My thoughts on Smallville 1x08 “Jitters.”

Confession: I watched this episode the other night. I’m watching it again because I enjoyed it so much. Okay, now that I’ve said that onto the episode.

I drag on the Smallville writers (for context I’ve been ranting about the show on several discord servers I’m on) but I want to compliment here in these opening scenes. The writers are showing the Kents are poor instead of simply telling it or simply having Lex offer a loan one episode and then never showing the Kents financial issues again. We actually get to see how oh, Kents don’t have money to spare. We see this in how Johnthan fixes the truck himself instead of going to an auto mechanic. We see this in how Martha is going to handle a plumbing issue herself instead of calling a plumber.

A small detail I like that makes this house feel lived in is how there's several cabinet doors left open that we can see behind Clark when he’s opening the fridge. I have a habit of opening cabinets, grabbing what I need, and completely forgetting to close them until a minute or more has passed. And then it’s ‘oh shit, I’ve got to close that.’

Also is it just an universal farmer thing for farmers to own a truck with a toolbox on the back? Because my great grandfather was a farmer and he had a truck with a toolbox in the back just like how Johnthan does.

Jonathan: “I’m definitely raising your allowance.”

Some thoughts here. 1.) Clark probably isn’t going to get that allowance raise after the party. 2.) We know Clark does the work of several farm hands - even though he’s juggling school - because this is mentioned in the episode the Kents needed a loan so my question is where does that saved money go? Is it given to Clark’s allowance? Is money the Kents keep to pay for stuff they need? Is it set aside for Clark’s college fund or for his first car? Looking back knowing what I do now…. Jonathan probably should have let Clark keep that truck. The Kents can’t afford a new car for their son and even if they go with an older car they’re still going to have to pay for repairs unless the used car is still in dealership warranty. But Jonathan was too prejudiced to accept it because of who Lex’s father was. I could understand vetoing the truck if Lionel was the one who gave it but it was Lex. I just **shrugs** I’ve got thoughts on Jonathan - I like him but he frustrates me - and I don’t know how to convey them so moving on.

Clark”....It’s a couple nights at Metropolis-”

That party of Clark’s was selfish. I understand that the Kents had to return early because of the plot but the in-universe reason they came back early is because they called several times the night of the party. Clark never answered but other people - people who told the Kents they didn’t know Clark - did. They left their trip after one day. I've got mixed feelings about this. Cause on one hand they deserve to celebrate their anniversary but at the same time they have to spend several hundreds of dollars on this trip because they’re staying at a hotel for several days and meals. That’s not counting any activities like going to movies, going to see a play, going shopping, or whatever. And it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because what two episodes ago they were talking about a bad loan Jonathan accepted. I just they should spend money on themselves but at the same they were going to spend a pretty penny on this trip before they came back earlier.

Is Earl going to hold a bunch of teenagers and a man hostage this episode? Yes. Do I want to hug him? Also yes. So far Earl and Jodi are the only villain of the week characters I have empathy for. I was really happy last night to learn Lex is getting him medical help. Until canon states otherwise I’m going to hope Earl eventually gets to live with his family.

Janitor dude: “Earl see that's the talk that got yourself canned. Now, if you got as problem get some help.”

Dude. With what health insurance?! This is America. Also those doctors likely can’t do shit because they don’t know what caused the issue. There is also the fact that meteor rocks are volatile. There are no rules and regulations on how it is handled. And like most rules and regulations they’re gonna be written in blood.

Sidenote: I like how it’s established that Earl has a family. If he dies then not only does his wife lose her spouse but she will be a single mother. Earl is fighting to get answers so he can be in his wife and child’s lives. Also I wonder if meteor mutation can be passed onto children. I know Earl’s kid is too old for this to happen but I wonder about this in general.

I’ve ranted about this multiple times but whoever worked in costume and design in this show deserves a fucking raise. Why? Because they are telling us the Kents aren’t well off with money. Clark is constantly wearing the same articles of clothing throughout the show instead of a new piece every time we see him. This book bag in this scene looks like the same bookbag from earlier this season. (Martha - she’s not in this scene but I’m bringing her because I’m talking about the costume and design team being great - often wears the same grey coat.) Chloe and Lana meanwhile have a wider selection of outfits. Lex meanwhile - I’m not even going to talk about colors yet - has driving gloves. It’s such a small detail but it says a lot. It says Lex has money to spend because most people don’t own driving gloves. Driving gloves aren’t needed in this time period the way they were in the past because of early steering wheels. Driving gloves are not a necessity nor are they common. Yet Lex spent money on them which shows he has money to spend on his interests in sports cars. Also Lex is often seen wearing purple. Purple is a color associated with royalty and wealth. Fun fact: there was a time where only Roman emperors could wear Tyrian purple.

