   I've never heard of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in my life, but it's proudly advertised as a "top 50 public university" (#48) and ranks #105 overall, which makes it a dumpster-tier institution. Accordingly, financial management is apparently so incompetent and inflexible that they reduce a faculty member to begging online. This is an extraordinary story, in part because nobody at Miami University could muster any reasonable advice for this gilded clown, but mostly because a PhD is too financially illiterate to have any savings, or a line of credit, or to get a short to medium term loan to alleviate this laughable financial situation. Imagine having a PhD in Media and Communication, insisting on being called "Dr. Cutesyname" and making 42k a year. Jesus.

     @pressure @NEETzsche When I was a Catholic, my spiritual father wanted me to consider the priesthood because I was so intimately familiar with these things, I would often teach him things that he didn’t know during RCIA.
     
     I left because I don’t think Catholic distinctives are true, but I still might go a similar route someday. One of the people who raised me is a cleric and taught me a lot about it.

     @NEETzsche @pressure I have some kind of learning disability, I think. I scored fairly high on IQ tests when I was younger, but there’s a layer of complexity with some things like finances that I cannot break through that the people I surround myself with can.
     
     The information I’m good at applying is history and philosophy, which as it happens, is useless in most professions.
     
     Sucks to suck.

     @opphunter88 @NEETzsche
     Unironically you seem to have a mind well-suited to academia. I know that's a grave insult or whatever but maybe it's something worth considering. There aren't many people out there that pour over archaic theological texts with genuine enthusiasm.

     @NEETzsche @pressure I dropped out of college after a week because I couldn’t keep up with the most remedial algebra course they had. I especially can’t do math.

     @NEETzsche @pressure I am literally too stupid to manage money beyond basic saving and conservative spending. My IQ is average as shit. I don’t understand banker magic and never will.
     
     I just want to live a content life 😭

     Well, we live under systemic Judaism, so learning Jewish financial sorcery is by extension pretty practical. I’m in put city right now btw

     There are some guys on our side of the aisle into debtmaxxing but it seems too risky.

     @pressure I’m not a big economics guy. I avoid debt like the plague and live only on what I have, as best I can. I was raised all simple like that.
     
     That said, it’s funny and stereotypical how these financially ignorant e-beggars are exactly who you’d expect them to be. Libs and academics (but I repeat myself) have no concept of money.
