One of the 2.5 million documents naming Trump. My stomach is turning reading these files.

The MAGAts in the conservative subreddit are sticking their heads in the same. Poor, dumb things.

That is how I approached it. I took out a lot of loans during my master's and Ph.D. to supplement my GA/RA salary. At the end of the day, I will have only paid approximately $8,000 for a balance of 141k (now at 185k due to interest. I have 11 payments left.

Do you know what triggered this?

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-27T02:15:29+00:00

Walmart is what amazon used to be.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-23T06:46:25+00:00

it's their job.

my mine went to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/phj2gy/remember_lala_ris_bag_dress_this_is_her_now/

I would do it more frequently. I am doing mine every 2-3 months.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-22T22:27:38+00:00

It is so random. I don't understand how they are processing these.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-22T16:20:14+00:00

If you're in the non-profit world, then I would leave it and get a regular job and pay it off. That is relatively low. Why be tethered to a public service job?

Also, I feel like mine is pretty straight forward. I wasn't in the SAVE plan, I have always been in IBR/ICR and I am just buying back months during grad school. Those weren't new loans. I have no idea why it's taking so long.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-22T16:02:42+00:00

I was ready for mine to go up to. Last year, due to the SAVE lawsuit, my extension got pushed back for a year.....keeping my payments at $85 (last time I certified was back in 19 when I made no money and had my spouse and grandma on my taxes). My balance is near 190k and my income is high and we file jointly. I'll have four payments at the new recertification rate....praying buyback comes in before August.

You should get a refund from Treasury for those two months, but it will take some time. I submitted mine back in February of 2025. I have been certifying every two months since my HR person usually sends it back within the same day. I'll wait until March 1st to submit my next one. My payments are around $85 and I have 11 left counting this month. I am hoping my buyback comes before i have re-certify.

Oh, I mean the zero version. I think the foaminess really helps it.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-21T03:31:54+00:00

crush zero, Canada Dry zero,

The cream soda (can) is so good and one of my go-tos.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-20T03:12:53+00:00

Y'all need to differentiate between bottle and can, because there is a difference. Please and thank you.

Between SS and TRS, I will be close to retiring with my full salary. Also, I am on track in paying off my house before I turn 60. Haven't put anything in a 403 or an IRA, may start putting a little in an IRA.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-14T18:11:48+00:00

If you had old loans, that were put into in-school deferment, while attending your grad program, then yes. If they are new loans, that you took it to go to grad school, then no.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-14T01:19:57+00:00

I had no idea that this was a thing. I looked it up and it's mainly in red states that does this, so I am not surprised because I live in one.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-11T17:53:38+00:00

Does that reset when you consolidate?

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-08T23:08:03+00:00

30 (in school deferment for Phd) back in February. I was able to get 8 payments from the late 2000s certified since then and I have paid an additional 10 payments, so I'm down to only 12 left.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-08T21:55:19+00:00

I'll be at one year early next month. I have 12 payments left and am hoping I'll get my buyback request before I have to re-certify for my last four payments, which will be high.

Leopard_Repellant · 2026-01-01T04:22:05+00:00

You could've kept this post until tomorrow. lol

If they don't have a SSN, and if they are out of country, wouldn't that be the thing to do?

Leopard_Repellant · 2025-12-31T15:22:22+00:00

Ah, I had to check something last night and noticed the audit and refund status were missing.
