I do everything on my credit card for the points and I pay my balance in full every single month. The B word isn't even in my vocabulary because it will never happen barring some extremely bad medical condition.

The highest interest rate currently being paid in the country (as far as I can find) is 1.1%, and it's by a pretty shady firm. http://www.moolanomy.com/1333/how-to...duct=33&sort=2 The average money market rate in the US today is 0.29%. If you are getting 2%, let me know where, and I'll film you making pornographic videos with R8ers's underage daughter. |
Wow, there appears to be a lot of jealousy of the guy who has no debt in this thread.

I've heard that you're a lawyer. You must be a criminal defense lawyer, because defending scumbags and overlooking the shitty things they do seems to come naturally to you. Or perhaps it's his mindless extremism that appeals to you. Is getting out of/reducing debt a good thing? Of course. It's not the message - it's the messenger. If some asshole calls me 10 times a day saying "DID YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH? YOU SUCK IF YOU DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH! YOU RAPE LITTLE GIRLS IF YOU DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH!" my thinking he's an annoying idiot won't have anything to do with brushing my teeth. |

Hows my little fat girlfriend at your house doing this morning? |
R8ers is nothing less than annoying. I describe him as a skidmark on the underwear of life.

Second, I know the secret to avoiding the kind of irritation that you describe, but it takes a bit of self awareness and self control. For example, when R8ers started this thread, I read the first dozen or so posts and decided (a) I wasn't interested in answering his question and (b) I wasn't very interested in hearing a discussion of the pros and cons of debt free living. I left the thread and didn't come back until it was necessary to see why Dane left. It seems like a massive over-reaction to some run-of-the-mill name calling to me. I can only assume that you turned on your ex-friend R8ers, after he gently encouraged you to stay out of it, out of a strange need to stay on Dane's good side, groupie-style. |

Anyone posting copies of any personal financial information on here to satisfy R8ers fascination with being debt-free should be banned for being just plain stupid.

Each person lives their life to the best of their capabilities....some have circumstances they cannot avoid which do not allow them to be debt-free. (You disagreed with me on this in another thread) If you are debt-free, congratulations I am happy for you. But to exhibit an almost "prick-like" attitude towards others who are not serves no purpose. Berating people and then resorting to a campaign of slurs only makes you look less the man. |

Okay,
1) When did this Faider **** decide that just because his team blew it's wad fighting the AFC West and could not do jack-shit against pathetic teams, that he could now walk about like his suck ass franchise is a source of empowerment? And, 2) Why the **** would Dane "Leave Forever" at the incredibly weak ramblings of a gutless, self-absorbed pussy? |

I'm on my way to a meeting with a bankruptcy attorney at 9:30 this morning. Yeah, I'm not doing well financially at the moment.
Going to college was the ****ing worst decision I've ever ****ing made. I should have gone to a trade school of some sort. When you are (well, when many of us are) 18 years old, you don't realize how important these things are without an elaborate future plan previously mapped out. Back then, my focus was more geared towards chicks and wrestling. I figured merely attaining a BA would automatically result in being "fine." And if I got into a financial pickle, "future rico" would be able to handle it.. Well, "future rico" is now "present rico" and "present rico" would give anything to be given the chance to go back and smack "past rico" upside the head. Problem is...even if that were possible, "present rico" doesn't have anything to give. Stupid...stupid....STUPID!!!! |

HELP them lay out a plan. Don't just throw them into the wild at 18. 18 year olds are generally NOT capable of making sound life altering decisions. |

I'm really, really sorry to hear that. Don't get me started on the economics of college. I will rant on forever. Not quite the same thing, of course, but I have personally dissuaded three people I know from going to law school, and couldn't be more proud of it. People think "law degree = big bucks" but they are VERY, VERY wrong. The American middle class obsession with obtaining a college education is ****ing over generations of young people. |
Good luck Rico

Unfortunately, one of the things his bankruptcy attorney will tell him is that it is very, very hard to discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Not impossible, but not easy and certainly not guaranteed.

Now, the cost of college has skyrocketed, and I know people with Ph.D.'s who are working for $30k/year. It's criminal. |
Quote:
What has happened, in part, is that the value of college degrees has significantly lessened due to a vast, vast, increase in supply. Second, the costs of a college education have exploded due to: 1. federal grants/loans 2. demand for a college education due to changing societal norms. No longer is it geared to get you a job or profession, but now it's basically a minimum reqiurement for "polite society". 3. absolutely NO risk by colleges or banks in giving loans to students to go. There is no longer any rational relationship between the cost of a college education, and the degree you get. WHY THE **** IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT LOANING ANY ****ING FOOL WHO WANTS ONE THE MONEY TO GO GET A GODDAMN ENGLISH OR HISTORY DEGREE? Why the **** is the cost of an English degree the same as the cost of an engineering degree? The cost of college has outpaced EVERYTHING else over the last 30 years. Even ****ing healthcare. The system is entirely broken and needs a complete overhaul. |
Quote:
And yeah, the bubble burst on law school about 6-7 years ago. Honestly, I'm not sure what I'll tell my kid in 15 years. As you've noted, college degrees are expensive as hell for no good reason but if you want to get into the work force, you damn near have to have one. And as for find a steady route to a lucrative career....there just damn near isn't one anymore. Medicine? Yeah, engineering if you manage to get your foot in the door. The future economy is just so far beyond my understanding that I wouldn't know where to start. It wouldn't surprise me at all if 20 years from now we're approaching an era where more people are freelancing than aren't. The idea of a stable, long-term employer seems to be less and less doable. I'm just hopeful that the workforce finds a way to deal with changing technologies in the future and when it does, it stabilizes. Right now you're just in such a prisoner's dilemma with college and the employment market that I wouldn't know where to start. |

Agreed. It's a problem. I just heard about a fascinating program that a friend's niece is going to do. It's a college that started out as a culinary school but has now expanded and is obviously much more "market-oriented" in terms of providing degrees with real life skills. They are currently starting a new program for a degree in -- basically -- computer security. All about how to protect networks from hacks and all that stuff. NOW THAT IS A ****ING CAREER PATH FOR THE NEW MILLENIA. It's a small college in Rhode Island that I never heard of, but it was honestly the best plan for a career path I've heard in a long while from someone of HS or college age. |
This is it. Johnson and Wales Unviersity. Sounds like a hand cream, but whatever.
