�33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreWhen I consolidated my loans, they ballooned from $165,000 to over $265,000. I am losing sleep at night. I feel like I wasn't given fair information about how my loans would changed due to consolidation. The promise of PSLF continues to weigh on me emotionally because the program continues to change in ways that make me feel like they don't want to follow through with the program. I am constantly anxious when I log into StudentAid.gov and my questions about payment status, PSLF, student loan payment buyback, etc or not being answered timely. I'm frustrated at the lack of progress and�l�U0

�33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreThe emotional impact of my student loan debt has been overwhelming and all-consuming. What should have been a path toward public service and stability has instead created a constant sense of fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. With payments increasing by 566%, I feel like every aspect of my life is being put on hold.

I have not been able to even consider starting a family because I cannot imagine how I could provide for children when my loan payments consume such a disproportionate share of my income. I cannot buy a home, even a modest one, and remain living at home in order to help care for my disabled family members while trying to keep up with these debts. I have also had to pass up opportunities for more fulfilling or impactful work, because public service jobs already pay below a living wage, and the weight of these loans forces me to prioritize financial survival over professional growth or passion.

The constant burden of this debt has taken a serious toll on my mental health. The stress and uncertainty make it difficult to plan for the future, and I often feel like I am falling further behind in life compared to my peers. It has strained relationships as well—I feel guilty for not being able to contribute equally or pursue milestones like marriage, children, or homeownership.

Instead of feeling proud of my years of public service, I feel punished for choosing this path.

First and foremost, I would be able to start a family of my own. Like many of my peers, I have put off having children because I cannot financially support them under my current debt load. The federal government has rightly recognized the need to encourage family growth, but for borrowers like me, student loans have made that impossible.

I would also be able to pursue the most traditional markers of stability and upward mobility—saving for a home, building retirement security, and contributing more meaningfully to my community. Instead, I remain living at home supporting two disabled parents and a disabled sibling, with no chance of homeownership or independence while my loan payments rise over 566.5%.

I cannot help but notice the inequities: businesses had PPP loans forgiven, and certain federal agencies now offer student loan forgiveness as recruitment tools.

Instead, I remain living at home supporting two disabled parents and a disabled sibling, with no chance of homeownership or independence while my loan payments rise over 566.5%.\n\nIf relieved of these unsustainable payments, I would also have the freedom to remain in public service—work that aligns with federal goals of ensuring health, safety, and justice. Without relief, many public servants like me are being forced out of the very careers the federal government depends on to function.\n\nI cannot help but notice the inequities: businesses had PPP loans forgiven, and certain federal agencies now offer student loan forgiveness as recruitment tools. Yet those of us who already answered the call to public service, and who remain in it despite low pay, are denied the same fairness. Why is it constitutional to forgive loans for business owners or incentivize ICE recruitment with forgiveness, but unconstitutional to do the same for public servants across the board?\n\nWithout these payments, I would be investing in the exact things the federal government says it wants to encourage: family, housing, health, and long-term economic stability.","story":"","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Strongly agree – I am much more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, but I do not plan on taking action","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"1/1/0001 0:00:00","candidate_score":80,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:182026-03-12 18:09:18

�a33$12,001 - $22,000.�U�$12,001 - $22,000I went into public service with the intent that my loans would be forgiven by now. The program is so confusing the services give me the run around all the time. There’s constant swings on guidance then changes and it just feels like no relief in sight. I’m unable to really invest in my future because the debt relief I was promised was not fulfilled. I feel like I was targeted as a student with no financial literacy due to my cultural background. I thought we were the generation that would fulfill our parents dreams but I’m stuck in student debt in a low paying job. I choose to still believe there will be positive improvements to PSLF and I enjoy the education field but the PSLF program in its entirety has really set me back.Food (grocerieP�A�1

I am almost 61 years old and ready to retire but I'll never be able to because of these loans. By eliminating the SAVE program, I'm doomed. What do I do?

After years of promises for comprehensive student loan forgiveness, the government's most ambitious plan was struck down by the Supreme Court, leaving millions of borrowers in limbo. This defeat was more than a legal setback; it was a powerful symbol of how a bipartisan problem has been co-opted for political gain, with both sides failing to deliver a meaningful and lasting solution.\n\nInstead of broad-based forgiveness, the focus has pivoted to complex and convoluted repayment programs like the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan. While these plans are presented as a lifeline, they have become mired in administrative and legal challenges. Lawsuits have repeatedly thrown their implementation into disarray, creating a climate of confusion and financial uncertainty for borrowers. The constant back-and-forth between federal courts and the Department of Education demonstrates a fundamental lack of consensus and a willingness to use the issue as a political football, rather than a matter of urgent public concern. Borrowers, who were promised relief, are instead forced to navigate a labyrinth of ever-changing rules, forbearances, and a renewed onslaught of interest accrual.\n\nThis inability to enact a stable, effective solution is corrosive to public trust. It showcases a government that can promise grand change but cannot execute it, leaving everyday citizens to pay the price. The student debt crisis has been transformed from a solvable economic problem into a political tool, with each new policy change serving more as a talking point than as a genuine attempt at relief. The result is a generation of borrowers who are not just financially indebted, but also deeply cynical about the government’s capacity to address major societal challenges. They see that the promises made during a campaign are easily undone by court rulings and bureaucratic infighting, making it impossible to believe that a meaningful path forward exists.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly agree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I have an application pending to switch repayment plans","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"","submitted_at":"8/20/2025 20:45:29","candidate_score":70,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:182026-03-12 18:09:18

�u33$100,001 - $150,000��I�$100,001 - $150,000Carrying this student loan debt has taken a heavy emotional toll. I’ve spent years working in public service with the promise of eventual forgiveness through PSLF, but the ongoing administrative errors, delays, and constant changes to repayment plans have left me feeling anxious, powerless, and distrustful of the system. Instead of feeling stable in my career choice, I constantly worry about whether my progress will be recognized or erased due to technicalities.

The stress bleeds into other areas of my life. I experience increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and periods of depression directly tied to the uncertainty of my loans. It also strains my relationships—financial insecurity makes it harder to plan a future, contribute fully at home, or feel like I can invest in my well-being.

Most difficult of all, it feels demoralizing. I chose public service because I believe in helping people, but instead of being supported, I often feel punished for that choice. The debt has become not just a financial burden, but an ongoing source of emotional distress that impacts my mental health, my relationships, and my quality of life.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investmentsIf I did not have to make student loan payments, I would use that money to meet essential needs and build a stable financial future. Right now, student loans consume income that could otherwise go toward reducing everyday stressors and investing in my well-being.

Specifically, I would allocate the funds toward:

Basic living costs (housing, utilities, and groceries), which would provide immediate relief and stability.

Healthcare expenses and mental health support, which are often delayed or sacrificed because of loan payments.

Emergency savings and retirement contributions, so I could feel secure about the future instead of constantly behind.

Home and family needs, such as maintaining my house, supporting loved ones, and covering unexpected costs without turning to credit.

Freeing up this money would allow me to focus more on my work and community without the constant financial anxiety that debt brings. Instead of loans dictating my financial priorities, I would finally be able to create stability and invest in a healthier, more sustainable future.Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct ConsolidationSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$02010-2015UA{"id":1626,"first_name":"","last_name":"","email":"","zip_code":"","age":"","marital_status":"","household_size":"","employment":"","race_ethnicity":"","gender":"","education":"","income_raw":"","income_type":"","income_range":"","income_amount_low":0,"income_amount_high":0,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct Consolidation","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate","Federal Direct Consolidation"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":true,"first_loan_year":"2010-2015","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valua�

�o33$100,001 - $150,000��I�$100,001 - $150,000Carrying this student loan debt has taken a heavy emotional toll. I’ve spent years working in public service with the promise of eventual forgiveness through PSLF, but the ongoing administrative errors, delays, and constant changes to repayment plans have left me feeling anxious, powerless, and distrustful of the system. Instead of feeling stable in my career choice, I constantly worry about whether my progress will be recognized or erased due to technicalities.

The stress bleeds into other areas of my life. I experience increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and periods of depression directly tied to the uncertainty of my loans. It also strains my relationships—financial insecurity makes it harder to plan a future, contribute fully at home, or feel like I can invest in my well-being.

Most difficult of all, it feels demoralizing. I chose public service because I believe in helping people, but instead of being supported, I often feel punished for that choice. The debt has become not just a financial burden, but an ongoing source of emotional distress that impacts my mental health, my relationships, and my quality of life.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investmentsIf I did not have to make student loan payments, I would use that money to meet essential needs and build a stable financial future. Right now, student loans consume income that could otherwise go toward reducing everyday stressors and investing in my well-being.

Specifically, I would allocate the funds toward:

Basic living costs (housing, utilities, and groceries), which would provide immediate relief and stability.

Healthcare expenses and mental health support, which are often delayed or sacrificed because of loan payments.

Emergency savings and retirement contributions, so I could feel secure about the future instead of constantly behind.

Home and family needs, such as maintaining my house, supporting loved ones, and covering unexpected costs without turning to credit.

Freeing up this money would allow me to focus more on my work and community without the constant financial anxiety that debt brings. Instead of loans dictating my financial priorities, I would finally be able to create stability and invest in a healthier, more sustainable future.Yes, I vote in every or almost every electionFederal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct ConsolidationSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$02010-2015ZA{"id":1646,"first_name":"","last_name":"","email":"","zip_code":"","age":"","marital_status":"","household_size":"","employment":"","race_ethnicity":"","gender":"","education":"","income_raw":"","income_type":"","income_range":"","income_amount_low":0,"income_amount_high":0,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct Consolidation","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate","Federal Direct Consolidation"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":true,"first_loan_year":"2010-2015","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)","monthly_payment":"$0","repayment_status":"My loans are in a forbearance or deferment (NOT including in�

I’ve spent years working in public service with the promise of eventual forgiveness through PSLF, but the ongoing administrative errors, delays, and constant changes to repayment plans have left me feeling anxious, powerless, and distrustful of the system. Instead of feeling stable in my career choice, I constantly worry about whether my progress will be recognized or erased due to technicalities.\n\nThe stress bleeds into other areas of my life. I experience increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and periods of depression directly tied to the uncertainty of my loans. It also strains my relationships—financial insecurity makes it harder to plan a future, contribute fully at home, or feel like I can invest in my well-being.\n\nMost difficult of all, it feels demoralizing. I chose public service because I believe in helping people, but instead of being supported, I often feel punished for that choice. The debt has become not just a financial burden, but an ongoing source of emotional distress that impacts my mental health, my relationships, and my quality of life.","affordability_impacts_raw":"Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments","affordability_list":["Food (groceries","eating out","take out)","Healthcare or medicine","Rent or Mortgage","Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas","electricity","cable","internet","cellphone)","Vehicle payments","Paying down credit cards or other debts","Financially support family or friends","Savings","retirement","or investments"],"affordability_count":16,"aff_food":true,"aff_healthcare":true,"aff_housing":true,"aff_savings":true,"aff_childcare":false,"aff_education":false,"aff_debt":true,"aff_charity":false,"alt_spending":"If I did not have to make student loan payments, I would use that money to meet essential needs and build a stable financial future. Right now, student loans consume income that could otherwise go toward reducing everyday stressors and investing in my well-being.\n\nSpecifically, I would allocate the funds toward:\n\nBasic living costs (housing, utilities, and groceries), which would provide immediate relief and stability.\n\nHealthcare expenses and mental health support, which are often delayed or sacrificed because of loan payments.\n\nEmergency savings and retirement contributions, so I could feel secure about the future instead of constantly behind.\n\nHome and family needs, such as maintaining my house, supporting loved ones, and covering unexpected costs without turning to credit.\n\nFreeing up this money would allow me to focus more on my work and community without the constant financial anxiety that debt brings. Instead of loans dictating my financial priorities, I would finally be able to create stability and invest in a healthier, more sustainable future.","story":"","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Strongly agree – I am much more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"1/1/0001 0:00:00","candidate_score":90,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:182026-03-12 18:09:18

�g33$22,001 - $40,000U��@$22,001 - $40,000The current status of Dept of Ed & Student loans is causing great anxiety. Interest is calculated daily like a credit card and not like a mortgage, so the balance grows high very quickly. Now they are phasing out affordable payment plans and if you can't afford the payment, they will garnish your wages. It's clear that this current Dept of Ed wants people to default on their loans.
Why is no one talking about how interest is being calculated?!
Now they want to take away PSLF. People were promised PSLF prior to taking out loans, if they worked in certain low paying public service jobs and now they are going back on their promise?
These rich, inexperienced people running the Dept of Ed are completely out of touch and cruelty is their point.
I have no idea what plan I can even sign up for. Studentaid.gov provides conflicting info from what Mohela provides.
The domino effect they are creating is extremely alarming. I would move out of the country, if I could.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retire�

I only have 8 more months left before my PSLF loans will be forgiven. I have no idea what is going on. My plans went into deferment, but I still pay, but have no idea if they are counted. I had a mastectomy in October 2024 and when that happened apparently a lot of changes were made to the program. I have turned in form after form showing I am still employed at a PSLF institution, but it always said my PSLF forms are processing and sometimes it says I'm not eligible. When I go to my MOHELA account, it tells me I need to check with FedLoan for processing. Then when I go to FedLoan, it tells me to check with MOHELA for processing....None of it makes sense and I am so stressed out about this.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Childcare (formal facility, paying family or caregiver directly), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (n�T�3

I’m a retired educator and still have to work before I pay my loans there is no way I can pay this new amount! We will go bankrupt or homeless. It’s CRAZY! It keeps me up at night, I have so much anxiety. I’ve worked really hard to now have excellent credit the thought of these loans ruining that because I can’t pay literally makes me sick to my stomach.

