This article headline makes me so sad. We all know that this country is not depending on those student loan repayments. They could forgive us all and nothing would collapse. I hope everyone could find their way home to their families.

I'm honestly not sure if I could. Really lucky my family's going to visit me this year instead of me trying to make it back home.

I couldn't go home for Thanksgiving, but I'm planning to go for Christmas. I just took a look at the flight prices and are nearly double what I usually pay for a flight back home on the holidays.

Times are difficult right now. things are not the same as they were 15 or 20 years ago. Young professionals are buried in debt before even getting established in their careers. They can't afford rent, never mind plane tickets to visit families. I don't know what the answer is but I hope the next generation does not struggle as much as these kids are.

I used to be able to fly home for christmas - quick 1 hour flight. Now I brace the winter conditions for a 7 hour drive, each way, to go for 3 days. Hope the weather stays nice for me this year!!

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Or… should I take a small loan?

Hi Guys,
Need your advice. I have forgot to enter challan details while filing tax and then e-verified then it return with pay later option, though i had paid the income tax first first hand via pay now option.
