My Lolla 2017: Dylan Peterson A Capitalist Idea

I have never bought a ticket to Lollapalooza. Most years, I go with a press pass. One time I went because some artist friends' band played on Friday and they gave me their wristbands to use for the rest of the weekend. That was sick. I remember drinking free champagne in the artist lounge with some friends, taking the golf carts up and down the grueling length of Grant Park to bounce between The Flaming Lips and Kanye West. It was the best year. Not only because of the lineup, but the thrill of pulling a fast one when you're nineteen years old… there's really nothing else like it. I imagine it's not unlike the endorphin rush of fence-jumping (which I haven't attempted yet). Still, despite me, Lollapalooza sells out almost immediately every year. Last year, Forbes reported that the festival brings in more than twenty-million dollars in revenue. Lollapalooza makes a lot of money. And 2017 will be no different.
Michael Blume
I've never listened to the music of Michael Blume, but he's playing at the BMI Stage. In 2016, BMI posted a short article on BMI.com commemorating their eleventh year as a stage sponsor at Lollapalooza, in which they highlighted Chance The Rapper, Lady Gaga and Halsey as past performers, three artists who went on to become very popular. Some of the other names that have graced the BMI stage over the years include Unified Highway, LANco, Polly A, AudioDamn!, Black Pistol Fire, SirenXX, Dugas, Rocky Business, Crass Mammoth, Beast Patrol, Nightmare and the Cat, Red Oblivion, Laura Warshauer, Sam Adams and Black Cards, and nobody has heard of any of these artists. According to their "About" page, BMI is a "global leader in music rights management… representing nearly twelve-million musical works created and owned by nearly 750,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers." That's a lot of songwriters, composers and music publishers. But three of them were Chance The Rapper, Lady Gaga and Halsey. There is not an ASCAP stage at Lollapalooza, but ASCAP only licenses around ten-million songs and represents closer to 600,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers.
Mura Masa
4pm-4:45pm
Mura Masa is an electronic producer from the UK. Pepsi is a brand of cola, and is most recently remembered for its controversial television commercial starring Kendall Jenner, a millennial superstar with more than twenty-two million Twitter followers. The ad received backlash for its tone-deaf message that a cola could pacify ideological conflict between protestors and law enforcement. As of this writing, the stock price of PEP is $115.74. In December of 2014 the Chicago Tribune reported that PepsiCo cut jobs in its Chicago office, the site of the North America Nutrition division. Webster's definition of "nutritious" is "having substances that a person or animal needs to be healthy and grow properly: promoting good health and growth;" Pepsi is not nutritious. The FDA has not set age restrictions on Pepsi; any child may purchase and consume it. Approximately 400,000 people of all ages will attend Lollapalooza in 2017, which is great for Pepsi.
Alvvays
Sometimes some pretty good bands play Lollapalooza—like Alvvays, who will be performing at the Bud Light stage, the largest sponsored stage at the fest. The former title-holder belonged to Samsung Galaxy, but that south-end stage is now the Grant Park Stage. What happened to Samsung, you ask? That question, and the brand's mysterious disappearance, is sure to be the talk of the fest all weekend. In addition to the sponsored stages at Lollapalooza, other official sponsors include Toyota, Citi, State Farm, Chipotle, Cupcake Vineyards, Lifeway Kefir, Maestro Dobel Tequila, Salesforce, Uber, Hendrick's Gin, New Era, Jack Daniel's, Twix, FYE, Camelbak, Godiva, Recycled Paper Greetings, Topo Chico, Vita Coco, Lululemon, Epiphone and Aviator Nation. Who knows why Samsung Galaxy isn't at Lollapalooza anymore, but I'm confident that Bud Light will rise to the occasion this year. The battle between most popular product at Lolla has always been alcohol versus cell phone, and it's now clearer than ever who the winner is. Don't be surprised if we see fewer selfies this year in lieu of more relinquished drinking.
