becoming more and more depressing Same, grocery bill for a fam of 4 (incl a preteen who eats as much as two grown men) is $900/mo CAD in BC and has been the same for 4 years or so. However, we are basically vegetarian at this point. Any meat is like 100 or 200g of sausage to spice up pasta or beans n rice and a lot of potatoes and yams. Protein is eggs, tofu, lentils, sardines, beans, barley, etc. We also eat a lot of soups with homemade bread and veggie curries. Even having chicken is a bit of a treat these days whereas pre COVID we had it a few times a week. Same with out of season fruit. It's kinda funny tho because in the winter my kids will be counting down the days until strawberries are in season which is something I didn't really have a concept of at that age. Tbh the whole food inflation thing is a bummer, nothing to do but make the best of it.

Trader Joe's and Costco are the two stores on the weekly grocery store trips. Trader Joe's is still fairly cheep compared to the rest.

There’s a good Netflix documentary on centenarian communities around the world and what they eat/how they live. They are mostly plant based diets (95%) and no processed garbage. Some of them drink wine too as part of their diet and most of their protein is from beans, nuts, etc not meat. Honestly it’s not a bad diet, you definitely feel better without meat.

Quick look and polish, then charge the insurance 500$ and take what they pay.

Bread: 3 times the price Circuses: 2 times the price Rent/kid rent/skill rent: lol at lmao% interest for 30 years. Very sustainable system, it'll go on forever and ever. This is an official CSPAM doomsday thread prediction: Nobody will make a dent in cybernetic capitalism or constitutional oligarchy and it will never collapse. The system is dancing and says it will never die. The end of history where everyone is enslaved to these interlocking systems of debt peonage and they all love it and want to kill anyone who speaks against it.

The food budget gets really painful when you have a family with multiple dietary restrictions such as celiac disease and dairy allergies. A gluten free loaf of bread, which is also smaller than a normal loaf, costs $10 for a bag of two at Costco. At a regular store they're $8 a pop. Gluten free pasta also costs at least $1 more a box as well if not more. It at least prevents me from spending a dime in restaurants.
