Biden pushes new student loan repayment plan as bills loom for tens of millions

Jump

  • I received an email from studentaid.gov inviting me to apply. It points to a calculator---really a screening-level application---on their site I can use to compare before applying.

  • I was never on an income-based repayment plan. I was always on the standard plan. The Internet was really different in 2005, and the info available at my fingertips was much, much less than now. I don't even know if it was an option, then.

  • CFATS is important and should be renewed, but the wheels haven't fallen off... Yet. Most companies/ facilities expect it to be renewed and so are continuing their programs. The real issues will pop up in 12+ months if it's still not renewed then.

    Edit: typos & missing word

  • Unfortunately, this new plan seems like it'll increase my payments from about $200/mo to over $900/mo. The calculator says the $900/mo plan comes with an offer of $0 in forgiveness (and says so directly). Even if I keep the $200/mo plan and won't be fully paid off until 2046 or something (vs 2027 at $900/mo), it still offers me $0 in forgiveness.

    I still have $36k in loans and have been paying them off since 2005. I've already paid more than I've owed, due to interest. I used to be poor, but not really anymore; that kinda happens over 20 years. I suppose I can be happy everyone else, but this doesn't mean squat for folks like me.

  • These are interesting comments but they also do not motivate change: there's nothing you--the one person your are--can do because the problem is so much bigger than you are.

    • How is Resident Evil 7?

  • Haven't played it on the deck, but it's easily the best horror game of the series since the OG 1 & 2. It gives me anxiety like a proper horror experience. If you want a gory action game without anxiety, #4 remake is fantastic.

    I imagine the horror experience may be somewhat less on a tiny screen.

    • I just got my steam deck RMAed after 1.5 years. Guess what was the first thing I did when It turned on.
