I left at about average. I had 38k after graduation. There are many payment options to lower your monthly bill and you can always pay above the bill amount.
I don't know a single person who ended up with a $1k a month student loan payment and they've all graduated or attended college in the past decade.

Please move somewhere. I’m getting tired of having to explain to my kids why so many people can’t get through the day without mind altering substances.

Have you compared it to your oil use. I always assumed the point of electric heat pump was to cut down on oil.

You mean boilers don't solely run on electricity?

Word is that a few of the stores that pay their own utilities will remain open (Harbor Freight, Dollar Tree, maybe a few others).
While there's only a handful of stores and businesses in there it's still quite a few jobs being lost relative to the population of the area. Hopefully it's short term, but it doesn't seem like the owner has a good track record.

Right, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a cannabis shop here.

I'm gonna be spending some time up there in a few months, if you know of anyone or anywhere to send me to for some networking that would be greatly appreciated.
I might not know anyone there but everyone tells me my stuff is better than the dispensaries here. 💪🏼👍🏼

Right, but the general manager doesn't pay utilities? The company does. An employee of a company should never be paying for utility expenses out of their own pocket unless the company is their company. That's not how jobs work.

I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted, but I anecdotally see a lot of dog attacks come down to a few things, breed aside:
A. Unfamiliar dogs/people
B. Entitled or careless owners
C. Lack of respect for/infantilizing dogs
D. Lack of training/management/boundaries
E. Indiscriminate dog breeding/unknown lineage
F. Suppression or lack of follow through on non-human attacks (or dog is so small it doesn’t cause the same level of damage but is still a menace)
This situation should have never happened, regardless of breed because one should not leave kids alone/unsupervised with unfamiliar dogs! Heck, even if one knows the dog, one should think very carefully about leaving children unattended. Dogs are dogs no matter how cute and fuzzy they are. The best way to make sure a situation doesn’t happen is to avoid setting up an environment where it can happen.
And as much as it is sad, I do think there are some dogs that just aren’t “right” and they do need to be put down. Fair to the dog? No. But odds are that dog shouldn’t have been made in the first place. But I think if the things I listed were addressed, we’d have much fewer attacks in general.

Where do you live in Maine? That could explain a lot here. We didn't have a choice of medical insurance plan so we have what we have. That's something else that is the norm.
The gaslighting comment isn't implying you're lying about finances, it's about you dismissing what is very clearly the norm as if it isn't the norm.

The harsh reality is that this dude probably won't have a job if the Mall's utilities aren't paid. It doesn't matter how embarrassed or sorry he is.

You can just admit you don't understand how malls work and not contribute to the conversation. It's not hard.

In my opinion the market is over saturated as is right now. I can think of atleast a dozen dispensers within 15 miles from me, and that's just the ones I've seen.

I know, smart phones, computers, televisions, they’re turning so many children into zombies. It’s insane how many I see stuck to a tablet. Something really needs to be done.