Okay back to the show. Who invited all these people? I know Clark didn’t. Maybe Lex? I know Lex is behind the fireworks.

Lana has this thing of politely calling out implications of her love life and it’s so funny to me. I did not remember this trait of hers from when I watched the show as a kid. I do wonder why Lana abruptly stopped wearing her necklace.

I know the show is trying to set us up to like Lana/Clark but I don’t like the pairing already. Lana is painted as this nice girl - she’s friends with non popular kids (nevermind we’re just told this instead of actually seeing Lana and future villains of the week hanging out in the background before the x villain of the week episode), she’s interested in breaking apart from the expectations people have of her, she’s against academic cheating, she’s willing to tutor people for free, and so on. The thing is. She is one of the two characters outside of Clark and football players who know Whitney kidnapped Clark, stripped him, and tied him up in a pole where Clark stayed for hours. And she’s still with this guy. I just. I admit I ship Clex and those two are going to be a mess as the show progresses but the thing is Lex calls out Clark’s bullshit (which I don’t always think all of Clark’s bullshit is actually bullshit but that’s not the point). Clark calls out Lex’s bullshit (which again I don’t think Lex’s bullshit is actually bullshit but again not the point). It feels more even because they are critical of each other. Where as Clark never has a moment of ‘Lana knows what her boyfriend did to me and she’s still in a romantic relationship with him despite calling me her friend. Do I really want to be with her?’ I feel like Clark and the show itself puts Lana on a pedestal. I hope that the shows allows these two characters to be critical of each other since they’re eventually going to be canon relationship.

Chloe:”It’s a class field trip.”

Lex: “What did you do wrong?”

Kid me did not understand Lex was the funniest character on the show. (Clark is the second funniest btw.)

Lex has a type and it’s brunettes. This lady, Victoria, Desiree, Helen, and Lana. If Lionel’s goon - I feel like his name starts with d but I’m not sure - from an earlier episode has the same hair color as his sister then her too because the goon had brown hair.

Also I like how the plumbing issue from earlier is brought up again.

Clark: “I’m officially dead”

Lol. Clark you’ve been dead.

I love that we’re getting background on Martha. Johnthan is so enamored by his wife.

Lana: “It was kind of last minute. I didn’t realize I needed your permission.”

I get mixed feelings about these two. (Sidenote: I respect Whitney asking Lana to come outside instead of arguing in front of everyone.) Because on one hand Lana has a right to hang out with her friends without inherently telling her boyfriend. On the other hand Lana has a history of not telling Whitney she’s hanging out with Clark - a previous occasion being a limo ride to a concert in the city. Lana is aware Clark has feelings for her. She is aware Lex - a friend of Clark - keeps trying to pouch them together. Lana has admitted she’s defended that limo event with Clark to her aunt. Whitney is not being paranoid. I can understand why he doesn’t like this.

Whitney: “So you sneak off to a party without me?”

Lana: “I didn’t sneak off - I walked.”

I don’t even fucking like Whitney but I’m on his side on this. Lana was being sneaky by not telling him.

Lana: “I’m starting to get the feeling you don’t trust me.”

I mean you didn’t tell him about the limo even until you thought Clark ditched you.

I find interesting in this episode Whitney relies or tries to rely on Clark twice in regards to handling potential threats.

Chloe: “This guy should be in a detox center.”

Chloe there are multiple reasons why he could be having body tremors even without taking into consideration this is smallville.

Chloe: “Then why was he shaking like a junkie?”

Was Chloe’s mom a drug addict? From what I remember Gabe is single handedly raising her.

Clark: “I kept snapping the guitar strings. I think Earl got sick of replacing them.”

But he replaced them more than once. He still tried to teach Clark even though Clark broke strings of the instrument. I just find this moment says a lot about Clark and Earl. I wish we could see these two interacting outside of this episode.

Clark: “He was like family.”

I want to hug him.

Clark call a lawyer damn it. Preferably one who does a contingent fee basis work or someone Lex would recommend.

I’m surprised no one tried to get medical staff to look over Clark after he went through that glass.