Tito's Handmade Vodka
The rookie of the year at Lollapalooza will undoubtedly be Tito's Handmade Vodka, the stage where nineteen-year-old Lil Yachty will make his Chicago festival debut. Last year the Chicago Sun-Times reported that over a hundred teenagers were sent to Chicago hospitals due to alcohol-related emergencies at Lollapalooza in 2015. Lurie researchers found that the largest uptick of teens in emergency rooms occurred during Lollapalooza the year prior as well. To purchase alcohol in the US, a person must be twenty-one or older. Tito's Handmade Vodka contains forty percent alcohol by volume. Compare that to Bud Light, the only other stage at Lollapalooza sponsored by an alcoholic beverage, which has nearly a tenth the amount at 4.2 percent—it's clear which stage boasts the stronger drink. If teens thought that Bud Light was cool just because it had the largest stage, wait until they get a load of Lil Yachty at Tito's Handmade Vodka stage! This combination of teenagers and alcohol does beg the question though: will Lil Yachty be one of the teens sent to a Chicago E.R. this year? Or will he merely perform for thousands of teens at a stage sponsored by a potent alcohol? Both are possibilities, but either way, the biggest star of the weekend will be capitalism.

Once an "It" Band, Still an Influencer: The Strokes Get It Done During a Tight Lolla Set Julian Casablancas has an inimitable voice that has not so much aged well as not aged at all, and Hammond's guitar work remains glorious.

I try to be creative with my blog titles so to lure you in, but I couldn't really think of anything that could relay our success more then the obvious; WE DID IT! By 1pm CST, the 20th Shelter Canada house was complete by the Novacom team. There may have been a some hootin' and hollerin' from the bushes once the last screw went in, but by now, the locals are used to our rambunctiousness. Nothing feels quite as sweet as reaching a lofty goal, and we were all feeling higher than a kite.
While the boys finished the remaining homes this morning, Wes and I went into Sensuntepeque to buy the supplies required for the house warming gift baskets that every home receives. I'm a girl, of course I volunteered to go shopping and help put the baskets together! After our daily ritual lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches washed down with a bottle of Gatorade, we made our way to the Palomar community centre where we were met by all 20 families that we had changed the lives of. It was a full house and the room was electric with excitement by everyone (albeit, probably in the most stagnant and hottest room in the world).
Every member of the team had the opportunity to personally present the keys, a Bible, a basket of household necessities, and in true Novacom tradition, also offered words of affirmation and encouragement to the family. But in true Salvadorian tradition, it was us that were offered the gratitude and blessings.
No celebration is complete without a piñata or two, so that's what we did! Nothing is as fun as watching kids beat a paper mache doll stuffed with candy, and some were even generous enough to offer some candy to us too (that's tough for a kid to do!).
After our sad but joyful goodbyes with our new friends, we found ourselves at the bank of the Rio Lempa, the river that divides El Salvador and Honduras. And what good is a river if you can't jump in, clean off after a hot and dirty day and swim to another country? So that's what we did, except Paul and Luke may have also walked on water. The evening was capped off with a well-deserved meal of famous Pollo Campero and a little free time to goof around.
Here are some quick stats to share with you.
Up until now, I have held off formally introducing the team, mainly because I wanted to see how everyone fitted in to this journey. So, without further adieu……….
Here are a few more photos from our last day….Saturday we'll be travelling and won't be posting, but more updates are coming soon!


Linked to the relationship between the word of God and culture is the need for a careful and intelligent use of the communications media, both old and new. The Synod Fathers called for a proper knowledge of these media; they noted their rapid development and different levels of interaction, and asked for greater efforts to be made in gaining expertise in the various sectors involved, particularly in the new media, such as the internet. The Church already has a significant presence in the world of mass communications, and her magisterium has frequently intervened on the subject, beginning with the Second Vatican Council. Discovering new methods of transmitting the Gospel message is part of the continuing evangelizing outreach of those who believe. Communications today take place through a worldwide network, and thus give new meaning to Christ's words: "What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops" (Mt 10:27). God's word should resound not only in the print media, but in other forms of communication as well. For this reason, together with the Synod Fathers, I express gratitude to those Catholics who are making serious efforts to promote a significant presence in the world of the media, and I ask for an ever wider and more qualified commitment in this regard.
I struggled a lot with this paragraph, because the Pope has taken several different positions on the Internet over time. Even in his last major statement, I think that the Vatican expressed ambivalence.
The Holy See attracted controversy after it lifted the excommunication of Richard Williamson, the Holocaust-denying SSPX Bishop. When critics pointed out that a simple Google search should have revealed warning signs about Williamson, the Pope famously remarked, "In future at the Holy See, we must pay more attention to that source of news."
