 I admit that I feel hesitant to post this student loan statistic article to my linked in account. However, I am keeping this article as a reminder on why I must consider going back to school while working full-time if I want to repay my own student loans by the year 2035 or sooner (even if all I do is just take just one class a semester in order to be able to continue to have plenty of time to  work full-time and juggle other vital areas of my life).

 I found the advice on having a paid off house  to facilitate aging in place very helpful.

I see the good in what this woman is doing. However, I know for sure that I would have to bypass Whole Foods and aim for Aldi's or one of the Giant Grocery stores near where I live for such an austere budget. However, sticking to such a strict budget long-term is definitely something I must stay away from guaranteeing because my husband and I at times like to go to such places as Costco.

I have been increasingly listening to some songs by Led Zeppelin via iheartradio since around late summer 2015/early autumn 2015. Fortunately, I can listen to Coda through my Amazon prime music account for free so naturally I will give it a listen through there first within the next 24 hours or less.

There are multiple actors and actresses that have contributed to why the Harry Potter films are brilliant. However,I confess that Alan Rickman was one of the significant reasons why I tuned in to some of the final Harry Potter movies (he really gets into the role of the Professor to the point where he actually takes on the Professor/teacher archetype in the role of Severus Snape).

I agree that both of Maisie William's outfit and her boots are well put together. I like the style of the boots that she is wearing and I wonder if they are available in a flatter size, minus the high heel (due to the fact that my lifestyle involves wearing some shoes that can weather a great deal of walking).

Congrats to Natalie Galyon. I'm about to walk 6 miles in less than 25 minutes from now and ideally by 1045 pm or sooner in my time zone(in addition to the 6 miles that I fortunately have completed earlier today) and it is great to see inspirational weight loss stories of people who  lost weight via walking. I say this there are sometimes time andor budget constraints that influence a person's options on if using a gym regularly can fit into their schedule andor budget. However, I have fortunately found walking to help boost my mood levels, increase my creativity, and to help in my weight loss goals. I'm very glad and elated to have come across a story of another woman who has achieved massive weight loss with consistent walking.

I used to be what some would term a "Walmartian" because of being previously employed there for 2 years and a significant part of my paycheck often went to buy various items from there. I understand that I must also show respect to some of my former coworkers from that job who took the time to surprise me with a Christmas card in December 2016 even though December 2015 was the end of my employment at Walmart. I appreciate the Christmas Card sent to me in December 2016, but I'm content with my current employer (University of Maryland College Park food services) and I look forward to continuing to be employed with UMD food services this coming Monday. Fortunately, I have a better job with improved working conditions at the University of Maryland College Park that I have been happily employed at since August 2016. Still, I have some good reasons for only sharing this Walmart lawsuit link on my tumblr and googleplus account, yet I am aware that anyone else looking at this link is well within their right to facebook, linkedin, andor twitter such a link.

 I think it is a positive thing that Malia Obama is already going after what she wants right away after finishing high school. I truly only fleshed out what I wanted to do around at a much later time in my life and I definitely would have made up my mind much sooner if I could do certain things over again (while still being able to stay married to my amazing husband). However, fortunately things are looking up and I'm confident that I'm sailing towards a bright future. I'm sure Malia Obama will be able to successfully parlay the Harvey Weinstein internship into a long-term career progression. Maybe she will be able to marry the internship (marketing andor development) into the education plans that she has started for her freshman year in college. There is nothing wrong with her using her status to propel herself towards a prestigious career path. Most people would do so if given the chance to be in her shoes. I'm fortunate to have a great job with good working conditions and stable working hours. However, even before being blessed with my current job, I noticed that a multiple number of both private sector and government job applications would ask if you have a friend or family employed at the job (for obvious reasons). To not take advantage of having an inside connection to get a job/obtain employment that would be a smoother path towards a bright future would be crazy andor madness

I understand that this article symbolizes the grace and good sportsmanship of the Presidents (Bill Clinton and George Bush) wishing their successors well and offering their support (the letters sent to George Bush and Barack Obama). However, regardless of whether Donald Trump serves until 2020 or 2024. As a proud American born woman,I hope that Donald Trump does become a President for all the people residing in America as he said that he is aiming to do. However, I admit to needing at least one week from today to completely get use to the reality of a Donald Trump presidency.

this Walt Disney World link came up on one of the websites I was on, apparently packages 
start at around 987 dollars for what looks to be a 3 day and two night deal but I personally would doublecheck to make sure that this deal does not involve a timeshare. From personal experience that my husband and I learned the hard way, avoid purchasing a timeshare unless you are willing to only part with it by giving it away because a timeshare is very hard to sell back (you cannot easily sell back a timeshare like you could at least with at least being able to sell back a  car).