Whoever decided to have Kent parents watch Clark clean and then clap is a comedic genius. Also Clark honey why would you not shut and lock the door before using your super speed?

I’ve complained about how the writers don’t show Clark having empathy before but they did it right here. Clark spent all night at that hospital because of Earl even though he had a house to clean.

Doctor: “I pulled the plant’s safety records. I checked with OSHA and the EPA.”

Ma’am. How did you get all of that so soon?

I know there are cameras in this building. How come no one notices Clark super speeding? I can begrudgingly suspend my suspension of belief that Lex doesn’t have cameras at home - I still need to know what happened to the guy that froze in the pond in Lex’s backyard - but we see cameras in this building. You mean to tell me that Lionel nor Lex wasn’t curious about how Clark was already away from the group and running around unsupervised. Like even without a hostage situation I feel like someone would check the cameras on just Clark wandering around by himself.

Once again Martha is wearing that grey coat. I love the costume and design crew on this show.

How the fuck did no one notice Clark speeding around?

Clark, you have x ray vision.

Earl: “Just like everybody else.”

I’m gonna defend Clark here. He’s the only person willing to investigate Level Three even though Jonathan had also interacted with Earl. Jonathan who constantly is suspicious of Luthors (I think in the Bug Boy episode he makes a comment about the Luthor plant infecting people) isn’t willing to look into this. Clark, who is friends with Lex, was willing to investigate even though it could potentially cause an issue between him and Lex. He was willing to hear Earl out and search for Level Three even before there were hostages involved. (Side note: moments like this I can see why Clark grew up and became a reporter. Though I hope to see Clark taking an interest in the school newspaper in this or the next seasons.) That said, I can understand why Earl made this comment. He’s been gaslighted about Level Three. He is also being told that level doesn’t exist because there are people who genuinely don’t know about Level Three is a thing. He’s being treated like he’s crazy even though he’s having these powerful body tremors from the incident in Level Three. I can understand why he’s pissed off at Clark but Clark is genuinely trying to help him.

Lionel: “How did you allow this to happen?”

Lionel has a brilliant actor. Lionel is a nasty, intelligent villain which I like because I don’t tend to enjoy dumb ones. That said, this character makes me furious. Gee, asshole. Maybe if Lex was given a warning he could have been better equipped to prevent this.

Lionel: “Lex! How did you allow this to happen?”

Lex: “I didn’t allow anything.”

Lionel: “Then how did this man get inside?”

Lex: “I think-”

Lionel: “You think? Why don’t you know Lex!”

Lionel is one of those parents who even if you have a justified reason why x happened it doesn’t matter. Lionel isn’t asking how this happened out of genuine interest of knowing. He asked so he can lecture. If he truly cared he would allow Lex to continue speaking after Lex said “I didn’t allow anything” and wouldn’t interrupt Lex when he’s saying “I think.” Also I love how Lex’s actor plays this scene because at one point when Lionel is yelling at him Lex lowers his head. Lowering your head like that is usually a sign of submission but also it could mean you feel threatened and you’re protecting your throat. The first one is common but I’m not throwing out the latter because I remember from when I watched the show as a kid that Lionel was physically abusive to Lex.

Lex’s expression at Lionel offering his hand to Johnthan makes me curious. Is Lex wary of his father knowing the Kents? Does he find it weird that Lionel is offering to shake hands with Johnthan?

Lionel: “Of course it is.”

I love Lionel’s actor. Lionel has interrupted Lex throughout this scene but Lex asking about Level Three isn’t interrupted nor is Lex lectured for even entertaining the “deluded” theory that the man holding teenagers and a Luthor employee as hostages believes in. There’s even these few seconds where Lionel doesn’t answer. And it’s so telling.

Martha: “What about the kids? You need to get on the phone and talk to him!”

I wonder when Lionel will start to be attracted to Martha.

Lionel: “But…I do not negotiate with terrorists.”

Negotiate being the key word. I wonder if Lex picked up on this. I do think he picked up Lionel’s response earlier as off.

This episode is heartbreaking because in another universe Lex could have been a hero. I don’t think he’ll necessarily have the drive to go be a vigilante but I think Lex could have been a damn good hero if he decided to be. Now would he be a manipulative one? Absolutely. But **gestures at Batman**

Lex **insert handshake emoji** me. We both don’t like being abruptly touched by family.

