    why not have your kid get student loans to pay for the text book like I did. That way when they graduate college and get a job on mturk, they can pay it back.

    wow... i missed the age of the child. I thought that since they were paying for a textbook, they were in college.

    I doubt it considering your name is nonbinding until you are 18.

    Breaking mturk's rules are one thing and we can't allow that as requesters read this forum but I talk pretty damn openly about pirating anime and movies etc. I almost always pay for video games as steam is better than pirating but :dunno:

    Kid just saw how much sales tax he has to pay for the Switch. He's learning a lot today.

    (He's buying his own Switch. Mama don't pay for video gamey type stuff. I'll get ripped off on college textbooks, but nope...not paying for video games. However, he makes his own money to pay for them so this has been a good parenting strategy. I just saw a report on tee vee that my kid has more in a bank savings account at age 14 than 50% of American adults have.)

    One of the reasons I was an RA, was that sweet, free meal plan, the cheap housing, and the discount at the book store :emoji_joy:

    I had 0 urge to actually be an RA, but had to pay for everything somehow! Plus, everyone had to live under Birb law:emoji_imp:

    I see you got caught up, lol.

    Kid probably won't need student loans if things work out correctly. However, I'm 50 and STILL paying mine back, so I'm not opposed to them.

    But yeah, he's a high school Freshman enrolling in college summer semester so we don't actually qualify for loans yet, lol.

    I was just talking yesterday about savings, and how one of my larger regrets in life is that I didn't save 10-20% of every dollar that I made since I was younger. A Nintendo sounds like a good self-reward for good habits.

    College students: worst case: buy book, go to computer lab and print book, return book.

    The only type of loans to people under age 18 that don’t require a co-signer are federal student loans, as these are exempt from the legal defense of infancy. Source: https://pocketsense.com/loan-under-18-10538.html

    I can't believe your kid is so grown up that we are talking about college textbooks! How long have we been here? since 1987?
