I've officially hit "Let's circle back to this after the holidays" time when work is (mostly) chill.

I wish I could circle back to student loans at a more convenient time. Lol.

I was just thinking, it really wasn’t the best time to get back to student loan payments! My grocery bill is double, electric about doubled, but let’s throw another expense on top of that! Anybody else having a hard time with the rise of everything on top of adding something else? I mean there’s never an ideal time, but still..

It's the financial equivalent of saying "I'm putting this on the back burner and hoping it magically resolves itself." I feel you my friend. I've said those words more times than I care to admit.

Restarting payments in Oct was a really horrible plan. I feel I'm struggling with it more than I would have in say, Feb or March. It added a lot to my already stretched budgets right before the holidays.

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

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???