Not only with just the sheer financial burden but the ever changing and unclear rules. Imagine starting a football game and at half time the rules are all changed. How is someone expected to navigate it. The thought of even attempting to call my lender or department of education gives me anxiety as I know that getting through to someone will takes hours of waiting on the phone. Once you do get someone you are given different responses to the same questions. It is not only frustrating but disheartening. I am working toward PSLF as I have been a teacher for seven years and now work at a state university. The fact that the time I have been on forced deferment due to the SAVE plan that has been in the courts meant that my time did not count towards PSLF is just downright criminal. That our country’s own Department of Education does not value teachers fills me with great sadness.

�%33$40,001 - $60,000�A�`$40,001 - $60,000The student loans have made a huge impact to me and my family emotionally. Not only with just the sheer financial burden but the ever changing and unclear rules. Imagine starting a football game and at half time the rules are all changed. How is someone expected to navigate it. The thought of even attempting to call my lender or department of education gives me anxiety as I know that getting through to someone will takes hours of waiting on the phone. Once you do get someone you are given different responses to the same questions. It is not only frustrating but disheartening. I am working toward PSLF as I have been a teacher for seven years and now work at a state university. The fact that the time I have been on forced deferment due to the SAVE plan that has been in the courts meant that my time did not count towards PSLF is just downright criminal. That our country’s own Department of Education does not value teachers fills me with great sadness. I do not even know what to go or what to do regarding these loans anymore as the new projected payment outside of the SAVE plan is ridiculously more than I am able to afford. I will likely have to default as it would mean choosing food and necessities over paying.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Tuition or school supplies, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investmentsWe would be able to buy a home, possibly a new vehicle and just spend money on things like eating out, shopping, etc. I cannot comprehend how a party/government that portrays itself as supporting small businesses and the economy cannot grasp how the extra cash flow would mean more spent by consumers that would help businesses.Yes, I vote in every or almost every electionFederal Direct ConsolidationSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$101 - $300Prior to 1998UA{"id":2052,"first_name":"","last_name":"","email":"","zip_code":"","age":"","marital_status":"","household_size":"","eh

I became an attorney and took on substantial student loan debt to do so, because I wanted to serve the public. I do that now in my role, but public servant salaries are substantially lower than the private sector. But to be frank, the loans would be exponentially more expensive if I moved to the private sector. Either way, I am screwed - especially if PSLF is at risk.Childcare (formal facility, paying family or caregiver directly), Healthcare or medicine, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments, Tuition or school suppliesIn the absence of student loan obligations, I would be able to afford to buy a home again.

I had no clue what I was getting into with taking on student loans. I graduated 10 years ago with $35,000 in debt and even while making payments (set by my servicer), I was not even matching the interest which has resulted in my loans growing to $45,000 now. I have applied to get into repayment but can't get in touch with anyone to get answers. I have submitted multiple reconsideration requests, I have called so many times to try to get an understanding of why payments are missing or why certain periods of repayment are missing but no one seems to have answers. It has been emotionally and mentally exhausting to try to stay on top of all the changes, get my needs met, and do the right thing. I took loans with the intent of paying them but my hands are tied when I call Fed Aid and the phone prompts take you in circles and won't allow you to talk to anyone and they never respond to emails. My application to reenter payment was submitted way over 90 days ago and I have not heard anything. How are we supposed to do the right thing and pay our loans if there is no one to process the paper work and no one to talk to?

I received a full scholarship to attend my local community college  so no debt for first 2 years. That loan was easy for me to pay back and affordable. Fast forward to the Great Recession where I was one of the long-term unemployed and I lost everything, all my assets. I moved from Chicago to NW Arkansas to start over. I decided to go back to school. I went to a community college for classes to get into nursing school. I was accepted but changed my mind to pursue microbiology instead. I graduated with another associates degree in 2013. This time my loans were $16k and they have now ballooned to $25k due to interest! I was placed in a SAVE and still in forbearance but now interest started again and that debt is rising. I applied through Savi, offered through the NEA, and my app to switch to IBR is still pending since June. I am teaching school again and am eligible for PLSF but have not been able to pay anything towards that. At this point, with me being 8 years from retirement, I am giving up hope. I recently did my estate planning and I am very concerned that the government will use probate8

While I am able to cover the cost of my education, the burden of over $300,000 to become a psychologist, coupled with the constant criticism of seeking financial assistance, is overwhelming. It is terrible to know this is in the hands of others that do not seem to know my story or how this impacts me. Why do we want to do this to students that want to help others for a living. \nFurthermore, I have accrued interest on my loans while working as a postdoctoral intern, and my loans were automatically transitioned to the SAVE plan, I had no say and even if I did they took away the plan I was on. Unfortunately, my current plan is scheduled to be discontinued. I am seeking alternative loan options that offer income-based repayment plans with the flexibility to adjust the term as I progress in my repayment journey. If such a situation were to occur with mortgages, class-action lawyers would likely pursue legal action. I had an agreement and I had no idea acts of congress were able to change binding agreements that were signed over a decade ago.

While I am able to cover the cost of my education, the burden of over $300,000 to become a psychologist, coupled with the constant criticism of seeking financial assistance, is overwhelming. It is terrible to know this is in the hands of others that do not seem to know my story or how this impacts me. Why do we want to do this to students that want to help others for a living. 
Furthermore, I have accrued interest on my loans while working as a postdoctoral intern, and my loans were automatically transitioned to the SAVE plan, I had no say and even if I did they took away the plan I was on. Unfortunately, my current plan is scheduled to be discontinued. I am seeking alternative loan options that offer income-based repayment plans with the flexibility to adjust the term as I progress in my repayment journey. If such a situation were to occur with mortgages, class-action lawyers would likely pursue legal action. I had an agreement and I had no idea acts of congress were able to change binding agreements that were signed over a decade ago. We are not going to have doctors soon if we keep doing this to front line workers and health care workers.Childcare (formal facility, paying family or caregiver directly), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments

I received a full scholarship to attend my local community college  so no debt for first 2 years. That loan was easy for me to pay back and affordable. Fast forward to the Great Recession where I was one of the long-term unemployed and I lost everything, all my assets. I moved from Chicago to NW Arkansas to start over. I decided to go back to school. I went to a community college for classes to get into nursing school. I was accepted but changed my mind to pursue microbiology instead. I graduated with another associates degree in 2013. This time my loans were $16k and they have now ballooned to $25k due to interest! I was placed in a SAVE and still in forbearance but now interest started again and that debt is rising. I applied through Savi, offered through the NEA, and my app to switch to IBR is still pending since June. I am teaching school again and am eligible for PLSF but have not been able to pay anything towards that. At this point, with me being 8 years from retirement, I am giving up hope. I recently did my estate planning and I am very concerned that the government will use probate to take all of my retirement money after I die and my loved ones will get nothing.

�m33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreOver the past few months, I have encountered numerous challenges. I was previously unaware of the  application for the Sweet vs Cordova (now different name). Additionally, there were difficulties submitting my application, as I had to complete the form three times before it was accepted. Consequently, I was six or seven days late, which was considered post-class. Currently, I am waiting on that answer as if my life depends on it as it affects my entire family which they did not sign up for. This is causing significant stress. Furthermore, I am being charged interest on my loan, due to SAVE being in courts. How is ok to charge interst when my only option for a plan would more than triple my monthly payment. It say the average American will pay 250-300 more a month, I would be paying 700-1300 more a month. My most recent payment amount was approximately $684.
Upon reviewing the new plans, I discovered that I will be required to pay approximately $2,000 per month on the option now available to stay on an income based plan, which I need to do to as my loans will be written off in 9 years and six months if borrowers defense does not clear me 100% in post class. It is important to note that my current GIloans exceed $300,000. While I was enrolled on the income-based plan, the loans balance did not decrease in all my years of paying.  Despite having good credit and loans in good standing, I am unable to afford the monthly payment of $2,000 without harming my family.
Although I have paid the full cost of my schooling during the years I have been paying off my student loans, the accumulation of interest has substantially increased my debt. While I am able to cover the cost of my education, the burden of over $300,000 to become a psychologist, coupled with the constant criticism of seeking financial assistance, is overwhelming. It is terrible to know this is in the hands of others that do not seem to know my story or how this impacts me. Why do we want to do this to students that want to help others for a living. 
Furthermore, I have accrued interest on my loans while working as a postdoctoral intern, and my loans were automatically transitioned to the SAVE plan, I had no say and even if I did they took away the plan I was on. Unfortunately, my current plan is scheduled to be discontinued. I am seeking alternative loan options that offer income-based repayment plans with the flexibility to adjust the term as I progress in my repayment journey. If such a situation were to occur with mortgages, class-action lawyers would likely pursue legal action. I had an agreement and I had no idea acts of congress were able to change binding agreements that were signed over a decade ago. We are not going to have doctors soon if we keep doing this to front line workers and health care workers.Childcare (formal facility, paying family or caregiver directly), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments

My wife and I are both educators. We both have student loans and can barely afford to live as it is with no payments going out. We have no idea how we will be able to afford student loans. As special education teachers, along with a daughter who works in special education and another daughter who is a social worker, we took careers trying to help people. Now we are stuck deciding between paying the $3500 mortgage on a mobile home or paying off student loans. We lose either way. If we choose to pay the mortgage we get our wages garnished.. And then can't pay the bills anyway.. It's a terrible play to be. Cost of living has tripled in the past 5 years. We can't survive this way.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments, Healthcare or medicineWe can barely survive while in deferment. Not having payments just barely keeps us afloat. My car is 20 years old. My house is a mobile home in the boonies. We make decent money. Everything else is just far too high. I'm a first time home owner at 46..snd my mortgage rate (VA loan) makes my mortgage almost 3500 because of the high percentage. Food costs, over 1200 per month, even with budgeting.. I drive 3 hours daily just to work.. Gas is over 5 dollars per gallon. It's all completely miserable.I explained this above. I have now ah of paying back these loans with our current economic status. The cost of living is too high and wage increases can't keep up with inflation and corporate/government greed.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, on social media, Yes, with pressYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteMaleMarried4Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct Consolidation, Parent PLUS, Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$1,001+2010-2015dA{"id":2328,"first_name":"Paul","last_name":"Deaton","email":"cali4nia_powder@hotmail.com","zip_code":"98355","age":"46-55","marital_status":"Married","household_size":"4","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Male","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Household - More than 100,000","income_type":"Household","income_range":"More than 100,000","income_amount_low":100000,"income_amount_high":999999,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Ds

Anytime I log in or read about changes I'm filled with anxiety and anger. I owe more than I originally borrowed because of interest and it's infuriating. With the pandemic and then the SAVE litigation I've rarely had payments due in the last several years and we already live paycheck to paycheck due to childcare costs. I'm very stressed about what my monthly payment will be and I highly doubt we'll be able to afford it. My husband is in a similar situation. He owes more than 20k than what he originally borrowed. It's ridiculous.Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsPaying down other debt, putting more into our daughters savings account and our retirement savings.I am a first generation college student. I did not get enough financial aid through FASFA because at the time my dads $65k per year salary was above poverty levels and did not qualify even though my family was far from being able to afford college tuition. I went t{}o sign up for classes and my college informed me I didn't have enough aid and in order to sign up and start school I had to take out private student loans. It was very stressful and confusing to both my parents and I, however, that's what we did. So I had to have federal and private student loans to get my bachelors degree in social work. I graduated with a BSW with around 30k of debt to get a case manager job of $12/hour. I went back to school for my graduate degree and had to take out another $18k for an accelerated masters program that I qualified for based on my undergrad gpa. Around tbis time, is when they passed the public student loan forgiveness program which initially gave me optimism. I continued to serve my community via public and community mental health programs. While my loan balance continued to increase due to interest charges that were far beyond my IBR payments since I was making between $45k and 50k per year as a social worker with a graduate degree. Most other health professionals with graduate degrees make 6 figures. Anywho, when lawsuits started happening for the first wave of 10 years of PSLF qualifying (teachers etc) I realized I wasn't going to count on PSLF ever happening for me and wanted to pursue a higher income which meant leaving public and community mental health for private practice. I had renewed hope with the SAVE program, however, now that's gone or will be soon. It all feels so hopeless. I do not understand why congress hasn't introduced a permanent 0% interest on loans, and just have student borrowers pay back the exact dollar they borrowed for school. Many people in my position are willing to pay back what we actually borrowed dollar for dollar to earn our degree. I wish interest charges would be deducted from balances, payments made on the life of the loan count, and then re configure what is still owed. It seems the most equitable, reasonable and straight forward way to manage this for everyone involved. Otherwise I fear myself and everyone else will be indebted with student loan debt until we die. Which is no way to live when the majority of us are contributing to this capitalistic society.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, on social media, Yes, with pressYes, I vote in every or almost every electionSelf-employedGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleMarried3Federal Direct ConsolidationSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)I don’t know2004-2009dA{"id":2337,"first_name":"Rachael","last_name":"Mathiak","email":"rmull73@gmail.com","zip_code":"49505","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Married","household_size":"3","employment":"Self-employed","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Female","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Individual - 80,000-100,000","income_type":"Individual","income_range":"80,000-100,000","income_amount_low":80000,"income_amount_high":100000,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Consolidation","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Consolidation"],"has_undergraduate":false,"has_graduate":false,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":true,"first_loan_year":"2004-2009","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)","monthly_payment":"I don’t know","repayment_status":"My loans are in a forbearance or deferment (NOT including in-school deferment)","amount_owed_raw":"$40,001 - $60,000","amount_low":40001,"amount_high":60000,"amount_display":"$40,001 - $60,000","emotional_impact":"It is a constant nagging stress.

