I haven't paid federal loans since before 2020 and I was just recently hit with a 120 point credit score drop.
Did this happen to anyone else? My wife didn't get the credit hit yet.
Didn't Biden say that no credit would be reported until Sept / December 2025?!
I was on an IDR plan before 2020.

Fedposter, have a heart! He was absolutely blindsided -- this massive hit to his credit wasn't supposed to happen until later this year!

Sounds like my mom. She was saying that if her student loans don't get forgiven, she can't retire when she planned.
Love you mom, but I'm still voting for Trump -- you're the one who went back to school in your 50s for another degree.

if by "everyone" you mean /r/wallstreetbets, then yes
iirc, interest on federally subsidized loans can be deferred so the play is to take out as many loans as possible and invest it all in stonks

There's no way. He would have been in default of the loan and no way he got a mortgage in default of school loans.

Interest rates on those loans are really low so you can just take all of them and use high yield savings accounts to sort of offset the overall cost and then just pay it back lump sum when payments start
But most people who end up in these situations (r-slurs) just use the excess money to "have fun" or "not suffer" by switching to nicer dorms, or going out all the time, or whatever until its all gone

Not exactly... I'm also not sure how this guy managed to end up with 7 different federal ones if all he has is a bachelors
I have 3 and that's only because I was an r-slur about it, it could have just been 1 or 2

Mine were different between each year and sub'd or unsub'd. I'd try to get them condensed to one of two but the interest rate keeps climbing and refinancing at this point would be stupid.

Why do poor people never understand how debt works?
I've got private student loans locked in at 2.7%.
Why on God's green earth would I prioritize paying those off when I can make 7-10% in the stock market?

I havent made payments because my shit is in forbearance. I'll actually be able to fully wipe out some of the multiple student loans when forbearance ends to reduce my monthly payback. I cant even imagine not paying these out once I'm obligated to.

I would love to live in Japan. My husband would love to live in Japan. Unfortunately it is a bureaucratic hellscape where you can't even start a company without the permission of a specific high-ranking government official and changing your visa.
Maybe I am just a dumb American, but you'd think Japan would love to see foreign entrepreneurs starting companies just like basically every other country does.
1. Husband speaks Japanese and likes Japanese culture (he does genuinely speak Japanese, not just like kawaii desu anime Japanese).
2. I want to live in that area of the world (south-east-ish Asia).
3. Japan seems cool and it's a compromise.
4. US is backsliding into authoritarianism
5. Have a higher-ed degree that a competent authoritarian gov't would target
6. Both of us are transgender & bi
I don't really have much family since my family, besides my siblings, have basically disowned me and I haven't seen them in ~a decade. My husband has a bigger family that are super welcoming and we'd miss.
It isn't so much a dream as it is survival. I am sure they'll be people saying we are being overly dramatic with making plans to flee the country, but I'd much rather be overly cautious than end up dead, in a camp or having to file for emergency refugee status. Trump losing bought us at least 2 - 4 years. It isn't that I hate America, it's that America seems to hate everyone like me.
