For those of you who are also just holding out in SAVE forbearance like me, are you concerned this is all going to blow up and you'll be surprised with a huge payment that you're not going to be ready to pay off? I'm wondering if we should at least be paying off interest. How long have you not paid?

I’ve been in SAVE forbearance too and I think about this all the time. It feels like a ticking clock. I haven’t made payments in a while, but I’m starting to consider throwing something at the interest just in case. I’d rather chip away now than get caught off guard later.

Yep. Went back to school PT to go back to in school deferment.

I’ve utilized resources from this website: https://www.studentdebtcrisis.org. In the past they have had group and individual sessions regarding student loans and repayment plan options. Hope this helps

Why stop your payments during forbearance? Just keep in the habit and chip away at that total amount. When payments restart, monthly payments will be reassessed on your new lower total. Don't count on forgiveness, just keep plugging away.

I was in SAVE forbearance too and have been paying the loan down consistently. I logged on today and saw that there is an additional $75 on my loan balance. Yet the interest still says 0% on my Mohela dashboard. Did the forbearance period end?

I want to get out of ID so badly. I don’t mind the work but the hours are just killing me. I just started at a new firm less than 6 months ago and I am already desperate to get out. It is not the firm or the people. I just hate the high billables. I have been applying to other jobs but I think I may need a recruiter for help. Any recommendation for a great recruiter in NYC?

Hey guys. I have a technical interview with AlixPartners restructuring and turnaround team. This is for their summer intern position. I didn’t come from a restructuring background.

I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

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?
