Biden will get my vote if and when my student loan is forgiven. He’s been teasing us with loan forgiveness so much that he’d better keep his promise. I don’t give a crap about excuses. Either he finds a way or, I swear to god, I’ll vote Trump. And I live in a swing state.

Paying for education is not the issue (well it is but the US is not ready for that convo). The main issue is predatory interest rates. I’ll pay for my education but not 3-4x more than what was loaned to me bc of interest, be serious

I think if the republicans ended up being the ones to cancel student debt the democrats wouldn’t really have a base. A lot of use are tolerating bad policies because we want cancellation and the democrats are dangling the carrot

To you. And it certainly is the answer. Tertiary education was once more accessible and a strength of the US economy. Now we create geniuses who are saddled with too much debt to drive impact.

We should do mortgages next. Home owners need help

What about renters? They need more help than homeowners!

Yea but nobody is ready for that conversation yet. THey don't want to talk about the benefits because they are so focused on how we shouldn't lat some people get off scott free when they already paid their loans.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Additional Posts in Student Loans

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