Currently, I am waiting on that answer as if my life depends on it as it affects my entire family which they did not sign up for. This is causing significant stress. Furthermore, I am being charged interest on my loan, due to SAVE being in courts. How is ok to charge interst when my only option for a plan would more than triple my monthly payment. It say the average American will pay 250-300 more a month, I would be paying 700-1300 more a month. My most recent payment amount was approximately $684.
Upon reviewing the new plans, I discovered that I will be required to pay approximately $2,000 per month on the option now available to stay on an income based plan, which I need to do to as my loans will be written off in 9 years and six months if borrowers defense does not clear me 100% in post class. It is important to note that my current loans exceed $300,000. While I was enrolled on the income-based plan, the loans balance did not decrease in all my years of paying.  Despite having good credit and loans in good standing, I am unable to afford the monthly payment of $2,000 without harming my family.
Although I have paid the full cost of my schooling during the years I have been paying off my student loans, the accumulation of interest has substantially increased my debt. While I am able to cover the cost of my education, the burden of over $300,000 to become a psychologist, coupled with the constant criticism of seeking financial assistance, is overwhelming. It is terrible to know this is in the hands of others that do not seem to know my story or how this impacts me. Why do we want to do this to students that want to help others for a living. 
Furthermore, I have accrued interest on my loans while working as a postdoctoral intern, and my loans were automatically transitioned to the SAVE plan, I had no say and even if I did they took away the plan I was on. Unfortunately, my current plan is scheduled to be discontinued. I am seeking alternative loan options that offer income-based repayment plans with the flexibility to adjust the term as I progress in my repayment journey. If such a situation were to occur with mortgages, class-action lawyers would likely pursue legal action.

I have been saddled with dishonest loan servicers and had to fight their dishonest practices. I struggled to make enough money to pay on a regular basis for years. Being a senior citizen now, this is a constant worry for me. I am current on my student loans at this time, but the daily worry of never being able to truly retire and afford my necessities is frightening.

�]33$100,001 - $150,000��I�$100,001 - $150,000At this point I don't know how I will cover the monthly payment. I'm 63 years old, single and have worked full time for the same company for the past 14 years but my income (though extremely modest) is capped out on my employer's pay scale. I do have health insurance, which is one reason I've remained at this job. At this age, changing jobs (let alone careers) has proven very challenging. The student aid.gov loan simulator estimated my new payments at $279/mo. With a $45000 annual income monthly apt rent (500 sq ft studio in SW WA state) increasing this fall to $1100/mo, I will need to borrow money to cover these increased costs. Under the SAVE plan, my monthly payment was $0 as my debt to income ratio was so high and I was on track for the balance to be forgiven via IDR forgiveness in 4 years and 10 months as of Feb 2025. Since SAVE was dismantled and interest has begun to accrue, I was encouraged by EdFinancial staff to switch to another repayment plan to avoid a ballooning balance. Since the RAP will not be available until a year from now, the only other option remotely practical was the IBR plan. I have applied and am awaiting response. This will be the highest student loan payment i have ever had. Recent changes made in the repayment system have completely undone the one window of opportunity I had to relieve myself of student loan debt. I have nothing saved for retirement and own no property.

I'm 63 years old, single and have worked full time for the same company for the past 14 years but my income (though extremely modest) is capped out on my employer's pay scale. I do have health insurance, which is one reason I've remained at this job. At this age, changing jobs (let alone careers) has proven very challenging. The student aid.gov loan simulator estimated my new payments at $279/mo. With a $45000 annual income monthly apt rent (500 sq ft studio in SW WA state) increasing this fall to $1100/mo, I will need to borrow money to cover these increased costs. Under the SAVE plan, my monthly payment was $0 as my debt to income ratio was so high and I was on track for the balance to be forgiven via IDR forgiveness in 4 years and 10 months as of Feb 2025. Since SAVE was dismantled and interest has begun to accrue, I was encouraged by EdFinancial staff to switch to another repayment plan to avoid a ballooning balance. Since the RAP will not be available until a year from now, the only other option remotely practical was the IBR plan. I have applied and am awaiting response. This will be the highest student loan payment i have ever had. Recent changes made in the repayment system have completely undone the one window of opportunity I had to relieve myself of student loan debt. I have nothing saved for retirement and own no property. My physical and mental health have been adversely affected by emotional stress from the uncertainty and the sense of dread, shame, and hopelessness I feel at all times. I have forgone health care, traveling out of state to family gatherings, nearly all social gatherings, basic necessities such as clothing and even at times food as I've tried to pay off as much credit card debt (O percent interest promo rates) as possible before the new payments take effect.

I applied for IDR plan in late Feb 2025 and the FSA payment estimator showed that I had already made over the 250 qualifying payments, but now I am still in a SAVE fore	�	�bearance, and have started paying interest only on my loan. I don't qualify for PSLF or the IBR (to my knowledge). The uncertainty of any hope of forgiveness is fading fast.Savings, retirement, or investmentsPutting the payments toward any debt, and/or putting the money into a high yield savings account for my future.I received my first undergraduate loans starting in 1990, and after I graduated in 1995, I started paying my loans through Sallie Mae, until 2005, when I started graduate school full time. I graduated in 2007, just in time for the economic collapse, and did not have a job for 2 years. After I finally got a low income full time job in 2009, I consolidated my loans to Nelnet servicing (not affiliated with FSA) and was trying to pay them regularly, but had to put in for economic hardship for several long periods of time due to living alone and being unable to afford the payment because I was living paycheck to paycheck up until around 2014. I got a new job, but still had to delay payments a few times so I could deal with other debt, until I was consistently paying every month since 2016. I have not  been able to get ahead with my debt due to the cost of healthcare/rent/food and other needs. I found out about the forgiveness program, and how I could apply though the media, but ultimately learned more in depth about loan forgiveness through the SDCC emails and seminars. I got on a Nelnet federal loan service standard repayment plan last April and was planning to switch to an IDR plan before the end of the year, but due to the loss of my mother, I did not look at anything until the very end of 2024. I was a bit confused with what I should do because of the new administration, so I was able to schedule a one on one meeting with one of the fantastic SDCC members, who advised me to go to the FSA and look at what IDR programs I could apply to. It turned out I had over the 250 number of payments to qualify, and so I applied and got put into the SAVE forbearance by default. Because the government has done everything to sabotage any forgiveness program, and ended the 0% interest with forbearance August 1st, I am now paying interest only so my overall balance does not got up even more.  I have been paying this debt in one way or another for over 25 years, and because of loan servicers abusing the system, I have more debt than I originally came out of grad school with. I am in a limbo of uncertainty, and I stress and cry at what might have been.

�33$80,001 - $100,0008���$80,001 - $100,000It seems there is no real concern on how the loans are affecting people-The save plan made it so people could pay their loans an have a quality of life - and be able to participate in stimulating the economy while taking care of basic needs. The argument was that people were getting away with not having to pay their loans when in fact people were paying their loans but at an affordable cost- now with rising costs in every single area of living plus student loan payments changing- to higher payments people will be in more duress than before- it seems this is the plan-
What else can be said if they are refusing to have the empathy and compassion to allow people to pay what is truly feasible to them? 
Student loans are the only loans that are with a person forever-no matter what? So why is it difficult to allow people to pay what is truly feasible to them with all the rising costs, employment issues, and every other deterrent to the high cost of the loans and interest that is attached-I can guarantee that if I could have found employment with a decent wage that would have provided for my needs I would have never chose college.  However, over the years in the job market I was always told a degree was needed for entry level jobs.

However, over the years in the job market I was always told a degree was needed for entry level jobs. \nNow that I have a degree - I have an entry level job that does not pay what my degree says I shove making- \nThis is a terrible thing that may find themselves in-\nBut now you hear- “ pay what you owe” no matter what is explained or said it falls on ears that will not hear and minds that choose not to understand this plight- what else can be said when those who have soooo much can’t comprehend those who just want to be able to work at a meaningful job with benefits and great pay so they can pay all their bills and their school loans.","affordability_impacts_raw":"Savings, retirement, or investments, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Healthcare or medicine","affordability_list":["Savings","retirement","or investments","Food (groceries","eating out","take out)","Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas","electricity","cable","internet","cellphone)","Healthcare or medicine"],"affordability_count":12,"aff_food":true,"aff_healthcare":true,"aff_housing":false,"aff_savings":true,"aff_childcare":false,"aff_education":false,"aff_debt":false,"aff_charity":false,"alt_spending":"I don’t want to not have payments but - a choice on my payment amount would help","story":"","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, but I usually only vote in major elections (like presidential or midterms)","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Maybe","civic_action_impact":"Somewhat agree – I am somewhat more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Somewhat agree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Income Driven Repayment (IDR) loan forgiveness after a certain number of repayment years (e.g. 20–25 years)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"1/1/0001 0:00:00","candidate_score":75,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

�S33$22,001 - $40,000U��@$22,001 - $40,000Very large.  I was sold a a lie that I needed to go to college to be successful.  I would be doing just fine without a degree right now if I hadn't wasted my time trying to go to college and incurring debt.  Because of the way my life went, I was not able to finish my degree.  So now I'm paying for something I didn't get because the adults around me told me when I was only 18 that I needed to go to college or I would not be able to get a job.  If that is really what is required, then high school is no longer the bare minimum.  College should be free to students if the minimum requirement is to have a bachelor's degree.  I didn't have the luxury of not working while going to school because I tried to do the responsible thing and keep cost in mind.  That made it so that I was not able to fully focus on my studies.  Give all students the same chance and remove the barrier of price if a college degree is now what is needed to be setup for success.  Even better, make people who can afford college take on a part time job in retail or the service industry while they do it and make it so that their continued admission to college is dependent on positive employment reviews.  So many privileged folks don't understand what it really is to work, to struggle, and to have to keep a plastic smile the whole time.  It might make them remember that we are all people and that the only thing that they have going for them is the luck of being born in a higher class.  Sure, they may be working just as hard as anyone else.  But it's a lot easier for the marathon runner to be handed a baton and keep the race going when their family has already run a lot of the race for them.  They only have to run maybe half as far on fresh legs while the rest of us just started and only have a busted up pair of hand me down off brand sneakers to run a race that started yesterday.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Savings, retirement, or investmentsI hear that folks with money get to invest and then use that to take vacations or retire.

It is a constant source of stress in my life and I truly don't see how I'll ever be able to repay them at this point, even while my PSLF that I have been promised seems to be on the chopping block.\n\nThe entire process is impossible to navigate and is designed to hurt the borrowers.","affordability_impacts_raw":"Rent or Mortgage, Tuition or school supplies, Healthcare or medicine, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Savings, retirement, or investments","affordability_list":["Rent or Mortgage","Tuition or school supplies","Healthcare or medicine","Food (groceries","eating out","take out)","Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas","electricity","cable","internet","cellphone)","Vehicle payments","Paying down credit cards or other debts","Charitable donations","Savings","retirement","or investments"],"affordability_count":17,"aff_food":true,"aff_healthcare":true,"aff_housing":true,"aff_savings":true,"aff_childcare":false,"aff_education":true,"aff_debt":true,"aff_charity":true,"alt_spending":"I would pay off my car, pay off my credit card, and build my savings back up.

I graduated in 2013 and paid my student loans on regular basis.  Now, at 51 years old, I am now going to be financial responsible for an aging parent.  As I look to future, now with everything changing and my payments going up substantially, I'm more stressed now than I was before I found my career.  All these cruel changes have affected my personal relationships, I'm now having stress-related health issues, and I can now say that retirement will never come.

I wanted to college and chose environmental engineering because I wanted to help the world and help people that do not have access to safe drinking water get access to something that should be a human right. I wanted to work to make a positive impact on the world and now it appears I will be working mainly to pay off loans at a rate that does not seem to be sustainable. I'm very nervous about about the changes and it causes me a lot of stress because I'm not sure how I will manage without defaulting.

�{33CindyFinkelmancindylee75@gmail.com1896046-55$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreIndividualMore than 100,000��B?I have anxiety about my student loan payments. I lose sleep thinking about my situation. I am consumed with thoughts about my loans throughout the day. It is so unfair that I signed legally binding contracts for my loans and for my repayment and without my consent I was transferred into the SAVE program. I understand that the changing the terms of my repayment was a sincere effort to lower my payments and still have the loans forgiven after 25 years of payments. The situation now is simply unbearable. My loans are in a forbearance that was initiated again without my consent. I am stuck in a forbearance that I did not request, but interest is accruing again despite the forced forbearance. How is this even legal? If I had a way to know what my new monthly payment will be and how many more payments I will be responsible to make I would complete my IBR application now and start making payments again, but the notion of getting the payments restarted without having the knowledge ahead of time of how much I will need to set aside in my budget and for how many years is unfair. How am I supposed to be able to plan a budget and manage my finances with such a large component of the budget being unknown. Before studentaid.gov took down the payment tracker at least I knew I have 6 years of payments left. How can I trust that the chaotic actions of the current administration will honor the 6 remaining years and forgive my loans when I complete my next 72 payments? I took screenshots of all of my previous payment history and scheduled 6 more years of payments before this administration deleted it all, but I have no faith that providing my evidence showing my account history will matter to anyone since apparently the rules that were agreed to previously are simply not being honored any longer and the government is doing everything in it's power to squeeze money from struggling average Americans. I am terrified to find out how large my new monthly payments will be. If I could have access to the formula that is used to calculate discretionary income I would at least be able to figure out what I will owe now and make a plan, but the loan simulator on studentaid.gov is inaccurate and telling me that my payments will be forgiven in 2036. That is way more than the 6 years of payments that were previously showing on my loan tracker. I am overwhelmed with fear of my pending financial insecurity.Healthcare or medicine, Savings, retirement, or investmentshealth insurance. My student health insurance expired last week.

