I absolutely agree. Where there's a will, there's a way. I think some struggle with the opportunity costs, when things are hand-to-mouth. Time spent in...

I'm taking the other side of the question to be, "do conservative families and individuals generally not seek higher education?"

...

[ua_guy]

I think liberally-minded families and individuals are more likely to seek higher education. I think it's understood that rather than a time of indoctrination,...

I think what it does is free the necessity of living within that expensive commute boundary of a large city for employment- for many types of jobs, not...

[ua_guy]

This is an aging concept though. A 2+ hour commute (one way!) to work in a big city is nothing anymore. People who do that are competing with the other...

Singuy, your username along with this response gave me a chuckle. This is, arguably, the other side of the debate. I am not religious nor do I believe...

I could write volumes about my observations...here's my $0.02 summarized. Prices skyrocket around job centers. Home prices in the area outpace everything...

We were worried the state still wouldn't be able to process in time if we waited until July. Everything got sent in and we received confirmation of acceptance...

The one caveat would be for an international student, Discover definitely isn't as accepted internationally. Visa/MC are, however.

But you...

I'd think a secured card would be the way to go (probably the only option to start). Most banks offer them for credit-beginners. I don't think I'd go...

Most companies have exclusions and limits on their trial periods that you agree to in their Terms of Service or End User License Agreements; When you...

I'm not super-well versed in car leases, but buying a lease early would really depend on the residual value that Honda Credit would let you buy it for....

[ua_guy]

That makes perfect sense, but would you agree that higher immediate risk while dining could be as risky as lower-risk prolonged exposure. One might be...

[ua_guy]

There are a lot of "what if's". Right now I might feel comfortable if I test positive for antibodies, confirming that I already had it, and...
