What did they say about family gifts?
The rep I spoke seemed to say that's a problem because they need to confirm with employer...

Anyone know the difference between cosigning and guarantor? their application has 2 options.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

First Atlantic wrote the following in a email:
"The rate for 5 years with 760+ would be 2.74% without Direct deposit from your employer.  With a $500.00 direct deposit from you employer the rate would be 2.24%."

Anyone know what they mean by that? A one time direct deposit from employer? Every month? If it's $500 every months it's not going to take 5 years to pay up loan?...

It means having a checking account with them and using it for direct deposit. The money in the checking account is your and has nothing to do with the loan. You could transfer it out right away.

If someone has to be at JFK at 8:25AM on a weekday, what time should they leave Lakewood (factoring in traffic, airport parking, etc.)?
Thanks.

Thanks. I'm guessing this has to be a maintained for the duration of the loan and not a one time thing...? If the latter, can you add it a few months after initial loan to get discount?

Any current data points on the ASTC museum membership program. I know liberty science center was enforcing the 90 mile tile years ago but the Intrepid and Franklin Institute were not. Any current data points?

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

FYI: For those that use the services of an Attorney to obtain placement or services for their special needs child from the BOE.

Before signing any settlement papers read them carefully and ASK QUESTIONS. Don't just assume the attorney is taking care of everything to your satisfaction. Some people have been told to just sign because it's a good settlement only to find out afterwards that attorneys fees were not covered leaving them to pay over 10k out of pocket to the attorney. Others have found that they settled for an hourly rate that won't even cover the services needed after they were told to just sign the papers because it's the best deal they could get and they would be happy. They were basically told at that point that they signed and it was too bad.

Ask the questions before signing and don't rely on anyone advising you to " just sign the papers" no matter who the attorney is. You will save yourself much heartache later on...

Pictures work fine.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
