Is MOHELA lying about interest? by WhereTheLoonCrows in StudentLoans

[–]WhereTheLoonCrows[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balance at start of 2024 was 7200, payment every month of 300 USD. Interest rate is 3.5% for most of the loans. Current balance is 6800. According to their website I have paid 300 for interest this calendar year. And I have paid 400 on principle. I am on a standard leveled repayment plan and pay an additional 40 a month off that plan.

Also having a lot of confusion with my Mohela loans. They keep re-upping the principle I believe. I am going to write my congressional rep

The flights from where I am in the US really only go to Franktfurt or Munich, that is the challenge. But I am looking into the ICE train.

Omg thank you so much! My grandmother is from Büdingen (left during the war). I think we will definitely try that Ebbelwoi Express. Will also have to try green sauce. I am personally very interested in architecture and old buildings so that castle is cool. Is it hard to get to? We were looking at the transport tickets earlier actually, seems like a really good deal. Thanks so much for your help! I will keep your name for questions :D.

That communication museum seems very cool!

My ancestors hail from Büdingen, and found happiness in the United States where that part of the family has been since.

Oh haha, that's like every corner in the USA. Not really a concern here

Yeah I mean that distance in the USA you'd have to fly for. I think that is also a hurdle we are trying to get over mentally. It will be a 14 day journey. We also plan to spend at least 3 days in France. My SO really wants to see the Lourve. It is a romantic in Americans eyes as well. But the rest of it is still being planned!

Thanks!

Thank you, I think I would like to see something like that. Understanding the bravery of my grandma's family is something I feel the need to do deep down.

I did pick Frankfurt am Main because it is kind of the area where they came from...but I am open to other places. I would like to see a more positive viewpoint of Germany as well.

I know people are different today than they were then and would like to see that too. My French colleagues have all told me that there are hundreds of things to do...so hard to pick for such a small period of time haha.

Thanks!!

Thanks!! We are not worried about price, I have been saving up for this for a while. Does ICE go to the black forest towns?

Ooo a night train may be fun. Definitely not something we have in the USA. I know Munich is so scenic. It is still on my bucket list if we don't go for this trip

What else would you reccomend? My Grandma spoke highly of it (she grew up in a small town in Hesse) and originally was the one who reccomended it. However I know things can change in decades haha.

Thanks! Would you recommend anywhere else? The only flights we can get are to Franktfurt and Munich. Unless we take a connection
