Jobs, yes. But really I was smart. I didn't do more than I could and I took off time and worked to pay for things I wanted. You take it too far by sarcastically assuming that I don't understand the economy, I was also unemployed for a time but had been responsible and built up an emergency fund for myself so I didn't…

Any word on this? I'd love to see the other two. I agree though that the books got a little stale at times, they started slow but ended well (each book, not the series).

I would say consider yourself someone who doesn't know everything about everyone else's finances. Take it from me, no cosigner, no financial info from my parents. Federal loans don't require it, and didn't two years ago when I got the loan in the first place. Maybe many many years ago they did, but not in the recent…

Agreed, there's good debt and bad debt, but at some point there's too much debt. I don't want to be paying someone else's car because they signed up for the maximum amount of payments (my bank has 60 month financing!) so they could have one more expensive, or someone who bought a house at the absolute top of their…

...Or is working towards something. Ambition is pretty key in that situation, I'd say.

I had no cosigner on my student loan. I also didn't have their financial information, because up until October, my family had no clue I even took out the loan.

Precisely, and that's not completely what I'm saying. I had a student loan, I also had a bit of a car payment (but I thankfully had enough saved to only have to do the payments for a year). I don't think that having payments is necessarily a bad thing. But in my life I've only had to borrow $7,000 from lenders between…

I didn't have a cosigner on a loan... I worked as hard as I could, 3-4 part time jobs all through my undergrad, took a 2 year position afterwards to save up for my graduate work and eventually took out a small loan on my own to finish up. Student loans don't always equal family help, but then again, my parents…

hahaha, nice, actually I really didn't have family help. My "family" debt is actually a student loan that I took out that was recently changed/sold to a different lender. Upon doing my research, I found out that the new lender was going to make it extremely difficult to pay off without a lot of extra hassle so I asked…

Is it so terrible to want someone to be in the same financial position as you? I mean, I'm going to be completely done paying off all debts next month (and those are just to family members) and then I'll start saving for a house. I worked HARD to make sure that I made it through school with extremely minimal debts and…

I liked the Winklevoss twins much better when they were played by Armie Hammer...

I read that basically people aren't chosen to be on the House Hunters show until they're pretty much in the closing process on a house. So the "reject" houses are usually not even on the market, that's why their excuses are so flimsy. They have to "pretend" to not like things about a house to show that they make a…

I'm not gonna lie, I watch the Twilight series. I read the books with my best friend, we go to the movies. I don't like Stewart's attitude that she's too good for what made her popular and famous, cause quite frankly she's not. It's such a stark contrast between her [Stewart's] attitude and the attitude of Jennifer…

I would hazard to say that there's no way to actually say that she hasn't lost work over it. We only know the roles that she does have, which haven't been many during the twilight phase and haven't exactly gotten much praise for her (or a lot of people watching). Playing the media game is a huge part to having a…

I guess it's fine that she doesn't want to keep them, but frankly, she won't do well without them. She's a terrible actress. Her movies don't exactly do well or have lots of critical praise. I would venture to say that SWATH did well primarily due to the fantasy aspect (I honestly didn't watch it) and also due to the…

I guess I must be in the minority, because I tend to think that there are better ways to tell people "it's none of your business" than to make snide comments about how all of your "fans" are delusional and have "little 'movie'" versions of you in their heads. Seems like their interest in you is what actually gives you…

Documented where? I would love to share some of that info with some friends because it's always frustrated me!

Danny Strong was the only actor (aside from the main cast) who appeared in episodes in all seven seasons of Buffy. And he certainly played some big supporting roles in several of those episodes/seasons. I watched Gilmore Girls and thought "who?" until I looked at the pictures.

That's unfortunate cause it's SO good! I try not to have movies like that cause I love movies so much... but I do have a song: "Hey There Delilah." When I hear it on the radio I instantly change the channel amid comments of "That asshole!"

That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, people sue for much less these days!