There has been considerable coverage in the Italian media over the Vatican's apparent cutting-and-pasting from Italian Wikipedia to provide biographies for 22 new Cardinals. As I try to understand how this could have happened, I have to come to the conclusion that even in the Vatican there is a difference among generations -- between younger people who are comfortable using the Internet and relying on Wikipedia -- and more senior scholars, including the Pope himself, who prefer to rely on more traditional sources of information.
My feeling is that the Vatican recognizes the need to be engaged in the internet, but still has yet to have the right people leading the charge. With that being said, the Vatican does a far superior job compared to the many American dioceses and their websites. The Vatican has a ton of info on its site and has a presence on Youtube.

brewed. history
We've been baking for as long as we can remember. Laura (mom) since the '50s, and Lisa (daughter) since the '70s. We are almost always asked to bring cookies to family gatherings and celebrations. We have tried making some doozies, like the time Laura attempted a sardine cookie with olive oil for her Italian mom. The goal was to get her mom to like sardines (thinking outside the box!). Needless to say, it didn't work, and neither of us has ever made another cookie with fish. Mostly, though, we make big and flavorful cookies that please so many. If they make it to the oven, that is, because who doesn't like to lick the gooey batter from the beaters. or dig in with a big spoon. And that's where our raw cookie dough was born! We are always experimenting with new combinations of dough and cookies, so you never know what you might find! Some of our best testers are our children and grandchildren.
Lisa is a mom to two of those little guys. While in high school and college, she worked as a barista and developed a long love of coffee. When she graduated with her degree in engineering and working for a local engineering firm, her coffee cup was never far from her reach. But her heart was with her children, so when the opportunity arose to build her own business with her mom and business partner Laura, she went for it. Lock, stock, and cookie. That was a great solution for Laura, too, since, after more than twenty years of helping people with developmental disabilities take charge and empower their own lives, it was time for Laura to do the same with hers. It was a match, and the timing was right.
So this is how brewed. was born. Out of love for family, coffee, cookies, and dough. There is no doubt that this could have never happened without the love and support of so many, but especially our family. Their astonishing belief in our vision and their hard work in helping to build something out of nothing will always hold a special kind of gratitude from us.

I wholeheartedly espouse those principles. Where do they come from? Not simply from a rational argument: rational arguments can be made for and against them and there is no proof. Some people appear to have no worth and dignity and I find good reasons every day for trashing the web of life for my personal gain (e.g., I don't bother to approve or even know where much of my food comes from). Those principles come from a collective process of spiritual intuition and exchange engaged in by a whole denomination drawing on centuries of uninterrupted spiritual practice and development. They are among the most important things I know in my life and I hold them in common with many other people. I have spent years in a community that cohered around them, and around the daily practices of learning to live them together. They are provisional, in the sense that the process of drawing in more people, more experience, more honest sharing of spiritual intuition, in response to historical developments, may lead the denomination to change the wording or add another principle. How these principles are enacted in daily life is also subject to trial and error, group learning, prayer, meditation, heart–to–heart exchanges, small group process, exchanges with outsiders, and so on. Thus we build our spiritual knowledge.
Rarely have I seen the importance of the Principles and Purposes presented so powerfully in a non-UU publication. It's rare to see them defended so well in a UU publication for that matter. Belden really gives voice to the way I'd like to see our Principles and Purposes used in our congregations!
I'm sitting in Terminal C of the Kansas City International Airport, waiting for my (just slightly) delayed flight back to the Twin Cities. Since KCI offers free wireless in its terminals (whoo-hoo!), I thought I'd take a moment to upload some photos I took this morning while visiting the UU Fellowship in Manhattan, Kansas. I've saved 3 photos from the Konza Prairie Scenic Overlook on K-177, just south of Manhattan. It's really quiet a view. And this morning was a perfect time to linger there on my way to the fellowship–sunny, breezy, not too warm. I have to confess that being able to spend time traveling was one of the original appeals of this job, and although I'm trying to keep my time away from the family to a manageable level, I still a pretty regularly thrilled by the differing landscapes I get to see as I roam the plains and prairie states of the district. The visit to the congregation was a success, too, and I'll blog more about that later.