7ing my master of public health, and the student policy was more affordable and better coverage than the options on the market. The cost of student health insurance increased by $1000 this year for a total cost of $6000 with a $9000 deductable. So even after I spend $6000 for basic coverage that still has copays, none of my healthcare beyond primary wellness screenings is even covered until I spend another $9000. I am gambling with my future health and opting to get a catastrophic coverage plan only when open enrollment opens this year. The situation is dire. I can't afford basic human needs with the upcoming restart of student loan payments.

If I have the ability to pay larger than agreed upon monthly payments the amount of interest owed declines. It just seems cruel and unjust that the contract I agreed to for my student loans is not being honored and has been changed multiple times without my consent.

I know my loans are accumulating interest, but right now Im focusing on trying to manage other debts. However, once payments resume I’m really worried I won’t be able to afford the monthly paymentVehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsHonestly paying off credit card debt I accumulated over the years from not having the best financial situations growing up. Also saving for a place of my own.I have had student loans hanging over my head, since I graduated college for my bachelor’s in 2016. I’ve always had to work multiple jobs since high school due to my family’s financial hardships and having a sick parent for years. Unfortunately, as time has went on costs have always risen and debts would continue to accumulate or pile up. Especially since I had to support myself starting at a younger age than most. I genuinely would just love some sort of break to lessen my financial burden. As I am a public educator and have worked in the Boston public schools systems for 8 years now. I feel as though many of these Public service forgiveness programs make it extremely hard to qualify with ridiculous requirements that require years of waiting and or exempting certain loan repayment programs. I believe it is time to either consider re-working these programs for public service forgiveness and or eliminating some of the student loan debt. This system has been nothing but predatorial on young student burrowers whom are led to believe more debt, leads to a better life. When in fact it, it has proven to be quite the opposite for many.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with pressI’m eligible to vote but rarely or never voteEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleSingle (Never married)3Federal Direct UndergraduateSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$101 - $3002010-2015dA{"id":2822,"first_name":"Stephanie","last_name":"Magistro","email":"stephaniemagistro@yahoo.com","zip

I’ve always had to work multiple jobs since high school due to my family’s financial hardships and having a sick parent for years. Unfortunately, as time has went on costs have always risen and debts would continue to accumulate or pile up. Especially since I had to support myself starting at a younger age than most. I genuinely would just love some sort of break to lessen my financial burden. As I am a public educator and have worked in the Boston public schools systems for 8 years now. I feel as though many of these Public service forgiveness programs make it extremely hard to qualify with ridiculous requirements that require years of waiting and or exempting certain loan repayment programs. I believe it is time to either consider re-working these programs for public service forgiveness and or eliminating some of the student loan debt. This system has been nothing but predatorial on young student burrowers whom are led to believe more debt, leads to a better life. When in fact it, it has proven to be quite the opposite for many.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press","press_ready":"","is_voter":"I’m eligible to vote but rarely or never vote","voted_2024":"No","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Somewhat agree – I am somewhat more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"It certainly has me concerned and feeling as thought our government is not pulling for the average American citizen during these times of financial hardship.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Somewhat agree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"8/20/2025 22:15:29","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

�M33$12,001 - $22,000.�U�$12,001 - $22,000My life is ruined. My college  shut down in the middle of my degree. I was a single mother trying to make a better life for my daughter & I. Working full time job while attending school I had paid my debt down to 10k but somehow I never received letter after Covid that I would start accruing interest. My debt went to 16k even though I never defaulted. Just was in wrong plan??? I literally worked myself to the bone and have no job now because I have so many health issues. I was never given the opportunity to complete college bc my credits won’t transfer bc this was a private arts college. I’m friends with all of the professors. I have written in & called so many times. I’ve been told I’m
In save plan. I’ve been told I’m
In IDR plan. Nobody can give me a straight answer. The new lady in charge is an absolute JOKE!!! I have horrible credit. I may have to file bankruptcy soon. I was working 12 tom14 hour days and fell off a wall delivering the altar flowers i made for the one year anniversary of the Covenant school shooting. I broke my back & both knees. I don’t know when i will be able to walk again. We eat at food banks and they still won’t forgive my debt. It’s a total scam. My loans are w Nelnet so hopefully i filled out survey correctly.

It has also caused me to have to make other life and financial decisions.Childcare (formal facility, paying family or caregiver directly), Savings, retirement, or investmentsChildcare, retirement savings, and paying down other debts (vehicle, mortgage)I pursued a professional degree in healthcare. My parents range from lower middle class, to below poverty line, during the time frame I was in school. As a result I had to use federal loans to fund not only my schooling but also living expenses. I also worked anywhere from 1 to 3 jobs. The cost of higher level education has grown exponentially for seemingly no reason, and without much comprable growth in salaries in most major industries. I've paid loans on time, since 2017. My parents assisted with making payments towards interest for a short period. I also completely paid off 30k + of private loans. 
I've been on IDR plan as my standard repayment or graduated standard repayment is possible for me to pay monthly despite being a healthcare professional and with dual incomes. My wife has less, but similar large loan balances. 

After 7+ years of repayment, all that has occurred is that my loan balance has INCREASED by $20,000. Due to interest and interest compounding, I will never be able to pay off my loans. 
Even with a 30 year schedule the amount I would repay is almost triple what I originally took out. 
The system is broken and the amount of changes to repayment over the years has made navigating options very difficult even for the highly educated.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with pressYes, but I usually only vote in major elections (like presidential or midterms)Employed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteMaleMarried2Federal Direct Undergraduate, Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$501 - $7002004-2009_A{"id":2845,"first_name":"Eric","last_name":"","email":"BLUE016

My parents range from lower middle class, to below poverty line, during the time frame I was in school. As a result I had to use federal loans to fund not only my schooling but also living expenses. I also worked anywhere from 1 to 3 jobs. The cost of higher level education has grown exponentially for seemingly no reason, and without much comprable growth in salaries in most major industries. I've paid loans on time, since 2017. My parents assisted with making payments towards interest for a short period. I also completely paid off 30k + of private loans. \nI've been on IDR plan as my standard repayment or graduated standard repayment is possible for me to pay monthly despite being a healthcare professional and with dual incomes. My wife has less, but similar large loan balances. \n\nAfter 7+ years of repayment, all that has occurred is that my loan balance has INCREASED by $20,000. Due to interest and interest compounding, I will never be able to pay off my loans. \nEven with a 30 year schedule the amount I would repay is almost triple what I originally took out. \nThe system is broken and the amount of changes to repayment over the years has made navigating options very difficult even for the highly educated.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, but I usually only vote in major elections (like presidential or midterms)","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Somewhat agree – I am somewhat more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"Current government is horribly managed and largely focused on pushing their own personal agendas.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Income Driven Repayment (IDR) loan forgiveness after a certain number of repayment years (e.g. 20–25 years)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"8/20/2025 22:42:02","candidate_score":95,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

In 2003 at age of 35 I went back to school to get my Master's degree and Doctorate degree to become a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (I am legally considered to be a Primary Care Provider) to help people manage chronic pain, migraines, nausea, digestive disorders, and hormonal or endocrine imbalances. I have been paying down my student loans for 30 years, with only a few deferments in times of financial hardship, or during COVID-19 pandemic when I couldn't work regularly. I have never been in default. My loans have been bought out by 4 different companies over past 30 years, interest rates raised arbitrarily. Despite paying regularly, my loan balance is currently just over 100K, though the amount of student loans I took out totals about 60K. As a primary care provider, I am contributing to society and supporting our health care system - and I strongly believe I qualify for loan forgiveness, but the rules keep changing,  the buck keeps getting passed, kicked down the road from one administration to the next- and now the SAVE program is being ended, and my student loan payments will increase by 25-35% percent, which will impact my financial stability, and make me unable to pay down credit card debt and not be able to save for my retirement,  only 8 years away!

In 2003 at age of 35 I went back to school to get my Master's degree and Doctorate degree to become a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (I am legally considered to be a Primary Care Provider) to help people manage chronic pain, migraines, nausea, digestive disorders, and hormonal or endocrine imbalances. I have been paying down my student loans for 30 years, with only a few deferments in times of financial hardship, or during COVID-19 pandemic when I couldn't work regularly. I have never been in default. My loans have been bought out by 4 different companies over past 30 years, interest rates raised arbitrarily. Despite paying regularly, my loan balance is currently just over 100K, though the amount of student loans I took out totals about 60K. As a primary care provider, I am contributing to society and supporting our health care system - and I strongly believe I qualify for loan forgiveness, but the rules keep changing,  the buck keeps getting passed, kicked down the road from one administration to the next- and now the SAVE program is being ended, and my student loan payments will increase by 25-35% percent, which will impact my financial stability, and make me unable to pay down credit card debt and not be able to save for my retirement,  only 8 years away!

With the SAVE plan ending and seemingly no plan for PSLF within 10 years with a comparable reduced rate, I am concerned I won’t be able to afford my daily living expenses, let alone saving. I live in one of the highest, if not the highest, cost of living cities, so without student loan payment adjustments for how much I have to pay in rent, etc, my payments could be as high as around $750 per month, which I can’t afford. I feel scared, stressed, concerned, hopeless, like I won’t be able to afford things I need, like food and medical care, let alone going out with friends or traveling, thus affecting my friendships.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Savings, retirement, or investmentsHealthy food, savings, doctors visits, clothes, travel, outings, living costs, gifts.My first degree was in trumpet performance, and after that I found out I was born with a jaw bone disease that could paralyze my mouth. So 4 years after I completed that degree, I decided to study science so that I could have a slightly more stable career. To do that, I had to go back to school for a second bachelors degree (in science), and that meant I needed to take out student loans. I lived with my dad during the second degree, and I made straight A’s, but 2nd bachelor degree students aren’t eligible for grade-based school scholarships. After that, I got a PhD in science, which was free for me. But I still have close to $60,000 in student loan debt, mostly from that 2nd bachelors degree (a small portion is from my music degree). But science jobs (I’m a federal scientist now, also concerned about the RIFs occurring) don’t pay a lot. I was hoping to work towards PSLF, but now that seems unlikely. It’s very stressful and scary. I would not be able to afford high monthly payments if they aren’t lowered as they were on the SAVE plan before. We were sold a lie, and the federal government seems only to want to make the situation worse and worse for everyone in this situation.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with pressYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleSingle (Never married)1 (just me)Federal Direct Undergraduate, I’m not sureSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)I don’t know1998-2003dA{"id":2978,"first_name":"Jennifer","last_name":"Thomas","email":"jennythomas413@gmail.com","zip_code":"95060","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Single (Never married)","household_size":"1 (just me)","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Female","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Household - More than 100,000","income_type":"Household","income_range":"More than 100,000","income_amount_low":100000,"income_amount_high":999999,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, I’m not sure","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate","I’m not sure"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":false,"f

So 4 years after I completed that degree, I decided to study science so that I could have a slightly more stable career. To do that, I had to go back to school for a second bachelors degree (in science), and that meant I needed to take out student loans. I lived with my dad during the second degree, and I made straight A’s, but 2nd bachelor degree students aren’t eligible for grade-based school scholarships. After that, I got a PhD in science, which was free for me. But I still have close to $60,000 in student loan debt, mostly from that 2nd bachelors degree (a small portion is from my music degree). But science jobs (I’m a federal scientist now, also concerned about the RIFs occurring) don’t pay a lot. I was hoping to work towards PSLF, but now that seems unlikely. It’s very stressful and scary. I would not be able to afford high monthly payments if they aren’t lowered as they were on the SAVE plan before.

At the community college, the financial aid advisor advised me that I needed to take out loans to pay for college. 

The advisor told me that no matter how much I took out, my loan payment would only be $50 a month and that I had to take out the full amount offered to me, or else I wouldn't receive any financial aid. To an 18-year-old who didn't even have a checking account or know anything about loans, this didn't sound like a bad deal.

So I decided to return to college and get my B.S. in Accounting, only to find out that my community college drained my student loans, and I didn't have enough left to borrow to finish my bachelor's degree. They should have told me before I started back that I wouldn't have enough to finish out my degree. So I had to pay the rest on credit to finish my bachelor's degree.  \n\nOnly to graduate during the COVID-19 lockdown and I had my internship cancelled. I was told to reapply next summer. The next summer came, and they were still not doing internships. You should reapply next summer. Now I'm competing with the class before mine, the next 2 classes after mine for the same number of internship spots. It's now been a couple of years, and this time I didn't get the internship, because there is an even larger pool of candidates. Now I have no experience in accounting, and I can't even land an entry-level job in accounting. \n\nSo here I am, I did everything the way I was supposed to, according to everyone. I even graduated Summa Cum Laude from my university, and all I've been able to do is work retail and any side job I can get. Now, I had to move back in with my father to take care of him full-time time and I have zero income. The system has completely failed me. I did everything I was supposed to do, and the only thing it got me was in worse shape than before I started. If I could do it all over again, I would have NEVER attended college. I'm almost to the point of completely giving up. I'm broken mentally and financially. This is not the American dream; it is the American nightmare.

I couldn’t get a job in the field I studied for. Yes I’ve tried to make payments but it’s hard on me since I don’t make enough to make the normal payment! 40+k for nothu the next year. I lived in a poor city where jobs were leaving the state. To recoup from all, I needed a better job, security,  and money. Improving my education was the only way. These loans enabled me to loft myself up and out of the food stamp and medicaid world I was stuffed into at the time. I wanted to better my life. I didn't see food stamps and medicaid as an answer. These loans helped me get what I needed to be and feel like a productive person. It worked.... until now.

