In the US, the year long student loan deferment ends in September. What happens when millions can't or don't start paying on them?

  • Looking it up, that definitely seems like a solid option. I'm gonna have to look into that more. Thanks.

  • Not sure what happens on the wider scale, but if I don't find a new job by then, I'm probably going to start seriously going hungry, and suffer from malnutrition as well. I have a job, for sure, but it doesn't pay me a living wage. My spouse also works, and makes a good deal more than me. Problem is, their higher pay makes our gross household income (which is what is used to calculate income-based monthly payment amounts, not net income) high enough to where we cannot afford to make the payment without seriously starving ourselves.

    This is why it's stupid that the government, or anyone really, should ever take into account gross income. Because who gives a shit if Bob and Jane make $50 000 a year if after taxes, food, rent, natural gas, gasoline, electricity, medical payments, etc. it's only really like $25 000 or whatever. (Don't correct me if that math doesn't add up. Lol. I just threw down some numbers to illustrate a point.)

  • No, you can't make me. :P

    (Honestly, though, I actually really prefer the web UI. This is one of the few issues I've had with it.)

  • Or store it in the freezer, and then toast it to thaw it. You'll get toast in the end, not straight bread, but hey, suuuper long shelf life. Allows you to stock up too. :)

  • tries to tap Play icon to start video

    Psych! It's actually just an image!

    OP, I fucking hate you.

     

    Edit: Apparently, it is a video; it's just some Lemmy platforms are finicky about videos and don't always want to play them. Which is unfortunate.

  • Same. In my opinion, America—"the Great Experiment"—is at this point mostly a failed experiment. But the goal for which said experiment originally strived is still a worthy one.

  • I am genuinely happy for you, but I'm poor so I literally don't have the money to move. The best I can do at this point is put away a little of money when I can (not often) and hope for the best.