So here's the plan for getting a majority of religious educators in Prairie Star participating in the Reducing the Risk program in general, and the Safety Award in Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in particular. The district has purchased 25 Reducing the Risk resource kits to distribute to PSD congregations at a considerable discount (the kits normally cost $50 plus shipping–PSD congregations can order them from the district for $25 plus $5 shipping). In addition to the kits themselves (a DVD set, a training manual, and reference book), the district will also pay the tuition for religious educators to take the online examination required to receive the Safety Award through the Institute of Church Safety.
Completing the program does take an investment of time (I spent most of Wednesday reading the online sessions, taking self-evaluation quizzes and comprehensive reviews, and completing the 25 question final examination). But it's an investment that's well worth it. And since I've already completed the program, I'm ready to assist any PSD religious educator in the program. So, for $30 total Prairie Star religious educators receive the RTR resource kit, are eligible to enroll in the online seminars of the Institute of Church Safety, and are free to take the final examination needed to received the Safety Award. Again, the goal is to have at least half of the religious educators in Prairie Star trained in this program. For more information, send me an e-mail or call me at (612) 230-3274.
It may not look like much, but it could be one of the most important documents a religious educator can have. It's the Safety Award in Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse from the Institute of Church Safety, an online training program from reducingtherisk.com.
Child sexual abuse can happen in any church regardless of size, location, or affiliation. In this four-lesson seminar, we examine the nature and impact of child abuse, the profile of molesters, why churches are vulnerable, and the legal theories used to prove liability.
This three-lesson seminar examines the unique vulnerability of churches to liability for acts of child sexual abuse. The first lesson highlights factors that make churches susceptible to incidents of child molestation. The second lesson looks at the current legal environment and reviews factors that contribute to church litigation. Lesson three examines the most common legal theories that are used to sue churches when child sexual molestation occurs within church settings.
To ward off potential molesters, and to ensure adequate legal safeguards that rise to the level of reasonable care, every church should implement an effective screening program. This five-lesson seminar starts by reviewing the profiles of child molesters, and then examines the screening process for clergy and paid employees, the use of criminal records checks and other background checks, and concludes with developing an effective screening program for volunteer workers.
This seminar begins by examining the profile of child sexual offenders. It then focuses on the problem of negligent supervision, and explains how key principles can be used to establish a basis for reasonable care. Attention is given to general versus specific supervision, and assessing levels of risk using the concepts of isolation, accountability, power, and activities. The seminar establishes five general principles of supervising children and youth to reduce the risk of child sexual molestation. At the conclusion of lesson 7 is a safety checklist that reviews the material for the entire seminar.
This two-lesson seminar reviews legal obligations church staff members may have to report child abuse, and how a church can develop a reporting procedure. Attention is given to understanding the differences between mandatory and permissive reporters, when a report must be made, factors to consider in making a report, and establishing a reporting procedure for church workers.
All churches and ministries need to focus on the prevention of child sexual abuse. Realistically no practical prevention strategy is 100 percent effective. An accusation of child sexual abuse may occur in any church. Churches need to develop a premeditated plan or strategy to respond to sexual abuse allegations. This seminar examines nine key issues that church leaders should consider in responding to an allegation of abuse.
Tomorrow I'll post more about Prairie Star's plan to have a majority of the religious educators in the district be recipients of the Safety Award.
I made a quick trip down to Cedar Rapids last Friday to meet with some of the religious educators there. Sherry Warren, our PSD Youth and Young Adult Specialist, happened to be in town for a Spirituality Development Training with the youth group from Peoples Church in Cedar Rapids, so she and Lori Allen (PSD Lifespan Faith Development program coordinator) and I were able to have a meeting before the, er, meeting. At any rate, it was great to see the folks in Iowa, and we had a good conversation about the future of Lifespan Faith Development in Prairie Star and in the UUA. I really enjoy getting together with religious educators around the district, so if you're a DRE in a PSD congregation and would like an excuse to gather some nearby DREs and youth adviser for a weekday meeting, let me know and let's see if we can arrange a visit!
Most of these meetings include having lunch at the local church staffs' favorite nearby restaurant. We decided to have ours at Phong Lan Vietnamese restaurant, which is just a couple of blocks from the church. I had the mixed vegetables–not bad. And thanks to Marlene Walker, interim minister at Peoples, for taking this picture of us.

[In the news] Groups, bloggers ask PNoy to veto cybercrime bill – InterAksyon.com

Groups, bloggers ask PNoy to veto cybercrime bill
J. M. Tuazon, InterAksyon.com
MANILA, Philippines — Various groups and Internet users have called on President Benigno Aquino III not to sign the proposed Cybercrime Prevention Act, saying that some provisions in the bill could only do more harm than good.