Paying down my debt or saving for some land.I was lied to my entire life about the need for a degree. I got one and had to work while in college because they loans didn't cover tuition plus I had to pay rent, bills, and buy food. I had to use my credit card to cover stuff as well because it wasn't enough. I then lost my job at my university when I graduated (could only work there as a student) and I was unemployed for 3 months. Everything went on credit cards because I had no savings and I wasn't even able to live paycheck to paycheck when I did have that job. So I got into a lot of debt. I kept hearing (from the few businesses that actually reached out to me) that I was over qualified for them so they wouldn't hire me and others that I needed a Masters. I briefly worked in a factory (no need for my BS there) and then decided if I was going to go into my field I'd need a Masters, so I went back to get that and went back to my old college job in the library. And same thing happen, I had to put bills on credit cards, and I graduated and lost the job again. This time it took four months to get a job and I only heard back from 6 places all but one said I was over qualified and wouldn't hire me. The one that did hire me was Walmart were I made about $12 an hour. After working there for 1.5 years I got a job working at the same campus library but this time as a staff member. I had to keep working at Walmart and the library to make ends meet. Then Walmart changed their policies regarding days off and I had to quit that job. Now I'm fucked worse than ever because my dog has cancer and I'm paying for his chemo on my credit cards so I have tanked my credit score by nearly 100 points since the start of the year, Trump has destoryed the economy with his stupid ass policies because his a fucking dumbass that doesn't understand shit, and he is fucking up what little hope I had for eventually getting my student loans forgiven. I wouldn't be surprised if that fat fucking pedophile's policies result in my ass being homeless by the end of the year.

I got one and had to work while in college because they loans didn't cover tuition plus I had to pay rent, bills, and buy food. I had to use my credit card to cover stuff as well because it wasn't enough. I then lost my job at my university when I graduated (could only work there as a student) and I was unemployed for 3 months. Everything went on credit cards because I had no savings and I wasn't even able to live paycheck to paycheck when I did have that job. So I got into a lot of debt. I kept hearing (from the few businesses that actually reached out to me) that I was over qualified for them so they wouldn't hire me and others that I needed a Masters. I briefly worked in a factory (no need for my BS there) and then decided if I was going to go into my field I'd need a Masters, so I went back to get that and went back to my old college job in the library. And same thing happen, I had to put bills on credit cards, and I graduated and lost the job again. This time it took four months to get a job and I only heard back from 6 places all but one said I was over qualified and wouldn't hire me. The one that did hire me was Walmart were I made about $12 an hour. After working there for 1.5 years I got a job working at the same campus library but this time as a staff member. I had to keep working at Walmart and the library to make ends meet. Then Walmart changed their policies regarding days off and I had to quit that job. Now I'm fucked worse than ever because my dog has cancer and I'm paying for his chemo on my credit cards so I have tanked my credit score by nearly 100 points since the start of the year, Trump has destoryed the economy with his stupid ass policies because his a fucking dumbass that doesn't understand shit, and he is fucking up what little hope I had for eventually getting my student loans forgiven. I wouldn't be surprised if that fat fucking pedophile's policies result in my ass being homeless by the end of the year. So fuck Trump, fuck Biden, and fuck this whole bullshit system we have.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Somewhat agree – I am somewhat more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"They are all fucking useless.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, but I do not plan on taking action","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"9/4/2025 22:56:52","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

Only to be told we are greedy to ask for any relief, or to only repay what was originally borrowed. That is no longer an option. We are being punished for trying to achieve a better life, for not being born wealthy enough to afford a college education out of pocket.

A bachelors degree is now required for the most entry level positions with little room for advancement and ever increasing inflation.

The cost to attend even public colleges have exploded in recent years. Gone are the days when working part time or over the summer would allow students to earn enough to even make a dent in the cost of a college education. The lower and middle classes have been completely abandoned by elected officials who are only concerned with appeasing corporate lobbyists and bolstering their campaign funds. They are completely disconnected from voters under age 50 in the middle class who are drowning in debt they incurred to get a basic education with the promise of a better life, only to be abandoned with limited job prospects, out of control housing costs, student loan debt that is inescapable, and the realization that no matter how hard we work, we will never be able to get ahead.

Now we have to live with the reality that our hope was a weakness that was weaponized against us to trap us in an endless cycle of living paycheck to paycheck with no savings and no retirement, just existing in eternal overwhelming debt, paying interest to stay out of default while never touching the principal just to keep our heads above water. Only to be told we are greedy to ask for any relief, or to only repay what was originally borrowed. That is no longer an option. We are being punished for trying to achieve a better life, for not being born wealthy enough to afford a college education out of pocket. The system is intentional to ensure that class lines are not blurred, increasing the power of the wealthy elite to the detriment of normal Americans who work hard and are just trying to survive.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Strongly agree – I am much more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"I feel like the government is completely incapable of delivering on important issues at this point.

I should be less than one year away from receiving full forgiveness through PSLF but my loans have been locked in an administrative forbearance since August 2024. I was enrolled in SAVE when I consolidated several federal loans that I had into two consolidated loans in June 2024. The consolidation was approved but my repayment plan application has been in limbo ever since. Mohela put me into a standard repayment plan by default upon consolidation instead of the Save plan I requested. My IBR application was marked as closed and never processed. I have since submitted 2 new IBR applications to try to get on a new plan to make progress towards PSLF but they have been stuck in processing for months, leaving me in an administrative forbearance. Mohela leaves me on hold for hours and ignores call back requests made through their automated phone system. It has been a complete nightmare and I’ve been unable to get in touch with a representative for months after multiple unsuccessful attempts.Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investments, Rent or MortgageI could pay down my credit cards and save money for retirement. With snowballing interest rates on student loans, there is no way I will ever be free of student loan date unless I qualify for PSLF or time out on an IBR plan after 25 years. I have worked at nonprofits my whole career and it feels completely hopeless that I’ll ever be able to get ahead or have any savings for emergencies.Governmental mismanagement of student loans and snowballing interest rates have made the American Dream an impossible relic of the past that can no longer be achieved. A bachelors degree is now required for the most entry level positions with little room for advancement and ever increasing inflation. This combined with the hobbling effect of snowballing interest rates on student loans extinguish any hope of ever escaping the vicious cycle. The cost to attend even public colleges have exploded in recent years. Gone are the days when working part time or over the summer would allow students to earn enough to even make a dent in the cost of a college education. The lower and middle classes have been completely abandoned by elected officials who are only concerned with appeasing corporate lobbyists and bolstering their campaign funds. They are completely disconnected from voters under age 50 in the middle class wh��x�[2

Without the loans, I would not have been able to afford school. Even with loans, I had to beg friends and family for help and work in addition to taking classes. I barely skated by in college. When I graduated, it took 2 years to get a full time job in my field. Since graduating and COVID I have been working full time and making my minimum payments because I could not afford to pay more. The break from interest during COVID gave me some reprieve and I was able to get married and put a small down payment on a car to get to work. I am tired of barely skating by. I need to get another degree to move up in my field, and despite all of my hardwork and careful budgeting I am constantly at the whim of what political leaders decide I can afford. I am a human being. I have a family. I want to be able to help myself get to a position I can help others. Loan forgivness would change my life.

�{33$40,001 - $60,000�A�`$40,001 - $60,000This is a very sensitive issue for me.  I have been making payments, with some periods of forebearance, since 2009.  It is now 2025.  I've been in good standing throughout.  My loans were being managed by Nelnet prior to my decision to consolidate to a Direct Federal Loan during the Biden Administration.  I still have emails and documentation of being told this consolidation would be the only way I would be eligible for forgiveness by the Biden Administration and I was assured that if there was no forgiveness I would still have full credit for my past history of payments.  As a matter of fact, I contacted Nelnet (now managing my Direct Federal Loan Consolidation debt) earlier in 2025 and I was told that all of my credits were still in place and that the system was catching up and counting credits to make sure everyone was getting credit for their full history.

To my surprise I recently went online to find out about shifting from SAVE and my payment history has vanished with the exception of payments I've made since Consolidation (2022).  I have been in contact with Nelnet trying to get my full history and continue to get bland emails back telling me how to find my full history online.  (It's not there).  

Luckily I have my bank statements that reflect all of my Nelnet payments over the years and prior to Consolidation.  

So mental health -- I am in my 60's and the thought of having to continue to make payments on my loan from 2009 without credit for all of my years -- and looking at how that will impact my future -- too much for me emotionally and mentally.  I will already struggle to provide for myself in retirement.  I have been functioning under the promise that my loans would be forgiven after 25 years and come to find -- this was a lie.

They tricked me into consolidating my already consolidated parent plus loans with my consolidated direct loans and instead of paying the lower interest rate of 6+ % they put them at 8%. My 15 loans are now 2 loans with capitalized interest. I now owe 
$187, 824 instead of $99,957. I feel betrayed, tricked, and lied to and I had no choice to consolidate even though I told them I didn’t want to.

Unfortunately, I graduated 2 years later in 2009 at the height of the recession. Jobs were difficult to come by and I was competing against people with doctoral degrees who had been laid off. After 10 months, I finally found a job outside my field, but it paid the bills.   When I started grad school, I knew I would be using the IBR plan upon graduation. I had factored in what my expected income would be and knew I would be able to make the payments and interest wouldn't go up too much. But, as I said, I couldn't get the job or income I had expected. So, while I never missed a single payment, my loan amount increased from $115k to $150K over 15 years. When the SAVE plan became an option, I was strongly encouraged by both my loan servicer and the DoEd to switch from IBR to SAVE to ward off the ballooning interest. They stressed that I had to do this quickly (by the end of 2023) or else my 15 years of prior payments wouldn't count. They said I would have to consolidate my loans, but this shouldn't matter because the newly acrrued interest would be wiped and while my balance might not go down (because my payments wouldn't be enoug to cover the interest), the balance also wouldn't go up. So, upon their advice, I consolidated (rolling the accrued interest into the principle) and switched to SAVE. Fast forward 2 years and now I am being forced to go back to IBR but now, because of the consolidation, my interest will accrue even faster. I feel like an idiot a) for getting a degree right as a recession hit and b) for trusting the so-called experts at my servicer and the DoEd when they said I would be stupid not to consolidate and switch to SAVE.   Now, I wake up every morning feel shame, dread and depression. I did what I was told was the right thing to do. Now I will be worse off than before. They should let those of us who were forced to consolidate to have our loans returned to their original state prior to SAVE.

Shortly the��y frustrating. Also, I am going to need a new vehicle soon and I don’t feel like there’s any way I could afford a car payment and my current student loan. What worries me the most though is that my monthly minimum will go up even more under this deranged administration.Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsI would be putting money toward buying a reliable vehicle and perhaps paying off credit card balances.I currently owe about $81,000 because of the master of social work program I completed a few years back. I sent in paperwork for initial consideration for public service loan forgiveness, and I have enough service years to qualify. I’m in my 13th year in a public school system and I have been with the same district all that time. I know I need to make an additional 8.25 years of payments for the rest to be forgiven. Well, at least I was on track for this. With Trump working to dismantle DOE and likely a lot of the programs and repayment plans that were in place, all of that may go away and that’s what terrifies me most. I consolidated all of my loans and applied for the SAVE/REPAYE program. Initially, my monthly minimum payment quote from Mohela was quoted at $457. A month later, my minimum monthly payment was increased to $528, and that's what it has been since. Based on info Mohela sent me a few months back, my minimum payment was scheduled to INCREASE to more than $800 monthly. Obviously because of the lawsuits ongoing, that has been put on hold. This will be extremely difficult for me to pay each month, and I have been trying to get information as to why it's going up. I am a school adjustment counselor and up until 2021, I was sharing the expenses of owning a house and paying bills with my boyfriend of 18 years, but we split up. Since then, I’ve been doing everything on my own. I really need a new vehicle but obviously I have had to put that on the back burner with all of this uncertainty surrounding student loans and programs available to us.
I have managed to make it work since payments resumed, but something will have to give if my payments increase to upwards of $800 — or even more now that the department of education may be disbanded, at least according to what Trump and Project 2025 have in store.

I will also not be able to save anything, not just for retirement, but I will be maxing out my earnings every month. I’m terrified.
I am not able to take my home into my name following divorce. My ex husband is still on the deed because of my debt to income ratio. I also cannot take out any loans for the same reason. I have to rely solely on credit cards if I need cash.
I don’t know if Ill qualify for loans for my sons education.Savings, retirement, or investments, Financially support family or friendssavings, my son’s future college, investments, vacationsI sought a divorce and needed a better paying job in order to live and support my son as a single mom. So I took out student loans to fund my graduate school education in social work. The only college near me within driving distance was a private university at a higher cost. I was told that after a certain number of years, the loan would be forgiven, particularly if I worked in an organization that qualified for PLSF. So I worked for organizations that qualified for PSLF for nearly three years. The organizations that qualified for PCF were very badly managed and underpaid, so I went into the private sector for employment. For nine years I made barely enough  to cover my bills, including my student loan payment. I am 55 years old and have nothing to show for a retirement and very little savings. I’m the mother of a 14-year-old son who will be attending college in four years. I have no idea how to afford his higher education with the amount of debt I have. I cannot take my home into my own name following my divorce. My divorce decree said that the house is mine, but my ex-husband is still on the deed because of my debt income ratio. I don’t qualify for any loans to do home improvement or otherwise and have to rely on credit cards in financial emergencies, including replacing my well pump and part of my home water system - which cost 7k. I have no money for retirement and no savings due to the recent home water issues. I think about my loan every day and am terrified the payback amount per month will be increased drastically. If that happens, I don’t know how I will pay my bills and my quality of life will be severely reduced. Why are people who are willing to do the work of increasing their education to qualify for needed job roles being punished?

