Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans (www.cbsnews.com)

President Biden announced Friday that his administration is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 borrowers, marking the latest round of debt cancellation since the Supreme Court voided the president’s student loan forgiveness program....

Save plan lowered my effective interest rate to around 2%. I’ll still have to pay a lot over the next 20 years, and if the tax bomb is not removed it will be another 100,000. However my cash flow is much improved and how much I pay total has decreased drastically.

Still fighting with my student loan servicer to set me up on the plan correctly, but that is a different can of worms. The servicers need to have their contracts nullified for how terrible they have been.

Stimulant medications have been around for a long time. ADHD patients that are untreated have a higher risk of developing a substance abuse problem. ADHD patients taking stimulants have a risk of substance abuse that is on par with the rest of the population. Prescription stimulants generally have low risk of abuse. I’m an addiction researcher.

Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal (apnews.com)

The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck....

It’s not free borrowed money but I’m sure someone with poor financial literacy may see it that way (which is like the majority of young people). If you over drafted $30 it is a 10% fee, and that’s every time you run your card buying something. It’s a fee you will pay with your future potential wealth.

My parents removed overdraft from my account after my sister overdrafted her card all the time in HS. It should not be on by default and it should be legally mandated that you have to sign a waiver understanding that overdraft is a shitty fee designed to keep you from ever building wealth or savings.

This is nothing but a distraction from lecterngate. Sarah Huckabee Sanders used taxpayer funds to pay for a personal trip, then had the Republican party expense a $20k podium from a company that has never sold a podium before to try to hide the embezzlement.

I get your point but choosing Chinese phones as a trust example is hilarious. Every Chinese phone has a backdoor straight to China.

Average is the mean, not median or mode. This doesn’t change on context. Average is always mean.

It would almost certainly follow an approximate normal distribution just like the above graph. Why would it look different?

I’ve raced motocross and also raced woods events and also do a lot of other off road riding on quads and UTVs. As the guy before me said, CC size isn’t always going to directly reflect power. A crf450L has a 450 race bike engine and has much much more power than say a DRZ 400. I would suggest going with a CRF 300L. It will have enough power to handle almost all trails outside of steep steep inclines. It’s a great bike and doesn’t require much maintenance and is relatively inexpensive. Also couldn’t go wrong with the DRZ 400 but I think it might be a little heavier and slightly less capable. When riding off road, too much power is often a hindrance rather than help. You can often go faster in the woods on a 250 race bike compared to a 450 because it is lighter and you are not having to fight the power output of the bike as much. A 250 4-stroke or 125 2-stroke bike would be a good option for starting as well, but they aren’t typically set up for registering for road riding.

Good luck if you decide to get a bike. Take it slow at first, off road riding is much harder than road riding and there are a lot of lessons to learn that are best not learned the hard way. ATGATT
