I'[m going to consolidate all my federal loans with ACS. I also have about 13k in private loans from TERI. Those I'll consolidate when I have a job because not too many companies consolodate private loans. When you have a job and a nice salary you're...

just for refference. In Sheepsheadbay brooklyn (which is considered a very good area) a 2 bedroom will run you 1100-1300 bucks. It will be a 40 minute commute into the city.

you can afford it...but WHY? Why overpay an extra 300-400 dollars a month to live in the city when you can live in Queens or Brooklyn for much less. Put that money in your pocket and save it and commute an extra 20 minutes. Sorry I grew up in NYC (ra...