So, I accrued around 45 grand in student debt so that I could benefit society, but since society has been deluded into thinking I have no benefit, and due to predatory compound interest, my degree is a largely worthless $100,000.00 piece of clutter.  

I’m working full time in a job unrelated to my field of expertise, making barely above the survival level of wages; while my student loans, shifted to an “income-based repayment” plan are being faithfully paid but increasing exponentially, and there is literally nothing I can do about it. I cannot declare bankruptcy. I cannot find a better paying job in my field. I cannot even necessarily die, as then my debt could potentially be shifted to my family.

So, I chose the route where I could be of value to my fellow Americans. Now however, due to all those budget cuts, there are no jobs to be had in social services; and while there are many teaching positions available, they go unfilled because the cuts to salaries, and benefits mean many teachers must work multiple jobs just to barely get by. \n\nSo, I accrued around 45 grand in student debt so that I could benefit society, but since society has been deluded into thinking I have no benefit, and due to predatory compound interest, my degree is a largely worthless $100,000.00 piece of clutter.  \n\nI’m working full time in a job unrelated to my field of expertise, making barely above the survival level of wages; while my student loans, shifted to an “income-based repayment” plan are being faithfully paid but increasing exponentially, and there is literally nothing I can do about it. I cannot declare bankruptcy. I cannot find a better paying job in my field. I cannot even necessarily die, as then my debt could potentially be shifted to my family. My only realistic option is to return to school, for either a different degree, or for my masters; acquire more debt in the process, but possibly have a chance after of finding work that puts me far enough above poverty to be able to start paying my student loans off. \n\nThis has left me in somewhat of a financial pit trap, albeit a comfortable one.

SecurityI took out student loans because I had no family support, lived in a boarding school, and did not have the financial resources to pay for my education. These loans were my only option to pursue my studies and build a future for myself. Repayment has been a constant burden, limiting my ability to save, invest, or fully achieve financial stability. I want decision-makers to understand that for people like me, student loans were not a choice but a necessity, and without meaningful relief, the cycle of financial struggle continuesYes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social media

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, companies in my area were not hiring, and I was unable to find the compensation I had expected to receive by earning a graduate degree.  I would not have taken out more student loan debt if I knew I wasn't going to be compensated.  In my experience, colleges routinely overpromise and underdeliver as their goal seems to be to get students to sign up for college, but then they don't help them find a job when they have completed their degree.

Everyone I knew encouraged and supported me getting a higher education; I won national awards in high school and recieved scholarships from several colleges. But I ended up spending the last two years of bachelor's degree at home because of covid. I graduated in my bedroom with $44,000+ in debt. My mother has a parent plus loan of the same amount. I didn't realize the gravity of this when I was only 18 year

�33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreIt’s so horrible. I will never be able to pay it off. It is a weight on me and on many, many others. Today I spoke with someone who can’t afford even minimal childcare because of their student loan payments.
One time the student loan advisor at Nelnet confirmed my understanding that I will be possibly paying it until I die and likely never be paying on the capital, just on the interest.
 I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get forgiveness after 25 years but I can’t count on that anymore. I’m in the SAVE plan and I’m very stressed because I don’t know what to switch to. I’m also stressed because I don’t know what they will keep from the SAVE plan in the count of my months towards forgiveness. It’s awful to not know what my payments will be over time. 
It’s very upsetting that I had to put the interest into the capital to get into the SAVE plan so now the capital is so much bigger than it was and now the interest will be even higher. That seems illegal and unfair.
I have spent hours and hours and hours on hold with the student loan people trying to figure things out and getting nowhere. I actually ended up using a free help service that a nonprofit provides to finally understand some of what is going on. 
I have a doctorate, I am fortunate enough to be a very smart person and it makes me incredibly anxious and it’s confusing. What must it be like for others? People in my profession are very needed in our society, and I discourage people who ask me from doing it because of the crushing debt.
Dang, answering all these questions is making me think about the

ts old be reduced back to not include interest. Maybe then I would have had a chance to pay off my loan before I’m 70. With SAVE, I was 4 years away from some of my older loans being forgiven (15 years). Now I’m taking care of my 81 year old  Mom who moved in with me because she has dementia. Now I have no idea how I’m going to afford paying for her care and save for my retirement. I know I’m going to have to have a job into my 70’s or 80’s at this rate. I worry about affording my healthcare and hers as well. AI maybe changing things so fast, what if my husband looses his job? He doesn’t have loans but I will still have to pay mine. I’m worried about the future of so many people who need and depend on the pooled resources for services that the government provides and is being taken away. I work hard at my job but I’m being punished for wanting an education and wanting to secure my future financially. The student loan system has been a scam and it is now a political tool. Leaving us with stress and anxiety about our future. I feel like I’ve already paid my dues. My loan should not follow me into retirement age. It should be forgiven. We bailed out the banks and the car industry but we can’t help people with education student loan debt? It’s just crazy to me. Our country is great because of our universities and the education they provide. But how great will we be with ignorant uneducated masses? We will be easier to control by those in power but a sad shadow of our greatness that was. Want to make this country great again? Forgive even half of my loan and give every citizen free associate degrees if they want. Free trade schools or AI schools for everyone else. I would love to get a certificate from Purdue in AI. But I don’t have the money and I can’t afford more student debt. Holding back those who want to learn, it makes me sad.

I don’t feel that it impacted me in any tangible or meaningful way. I struggle to save for retirement or a newer car. I’m lucky because my husband’s job hasn’t been outsourced to overseas yet. But it could be a lot of his coworkers lost their jobs. I’m dependent on his higher income. I couldn’t refinance my student loans when interest rates were super low. So I’ve been charged between 6-8% for some of my longest loans. I think when you make bad financial decisions you can declare bankruptcy but I’m stuck forever with mine. So much of my loans now are compounded interest. Doubling what I owe. I wish they would even just let loans over ten years old be reduced back to not include interest.

Maybe travel to Alaska that is something my Mom always wanted to do, go on an Alaskan cruise. Donate more money to church and other charities.I was told just having a degree would improve my future earnings and that was a lie. I don’t feel that it impacted me in any tangible or meaningful way. I struggle to save for retirement or a newer car. I’m lucky because my husband’s job hasn’t been outsourced to overseas yet. But it could be a lot of his coworkers lost their jobs. I’m dependent on his higher income. I couldn’t refinance my student loans when interest rates were super low. So I’ve been charged between 6-8% for some of my longest loans. I think when you make bad financial decisions you can declare bankruptcy but I’m stuck forever with mine. So much of my loans now are compounded interest. Doubling what I owe. I wish they would even just let loans over ten year
s on less than 1000 a month.

I felt hopeless as I have not been able to find a job due to the federal hiring freeze and lack of other jobs in my area. I have applied to do another americorp service term to qualify for an education award and because the program will freeze interest while serving for them, but that will require moving to a different state for 11 months. My partner and I just bought a house and it has caused a lot of stress on us for me to be moving away. Not having interest through the SAVE plan was the best thing for my situation. I'm very concerned about friends and family who have loans; if my mental health could spiral as much as it did when I found out about the changes and uncertainty, I worry about people who are already in more hardship than I am. People may hurt themselves. Friends have expressed to me that they are having trouble with their mental health because of this. I worry about my health and ability to get help if i need it because I don't have insurance and haven't been to the dentist in over 5 years. The changes that the current administration have made, both regarding student loans and in general, have only caused harm to me and people I care about.Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Vehicle payments, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone)Better quality food, health insurance, dental insurance, making my car payments, helping out family financially, and hobbies--better equipment so my pets and reef tanks will have better quality of life.

�th, and the ability to donate my time to other nonprofits, instead of having to work 3+ jobs.What do I want decision makers to know? I tried to do everything right. I was told to be successful I needed to go to college, so I did. I was the first person in my family to go to college and was told that goverment loans were for people like me, because they wanted me to succeed. I put my head down, worked hard and graduated in 2009. I went in with a goal of my future and came out with the same goals. Unfortunately the job market was temp jobs, allowing goverment organizations to get away with not giving us benifits or the benifit of programs that we were told about to help with our loans. So, I consolidated my loans and worked hard to make my payments. After several years I decided to get my masters. Once I was done income based repayment was an option and I joined with the understanding that as long as I payed my bill every month I would be done in 25 years. I didn't understand that as every administration created a new plan, my clock would start over and the rules would change. Marriage, well that is not possible with some plans, future planning, also not possible. Around the same time I took a job for a small nonprofit, the pay was terrible, but I knew if I could make it 10 years some of my loans would get forgiven. These decisions were terrible financial decisions but, I thought the terms of my loans mattered. They didn't. Today I should be done with the bulk of my loans, having made it to 10 years of service to the nonprofit I work for.  I have spent the last 10+ years working 2-4 jobs at a time, all including my nonprofit job where I am working over 40 hours a week. I have never missed a loan payment, however I would never be able to buy a house or car on my own because of these loans. I did everything right.

I had some subsidized loans and grants. I became a Social Worker to help people. After 15 years working with hospice patients and in community mental health and making very little and working a lot. I got my masters with 3 children at home, the youngest as 1. I needed loans to support me, I had to do a 750 hour unpaid internship along with my coursework for a masters in social work. I wanted to help people but make a better income and have a more flexible schedule for raising my kids. I have accomplished that. My undergrad loans were locked in at 2% which was very reasonable and I could afford those payments. My masters it was a lot more. When I got the SAVE/PAYE plan, I was so happy and relived. It was an affordable repayment amount. Now the plan I have had is gone. My loan is sitting and has no repayment monthly amount and is waiting to be reprocessed. Now it’s accumulating interest and I don’t know how I will do it. I help people. I do sliding scale counseling, I take 5 different insurance plans so I can make counseling affordable for people. I have worked my whole life, never had any help from family. I don’t know why the government doesn’t want to help. I am responsible to repay it. But how can they remove a plan I was on and now my payments could be $1000 or more.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t here anymore so I could stop worrying.Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investments, Healthcare or medicine, Vehicle paymentsRetirement savings, saving for my kids college, taking a vacation and addressing some of my own health issuesI got my undergrad in 2003. I had some subsidized loans and grants. I became a Social Worker to help people. After 15 years working with hospice patients and in community mental health and making very little and working a lot. I got my masters with 3 children at home, the youngest as 1. I needed loans to support me, I had to do a 750 hour unpaid internship along with my coursework for a masters in social work. I wanted to help people but make a better income and have a more flexible schedule for raising my kids. I have accomplished that. My undergrad loans were locked in at 2% which was very reasonable and I could afford those payments. My masters it was a lot more. When I got the SAVE/PAYE plan, I was so happy and relived. It was an affordable repayment amount. Now the plan I have had is gone. My loan is sitting and has no repayment monthly amount and is waiting to be reprocessed. Now it’s accumulating interest and I don’t know how I will do it. I help people. I do sliding scale counseling, I take 5 different insurance plans so I can make counseling affordable for people. I have worked my whole life, never had any help from family. I don’t know why the government doesn’t want to help. I am responsible to repay it. But how can they remove a plan I was on and now my payments could be $1000 or more. I think about it constantly and worry constantly.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleMarried5I’m not sureSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)I don’t know2004-2009dA{"id":3809,"first_name":"Rachel","last_name":"Fowler","email":"unfinished29@gmail.com","zip_code":"28805","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Married","household_size":"5","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"(

�33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreThe fear that PSLF might go away is terrifying.  I took out these loans based on this plan.  I've chosen jobs that paid less for almost a decade to meet PSLF requirements.  If it goes away, I won't ever be able to pay this back or retire.  20 year forgiveness would set me back to zero because the tax bill would be equivalent to the original debt.Healthcare or medicine, Rent o��]0

I'm frustrated at the lack of progress and deeply worried.Rent or MortgageI would be saving for a house. The amount of student loans I currently possess went up over $100,000 when I consolidated. It has impacted my ability to afford a mortgage and I have been renting for 9 years now.I fully understand that when I signed my promissary note, fully repayment of the loans would be required. At that time, it was made clear that my empoyment in education would qualify me for Public Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) after 120 payments were made. I also fully recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into the situation.

I originally borrowed about $165,000 to complete my Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate. I also borrowed funds to complete teaching credential and administrative services credential programs. I often took as many classes as I could to maximize the amount of coursework being taken for the money I was borrowing. I often rented textbooks, as well.

In 2023, President Biden's administration strongly advocated for PSLF and for loan consolidation as one of the pathways to having my loans forgiven. I was wary, as federal government has made many promises to provide clarification of PSLF progress and forgiveness. I chose to consolidate my loans as that was the expected pathway, per my research and discussion with StudentAid.gov representatives.

When I consolidated my loans, they ballooned from $165,000 to over $265,000! The new loans capitalized all of the subsidized interest that my loans had accrued. It was a nightmare that I couldn't turn the clock back on.

I am losing sleep at night. I feel like I wasn't given fair information about how my loans would be permanently changed due to consolidation. The promise of PSLF continues to weigh on me emotionally because the program continues to change in ways that make me feel like they don't want to follow through with the program. I am constantly anxious when I log into StudentAid.gov and my questions about payment status, PSLF, student loan payment buyback, etc or not being answered timely.

What should have been a path toward public service and stability has instead created a constant sense of fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. With payments increasing by 566%, I feel like every aspect of my life is being put on hold.

I have not been able to even consider starting a family because I cannot imagine how I could provide for children when my loan payments consume such a disproportionate share of my income. I cannot buy a home, even a modest one, and remain living at home in order to help care for my disabled family members while trying to keep up with these debts. I have also had to pass up opportunities for more fulfilling or impactful work, because public service jobs already pay below a living wage, and the weight of these loans forces me to prioritize financial survival over professional growth or passion.

