Hey, the interest on the national debt isn't going to pay itself!That just an indirect way of taxing us taxpayers.
We just got our numbers for IU undergrad next year. It’s now over $31k instate. Federal student loans are capped at $5,500 a year. We got $0 in aid under the new FAFSA formula. The 529 will be depleted in 2 years.
Now that the FAFSA formula does not consider how many kids you have in college at the same time, I’m not sure what the hell I’m gonna do when I have 2 in a couple years. Writing checks for $50k each year seems untenable.
This is the generational issue. College is now outrageously expensive. It’s not just students and their debt load. It’s the parents trying to figure out how to pay these large bills each semester.
What do you suggest?I hope you don't expect to pay 100% of your kids' education. Let them figure out how to pay a significant portion. You'll be doing them, and yourself, a favor.
Stollcpa’s friends told him to get divorced numerous times the 26 years before I filed. I stayed for my son. Coached most all of his sports teams and I stayed until a month after his wedding. Sit son and daughter in law down the night I left. They weren’t surprised.
The only thing worse than being 'unintellectual' is thinking you're an intellectual by posting financial graphs on an internet site meant for sports discussion.
Any Country music haters can NEVER be trusted.OK, I get the music part. But then again, my dad absolutely hated my music. He didn't allow anything but seriously twangy country on his car radio. Hence my hatred of country.
Oh yeah - you're in trouble.IU just moved to the top. She loves Bloomington. Loves it.
Perhaps you've don't realize statistics can be manipulated to show different things with the same data.We didn't need you to confirm that data, facts and statistics are too difficult for you to process. We've known that for a long time.
Most guys love watching them mature from freshmen to seniors also.Haha I just said that and then read yours. I truly could not love girls that age and stage of development more. The best thing though was watching them grow and mature from freshmen to seniors. I miss it like crazy.

No, obviously you don't.
Another nasty job was working in the chicken houses - many of those around where I grew up.Melon fields was where it was at.

Not opinion - real experience. I don't blame you for not having real historical experience, but you shouldn't put down anyone who has.By all means - let's just take Dan's opinion as gospel then.
Well that’s what I thought I wanted, until it was humid , 90 and buggy the first day. I then decided to work at the country club pool down the street.A lot of my female classmates detassled. They wanted the tan.

For them paying part of the cost? Well, the military is one very good option.What do you suggest?
Yeah, better option for sure. Not many country clubs or pools where we lived in the country.Well that’s what I thought I wanted, until it was humid , 90 and buggy the first day. I then decided to work at the country club pool down the street.
Son’s senior year of high school I received emails from two teachers who I had never personally communicated with. Both told me that my son was a leader, kind to everyone, opened doors for girls and adults and other compliments. He’s married with one child. He just got his second promotion at his job. He’s one of the youngest to have to position he already has.The real question is - which you'll never know with certainty - do you think if you had left 26 years ago (or any time before that), your kids would have turned out better? I'm curious. On one hand, having a stable nuclear family is very beneficial. But, if you or your wife weren't happy, how stable and great was the family and/or your experience as individual parents?
I didn’t have to wait. I felt I should.Damn you had to wait until your kid got married? Ugh. Worst thing I’ve read in a long time.
Piece Rate and edit NO F-ING UNIONS either.Um, that's not true. Maybe in the early 70s, but by the mid-to-late 70s, factories were shutting down.
What manufacturing jobs were paying what office jobs/management did? Maybe if you owned your own business, but your average factory worker wasn't making white collar salaries/wages.
Piece rate is not typical in regular manufacturing employment.Piece Rate and edit NO F-ING UNIONS either.
Mitch is 75. Here we go again -- another codger.I don't agree at all that Mitch would not be competitive. He would have had a history of accomplishment in actually governing successfully in Indiana. He was able to recruit effective managers to drive efficiencies in State Departments.. BMV is only one example..
Cortez is an Ivy Leaguer!!!! He did better than your coach in school!!!! Head coach of the group that runs the whole board!!! Let that sink in!!!! His damn kids aren’t going into the Fing military’For them paying part of the cost? Well, the military is one very good option.
You posted exploring Ivy Tech for some credits - that's a great option to cut costs.
I don't know if they still have work/study, but that's income. When my daughter went there 20011-2015, every place was looking for student workers. Summer jobs, of course.
At some point, people have to face reality - if they want to go to the college of their choice, they're going to have to pay for it, via loans or other methods. If I were you, I'd tell them "I can pay this much - you pick where you want to go and how to pay for the rest". And have that discussion as early as possible.
But I think it's important to include them in the discussion and put some responsibility on them for their own education.
Yeah, crazy notion....Cortez is an Ivy Leaguer!!!! He did better than your coach in school!!!! Head coach of the group that runs the whole board!!! Let that sink in!!!! His damn kids aren’t going into the Fing military’
The discussion was regarding Daniels and the Republican nomination in 2012, not current candidacy...Mitch is 75. Here we go again -- another codger.
It was where I lived and everyone made bank. I can't help idiot owners that don't put themselves in their employees shoes. No offense, just saying. I would do the same in a fast food restaurant. That bag better be out the window when that customer pulls up and pump up the volume. Happy workers, Happy customers, Happy owners. That's the way it should be yes?Piece rate is not typical in regular manufacturing employment.