I wish that Clark would hear this speech and think about it later when Lex is being hugged by his dad and is staring at the Kents in yearning. Clark is a teenager - who has a lot of weight on his shoulders - but I just wish that he recognized Lionel was abusive to Lex. A lot of the fandom blames Clark for Lex’s downfall. I however have a different opinion. Lionel is the main person outside of Lex to be blamed. I know what it’s like to be raised in an abusive environment and growing up in an abusive household may explain things but there comes a time where we are all responsible for our own decisions. Lex is responsible for his actions but if we are going to put blame on another character for the path Lex goes down I say Lionel is to blame. I think Clark played a role - though I’ve got opinions on this topic I’m not going to ramble about it just yet because I need to hurry up and finish this but I will be ranting about my mixed feelings later - but Lionel was abusive shit.

Lex: “Yeah, it’s in his imagination. There is no Level Three Clark. Now get out of here.”

The acting in this episode is phenomenal. I like how Clark is showing signs of feeling unwell as Earl draws near. There’s no physical signs of meteor poisoning - aka the green veins - or music to convey the meteor is affecting Clark but Clark’s actor is doing his part to convey Earl getting closer to him makes him sick. Also does Lex genuinely believe that or did he notice how off Lionel was acting but doesn’t have actual proof of Level Three nor does he have time to truly look for it with Earl so he’s just letting Clark believe there never was a chance for Lex to be saved? Lex is just one of those characters where I’m sometimes never sure what he’s actually thinking. And honestly it’s nice because I often can figure out what characters’ motivations are in situations.

How the fuck does no one notice Clark using his super speed on the cameras.

I want to hug Pete. Poor kid is blaming himself.

God I love the Kents pretending they have no idea what’s going on.

Lex must be so curious. Because not only did Clark magically find Level Three - somehow the wall covering the elevator has been smashed. I feel like the wall being smashed would be less interesting to Lex - he already suspects Clark is stronger than natural - than how Clark somehow managed to find it.

Lex probably is hating his dad right now. Which is completely valid.

Earl: “How am I going to get better if I don’t know what’s poisoning me?”

I’m so tempted to write a fic where Clark reveals the meteor rock is what is harming Earl. We know Clark sees Earl like family - Clark has said this but he’s also shown it in his actions - but he’s not willing to tell Earl the truth. Also I wonder if Earl will go the same hospital Amy Adam’s character went to…

I find it interesting that Lex - who is in a hostage situation - is taking time to tell Clark he didn’t know about this place. His life is in the balance and he doesn’t want Clark to think he lied to him. Lex doesn’t even know Clark is close to Earl to the point he considers the man family - he only knows Earl used to work on the farm. Yet he doesn’t want Clark thinking he lied.

Earl: “He’s lying. He's just like his father.”

I don’t drink but I want to say if I took a shot every time a character said Lex was just like Lionel I would probably have liver poisoning before the season ends.

Clark: “...I don’t know. Adrenaline, I guess.”

Okay, so here's the thing. I’ve read fics where this line is mentioned in a negative light either because it’s a bad lie or it was bad of Clark to lie. I don’t think Clark is lying though. I think Clark went through an episode of hysterical strength. There are times where humans have abnormal strength for a period of time in order to save someone’s life - there was a case in like 1980s I believe where a mom lifted a car that had fallen on her son. Anyway, throughout this episode we’ve seen Clark become sick when near Earl. It is so bad that Clark would not agree to help Whitney attempt to attack Earl. Yet when Clark’s friend and someone he considers as family have their lives in danger Clarkl manages to find the strength to pull them up. So I don’t think Clark is actually lying.

Ledx staring at Kents being happy Clark is safe - that they’re giving him a hug because they actually want to instead of for publicity - makes me want to cry. Also another reason this scene is sad is Lionel grabbed Lex by the arm earlier and Lex told his dad to never do that again. And Lionel here is hugging Lex - which is much more contact than grabbing an arm - for publicity reasons instead of respecting Lex’s wishes. I also think Lionel hugs Lex to prevent Lex from declaring anything else in front of the press that Lionel doesn’t want.

This episode is my favorite episode so far. I feel like it’s going to be a favorite even after I’ve rewatched multiple seasons.

