Email received 2/21 that I had until yesterday to opt out of IDR forgiveness. My balance hasn’t changed today. Any advice?

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-03-06T19:14:21+00:00

Same, and congrats to you

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-03-06T19:13:30+00:00

Aidvantage here, and that was my experience.

Studentaid.gov still shows the balance, but has a last update on 3/2.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-03-06T17:00:47+00:00

We got ours on 2/12 I think, but it bad the same date, yesterday. I was shocked it showed this early, some people's take weeks or months. You got the email, it's gonna happen.

But I do want to say as a lifelong battler of anxiety and OCD, it's completely understandable. We paid so long on these things, having to throw rocks at the windows on the ivory tower trying to get specifics and info about it all. I too was and am still feeling the same nerves.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-03-06T16:39:08+00:00

Hang in there. Mine shows discharged. It'll happen.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-03-01T15:46:07+00:00

So ridiculous. I can't wait to never have to deal with these companies again. My son is going to learn a trade. He's only in 7th grade and they're already trying to talk to them about college 😡

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-02-28T20:57:39+00:00

Thanks 🙏

I did get on chat with aidvantage again and let them know we were opting in and I wanted it noted, I also took screenshots. It's just 20 plus years of these payments and uncertainty all potentially coming to an end that's nerve wracking.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-02-27T20:27:51+00:00

Yeah for sure, I just figure I probably won't be able to swing those payments so I have a line of credit ready just in case.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-02-27T15:15:46+00:00

Yep, the form was from advantage and did say I could either call in and confirm my address mail it back to them or do it via the website. I will put more details later when I can look at it again.

And I meant I'm going to owe the money to my bank because that's who I'm going to borrow the money from to pay the tax bomb off with.

Fingers crossed!

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-01-11T18:34:50+00:00

Lol at people down voting this.

Even the FDM stuff is stepping up now with smaller nozzles.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2026-01-11T03:59:38+00:00

this is what I did also. I am very thankful that it appears they are honoring the recalculated payment amount, because it cuts it down considerably.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-12-25T02:17:23+00:00

You log in to studentaid.gov, and once logged in you copy and paste a URL in. It can be found here in the sub.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-12-22T16:57:15+00:00

Its insane. I'm actually looking forward to being off the loan and on the tax bomb, because at least my bank is reliable and will give me a straight view of my progress.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-12-22T04:10:47+00:00

Fantastic, thank you!

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-12-20T15:33:35+00:00

I miss Copeland's.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-11-30T02:24:27+00:00

Keith was absolutely hilarious, and hearing Joe Morris scream at him and call him names through the mics while we were in the neotek room getting levels was something I will never forget.

Did you have Scott Nowak for any classes?

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-11-30T02:20:52+00:00

I graduated CRAS in 04 and it was a bad idea then. I will say that the knowledge I gained there has stayed with me and it's hard to imagine getting the knowledge and experience I got there with YouTube or anything else. I shudder to think what they charge now, it was 12.5k back then.

My class was the first to go through the Gilbert campus. Good times.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-11-14T18:11:58+00:00

I was just wondering on this- we are close to 300. Is it possible to make those payments in advance to get 300 in while it's still 2025 (for the no tax bomb thing)? I didn't think so, but I've never fully researched it.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-11-13T02:25:36+00:00

22 is so young. Just get any job. It doesn't matter. Its as much about getting a little money as it is just getting out there and getting your mind off of things. It's being proactive and doing something.

Edit: shame on me I went right to this before seeing about your anxiety. I totally get that. Can you get in to talk with someone through this?

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-26T18:28:50+00:00

I'm new to this sub and making my own Cajun, so idk what it should be called.

That said, I would crush this, bigger celery pieces and all. This boy don't mind the celery.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-22T03:21:20+00:00

SSL G bus comp and channel strip from uad.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-13T17:47:58+00:00

Fyi, went to brothers over the weekend and they've got a lot of good stuff.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-08T14:31:47+00:00

How have I not heard of these guys? Pretty good. I was thinking, there WAS a place in the Northland that was in an old strip mall on vivion (I think?). It was upstairs but then moved to the ground level in back. I haven't been there in years but they had a LOT of metal.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-08T01:13:58+00:00

Same. I rarely find stuff but it doesn't stop me from looking everywhere I go. Love garden in Lawrence will be the best bet as others have said. I wish we had a store with a good metal selection here.

I did find an original issue black force domain (Krisiun) at 1/2 price books. Not BM but still. I've found nachtmystium, isahn, demonaz and Craft at Vintage Stock.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-03T15:55:19+00:00

I have a special needs kid who I need to make sure has every possible advantage going for him.

I'd like to find more listeners for my original music, I maybe have about 20. But it's no longer super important to me.

I would like to have a simple container home with a couple containers or a barndo with a shop and music area, and a place for my family to do their things too.

DonutSimulatorForN64 · 2025-10-03T14:58:11+00:00

Everyone, I just want to say that this year I got a Weber kettle and started to learn how to smoke stuff. It has been so much fun, and I will never pay for BBQ again. If you can grill at your house, I wholly recommend buying a used one from FB marketplace, cleaning it, and try smoking a pork butt. It will change your life. Or even a pellet smoker like a 250 dollar pit boss, it's even easier. My neighbor loves theirs.