2017 Golden Globe Winners’ Net Worths


The author was generous in sharing her money lessons but as far as I know, my younger sister Samantha is the only person who is going to get any money from my adoptive father when he dies. In her defense, she seemed kind of embarassed about it to the point where she tried to deny it to me. However, I know better that she is going to be his financial beneficiary because he (my adoptive father) admitted to me that he already prepared for his death by making final plans to his will and he sort of got quiet when I made it clear (before my visit October 2016) that I was only visiting him as a last chance situation out of respect for him voluntarily choosing to be my adoptive father in this lifetime when he did not have to. He seemed to feel better when I expressed understanding on why Samantha would be the main financial beneficiary to his will. However, my adoptive father frequently asks me if I have spoke to the Department of Veterans Affairs to see if I qualify for extra money as a female military veteran because he seems to feel a little concerned for me at times. I just wish that Samantha felt safe to admit to me about her being set to inherit money instead of denying it to me without taking into account that I would still love her and I would eventually find out anyhow sooner rather than later. What this has to do with how I interpret money articles such as this one is that I already know that I must eventually reside in a state that is independent from my adoptive family members, my biological family members, and even my husband's side of the family. I understand that there are very justified reasons why I am not due to receive any inheritances financial wise from neither my side of the family or my husband's. I'm very grateful that my mother in law treats me as her own daughter but I understand that there are justifiable reasons why only my husband Rusty and his brother Chris and maybe Chris's children would be the only ones who would inherit anything if she died before her time. I'm well aware that as a woman,  that there are people who are always going to scrutinize me to see if my own money situation relates to why I stay married to my husband instead of understanding that my husband and I have both stood by each other through both challenging and good times (there have been times where I have made more money than my husband and I have stayed married to him and vice versa).  Fortunately, I have a chance to prove to myself more than my critics that I can be a better financial provider for my husband and I and eventually purchase a house by the year 2025 after I relocate to Norfolk Virginia. However, I prefer to avoid listing the date when I intend to do so because I need to speak to a psychic in February or March 2017 about the best timeframe for me to do so. Additionally, I work with some reasonable and fair managers and I know that I must pick a timeframe where I would give at the minimum a 2-3 week notice before leaving my current job to relocate to Norfolk, Virginia. For obvious reasons, this discussion is only going to be on my googleplus blog and some of my tumblr accounts. The author's advice about a Sep IRA is very helpful and I intend to be wiser with saving more of my money in 2017 versus paying down my student debt. The reason being; It is more realistic for me on my income to aim to increase my savings to build up a financial necessities fund rather than concern myself with trying to repay my student loans early (I plan to live to be 85 years old yet I understand that how long I live is not guaranteed even with the blessing of my good physical health). My point being; If I ever got a surprise windfall like this author did, I would pad my 6 month living expenses account with little concern as to what my critics think about how long I choose to make only minimum payments on student loans. However, I would definitely want to use some of that money (7-8 thousand dollars of a windfall) to purchase a car. The reason being: I noticed that more employment options and promotions sometimes are more likely to go to someone who has a car. I was even turned down for a Walt Disney World vacation planner job back in December 2009 because I did not have a car. The job interviewer's rationale; I had the perfect personality for the job and even the resume but a car was necessary for the vacation planner job I was trying for. Fast forward even in the Washington D.C. area, having a car can affect employment options. In autumn of 2013 a Veteran's rep wanted to help me get hired for a job opportunity tailored for military veterans such as myself that would help me earn at least close to the income I had back in 2009 when I left the military as an E-5 making at least three thousand a month after taxes. The caveat on why I had to eventually find other employment which eventually led me to Walmart; I had a Maryland Driver's license but no car and this was necessary for the lucrative job opportunity that was set aside for military veterans such as myself. Fortunately, I still do have a Driver's License and intend to have a Driver's License for life more likely my next one is going to be either Maryland or Virginia). I am determined to legally obtain a paid for car by June 2019 or sooner whether that takes place in Maryland or Virginia.

Kellyanne Conway’s Inauguration Style: The Internet Has Strong Feelings

As an American born Hillary Clinton supporter I know that I have to come around to accepting Donald Trump as President. However, I have a strong positive feeling that the American public has not seen the last of Hillary Clinton. There are many other ways she can have a tremendous impact even without her being President and multiple options for her to be politically powerful behind the scenes andor even advising whoever was to run on the Democratic ticket in 2020.

My husband and I are in great physical health so fortunately we would be shielded from Trump doing this. However, I have family members from my late adoptive mother's side where some of them might have been Trump supporters and have children that would be affected by this policy. I would rather avoid drama by posting this link on facebook. However, if the Washington Post is correct about what may happen, then this might tragically prove that Donald Trump's measures would affect the middle and poor classes the most. Please know that I see nothing wrong with having great wealth and I understand that the President still has to take into account many of the wealthy people that helped him get elected. However, one of the reasons why I voted for Hillary Clinton is because of my sense that she would care about the rich, poor and middle classes regardless of their race andor where they live. If the Washington Post turns out correct, Trump getting his way with the measure would hurt the poor and middle class people the most who supported him.

songs for me to keep in mind today: Ronan Keating When You Say Nothing At All, Jason Aldean Burnin it Down, Life is a Rollercoaster by Ronan Keating, Lovin Each Day by Ronan Keating

January 25, 2017

From both the photo and the article, Emma Walker seemed to be a person who enjoyed her life and touched the lives of others around her. I want to stay away from talking about race in this article because the fact of the matter is that this article highlights another tragic story of a woman who lost her life because her former boyfriend (William Riley Gaul)felt that no one else could have her if he can't (an all too tragic story that is known to have been perpetuated through various socio-economic  classes and races). The fact that Emma Walker's killer quoted the bible after killing her just adds an even deeper tragic and chilling element to information that Emma Walker's family and friends will probably be subjected to.

