$10 annually? Come on McK, we all know you can afford to do better than that...

Ha I set up a recurring annual contribution of $10 which is worth not getting those annoying calls.

My school still owes me a $200 reimbursement for fronting another club member's flight. On principle, I refuse to donate a dime until that debt is honored

^Mck, I love that. It's awkward telling them no when they catch you on the phone. So i assume they take your name off the auto dial list if you enlist for any amount

Is there a reason why they target recent grads more? Or it feels that way at least.

Tell them you'll give a $ for every dollar they write-off from your student loan debt

Curious for everyone’s thoughts on real-estate right now.. my spouse and I are in Denver and trying to buy our first home. To get a halfway decent 3BR home, we have to spend upwards of 500k and still put a little work/investment in to update the home.. I can’t help but feel we should be waiting for 6 more months and seeing if the price drops.. I want to take advantage of the low rates right now, but can’t believe a half million still requires further investment to update the home.
