I am still looking at payments not starting until next year for me. I really need to get it together though and start making payments. Nice to have the grace period but that big number isn’t going anywhere if I don’t start at least doing something with it. Is there a downside to making payments while not technically having to right now?

Additional Posts in Student Loans

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?