You voted for Biden, right?
Then the boomers drug us off into foreign wars that did zero to increase our national security. All while cutting taxes and driving us $30T into debt within a matter of 23 years. An amazing achievement.
My parents couldn’t combine their earnings/savings/wealth to leave a peanutDon't forget deregulating the banks and turning a blind eye to highly risky and illegitimate lending practices that tanked the economy. It took ten years to recover from that, while the haves got bailed out and the have nots were told that life just sucks sometimes.

He has one big fault. He wants to win 100% of the time. I am totally the cause of that.
What boat? You thinking of bolting? If so I’ll share my WEALTH of knowledge from personal experience twice, my dad who waited until I left for college to divorce, and close friends who did divorces for yearsThat’s great, but doesn’t directly address
the question. If it’s too personal, tell me to fvck off. But I am intrigued by the complexity of the situation. I may be in a similar boat.
My #2 was a Hooters refuge. When that didn’t work, I figured what the hell and stepped down to a gal that clean hotel rooms.What boat? You thinking of bolting? If so I’ll share my WEALTH of knowledge from personal experience twice, my dad who waited until I left for college to divorce, and close friends who did divorces for years
Not every situation is the same but some generalizations. Fighting parents are no good for kids. But if you can be content without a spark it’s best to wait until they leave bc even when you have kids as much as I do, which is a ton, you still miss them, and words can never capture the torture of the drive after you drop them off for the switch.
If you have to go brace yourself for the divorce and subsequent earthquake that lasts two to five years to calm down. It is a period of hell and incredible expense.
Also consider your money. Start a dirt account. If your wife makes good money that makes life easier. I pay a McMansion with a Range Rover in child support because I rescue hooters chicks.
Your kids will be fine as long as you remain very active in their lives. Daily contact etc. I have mine at least 4 days a week. Divorce is common with kids and at school. They get it and adjust and with phones it’s nothing to maintain constant contact. They can thrive with or without married parents
I will say I’m happier today than I was in either relationship once the honeymoon period wore off. I’m also a little older now and tired and appreciative of my down time. From 18 to two years ago I was never without someone.
Lastly never leave before trying to fix it. The next one will have problems too
I don’t disagree, but the numbers don’t really add up. Like I said earlier, fed student loan are capped at $5,500 a year. We will do that but it’s a small piece of $31k. I want her to stay away from private loans.For them paying part of the cost? Well, the military is one very good option.

Buy a 911. Or a smoker and make competition quality brisket. We’re all a bit boredYea I was more interested in the waiting it out part. Not much fighting, I’m just a bit bored. But I spend too much time at work and with you guys, so the idea of making a change doesn’t make sense to me.
If $5,500 is the max, how do people get these supposed huge loan debts that are being forgiven??I don’t disagree, but the numbers don’t really add up. Like I said earlier, fed student loan are capped at $5,500 a year. We will do that but it’s a small piece of $31k. I want her to stay away from private loans.
She will have a work study job, but the reality is that will be spending money and not be a big enough nut to impact the cost. Ditto on summer jobs. Sure I can tell her $2k goes to college but it’s a drop in the bucket.
The problem is the cost, not who pays for it.
Yeah, you should open a fast food restaurant and try that.....It was where I lived and everyone made bank. I can't help idiot owners that don't put themselves in their employees shoes. No offense, just saying. I would do the same in a fast food restaurant. That bag better be out the window when that customer pulls up and pump up the volume.

When Clinton got elected, we were well down the road of deficit spending. With the help of another Boomer, Newt Gingrich, the budget deficit was under control, but we still had a then-sizeable national debt. Reagan wasn't a Boomer and deficit spending started in earnest under him. A big part of that was government obligations from past legislation, but the Defense budget also grew.@JamieDimonsBalls frustration is that the boomer generation came into political power when Clinton was elected.
We were coming out of the Cold War. There was never a time in modern human history that compared with the US superiority of that period. We were a true hyperpower and everyone else was very far behind. It was one hell of decade to live in.
Alan Greenspan famously testified to Congress that we were on track to pay off all our debt, in its entirety.
Then the boomers drug us off into foreign wars that did zero to increase our national security. All while cutting taxes and driving us $30T into debt within a matter of 23 years. An amazing achievement.
But the boomers kept asset prices elevated. Now elevated to an extreme degree that has made the country into a bunch of have and have nots.
I have nothing to complain about as I have boomer parents and in laws that are haves... And going to likely leave a nut big enough I should quit working now and become a ski bum. But I'm not wired that way. I pretend it doesn't exist.