The constant burden of this debt has taken a serious toll on my mental health. The stress and uncertainty make it difficult to plan for the future, and I often feel like I am falling further behind in life compared to my peers. It has strained relationships as well—I feel guilty for not being able to contribute equally or pursue milestones like marriage, children, or homeownership.

Instead of feeling proud of my years of public service, I feel punished for choosing this path. The emotional impact is not just about money—it is about the dreams, milestones, and sense of security that this debt has stolen.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medi� �5?--!/�e�'m�O

Why is it constitutional to forgive loans for business owners or incentivize ICE recruitment with forgiveness, but unconstitutional to do the same for public servants across the board?

Without these payments, I would be investing in the exact things the federal government says it wants to encourage: family, housing, health, and long-term economic stability.I went to UCLA Law believing that if I chose public service, programs like PSLF would make that path sustainable. I’ve kept that promise, working for California state agencies while also caring for two disabled parents and a disabled sibling. But despite doing everything right, my student loan payments are now set to rise by 566%. Instead of stability, I feel punished for dedicating my career to serving the public.

The system itself feels unstable. Our debt is bought and sold like a commodity, servicers place us in forbearance without warning, and the rules for forgiveness constantly change by moving the goalposts just as we get close. That uncertainty makes it impossible to plan for the future.

The impact is deeply personal. My husband, a life-long farmer who works countless hours every single day growing food to feed America and serves as a volunteer fire chief in a town with no paid fire departments, and I have always wanted a family, but we cannot afford to go through pregnancy and to take on childcare while crushed by student loan payments. We cannot buy a home, build savings, grow our farm, or move forward with the lives we imagined. Meanwhile, businesses had PPP loans forgiven, and certain federal jobs now offer forgiveness as recruitment tools, while in the same breath long-time public servants, including folks like me who put our own lives at risk working in public health, never missing a day fighting to save lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic, are told relief is unconstitutional and are threatened with having the program we’ve paid into with our labor and opportunity costs for better paid work for nearly 10 years just taken away.

This isn’t just about debt, it’s about fairness, broken promises, and the futures we’re being forced to give up.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeI prefer not to answerPrefer not to sayI prefer not to answer2Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)None of the above2010-2015dA{"id":4102,"first_name":"Sarah","last_name":"M","email":"mcalister2017@lawnet.ucla.edu","zip_code":"95829","age":"26-35","marital_status":"I prefer not to answer","household_size":"2","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"I prefer not to answer","gender":"Prefer not to say","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Household - 80,000-100,000","income_type":"Household","income_range":"80,000-100,000","income_amount_low":80000,"income_amount_high":100000,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Graduate PLUS","loan_type_list":["Graduate PLUS"],"has_undergraduate":false,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":false,"first_loan_year":"2010-2015","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)","monthly_payment":"None of the above","repayment_status":"My loans are in a forbearance or deferment (NOT including in-school deferment)","amount_owed_raw":"$150,001 or more","amount_low":0,"amount_high":0,"amount_display":"$150,001 or more","emotional_impact":"The emotional impact of my student loan debt has been overwhelming and all-consuming.

I’ve kept that promise, working for California state agencies while also caring for two disabled parents and a disabled sibling. But despite doing everything right, my student loan payments are now set to rise by 566%. Instead of stability, I feel punished for dedicating my career to serving the public.\n\nThe system itself feels unstable. Our debt is bought and sold like a commodity, servicers place us in forbearance without warning, and the rules for forgiveness constantly change by moving the goalposts just as we get close. That uncertainty makes it impossible to plan for the future.\n\nThe impact is deeply personal. My husband, a life-long farmer who works countless hours every single day growing food to feed America and serves as a volunteer fire chief in a town with no paid fire departments, and I have always wanted a family, but we cannot afford to go through pregnancy and to take on childcare while crushed by student loan payments. We cannot buy a home, build savings, grow our farm, or move forward with the lives we imagined. Meanwhile, businesses had PPP loans forgiven, and certain federal jobs now offer forgiveness as recruitment tools, while in the same breath long-time public servants, including folks like me who put our own lives at risk working in public health, never missing a day fighting to save lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic, are told relief is unconstitutional and are threatened with having the program we’ve paid into with our labor and opportunity costs for better paid work for nearly 10 years just taken away.\n\nThis isn’t just about debt, it’s about fairness, broken promises, and the futures we’re being forced to give up.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social media","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Strongly agree – I am much more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"The current student debt landscape has deeply shaken my trust in the government’s ability to deliver on important issues. I entered public service with the understanding that programs like PSLF existed to make this path sustainable. Instead, I find myself facing 566% payment increases, years of confusion about eligibility, and shifting rules that make it impossible to plan for the future. It feels like the government encouraged me to take on this debt and commit to serving the public, only to move the goalposts once I was already in too deep.\n\nIt is difficult to have faith in government promises when I see other obligations swiftly honored—business loans forgiven, tax breaks extended, debt relief used as a recruitment incentive for certain federal jobs—while long-standing commitments to public servants remain inconsistent and contested. The contrast makes it feel like some groups are valued more than others, and it erodes my belief that the government is treating all citizens with fairness and equal dignity.\n\nStudent loan debt has become a barrier to starting families, buying homes, and pursuing meaningful careers—issues the federal government itself has identified as priorities. When I see those priorities undermined by inaction or political stalemate, it is hard not to question whether the government can deliver on the larger challenges we face as a nation.\n\nI want to believe in a government that invests in its people, keeps its promises, and supports public servants who dedicate their lives to others. But the current student debt landscape makes it harder and harder to hold onto that faith.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, but I do not plan on taking action","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"8/20/2025 16:50:33","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

What should have been a path toward public service and stability has instead created a constant sense of fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. With payments increasing by 566%, I feel like every aspect of my life is being put on hold.

I have not been able to even consider starting a family because I cannot imagine how I could provide for children when my loan payments consume such a disproportionate share of my income. I cannot buy a home, even a modest one, and remain living at home in order to help care for my disabled family members while trying to keep up with these debts. I have also had to pass up opportunities for more fulfilling or impactful work, because public service jobs already pay below a living wage, and the weight of these loans forces me to prioritize financial survival over professional growth or passion.

�33NicoleTabornrtrask@gmail.com9707826-35$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreHouseholdMore than 100,000��B?Student loan debt is crippling and debilitating.

I should be less than one year away from receiving full forgiveness through PSLF but my loans have been locked in an administrative forbearance since August 2024. I was enrolled in SAVE when I consolidated several federal loans that I had into two consolidated loans in June 2024. The consolidation was approved but my repayment plan application has been in limbo ever since. Mohela put me into a standard repayment plan by default upon consolidation instead of the Save plan I requested. My IBR application was marked as closed and never processed. I have since submitted 2 new IBR applications to try to get on a new plan to make progress towards PSLF but they have been stuck in processing for months, leaving me in an administrative forbearance. Mohela leaves me on hold for hours and ignores call back requests made through their automated phone system.

Now however, due to all those budget cuts, there are no jobs to be had in social services; and while there are many teaching positions available, they go unfilled because the cuts to salaries, and benefits mean many teachers must work multiple jobs just to barely get by. 

So, I accrued around 45 grand in student debt so that I could benefit society, but since society has been deluded into thinking I have no benefit, and due to predatory compound interest, my degree is a largely worthless $100,000.00 piece of clutter.  I’m working full time in a job unrelated to my field of expertise, making barely above the poverty line of wages; while my student loans, shifted to an “income-based repayment” plan are due, and past due, and there is literally nothing I can do about it. I cannot declare bankruptcy. I cannot find a better paying job in my field. I cannot even necessarily die, as then my debt could potentially be shifted to my family. My only realistic option is to return to school, for either a different degree, or for my masters; acquire more debt in the process, but possibly have a chance after of finding work that puts me far enough above poverty to be able to start paying my student loans off. 

This has left me in somewhat of a financial pit trap, albeit a comfortable one. I cannot plan or save for my future because I cannot afford to do so.

�o33$80,001 - $100,0008���$80,001 - $100,000It’s a giant crater in my life. An elephant in the room I try not to think about lest I become overcome with crippling anxiety. Hoping I win the lottery so I can realistically pay it off in 20 years (I have a feeling the loan forgiveness will disappear before I can use it). I had started the PSLF plan but then I had my children, and childcare was more expensive than my earnings. I was only 2 years in so my spouse and I made the decision for me to go to part-time work, which immediately made me ineligible for the program. I hope to return to work in what would be considered full-time in 4-5 years when my youngest child goes to school full-time. But if we have another child that gets pushed further out. 
I know I am privileged in that financially we can afford kids and for me to step back, but it feels like I am being punished for being a mother and being with my children/only working 15hrs a week. And with the increases in my loan payments I may be scrambling to work nights at a grocery store to just make minimum payments and not have to put my kids in super-expensive child care. 
It’s stressful. It is preventing my family from doing any savings for college, retirement, etc. Aside from a home we purchased (got a screaming deal because it belonged to a deceased relative and everyone wanted it to stay in the family) we don’t make big purchases. No vacations. No new vehicles. Not even the big home renovations that need to happen such as new siding.

I paid off my undergraduate degree in communications. 

I got married and then divorced and began working in the school system as a technology specialist. I fell in love with technology in education and decided I should go back for a masters in curriculum and instruction so I had formal education in education. 

After that I was a technology director and needed to get my administrative certificate. I also got my doctorate at the same time.

The plan was to pay off my student loans when I sold my house, as my kids would be grown and I wouldn’t need a house that big. 

Now it’s 2007-2008 and the housing market took a huge hit. I literally lost $180,000 on my house and had to short sale it because I could no longer afford it and had no equity. 

I hate having this debit over my head and now I am renting because I can’t afford to buy!

I paid for my student loans on my own and I had no familial support. In 2010, we were still deep into recovery after the 2008 recession and economic crash. When I graduated we were still losing nearly a million jobs a year. I had to choose between searching for a job in any field in an economy that had high competition and few jobs being created, or postponing the job hunt and seeking my master's degree. I chose graduate school, which I attended overseas. It was cheaper and took less time. From 2010 to 2013 I studied for my MA degree. When I graduated, I had a total of $56k in student loan debt. However, after I returned to the US, I found that the job market was still untenable. It took me six months to find work in retail, in spite of my advanced degree. Nobody wanted to hire me in my field. From 2013 to 2016, my student loans only increased, due to interest, by about $2,500. From 2016 until 2019, my student loans skyrocketed from $59k to $97k, an increase in accrued interest of $38,000, 12.6x more than the increase I saw from 2013 to 2016. With the pandemic pause, my loans remained at or around that $97k, but by the end of 2024, despite being on the SAVE plan, my loans increased to $107k. 49% of my student loan debt is accrued interest. Because I was on IBR plan prior to the SAVE plan, and earned well below the threshold to make payments for several years, I paid minimal amounts towards my loans. 

Notably, 2016-2019 was Trumps first term as President, where he put Betsy DeVos in charge of the Dept. of Education. DeVos had a vested interest in student loan servicers. To be clear here, because I was a non-traditional student, first person in my family to attend college, and I had a disability, I was guaranteed a fixed interest rate of 3.8% APR for most of my student loans except one small loan that was variable and one that was set at 2.11% (fixed). Nonetheless, under DeVos' tenure, several of my student loans went from the guaranteed interest rate asserted and confirmed with the Master Promissory Note (MPN), to rates that rivalled the interest rates seen with credit cards. For my student loans to go from $59k to $97k in the span of three years, the average interest rate across all of my student loans had to have been 18.05%. From the end of the Pandemic pause and the SAVE plan interest free period, my loans went from $97k to $107k, putting the average interest rate at 10.3%. The terms of my MPN interest rates have been violated for more than a decade, had the guaranteed interest rates been maintained, my student loans would presently be $87,248, approximately $20k less than present. 

Even if my student loans are forgiven, I live in Wisconsin, one of the few states which tax forgiven student loans as income. Presently, presuming that my student loans are rolled for forgiveness, I'd have a tax liability of $6,709, which is approx. $1,250 more than the tax liability I'd have had my loans stuck to the fixed rate promised within my MPN, at $5,455. 

In short, this debt has prevented me from starting my life. I don't own my own home, I struggle to find work still to this day in my field, the economy and job's market is stacked against me; just as it's stacked against 44 million other Student Loan Borrowers. Even if I could find work in my field and it paid me a living wage, I still wouldn't be able to pay down these loans. Short of winning the lottery, or proving a major mathematics conjecture, or a billionaire for some reason choosing to give me a few million dollars, I'm going to be stuck with this debt for the rest of my life. Especially since the Student Loan Forgiveness is being phased out along with the IBR repayment plans; plans guaranteed to me (as well as millions of other borrowers) via my MPN. At every turn, ever since Trump's first Presidential term, the terms of my loan contract have been violated. The Dept. of Education is in breach of contract, and the substantive changes being made by Trump in the present term as President, only exacerbate breach of contract.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionNone of these options apply to meGraduate or Professional degreeTwo or more racesMaleSingle (Never married)1 (just me)Federal Direct Undergraduate, Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)None of the above2004-2009dA{"id":4579,"first_name":"Dr. Kristoffer","last_name":"Martin","email":"ld.martin.writer@gmail.com","zip_code":"54701","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Single (Never married)","household_size":"1 (just me)","employment":"None of these options apply to me","race_ethnicity":"Two or more races","gender":"Male","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Individual - 20,000-50,000","income_type":"Individual","income_range":"20,000-50,000","income_amount_low":20000,"income_amount_high":50000,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, Graduate PLUS","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate","Graduate PLUS"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":false,"first_loan_year":"2004-2009","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)","monthly_payment":"None of the above","repayment_status":"My loans are in a forbearance or deferment (NOT including in-school deferment)","amount_owed_raw":"$100,001 - $150,000","amount_low":100001,"amount_high":150000,"amount_display":"$100,001 - $150,000","emotional_impact":"Frustrating, angering, astonished at the sheer stupidity, arrogance, and utter disregard for the safety and well being for 44 million Americans who currently hold student loan debt.","affordability_impacts_raw":"Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments","affordability_list":["Food (groceries","eating out","take out)","Healthcare or medicine","Rent or Mortgage","Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas","electricity","cable","internet","cellphone)","Vehicle payments","Paying down credit cards or other debts","Charitable donations","Financially support family or friends","Savings","retirement","or investments"],"affordability_count":17,"aff_food":true,"aff_healthcare":true,"aff_housing":true,"aff_savings":true,"aff_childcare":false,"aff_education":false,"aff_debt":true,"aff_charity":true,"alt_spending":"Retirement and investments, starting my own business, saving to build an eco-house.","story":"I started college in 2005, as the first person in my family to attend college.