💸💸💸

feeling like an adult bc i finally understand what im doing with money and what works well for me. paying all my bills/ insurance/loans with a credit card set to auto pay so i don't miss payments but don't overdraft my bank accidentally (from experience). paying my credit card balance in its entirety every paycheck instead of waiting until its due each month so i can keep a better eye on it and so i don't reach the end of a month with a bill larger than i can afford. afterwards putting as much as i feasibly can into a savings at a completely different bank so that when i check my main account i don't see how much i have saved and don't think of it as usable money. keeping my checking acct as low as i can to minimize how much i spend because i think i have no money. i've been researching stocks and funds and all that grown up stuff for a while and i think by this summer i'll be able to start investing in umm a fund or whatever you want to call it to save for a down payment on a house five years down the line. when i move in april and have cheaper rent i'm going to start putting the difference into a roth ira bc my company doesn't match retirement plans. then in june it will be my 1 year mark at my company and i'm going to ask about a raise so i've been documenting my work and the new skills i'm being trained on so i have a solid stack of evidence with me. anyway the wildest part of all of this really is just the fact that for the first time ever i'm able to visualize a life 10 years from now. it's not just a gray nebulous void. i have tangible goals and i can see the path it's going to take to get there and I'm excited to be working towards them even though it means not seeing the rewards for years and years and years.

#“this is just diary ramblings for my own reading sake later i know the ins and outs of my finances isn't interesting to anyone else lol”#HOUSE BY THE TIME IM 30 HOUSE BY THE TIME IM 30 IF NOTHING ELSE I WANT TO OWN A HOME BY THE TIME IM 30 ! I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN #emily.docx

Millennials Money Tips for Personal Finance

It is very difficult for millennials to manage their own finances today as the world of competition requiring one to workout harder has changed in a matter of months. From student loan debt to increasing living costs, this generation has faced financial struggles that are all its own. Nevertheless, there are strategies out there that can work for the millennial in search of sustainable financial security or even just a better bottom line. Below are a few of the basic personal finance tips for millennials.

1. Set Clear Financial Goals

The first step in any financial plan is establishing specific and attainable goals. Whether it's to buy a home, pay off your student loans, or save for retirement — knowing what you're working towards will keep you more engaged and inspired. Divide your goals into short-term (one to two years), medium-term (three to five years) and long-(five or more). This approach helps you to prioritize and use your resources accordingly.

2. Create and Stick to a Budget

The Facet of Financial Management: Budgeting Track your income and expenses: The very first step is to track how much you are earning, after that what things consume your bills? Budgeting tools; you may use an app to categorize what you spend on and where they can be reduced. If possible, adhere to the 50/30/20 rule — apportion half of your funds towards needs and twenty percent for saving or repaying debt.

3. Build an Emergency Fund

It is only a rainy day fund to act as an emergency safety net in case life decides not to follow your plan. The hopefully three to six months of absolute must-have sequestered in a separate, liquid account. It can help you with the cost of surprising expenses–whether they be medical bills or it lets you maintain your financial schedule, rather than having a huge hole in it due to car repairs.

4. Manage Debt Wisely

For many millennials, student loan debt can be a large financial weight. Start your payoff journey with high-interest debt — credit card balances are a solid place to begin. Refinance or consolidate student loans at a lower interest rate. Establish and Maintain a HISTORY of consistent on-time payments to improve your credit score, reducing overall debt.

5. Invest for the Future

If you want to create wealth then investment is the most important thing for it. If your employer offers a matching 401(k) plan, that is what you should start with. Demand more investment options like IRAs, Stocks and Mutual Funds. Simply Diversify A toasted way to diversification! The point is that, your money should earning with compounding.

6. Enhance Financial Literacy

One can be really good at making informed decision which is backed by financial literacy. Use online sources, books and courses to learn more about personal finance. Understanding concepts such as interest rates, inflation and investment options can help you make more informed financial decisions.

7. Plan for Retirement

Architecting retirement: It is never too early to plan for retirement. Save a minimum of 15% of your income toward retirement. Make use of Roth IRAs and traditional IRA tax-advantaged accounts. You may want to talk with a financial advisor who can help you put together your own retirement plan based on what you hope for in retirement and how much risk you are willing to take.

8. Protect Your Assets

But while it may not be the sexiest asset class around, insurance is integral to any complete financial plan. Make sure of health, auto and and home insurance coverage. Good idea: If you have dependents, consider life insurance. Disability insurance provides you income in the event of an illness or injury.

9. Check Your Credit Score

Great credit can unlock lower-interest rates and financial possibilities. Review your credit report on a regular basis for inaccuracies and work towards building up the score. By paying your bills on time, keeping credit card balances low and only opening new accounts when you need them (and therefore improved scores so long as other key factors don't weigh in ).

