Does your spouse or SO help you pay off your student loans? How do you decide who pays how much? Did they offer or did you ask for help?

I mean sure. My spouse and I have the same bank accounts and pay all our bills from it. There's no "his and hers" when it comes to stuff like that😆

We will after we clean up our individual debts.

Usually in my experience people file taxes separately, enrolled in REPAYE or similar and payments should be low enough to be handled by whoever holds the loan. If the goal is to actually pay off the loans then that’s like CC debt or similar and should just be discussed accordingly

I saved up to pay for all my education and student loans. He has credit card debts that is working to pay off. After we are both clear of our own separate debts, we will have joint accounts.

The only real drawback to bringing debts to a joint account is if someone high tails it and leaves the debt w/ the other party in the joint account, right? Or if they withdraw all the funds, which leaves the other party with no money to pay the debt?

Sharing some thoughts I’ve had lately:

The end of my suffering occurs with the death of my ego. I am reborn when I surrender to life exactly as it is, right at this moment (and it’s always “this moment”). I can begin to grow when I either accept life as it is, or I change my life because I can’t accept it. The better I become at surrender and acceptance, the more I experience serenity. After a long enough time I realize I’ve had a spiritual awakening. Now I am peace / joy / love.

Additional Posts in Student Loans

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

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?