The uproar against the proposed measure came just a day after the upper chamber of Congress passed Senate Bill 2796 on third reading, with majority of Senators voting to pass the bill.
The lower house, on the other hand, has yet to take up its version of the bill on second reading.
Consumer group TXTPower, in a statement, said the bill looks less about preventing cybercrimes than an "orchestrated attempt to control and limit Internet use."
"Under the bills, government would have the power to take down, sans a court order, websites at anytime and anywhere if authorities find alleged prima facie evidence of offenses," the group said.
The group added that the bills have "serious and grave threats" to the privacy of Filipino Internet users, especially with provisions allowing government to take and preserve traffic data for a period of time.
"For example, under the Senate version, the government would have the power to retain all user-identifiable data for a period of six months, from as many individuals it could possibly tag as suspected cybercriminals," said TXTPower.
UP College of Law's Internet and Society Program Director Atty. JJ Disini pointed out that as written, the proposed legislation puts too much power under the Department of Justice (DOJ), which would act as the coordinating agency for the government's anti-cybercrime efforts.
"Under the bill, the DOJ can issue an order [to take and restrict access to data] should it be found as prima facie evidence for a violation," Disini said. "In effect, the DOJ's power is even greater than the court's power."

By Scotty Reid, BTR News – Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe resigned as president of Zimbabwe on Tuesday kicking off celebrations within the country. The Parliament speaker Jacob Mudenda told lawmakers which ends the 37-year rule of Robert Mugabe at times defined by brutality and economic collapse.
"I Robert Gabriel Mugabe in terms of section 96 of the constitution of Zimbabwe hereby formally tender my resignation with immediate effect," was read by speaker Mudenda.
Celebrations in Zimbabwe kicked off as President Robert Mugabe resigned under pressure from the military, his own political party ZANU-PF and the Zimbabwe citizens. This is seen as a positive development after the crisis which was 3 years in the making as Mugabe's old age, failing health and mental faculties left him susceptible to manipulation by his second wife and those who had aligned themselves with her to grab power for themselves following a purge of party veterans and revolutionary veterans of their war for independence seen as threats to their power grab. How prophetic their fears turned out to be.
Mrs. Mugabe was not as well liked as Mr. Mugabe's first wife who was loved by the people who would dub his second wife "Gucci Grace" because of her lavish spending in shopping sprees in Asian countries while the majority of Zimbabweans lived in poverty conditions due to years of sanctions followed by a period of an improved economy that was sunk by the cronyism and mismanagement of the country's resources. One of the ministers aligned with Mrs. Mugabe was found with $10 million dollars in US currency stashed in his home when he was arrested on corruption charges during the military intervention.
Some analysts say that with President Mugabe resigning peacefully, he saved the country from perhaps plunging into the kind of bloodshed seen during the early days of independence which perhaps would have given the enemies of Zimbabwe's revolution ammunition to stage a Libyan style overthrow of the government in the name of "humanitarism" complete with a new puppet regime favorable to Western corporations and interest.
In fact, an opinion piece that appeared in the Washington DC-based news outlet The Hill, written by K. Riva Levinson, the president and CEO of KRL International LLC, a D.C. consulting firm, blatantly urged the Trump administration to attempt to exploit the political crisis by offering aid to Zimbabwe which of course is what got Zimbabwe indebted to the IMF back in the 80s.
In light of Levison's revelation that the African Union is in bed with the American government explains why the African Union said and did nothing as one of their member countries, Libya was attacked by the US and its NATO allies in order in part, to stop Ghaddafi from working with Muslim and African nations to introduced a single gold back currency on the continent. A gold and diamond-backed currency have been discussed in Zimbabwe as they set aside resources to do what Ghaddafi wanted to do for all of Africa inside of Zimbabwe which could supplant the American petrodollar which only has value because of the trading of oil using the dollar. Replacing the petrodollar is one of the key reasons Saddam Hussien was overthrown and turned over to an execution squad much like Ghaddafi would in 2011 in an operation approved by Obama and carried out by Hillary Clinton who was filmed laughing with glee upon news of the assassination by proxy of Ghaddafi.
Because of recent history, the new Zimbabwe President and his aides will have to be ever vigilant going forward as it seems they are surrounded by enemies posing as friends who are really proxy agents of the West.

