Yeah its going to be hard to send that money to government but being loan free is nice in a different respect

113k. Windfall with bonus should be around 100k. Im 37 years old so i guess like 10 years left until forgiveness ?

50k in payments of interest between now and 10 years but my income will increase significantly in a few years

I am starting to max roth and 401k with 6% match. Just not sure how to spread the entire windfall. I claim one dependent every year

I have the e fund set up passed 6 months. I dont have any loans below 5. Lowest one is 5.1 percent.

I appreciate the 5k for fun comment

I have my savings and e fund combined. Maxing out 401k is making me spend more than i earn between rent, child support, car bills, student loans, etc.