10. Seek Professional Advice

If you are unsure of where to begin or need help, then speak with a financial advisor. They can give you advice and even consult with you to build a financial plan as well. Also look for a good pedigree — Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

With these personal finance tips, a millennial can move forward in the financial journey feeling more secure for their future. Earning money is only part of the process… its mastering discipline, consistency and continuous learning that leads to long-term financial success.

Why Car Ownership Is Getting So Expensive | CNBC Marathon

CNBC Marathon examines a variety of factors that lead to car ownership in the U.S. being so expensive, from auto loans to repairing your vehicle. A car loses about 10% of its value as soon as it's driven off the lot. And within the first three years, that number goes up to 50%. Depreciation — the rate at which that happens — is one of those numbers everyone in the automotive world thinks about including consumers, automakers and the massive used car market, which made up somewhere around 35.2 million in 2022 — compared with 13.8 million new cars. More than 100 million Americans have an auto loan and auto loan debt in the U.S. is at a record high of $1.56 trillion. Between the Covid-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, alleged predatory lending practices, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, getting an auto loan is getting increasingly difficult and costly. Auto repair costs have been rising for years, but recently they've spiked. Experts say it's likely a mix of factors including heavier, faster and more complex vehicles, riskier driving behavior, new technology, and labor and supply shortages. Repair shop owners say they can’t find enough technicians despite paying six-figure salaries. As technology marches forward, and fancy cutting-edge EVs fill the roads, consumers hear horror stories about huge repair bills. But insiders say there are reasons to be optimistic.

P.S. The main reason - primitive consumerism: in America, many people have forgotten that the primary function of a car is to be an efficient means of transportation, not to impress neighbors and friends with the huge size of the car and the size of the loan payment... One of my biggest culture shocks when visiting America was the American car inefficiencies...! You have to see with your own eyes how they drive to work or to Walmart every day in huge pickup trucks and people don't even make money with these cars...! In addition, they still brag about who has the biggest, most inefficient and therefore worst car in town. This is complete nonsense...!

There are practically no cars of reasonable design in America...It's no wonder Americans are inundated with auto loan debt...and American car manufacturers are NOT popular in Europe anymore. American cars are conceptually designed to get as much money out of people's pockets as possible...

Understanding Personal Loans -

A personal loan in jaipur is an unsecured loan typically offered by banks, credit unions, or online lenders. Unlike secured loans, such as mortgages or auto loans, personal loans don't require collateral. Instead, they're personal loans in jaipur based on your creditworthiness, income, and financial history.

Types of Personal Loans -

1. Traditional Personal Loans:

These are the most common types of personal loans. They come with fixed interest rates and a predetermined repayment schedule. Borrowers receive a lump sum upfront and repay it in instalments over the loan term, usually ranging from 1 to 5 years.

2. Lines of Credit:

A personal line of credit provides flexibility. It works like a credit card, allowing you to borrow up to a specified limit and repay it as needed. Interest is charged only on the amount you use.

Key Factors to Consider Before applying for a personal loan in jaipur, it's crucial to consider the following factors:

1. Interest Rate:

The interest rate, often expressed as an Annual Percentage Rate (APR), determines the cost of borrowing. A lower APR means you'll pay less in interest over the life of the loan.

2. Loan Term:

The loan term affects your monthly payments. Shorter terms result in higher monthly payments but lower overall interest costs, while longer terms reduce monthly payments but increase total interest expenses.

3. Fees:

Be aware of any origination fees, prepayment penalties, or other charges associated with the loan.

4. Credit Score:

Your credit score plays a significant role in the interest rate you'll qualify for. A higher credit score can lead to better loan terms.

5. Repayment Plan:

Ensure that the monthly payment aligns with your budget and financial goals.

Applying for a Personal Loan in jaipur

1. Check Your Credit Report:

Obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) and review it for accuracy.

2.Compare Lenders:

Shop around and compare offers from different lenders to find the best terms and rates for your needs.

3. Gather Documentation:

Lenders may require proof of income, employment, and other financial information. Prepare these documents in advance to streamline the application process.

4.Submit Your Application:

Complete the loan application with your chosen lender. Be honest and accurate with your information.

Managing Your Personal Loan

Once you've secured a personal loan in jaipur, it's essential to manage it wisely:

1. Create a Budget:

Incorporate your loan payments into your budget to ensure you can comfortably meet your obligations.

