Now that student loans are starting back up-
(The following is absolutely not art related at all)
Hey guys! Posting this here because I find it important-
Money is super scary shit and can cause a lot of anxiety, but please please for the love of god-
Do not avoid looking at your finances.
I cannot stress this enough. I'm in no real position to give any meaningful advice other than that. Keeping an eye on your finances and looking at them at least once a week will help break the cycle of money avoidance.
I spent most of my life being super money avoidant due to how I was raised and it caused me to get into a really rough patch because I straight up missed nearly a year of student loan payments. It very nearly fucked over my whole financial life. Thankfully it has a happy ending- I paid off my loans in 2019 and have effectively repaired my credit score (after a lot of work.)
I am currently helping some family members budget for student debt repayments because I had both fucked around and found out, so I'm trying to use that recovery and lessons learned to help the people in my life.
Please please please keep up to date with your own finances. Budget (it's honestly really easy even though it sounds intimidating.) Gamify it if you gotta. Just be sure you are looking at your account and are aware of your money situation at all times.

Reminder: Unsurprisingly Joe Biden failed us again, so student loan interest starts accruing again on Friday.
That means if you can, you should start paying your loans again on Friday. You aren’t required to until October, but that allows a full month of interest to accrue on your loans. If you start paying on Friday, that’s at least one less month you’ll have to pay in the future. Because Joe Biden ain’t helping you and debt forgiveness is not real for most of us.
Debt forgiveness is real if you make below $32,800/year and you should look into the SAVE plan if you do

Hey Sam, do you remember how long it took for your student loan discharge to show up on your credit report? It's been eight months and my loans are still on my credit report and I can't get Mohela to answer me about when they'll report it. I submitted a complaint to the DoE a few weeks ago, but who knows when I'll hear back. I guess I was just wondering if this type of delay is out of the ordinary.
Oh, man, it never even crossed my mind to look. My credit score was hovering around 800 when I began the loan discharge process and is now in the 810 range, so I never bothered to check. I had to go log into CreditKarma just now to see.
I think this must be backdated, but according to TransUnion, my loans were closed in September 2020. The reason this must be backdated is that my forgiveness wasn't finalized and approved until April of 2021. Like my balance didn't zero out until 2021, but the paperwork went into the system in September 2020, so presumably the closure was retroactive to that. I don't think any closed loan falls off for several years, but I don't know how they handle an open loan that you have actually discharged. I don't know what kind of delay is normal (I may have even had one myself and just not noticed).
As far as I know carrying a student loan balance doesn't have a huge impact on your credit score as long as they're not reporting you in arrears/late, so hopefully it's not killing your credit somehow. You might consider sending a registered letter to the bureaus, disputing the error; they may be able to shake that information loose from the loan administrators. In any case, good luck with it!
Readers, if you have advice please do share! Remember to comment or reblog, as I don't post asks sent in response to other asks.

Some Canadians who have turned to high-interest loans due to not qualifying for traditional credit could lose access to them as the government prepares to pass new laws targeting predatory lenders, according to the Canadian Lenders Association.
The federal government is planning to prohibit lenders from charging borrowers interest rates over 35 per cent as part of its proposed criminal interest rate regulations(opens in a new tab). The cap would be reduced from 47 per cent, and would be the first time in 44 years Ottawa changed the "criminal" rate of interest.
But the change could have "unintended consequences," said Jason Mullins, vice chair of the Canadian Lenders Association (CLA) and president and CEO of Toronto's consumer finance company goeasy Ltd. CLA represents over 300 lenders (except payday lenders). These companies serve small businesses as well as prime and non-prime Canadian consumers.
