I'm not even sure this is a good deal for the lender, since they look to be an independent financing company that works with dealerships. I think they are a Buy here, Pay here dealer, which means they LOVE to get a few payments and then just repossess and sell it again. e:f;b

If I wanted an Associates vs just credit transfer to university, same cost, slightly different class load. I thought most universities would only accept about 60 to 75 credits from a community college towards a bachelor's? Unless credits work differently where you are.

Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up. We use semester credits in Arizona, so 124 for you would be 62 for us.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Plus, physical silver has its own host of risks. My dad is a history nerd and he buys a few Roman silver coins on Veneralia each year. It's coming up and he just realized he has no clue where the box is. Ironically, this is the reason that there are so many Roman coins still around. People buried them and then forgot where they were, or died without telling anyone else about their hoard.

Mocking Bird posted:She should definitely apply for IBR as soon as possible. If she's a teacher, look into the federal loan forgiveness program - certain professions (such as teaching) are eligible for loan forgiveness after 10 years of payments. If her debt exceeds 10 years worth of low IBR payments and her teaching job is eligible, it would make the higher interest and slow payoff matter much, much less. Even better would be the teacher loan forgiveness for 5 years of service you get up to 17,500 forgiven with no tax penalties. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/teacher And then I'm pretty sure you can also apply for the 10 year forgiveness if you haven't paid them off before then.

The Mandingo posted:She has looked into the teacher loan forgiveness program, and she would be able to get around $10,000 of the $17,500 available if she could get into a qualifying school. Is the federal forgiveness program available with the teacher loan forgiveness program? Actually I just did some quick checking and the 10 years would start after the five years of the teacher loan forgiveness grant, so if the balances are very high it may be worth it to just go straight for the 10 year.

Whatever I'm gonna end up paying them all anyway, there isn't much there, but way to make it super confusing. That's really weird of your servicer to use both terms. Stafford loans were under the FFEL, which were no longer offered after 2010.

My wife and I have an HDHP and it works out to be much cheaper than the PPO alternative, just because the company she works for deposits $150 into the HSA each month, and the premium is only about $40/ month.

Externalities are stuff like pollution and wear and tear on the roads that neither of you are paying for. Yeah, I really mean that maybe some drivers will see that they are not taking all costs into account, and then maybe, just maybe some of them will extend that line of thought into other aspects of their life. Probably not though, because people are stupid.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:If it's 3 times in a row, they're lucky. If they do it 20 times in a row, I want to know how. Like, if you watched a guy walk around a casino, pull 20 slots and win all of them, you wouldn't think that maybe he knew something you didn't? I don't really care about this guy and I don't "think he's smart" but I don't think he's a retard either just because he made predictions that were true. If I watched a guy win a slot machine 20 times in a row, I would get a refill on my rum and coke and wait for the security guards to escort him out of the casino for hacking machines. The odds of that actually happening legitimately would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 in 10^94

They also increased the odds of winning the smaller payouts to trick more people into thinking it's worth it to play.  http://time.com/money/4066960/powerball-lottery-new-rules-odds/

Costco can be a great tool if you use it correctly. The biggest savings for my household are paper towels, toilet, paper, cleaning supplies, and things like that. Pet supplies are well priced at Costco, as well. You can get 42# bags of cat litter for the half the price of buying it at Petsmart.
