How do I ensure my autopay is processed correctly each month? I drive for Uber and Lyft every day after work and on weekends, and most of what I earn goes straight to my student loan payments. I made a double payment on my loan in Feb, and the following month, my autopay didn’t go through, so I called my loan servicer. They told me that since I paid extra in February, I didn’t owe anything for March. I'm basically being punished for being proactive.

Regularly monitor your loan account and bank statements to confirm payments are withdrawn as scheduled, especially if you make extra payments or pay ahead, since some servicers may skip the next scheduled withdrawal if your account is paid in advance

I think for the first few months, I'd just set a reminder on your calendar to check that it goes through. After that, you should be able to trust it. You'll be able to see if your funds are withdrawn every month once you remember the date of withdrawal. just stay up to date on your bank account too

I'm 32 and looking to make a career change. Previously I've been in sales, sales QA and some analyst position. I want to transition into learning programming and decided the best roadmap for me would be to learn Salesforce, land an entry level admin job and develop my skills over time to transition into programming.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

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???

SOFI or who else?

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?