I'm blessed to have a happier work life and a caring husband. However, I'm keeping this link as a reminder to myself that my weight loss goals should not be tied to revenge but ideally as a way to prove to myself that I can lose weight when I truly put my mind and best efforts/actions towards it
regardless of how many other people believe in my weight loss success. However, having supporters
and cheerleaders is always welcomed and I know that I should not deny that.

If Jon Hamm of Mad Men is in the Marjorie Prime movie, then I am going to keep an open mind when it comes to eventually checking out the film.  Hamm has a certain charismatic allure and self-confident public persona that is tricky to put in words.

The music soundtrack to the 2015 Fifty Shades of Grey was actually pretty good. Naturally, this influences me to consider eventually obtaining the 2017 Fifty Shades Darker music soundtrack. The Taylor Swift and Zayn collaboration will probably make for a steamy collaboration.

I'm keeping this link as consideration for multiple reasons. One reason I admit to disclosing is the fact that this article has supply chain manager which is a job common across industries (healthcare,education, food etc). It is a competitive job to get in the civilian world that also has a counterpart job in the military (navy, airforce, army etc).

Even I understand that all of these tips are good advice. However, the piece I would definitely agree on  and would tell my twenty year old self about is the nest egg issue from Sara Blakeley. This is due to the obvious reason that having a comfortable nest egg provides better protection to pay for the necessities of life as well as to more easily/better transform life's curveballs to improved opportunites.

Trump has a plan — a pretty good one — for tackling student debt

I understand that the author means well with this article yet I wonder if she has ever worked for Walmart or is just coming from a well meaning place of generating positive press (public relations for Walmart). I say this because from my personal experience, compared to the private sector
employers affiliated with University of Maryland and Walmart, I'm happier being employed with University of Maryland College Park (more stable working hours and days off, more reasonable working conditions, my managers at my current job are more fair with the rules and regulations). I hope and pray, and I intend to do my best to where I get to keep my current job at the University of Maryland College Park during the remaining time that I would reside in the Washington D.C. area. However, if I was ever let go from my current job (while still residing in the Washington DC area) at the University of Maryland College Park and I had to choose between Walmart or going back to the University of Maryland College Park I would definitely try to wait it out to return back to the University of Maryland College Park or get another school related job. If the University or schools were not yet hiring and I needed money right away then I would definitely apply for employment at a rival for Walmart such as Target, one of the grocery stores (Giant, Whole Foods, Food Lion, Costco, Farmers Fresh, Aldis etc regardless of what other people thought of my decision to do so.

realtor link

With this realtor link, I must make it clear that I plan on staying at my current employer of the University of Maryland College Park for as long as they would allow me during my time of residing in the Washington D.C. area and I would only leave when it came time for me to completely relocate outside of the Washington D.C. area. However, I am keeping publicly mum on the timeline because my husband may more likely want to stay residing in the Washington D.C. area and I want to consider his preferences as well as the fact that I must make it clear that my plans to relocate have little to do with the way I feel about my employment here. Additionally, I need to talk to at least 2 people I trust outside of the family or friend circle of my husband and I before finalizing a date. This is especially because I understand that I would need to give my current employer at least a three week notice and because part of me wants to truthfully keep the door open for me to be employed at my current job for the rest of this year. This is especially because I would prefer to complete my whole contract of employment at my current job before relocating (i.e. completing my full spring contract term, completing my full autumn contract term etc.). All  I do know for sure is that would need to give myself a deadline of taking action by 2019/2020 at the latest while still allowing myself enough time to take my husband into account, practical issues related to my current employment etc. (if I want to live in an area where I have a better chance of purchasing a house for my husband and I). Once again, my decision and pondering has little to do with my current employment especially because I do have reasonable and fair managers, in addition to the fact that I'm fortunately generating more income than I originally planned. The truth is that I have been thinking about relocating to the Norfolk Virginia area since 2013 for reasons not related to my employment status here but more for other reasons (such as the greater abundance of affordable houses in the Norfolk Virginia area, lower cost of living, a strong economy comparable to the Washington D.C. area because of the presence of active duty military, a close enough proximity to the Washington D.C. area for me to still visit up here at least three times a year and more often if my husband stays up here other reasons etc.). I eerily saw this link in my yahoo email inbox this morning around the time that I was dreaming/fantasizing about eventually purchasing a paid for home 
for my husband and I.

I'm just now getting use to accepting the reality of President Trump and I do believe that Kellyane Conway meant it when she apologized for her black stretch pants women remark. Conway might not
have initially realized that there are some women who probably also had practical reasons for
wearing black stretch pants (i.e. something related to what was most comfortable on their bodies,
a woman taking public transportation in the wintertime even if she is already skinny may opt to wear
certain types of pants for issues relating to wanting to keep warm etc.)
