Been thinking about your replies, and spent an hour fiddling with my personal financial spreadsheet. I think I'll save defaulting as a last resort for my personal situation. So minimum monthly payments are: Medical loan, $132. Credit card debt: $70. Student loan: $80. Both the credit card and...

Disclaimer: I haven't been on the road at all yet. OP, I relate because I had a dumbphone til I was about 25, by choice. Indestructible was right, and couldn't beat that battery life. Plus, most importantly, not being glued to the screen all the time. Finally caved and got a smartphone. It...

Naw no cosigners, my mom refuses because she watched what happened to my grandma after my uncle defaulted on his loans with my grandma as the cosigner. I don't fault my mom for that; it's a wise policy. Idk. I've def. considered defaulting on them. It's just hard cause like, I've worked so hard...

Thank you! I do like the idea of natural cause it's the way I (mostly) try to eat as well. I like knowing exactly what it is that's going into my body. I used to do spice back in the military cause it couldn't be tested...But recently I've been hearing of people getting seriously fucked up by...

Indeed; I will never feel truly free until I no longer owe someone money that I don't have. Good luck paying off your debt as well, and thank you!

I'm someone who has never done hard drugs but a couple soft ones and I love trying things at least once. But I sure don't want to OD or get hooked to anything that is dangerous. For myself and people like me, who don't know that much about drugs but want to try some just once or twice, which...

How about environmentalism? There's a ton of evidence that agriculture, especially the beef industry, is wrecking the planet in the name of animal consumption. My sister is a hardcore vegan activist; I think very highly of her and her ambition. While I don't feel that animal consumption is...

The only things bitter I like are chocolate and garlic. Not sure what the attraction to beer is lol. Sweet iced tea always feels like way too much effort to make (boo hot tea), but I'll sit there and spend the five minutes necessary to make myself a homemade sweet iced coffee, lol. But of the...

I have Borderline Personality Disorder and didn't know it until a year ago. So I abused my ex husband for years in a lot of ways that I shouldn't have. Yes he had a lot of faults, but the justification I felt in blowing up on him and taunting him was absolutely wrong. But aside from all that...

I didn't even think about temp effects on meds on the road. I'll havta look up if T is the same way; probably best to take the same precautions anyway just in case. I know the thread and replies are geared towards the ladies but they're helping me as well, so thank you everyone who's contributing

Is there any way to change your prescription pick-up site? I'm ftm, haven't hit the road yet but plan to. Right now my doc gave me a 6-month supply script (sweetness!!). I've moved a few times across the city and have changed my pharmacy pick-site each time. They're pretty cool with it--I just...

Indeed--maybe there's a middle ground somewhere that could satisfy both desires for you, OP?

Agreed. While having responsibilities is much more difficult than having no responsibilities, I believe it is still entirely possible--where there's a will, there's a way.

Well, sorta; student loan is $9k at 9%, got a $3k credit card debt at 19%, and then a $3k medical loan which is actually at 0% introductory but will be 27%. So I'm inching down currently but once the medical loan interest hits, I'm screwed.

Thank you! Yes, it seems just really pointless to continue adding myself as a cog in the machine. Society will survive without me, I'm sure of it. Lol.

Thank you! :)

Thank you, that's quite a high honor!! :) Unfortunately the interest on each of my loans means minimum payments aren't actually paying anything off ::sour:: The gigs I'm doing now should help me pay them off pretty quickly, now that I've finally realized my "normal" job just isn't gonna work.

I've done the whole "normal" thing. I've owned a home, had too many cars to count, had a husband and children, a contractual well-paying job, have a degree, with the mountain of debt that comes with it. You know what the scary thing about all that is? You don't know the meaning of trapped til...

@Koala I'd love to try train hopping at some point but the plan is to start off mostly walking/hitching. Someday I'd like to travel the world but initially I want to travel the U.S. and maybe Mexico. I've travelled by car along the whole eastern, southern, midwestern, and western parts of the...

Hello! I'm zielum (zigh-lum). This intro is more of a story, so I hope you'll bear with me. In the middle of 11th in high school, about 10 years ago, I was experiencing an existential crisis. My whole life to that point had been about making my parents proud through academic achievement. It was...

I agree; your writing style is great! Love the story and hope to read more from you :)
