About $800. It's a lot. My student loans are killing me and I don't qualify for forgiveness :(

What’s your income?

About $200

I’m paying $2100/month but I think that’s what my plan requires - it’s not the minimum. I think if I was on the SAVE plan, I’d be paying around $1800 right now but I’m on the 10 year repayment plan instead.

It absolutely sucks and it means we have almost nothing leftover to save.

$440

Right now? $0. Took my wife's loans down to 10k and put it on deferment. If there's any forgiveness I'm not gonna be left holding am empty bag. If there's not - I'll pay it off.

Usually like $558 on 10 year repayment plan.

$833/mo :(

What’s your income?

Over $1k/month
I pay $3-4k/month

~$165k

Around $41/month right now. I'm on the SAVE plan and my salary is pretty pathetic so I'm thankful it's so low right now. But I know one day it'll hit me hard. ='(

baby steps!

$381
I pay an extra $100 every month

$324

My student loan payment right now is $268 exactly.

Just hit $100k NW today and it’s pretty exciting for me. I was at -$50k (student loans) before graduation in May 2019.
No crazy luck in crypto or investments. Just basic saving, 401k, ESPP and low expenses. Next step is to start investing by myself and taking some risks!!!

TC: $82.5k

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
