What do you think are the chances this thing actually goes through? As of today they're still blocking it. It's paused which is fine, but if they don't actually forgive them after February I'll be pissed.

I think it’s super unlikely. I would be fine with the interest rate just being 0% for all student loans. I took the loan, did what I had to in order to graduate, it’s just the interest that makes it so hard to pay off.

It’s the one positive from COVID for me. They’ve paused student loans for over 2.5 years now and I’ve just kept the same monthly payments the entire time, but they’ve been interest free.

I honestly think it will go through, at least I hope so.

Nope. I'm surprised it went as far as it did honestly. Obviously this administration wants it, but that's not enough.

I’m fine if it doesn’t go through as long as they keep pushing the freeze for as long as possible. My principal is $150k, so the $10k forgiveness doesn’t help as much as not having to make payments. Come on sleepy Joe, push it until 2024!

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

In a perfect world how much would you want to make a year to both pay off your loans and live a good life? I think I'd need to make upwards of $200k to pay off my loans, take care of my family and live a fulfilling life.

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???
