Excluding tuition and rent - anyone have an estimate for how much cash one should have (per year) for an MBA at H/S/W? I’m thinking for things like travel, going out, etc. Trying to figure how much I need to save up over the next 6-8 months lol.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.