You guys, thank you again – all of you – SO much on all the support, comments, emails, texts, calls, EVERYTHING in response to my post last week about being Debt Free.
It seems I've struck a chord and that there are A LOT of you who are in need of some help, guidance, information, advice, etc.
I am still in the process of replying to all of your messages and comments – so if you asked a question, emailed, or commented – I PROMISE you WILL get a response. I just had no idea how many I'd get and I got a little overwhelmed.
Needless to say, SO many of you asked for a series on Money – or said YES you'd love to read some posts about finance. SO, with that being said, I added a section in the menu above called "MONEY" – this section is going to house all of my posts about, well, money. Duh.
Right now I'm looking at doing a post about once a week – maybe Thursdays, maybe Tuesdays. I don't know. I haven't totally decided yet. I definitely have enough questions from you guys to last me a while. So if you have a question, DEFINITELY email me and I will do my best to answer it here on the blog.
With all that being said, the two MOST COMMON questions I got in regards to my post were questions about "Dealing with Debt" i.e. debt consolidation, debt settlement, even bankruptcy. The second most common question I got was about tithing and my story with regards to that. I'm definitely going to address that soon – but today I'm going to address the TYPES of Debt, and the different ways people deal with debt – e.g. Debt Consolidation, Debt Settlement, and Bankruptcy – you know, so ultimately, you can GET OUT of debt.
ASSET DEBT (e.g. Mortgage) – You know, this is the debt that is an ASSET to you as in you hope to one day sell whatever it is and you will make money off of it – e.g. your house.
Before you resort to any of the other options that I mention below, you need to figure out if you have a DEBT problem, or a SPENDING problem. Many times, it's the latter.
Take a look at your money. Develop a budget. Figure out what bills HAVE to be paid each month, how much you're making, and compare the two. If you're OWE MORE money than you're bringing in, you have a DEBT problem. But, if it's just that you're SPENDING more money than you're bringing in, then you have a SPENDING problem.
If it's a spending problem, then what you need to do is figure out what areas you're, literally, spending too much money in, CUT BACK on those areas.
I will have another post soon about how to create a budget, managing monthly expenses, etc. But in the meantime, you need to figure out if your debt issues are serious or if they're just poor habits.
This is the route I went. DO NOT, and I mean, DO NOT confuse debt CONSOLIDATION with debt SETTLEMENT. I will address the latter here in a second, but DO NOT confuse the two. You will see A LOT of settlement companies try and make you think they are debt CONSOLIDATION companies. They are not.
Debt consolidation is, quite literally, CONSOLIDATING YOUR DEBT. Usually, this is only done in one particular debt area though.
[CREDIT CARD DEBT CONSOLIDATION] For example, you would typically consolidate your CREDIT CARD DEBT separately from STUDENT LOAN debt.
I consolidated my CREDIT CARD debt through an organization called NovaDebt. They are a non-profit organization out of New Jersey.
They charge me a monthly maintenance fee of like $30 or something.
So, the only part that makes NovaDebt money is my maintenance fee.
Now, there are SOME that will say companies like NovaDebt are useless and I could have negotiated my interest rates with my creditors.
However, a company like NovaDebt is working in my best interest to get my interest rates down – they are also a professional organization and creditors are MORE LIKELY to be willing to negotiate with a company like NovaDebt that has a reputation for clients getting out of debt and paying what they owe, VERSUS working with me, someone who could barely make the payments and they weren't sure if they'd ever see all the money I owed them.
For example, on one credit card, I was paying 24% interest on it every month. NovaDebt negotiated that interest down to 1%. That, ultimately, saved me A LOT of money in the long run. On a few cards, they even got it down to 0%. I highly doubt I would have negotiated an interest rate of 0% on my own.
So, for me, the $30 a month maintenance fee was worth it.
Also, the thing that was really helpful for me to see was the pay-off plan. With NovaDebt's negotiated rates, my pay-off plan was a little over five years. Now, I really buckled down and paid EXTRA a lot each month, so I was able to do it in under four years.
However, if I hadn't had gone through NovaDebt, and say I would have cut up my cards and just paid the minimum balance on my cards, with interest, it would have taken me 45 years to pay off my debt.
That number scared the C-R-A-P out of me. 45 years. That's a long time.
