I think the focus here should be they only made 170k working two jobs… that’s insanely low pay for two jobs if you’ve got a college degree and are working in your field of study.

Ok, I have never made 1/2 of that working in nonprofit or profit at one job since I received my MBA. I don’t think salaries are what the majority of the people who post on here think they are!

Everyone I know is drowning in debt, mostly student debt. It sucks that people are being forced to do this but then demonized when they do.

First, I want to congratulate this person for having the tenacity to work two full-time jobs to accomplish a goal that he had, but it's frustrating that he had $50,000 of student loan debt and could not achieve this salary with one job.

Its just terrible. I can totally relate. I got my four year degree, went into debt and couldn't find a job in my field. I ended up getting my real estate license and am finally making decent money. Meanwhile, I have no savings because all my excess money is going to pay off the student loan for a degree I never even used. Ughhhh.

I know many are working in fields other than their degree field but that degree and the fact that you started something and finished it is a bonus in your favor! Plus, often there are things that you worked on or experiences that you completed that help you in the future!!!

Well I can tell you from personal experience that this is what it takes for me. I have to work two jobs just to be able to make my student loan payment because the amount is so high.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.

I made a mistake starting SIP in a ULIP. Used to invest 7500 per month starting from November 2018. I have discontinued my premium payments since last year. That is when my fund was moved to an interim surrender state and now it earns 4% per annum interest.

After 5 years of lock-in that is November 2023, can i withdraw the entire amount at a time? (Of course after paying surrender charges)

Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