2. Automatic Payments:

Consider setting up automatic payments to avoid missing due dates and incurring late fees.

3. Avoid Additional Debt:

Resist the temptation to accumulate more debt while repaying your personal loan. This can lead to a cycle of debt.

4. Emergency Fund:

Build or maintain an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses, reducing the need for future loans.

Conclusion

Personal loans can be valuable financial tools when used responsibly. By understanding the different types of personal loans, considering key factors, and managing your loan wisely, you can make borrowing money work for you. Always do your research and choose the loan that best aligns with your financial goals and capabilities.

important correction!

a credit score is not, exactly, an indication of how "well" you will pay back a loan. it is an indication of reliability for the exact terms of a loan, which is why paying off a loan early or more aggressively can make your score go down. not directly—it has to do with active accounts and credit history and—it'll still drop your score to finish paying off a loan and remove it from your active accounts.

a credit score isn't for you. it's for corporations (most often) to know which customers they can maximixe their loan-lifetime profit from. someone who takes longer to pay loans back but always pays on time with the minimum payment will have a higher score (all else being equal) compared to someone who pays off their loans aggressively with the surplus of payments going to the principal of the loan, rather than early loan payments. (paying to the principal of the loan reduces the term of the loan, and thus the interest owed, and thus the amount of money they make off of you over the course of your payment on the loan. paying extra without specifying it go toward the principal will just "stock up" on payments to the loan, so the extra goes to the next payment, and then the next after that. doing this will not save you any money. it will still reduce your credit score if you pay off the loan early, even though they made the same amount of money off of you.)

yes, this is all even more horrendously complicated than you might have already been aware.

you're not even allowed to know the exact criteria used to determine your credit score, just approximations. also, you don't have "a" credit score. you have several. or many, even. it depends on the scoring methods the relevant institution(s) use, as well as the purpose for the score. is it for an auto loan? a home loan? a consumer loan, such as for an appliance or furnature? (some kinds of loan will drop your credit score just by existing on your history, even if you pay it off completely and on time.) are they using FICO 8? Experian? credit karma is well-advertised, but will that score be even remotely close to what someone sees when they evaluate your credit?

i know wayyyyyy too much about this, considering i can't really put the knowledge to practical use anymore, so. if you want to learn more, expect to spend many hours doing a lot of reading.

there are useful guides to outline the basics, but frankly at a certain granularity of knowledge you will need to just buckle down and read. and read. and read. and ask lots of questions. and keep track of the answers, and the context in which they're given.

no, it's not fair. no, it's not accessible. yes, this system is designed for others to use, and you're explicitly the product. yes, the many "gotchas" and "howevers" and "not-quite-but-actuallys" are very likely going to frustrate you and trip you up. if there's someone you know personally who is knowledgeable and willing to give you a place to start, having one or more detailed conversations with note-taking may be a good place to begin. just be wary of relying on their knowledge solely, because the rules change and if the last time it was relevant to them was several years ago when they last bought a car, they may give you bad (or at least un-optimal) advice by accident. yes, that is somewhat contradictory. i'm sorry i can't reveal a hidden, simpler way to understand all of this.

oh, yeah, and: i am not a laywer

#credit score #long post #also #having a high credit utilization doesn't matter historically; just at the moment your credit is evaluated.#you can use most of your available credit and just pay it down when you need to have your score checked #(in the context of a credit line; not set loans)#how much you tend to use does not matter #(to my knowledge)#(using current scoring methods)#(this could change)

Why Is Bitcoin Rising? BTC Price Surpasses $100K

BTC is the world’s largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of $2.03 trillion. It skyrocketed immediately after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5, 2024, and has continued rising since then, surpassing its previous highs multiple times. As of Dec. 5, 2024, Bitcoin has surpassed its prior highs and hit an all-time high of $103,900.

After nearly touching $100K, BTC stabilized at $95,000, with the market optimistic that it will continue to rise; as of Dec. 05, 2024, it peaked at an all-time high of $103,900.

The hope that the U.S. and the rest of the world will embrace pro-crypto policies appears to be the most appealing factor fuelling BTC’s rise. China’s efforts to lift restrictions on personal cryptocurrency ownership are also spurring hopes. Reports of Brazil and Russia considering BTC as a reserve too signal promise for cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Trading At $100K In December 2024

Bitcoin peaked at its all-time high at $103,900, with a market capitalization of $2.03 trillion and a global market capitalization of $3.69 trillion as of Dec. 5, 2024, after the U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump’s victory, and anticipation of more favorable policies for the crypto industry.

