I'm a Proletarian but work with a woman who is a Parvenus in a big way. From her 7,000 sq. foot house to the fire engine red Bentley, black Mercedes and her entire wardrobe everything screams, I have money. It grosses me out in a big way and makes me thankful I don't care about the status that people see. I care more about the status of what people don't see, like my bank account. But I have no need/desire to let people know the value of my bank account by flashing any logo.

I didn't do the doctoral program I really wanted to do because I didn't want to take on more student loans. The program I did chose, I still borrowed to pay about 3K in fees not covered by my assistantship but that was compared to 28K just for tuition at another school. I borrowed outright to pay for my entire master's and I do regret that. I will tell anyone I am glad that student loans are available, but I would advise against borrowing for a graduate degree (I'm not talking about professional programs like law, medicine, etc) And I would definitely avoid private loans. If I could go back I would have gone part time to a state school or just waited/searched for a program where I could do an assistantship. They are out there but rarely advertised. And now I'm still not sure it will be worth it salary wise because the positions I'm interested in, I don't have the experience. But I'm confident things will balance out for me in the next 5-10 years.

I am just finishing up a master's degree, paid for by my employer. Granted, I took classes at a pace consistent with what my employer would pay each year, so it has been a 3.5 year endeavor – but I have only paid for books and a couple hundred dollars in tuition each year. I used financial aid to pay for my courses and paid the loan back when I got my reimbursement 8 weeks later. It has worked well for me. It is something to consider if you want to pursue more education.

"I got the recipe and made it from scratch at home." Brilliant! There's a spot called Jin that has amazing potstickers with an even better dipping sauce… I somehow convinced them to show me the bottle–now, I cook the dish at home. I go there once/month instead of a few times per week.

Comment on Do You Need a Financial Advisor? by Compare Payday Loans

Compare Payday Loans — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:14:33 +0000

Many people who believe that they don't need a financial planner could benefit from one anyway.

The decision about whether or not to seek advice can be critical. If you do choose to seek advice, carefully choose the right professional for the job and you should be on your way to a better financial plan. If you decide to go it alone, remember if at first you don't succeed, you can try again … or call an advisor.

Comment on Lebron James And Savannah: Sidekick, Baby Mama or More? by missmajestic

missmajestic — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:43:04 +0000

She is truly delusional. okay maybe not baby mama…then what are you…girlfriend? partner (sidekick)? sons' mother-because that sounds so much better than baby mama. Obviously she likes this arrangement. She is the one deciding to stay with him. A saw a video where she was bout in tears expressing what a good father Lebron was. I betcha all the tea in China Savannah had an absentee father or an idiot one. I betcha her mother never got married. Point I'm trying to make is both her and Lebron probably grew up in an environment where marriage was not valued. Where they had few examples of normal married couples. So she doesn't see what the big deal is. and neither does Lebron. At least La La had a career, what can Savannah do career wise?

Comment on My Wife Paying Child Support to My Ex by loving mother

loving mother — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 13:18:39 +0000

No doubt the biological mother in this account is worthless. However, I have questions about the father, also. He states that as long as his child has "daily necessities" that is all the that he should be obligated to. At no time does he state that he wants the very best for his child that he can provide. At no point does he say that he would rather sacrifice luxuries himself in order to do more for his child. It is a shame that NO ONE in this situation has normal parental insticts and is trying to figure out how they can do more for this child instead of finding ways to do as little as possible.
