But, there are a lot of "fucking idiots" when it comes to money. People with no excuse.
Yea, but it's still none of your business to tell the "fucking idiots" what to do with their money.
Granted, I don't have debt, I live very well, and am thankful for everything I've been able to do. But I never rub it in others faces and tell them, "Look at me, I make all this money and have no debt, and you shouldn't either. Sorry you had student loans to go to college, and get a good job, but you you shouldn't buy a house, even if you think it's within your means because you have a debt"
no. no. no. It's none of anyone's business what they do with their money.

I don't want to argue. I'll just say I have very strong feels about the working poor. And I think too many people don't realize how lucky they are to have what they have and not worry about debt much less making it to their next payday.
.andplusalso, You're coming straight out of the gate guns blazing, slow and steady wins the race, and friends...... You've been here a whopping 2 days.

My randoms for the night: I managed to get a lawyer who specializes in educational/school law and a college history professor for interviews covering the stupid APUSH bill. My student procured a legislator who voted against it in committee. We both feel very accomplished.
I spoke with both counselors about my student who is in an abusive relationship. We all agreed it is time to bring the parents in. I'm a little scared.
I had former students give $65 and $75 to our GoFundMe project today for our band trip and it warmed my heart. Neither were band kids. One was just a Capstone student of mine who apparently loved our school, and the other didn't even graduate with us but she was a beloved student of mine. It warmed my heart.
My heart was also warmed when a band kid brought a painting down for me to see. He finished it today, and has been working on it since the day we came back from winter break. It was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. He framed it and was going to give it to his mom as a birthday slash Christmas gift. I hope she loves it as much as I did.
I made steak for dinner. There is a lot of butter on my steak. It's delicious.

100% agree with this. I know there are people that are struggling. I won't argue with you.

I saw an article about this this morning on my FB feed and thought of you. I read this:
"State Rep. Dan Fisher (R) introduced a bill at the beginning of the month that keeps the state from funding AP U.S. History unless the College Board changes the curriculum. The bill also orders the state Department of Education to establish a U.S. History program that would replace the AP course."
I have no knowledge of the curriculum. Is that the real issue here? Or is it a cover-up? I'm confused why they would want to get rid of it!

I'm sorry if I at any time came across as snooty and privileged. Truly. I really didn't mean to offend anyone or act all holier than thou, that's really not who I am.
I don't see how you have done any wrong.
I think I'm to blame here for bringing up $. Sensitive subject, and I crossed the line.
I don't want people to think I'm snooty, either. I just get excited learning about money management is all.

Excited...And also fairly judgmental regarding people who decide to buy homes while also having other debts (which, I'd assume is a large portion of people on this board).

My bad. Really don't want to judge anyone. I don't know all their situations, just going off of my debt obstacles on the past. Definite delivery failure on my end.

That'd be me. MH and I have 2 loans for cars and our house. But God forbid, we didn't buy because we had our car loans. If that was the case we probably would have never have bought because MH buys and sells cars almost as much as he changes underwear. But like someone said earlier, if I'm going to be making a monthly payment I'd rather it be going towards equity on my own home instead of nothing.

Wait, wait, wait......so you're NOT supposed to have debt?!
Damn it. Why the hell am I in graduate school getting more student loans? Or why did I buy a car when mine got totaled (because I was totally planning on flipping my car a few months after paying it off)? I thought accruing debt was the American dream!
