Hey, student loans payments are coming back in October, you should know about the SAVE plan.
this is america-centric but pls spread this around if you think any of ur mutuals could use the info.
If you're currently shitting yourself thinking how you're gonna start making student loan payments again, I suggest taking a deep breath, first off. Get comfy, put on some music and strap in.
If you got your student loans through the Federal Student Aid program FAFSA, then you can apply for an IDR (Income Driven Repayment plan) called SAVE.
what is SAVE?
Tumblr media
This got my $115 monthly payment down to $40 a month, if you don't work or you can't afford much, this has the potential to reduce your payment even further.
Alls you need to do is go to https://studentaid.gov/idr/ and log into your federal student aid account, there's a section for both first time applicants and returning borrowers who previously may have had an IDR.
Tumblr media
Even if you've done an IDR before! Look into the SAVE plan!! It forgave about 10k of debt for me!
Anyway, first time applicants can click the first option, "Apply for an Income-Driven Repayment Plan" and just go through and answer all their prompts, make sure you have all your financial information on hand (tax returns, most recent pay stub, etc) and go through the prompts until it gives you the option to apply for the SAVE plan. CLICK IT!
It should let you know at the end exactly how much you'll be paying per month and you should get an email confirmation as well. Any account specific questions should be directed to their call center +1 (800) 433-3243
GOOD LUCK AND BE PATIENT, THE SITE IS SLOW AS SHIT.
DON'T GIVE UP! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!
if you have any questions feel free to DM me btw

Punch Out post of the day - I’m finally applying to colleges so I had to fill out FAFSA (which is a notorious nightmare), and the process took multiple days. Because FAFSA stress was mixing with a Punch Out obsession I dreamt that one of the new requirements to fill out FAFSA was to execute a perfect Hippo Manippo during a single segment speedrun of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, which, in my opinion, is only slightly more complex than the ACTUAL FAFSA requirements

The new United States FASFA is abhorrent
It's basically confusing, glitchy, and I swear it not peer reviewed
But they did that on purpose I'm sure, as the new layout and questions is set out perfectly in a way to give out as little money as possible to struggling students.

I remember that my high school guidance counselor consistently refered to FAFSA as FASFA, so maybe she wasn't the best person to take financial advice from

If you were going to need the FAFSA (Free Application For Student Aid) to help pay for college, you should definitely read this article.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY APPLY FOR SAVE BEFORE OCTOBER
I was on an income driven repayment plan that nevertheless was going to be over $200 when it came due. Under SAVE, it dropped to $32 a month. And that isn't even the important part. Y'all. Please listen. That isn't even the important part. The important part is that there's no interest, and anything you don't pay after 10+ years after your degree is forgiven.
It's LITERALLY a debt forgiveness plan. Under SAVE, I will actually pay LESS than had the $10k debt forgiveness gone through. This is... like look I know we don't like Biden on tumblr.gov, but this isn't just really good, it's also really funny.
There's *more steps* which means people who don't know won't see the benefits. There's more hassle, more bureaucracy. But it will, for a significant portion of loan holders (and especially those most vulnerable) save people more than had the debt forgiveness plan just gone through instead. So apply! Share this info with everyone you know!