Last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered its interest rate by 25 basis points from 4.50% to 4.75%, making borrowing money through credit cards, loans, and auto financing cheaper. This contributed to the surge. In the past, BTC rose due to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a rate cut of 0.5% on Sept. 19, 2024, the start of an easing cycle.

The currency has struggled to maintain above $65,000 since hitting an all-time high in March. Still, it has neared $98,000, surpassing the all-time high multiple times in November 2024 after Trump, who has a pro-crypto stance, clocked victory in the U.S. presidential election.

Why is Bitcoin Rising?

Among the key reasons why Bitcoin has surged to reach its highest since 2021 include:

Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election in 2024.

The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by another 25 bps after its once-in-four-years cut of 50 bps.

The Swiss National Bank followed suit by reducing the interest rate by 25 bps.

The Bank of Japan maintained a steady interest rate.

U.S. SEC approval of Spot Ethereum ETFs.

Strong inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The U.S. banking sector’s woes in 2024 led digital currency supporters to reiterate the significance of decentralized finance and the need to have complete control of one’s own money without the regulation of banks that themselves find it difficult to stay afloat in a challenging global economic environment.

What Lies Ahead for Bitcoin?

Institutional adoption is accelerating, exemplified by Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s, which have attracted billions in investments, signaling growing confidence from traditional financial markets. On the regulatory front, President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Paul Atkins, a known cryptocurrency advocate, to head the SEC highlights a potentially favorable shift in the regulatory landscape. This could pave the way for more precise guidelines, encouraging widespread adoption.

The market momentum is another bullish signal. Let us see what industry experts have to say about what lies ahead for Bitcoin:

Vikram Subburaj, chief executive officer of Giottus, said that Bitcoin is currently in price discovery with experts predicting the price of BTC to reach $150,000 or even more. Volatility is expected as early entrants will indulge in booking profits. The overall sentiment for BTC will remain bullish till 2025.

Saravanan Pandian, chief executive officer of KoinB, said that market sentiment and adoption and increased confidence: Hitting $100K could fuel further confidence among retail and institutional investors, driving more capital into the market. Businesses and governments may increase Bitcoin adoption as a store of value.

He further said that the price milestone may speed up regulatory approvals for spot Bitcoin ETFs in major economies. More companies could follow Tesla and MicroStrategy’s lead in holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

the biden administration, in an effort led by vice president kamala harris and director of the consumer financial protection bureau, rohit chopra, are also trying to bar medical debt from credit reports, which means disabled people like me's credit score wouldn't be tanked by needing to y'know not suffer and die, removing one of the roadblocks to acquiring student loans, auto loans, mortgages, personal loans, etc.

anyone trying to tell you "both sides suck, you shouldn't even bother voting" is not your fucking friend and is either dumber than a brick or has ulterior motives, which is where i remind you that russia used tumblr to spread disinformation and apathy about voting to young people in 2016 as a means of election interference [bbc] [nbc] [the hill] [fortune]. it worked, to the tune of over 400,000 covid deaths during trump's presidency (with many more to come after, due to his complete refusal to put a framework in place to deal with the crisis), kids and babies being ripped from their mothers' arms and stuffed in cages, life getting even worse for black people, a stacked conservative supreme court that overturned federal abortion access protections, a steep increase in anti-semitic attacks and hate, and of course a whole hell of a lot more. this is aside from the fact that he's a convicted felon, was found financially liable in civil court for sexual assault, and has repeatedly sexualized and expressed his desire for his own daughter. oh yeah, and if someone tries to say "yeah but palestine!!" kindly remind them that trump said he "fought for israel like no president before" while in office, moved the us embassy there from tel aviv to jerusalem after recognizing it as the capitol of israel, said in an interview with time that people are taught to hate jews from young childhood in palestine and that he doesn't think a two-state solution would work (i note the latter in the context of, he's anti-palestine), and when he does criticize israel it's because he says they're "losing the pr war" by sharing images of their genocide on social media. purity is a falsehood, the perfect candidate doesn't exist, and it's your responsibility as a citizen of the country and of the world to participate in the democratic process.

get off your ass and vote.

This is a BIG deal. Re-elect Biden