[STUDENT LOAN DEBT CONSOLIDATION] Now, this is a little different in that there are a lot of tax breaks and some things offered for student loan debt. I, personally, never had student loan debt, BUT, I know enough people who have and have read enough about debt to offer some advice.
DO NOT take a loan out to pay off your loans. This should be common sense, but you actually have no idea how many people I have heard of that got a loan from a bank to pay off their loans. WORST IDEA EVER. Seriously. Just don't do it.
Talk to someone at your university / school in the finance office. Many times individual schools will have banks that they work with that are student-loan friendly – in that, they know some resources to help you pay off your loans, work programs to help you pay them off, etc. I know someone right now who is working and his company is helping him to pay off his loans while he works – he found this opportunity through his school.
While you're talking to that person in the finance office at your school, talk to them about tax questions. I know a lot of students or post-students who aren't fully aware of some of the tax breaks that are available. Some student loan payments are tax-deductible. There are also tax deductions on student loan interest. I am not a CPA, but, if you ask the right person, you can get good advice.
Work with a BBB accredited company to consolidate your student loan debt. There are organizations, like NovaDebt, for the student loan debt world who will work with you to consolidate your debt and put you on a manageable plan. The Student Loan Network and NextStudent are good places to start. I've also heard mixed reviews of Wells Fargo – if any of you have worked with Wells Fargo, sound off in the comments below.
[DEBT SETTLEMENT] This is a biggie. If you read nothing else today, know that DEBT SETTLEMENT IS BAD. BAD. BAD. BAD.
When you see / hear commercials for DEBT SETTLEMENT, you need to point at the TV / radio and say NO. NO. NO!
JUST SAY NO TO DEBT SETTLEMENT!
Debt settlement is a sneaky way of companies literally SETTLING your debt for you… but what this means is they CUT your debt in half.
Now, that sounds great, but that does HORRIBLE things for your credit report AND creditors can STILL come after you later for the rest of their money.
For example, if you're $20,000 in debt, a debt settlement company might settle your debt for $10,000. That means you only pay $10,000 of what you actually owe. Well, other than putting a HUGE mark on your credit report, the creditors can also come after you five, 10, 20 years later and make you pay the rest.
With debt consolidation, you are literally paying off EVERY cent you owe to your creditors. When I finished paying off my debt, it restored my credit and my creditors will never bother me again.
Yes, it wasn't easy, BUT, I'm done. Debt settlement will HAUNT you. TRUST ME.
So, what have we learned here? SAY NO TO DEBT SETTLEMENT.
My short answer is NEVER file for bankruptcy… if you can help it. You will know if you need to file for bankruptcy. Trust me. You will know. But bankruptcy is an ABSOLUTE last resort.
Bankruptcy stays with you. For a LONG time. Like, seven years. And even then, it's tough to get rid of it after that.
I would say though that bankruptcy ALMOST might be a better option than debt settlement though. Almost. I'm not sure. They're both not great options.
If you are working and you have SOME money coming in, you CAN consolidate your debt at a level where you can manage it and pay if off. TRUST me. It can be done.
Okay, so I know this was a crazy long post, but it's an important one and I think good to get out of the way off the top since it's SUCH a common question.
Questions? Sound off. Let me know. Got an issue you need an answer to? Let me know. I wanna help!

As IUCN Red list African elephant recognised as Endangered & Critically Endangered
On March 25th, 2021, the African forest elephant is listed as Critically Endangered and the African savanna elephant as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
This is the first time the two species have been assessed separately for the IUCN Red List, following the emergence of new genetic evidence.
The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, while the population of African savanna elephants decreased by at least 60% over the last 50 years
At Present Only 4,15,000 African Elephants are present.
This is due to In 2008 both species suffered a sharp decline due to increases in poaching
About the 2 Elephant :
African forest elephant – Loxodonta cyclotis
This is slightly smaller than African savanna elephant, reaching around 2.5 metres tall and tipping the scales at up to four tonnes.
Its diminutive size is thought to be an adaptation to living in the tropical rainforests that blanket much of the African continent's interior, where this species is predominantly found.
African savanna elephant – Loxodonta africana
The African savanna (or bush) elephant is the bigger species and is seen most often, as it moves through open grasslands across the plains and deserts of much of eastern and southern Africa.
Reaching up to four metres tall and weighing over 10 tonnes, the savanna elephant is the largest living land animal.