This meant I took out grad plus loans to help pay my rent (living with 3 people in a 2 bedroom apartment) with the hopes that I could use an IDR plan to help alleviate the burden of repayment and eventually get forgiveness after paying for a few decades. As a fresh grad, I was not making much money, and even now, 8 years into my career and a set of twins later, I’m still feeling like I live paycheck to paycheck at times. Being able to choose an income driven plan made it possible to afford my student loans, and now it’s made it possible to try to save a little extra to plan for my children’s future, but if that’s taken away, I fear for my kids’ ability to afford a higher education if that’s the path they want to take in life.

I went with the most affordable option for grad school based on scholarship, but because a counseling program requires intense internship hours and rigorous class schedules, I was unable to work enough to pay for my living expenses. This meant I took out grad plus loans to help pay my rent (living with 3 people in a 2 bedroom apartment) with the hopes that I could use an IDR plan to help alleviate the burden of repayment and eventually get forgiveness after paying for a few decades. As a fresh grad, I was not making much money, and even now, 8 years into my career and a set of twins later, I’m still feeling like I live paycheck to paycheck at times. Being able to choose an income driven plan made it possible to afford my student loans, and now it’s made it possible to try to save a little extra to plan for my children’s future, but if that’s taken away, I fear for my kids’ ability to afford a higher education if that’s the path they want to take in life. With the insane costs of tuition, I can only hope something’s gotta give in 15 years when my twins are thinking about college, because at this rate, I’ll still be paying off my own loans and forgiveness will be a thing of the distant past.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionSelf-employedGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleMarried4Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Perkins Loans, Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$02010-2015dA{"id":4582,"first_name":"Jess","last_name":"Johnson","email":"jessjohnson3993@gmail.com","zip_code":"1879","age":"26-35","marital_status":"Married","household_size":"4","employment":"Self-employed","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Female","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Household - More than 100,000","income_type":"Household","income_range":"More than 100,000","income_amount_low":100000,"income_amount_high":999999,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Perkins Loans, Graduate PLUS","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate","Federal Perkins Loans","Graduate PLUS"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":true,"has_consolidation":false,"first_loan_year":"2010-2015","r

With IBR (REPAYE before I was shoved into SAVE), I was doing okay.

I took out enough to cover my living expenses while working part-time and providing for a family of four for two years while I took part in required field placements for my degree.  The only reason I took out the loans is because I knew I would be working in non-profit and that the loans could be forgiven via PSLF.  If not for the availability of PSLF, I would not have taken out the loans for that degree. It was an integral part of my decision to go back to graduate school inY�n�%0

Whenever I could afford to make payments, I have.  I have always been on IBR.   After I went to grad school, I did the federal loan consolidation that was recommended by the Department of Education and my federal student loan lender at the time.  I believe that was 2011.  I only took forebearances when I was out of work and could not afford to make payments, and during the pause during Covid.  I applied for SAVE because it was the administration at the time recommended.  I always did what was recommended of me in regards to these loans.  Now I have no idea what to do.  I want to go back to my original IBR plan but can't afford the payment since I am also paying private loans.  I've been making payments for over 20 years and I am just really afraid of my clock starting over.  I have kids now that I need to start saving for their college (if they want to go).  I have a good job.  It shouldn't be this way.Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Savings, retirement, or investments, Healthcare or medicineI would be paying down the rest of my debt.  I would be saving for retirement and my kids college.  I don't even have an emergency fund.I already answered this above.  I got my loans when I was 18 and thought I'd be able to pay them back.

I took the most minimal amount of loans possible. I have paid on those loans in good faith every month since 2002 (when I graduated). Every single month. Today, my student loan balance is just as high as it was when I graduated 23 years ago. Every cent is taken and applied to interest charges.

When I got the student loan package we signed whatever we had to sign to get me to college so I could be an attorney. To this day my parents think I left college without federal student loan debt. I had about 60k. I was 18 years old and HAD to go to college. Then I went to law school that was all on student loans because I wanted to be a lawyer since I was 7. When all was said and done I have 270k and I didn’t realize the impact of that until my exit counseling said I had to make $300,000 a year to pay my loans. My first attorney job out of law school paid 50k my only hope was one loan forgiveness but now I’ve just accepted I will have these loans for the rest of my life and never have money because of that.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleMarried3Federal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct Consolidation, I’m not sureSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$501 - $7002004-2009dA{"id":4685,"first_name":"Courtney","last_name":"Anauo","email":"courtney.anauo@gmail.com","zip_code":"12065","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Married","household_size":"3","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"Whi��}�K4

Nobody sat me down to tell me how much money I was taking out for my bachelors degree no one warned me that when I graduated I was going to incur over $120,000 in student loans banks, they just let me take it out. The government allowed me to take out loans and so did my parents. I had to take out private loans and federal loans in order to cover my tuition for all four years. I graduated in 2011 after the 2008 housing crisis the economy still had not recovered there weren’t that many jobs and the jobs that were available were very low paying. I was able to push my loans off for six months after graduation, but after that, I had to start paying. My bills started coming in, I was paying over $1000 per month and I was only making $45,000 a year. My income slowly increased after I took my second job but I had to take a pay cut a few years after graduating to change careers all while still paying over $1000 a month in student loans I was not able to save any money. I was not able to go on trips with my friends, I lived very modestly. I had roommates in crappy apartments. I drove an old car and I was not investing. I tried to refinance. Some of my loans were over 10% interest when I graduated. The banks wouldn’t let me refinance for years. I was finally able to refinance some of my loans, but still the interest rates were were around 7% and my federal loans were 6.5%. Then Covid happened and I suffered from two layoffs wasn’t able to find a job. The federal loans are paused, but my private loans still demanded payment. It was a really stressful awful time.

I paid off all of my federal all of my private loans on my own but I still have about $36,000 left in federal loans with interest rates of 6.5%. It’s cruel that  teenagers are allowed to take out loans and banks saddle them with extremely high interest that makes it nearly impossible to pay back their loans in a timely manner because they just keep getting buried with more and more debt. I’m so sick and tired of worrying about this issue. With $120,000 I could’ve invested the money and grown my net worth exponentially. I could’ve saved for a home. I could’ve started a family, a big reason why I haven’t considered having a baby is because I wouldn’t be able to provide the life that I want and I wouldn’t want to bring a life into the world without knowing that I was going to be financially secure and stable. Having this much debt has ruined my life in so many ways. I have even considered committing suicide on multiple occasions because I am so depressed, worried, and stressed out.

�M33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreStudent loan debt prevents me from buying a home and starting a family. I am very scared about my ability to afford having a child and fear this debt will keep me from ever being able to responsibly start a family. I have constant anxiety and think persistently about my options, wishing that there was any other way out of this situation. In the end, I can try to make more money, but then my loan payment will increase too, so what is the point? This debt is restricting and suffocating my ability to be an active participant in our economy. Forgiveness, reduced interest, and/or caps on payments (I should not be expected to pay over 2000/mo!) would CHANGE my life and enable me to start a family.Rent or Mortgage, Savings, retirement, or investmentsA home and starting a family.Yes, I vote in every or almost every electionFederal Direct Undergraduate, Federal Direct Consolidation, Graduate PLUSSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$1,001+2010-20157B{"id":4728,"first_name":"","last_name":"","email":"","zip_code":"","age":"","marital_status��w6911)�U�)�5�g

I would invest it and watch it grow. I would also be able to consider buying a home or starting a family.In 2006/2007 when I was looking for schools, my parents told me to select any school that I wanted. They told me that they would be able to pay for my college education and so the cost wouldn’t matter as I went through my years at Umass Amherst. My parents started communicating to me that they actually didn’t have money (due to job losses) and that they had not been paying my tuition I was having to go to the bursar‘s office every semester to negotiate my tuition and speak with the Bursar about payments. My parents told me that I had to take out loans. They assur��years when I became permanently paralyzed and could no longer work. When we started paying her loans after college, her original balance was about $62,000. As of today, thanks to compounding interest that we were not aware of when we were forced to enter forbearance after my injury, we currently owe $82,000, about $20,000 MORE than we owed at the start. That's after having made at least 10 years of on-time payments. 

Furthermore, my wife has been working at a qualifying nonprofit charter school for the last 9 years and 6 months. All of that employment time has counted towards PSLF so far and she should only have 6 more payments left to make to qualify for forgiveness. Unfortunately, through no fault of our own, we've been stuck at 14 payments left for almost a year now because we were signed up for the SAVE plan and forced into forbearance that we did NOT want to be in.

We applied to enter into a different, qualifying income driven repayment plan over 10 months ago, and our application is STILL waiting to be processed! We did so because we wanted to continue making payments to ensure that we can finish making her 120 payments. Considering that my wife's charter school nonprofit is operated by American citizens of Turkish descent, and considering that this administration makes determinations based on skin color, ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity, in violation of the law and Constitution, we have no idea whether her nonprofit will suddenly be declared disqualified or not.

When we started paying her loans after college, her original balance was about $62,000. As of today, thanks to compounding interest that we were not aware of when we were forced to enter forbearance after my injury, we currently owe $82,000, about $20,000 MORE than we owed at the start. That's after having made at least 10 years of on-time payments. \n\nFurthermore, my wife has been working at a qualifying nonprofit charter school for the last 9 years and 6 months. All of that employment time has counted towards PSLF so far and she should only have 6 more payments left to make to qualify for forgiveness. Unfortunately, through no fault of our own, we've been stuck at 14 payments left for almost a year now because we were signed up for the SAVE plan and forced into forbearance that we did NOT want to be in.\n\nWe applied to enter into a different, qualifying income driven repayment plan over 10 months ago, and our application is STILL waiting to be processed! We did so because we wanted to continue making payments to ensure that we can finish making her 120 payments. Considering that my wife's charter school nonprofit is operated by American citizens of Turkish descent, and considering that this administration makes determinations based on skin color, ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity, in violation of the law and Constitution, we have no idea whether her nonprofit will suddenly be declared disqualified or not.\n\nNow that we also have a son who's a senior in college and who is also accruing federal loans, we are sick and tired of regular Americans being plunged into lifetimes of debt just to get a college education and contribute to our nation's economy.

�+33$100,001 - $150,000��I�$100,001 - $150,000I literally had to cancel my wedding because of this administration and their bullshit. Thanks to them and their ever present threat toward any semblance of finance peace, if my fiancé and I were to legally get married our student loan payments would go from ~$275/month to $1600/month due to combined income. On top of that I was put into the SAVE plan without consent because they got rid of REPAYE so because of things outside of my control, my YEARS of service as a healthcare provider don’t count toward forgiveness because of the forced forbearance. We are both only a few months away from forgiveness I don’t believe will actually ever come at this point. We are truly hopeless about achieving a lot of our goals in terms of home restoration, the ability to even think about vacation or even short 1-3 day weekend travel, being able to afford to get married and continuing to save toward retirement thanks to this administration and their asinine policiesPaying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friendsҖ�2

Obama was a great president but he dropped the ball when he tried to take the high road and let Cheetolini pick the next justices.  There is no high road with republicans.  They ignore civil discourse.  They ignore reality.  Sure, the part of the republican that is in power *might* be a minority.  But why the hell isn't the progressive wing of the democrat party in power?  Fight the way they fight and do what it takes to get the progressive democrat agenda in power.  No moderate agendas.  The republicans don't seem to have one.  Full on Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren or you aren't trying.  No compromise.  The democrats didn't win when they tried to appeal to a broad base anyway, so what is there to lose.  At least if you do it this way you could say you tried.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Somewhat agree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"8/21/2025 2:44:42","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

I was sold a a lie that I needed to go to college to be successful.  I would be doing just fine without a degree right now if I hadn't wasted my time trying to go to college and incurring debt.  Because of the way my life went, I was not able to finish my degree.  So now I'm paying for something I didn't get because the adults around me told me when I was only 18 that I needed to go to college or I would not be able to get a job.  If that is really what is required, then high school is no longer the bare minimum.  College should be free to students if the minimum requirement is to have a bachelor's degree.  I didn't have the luxury of not working while going to school because I tried to do the responsible thing and keep cost in mind.  That made it so that I was not able to fully focus��as difficult as possible to repay what I owe while letting interest accrue. It is a constant source of stress in my life and I truly don't see how I'll ever be able to repay them at this point, even while my PSLF that I have been promised seems to be on the chopping block.

The entire process is impossible to navigate and is designed to hurt the borrowers.Rent or Mortgage, Tuition or school supplies, Healthcare or medicine, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Savings, retirement, or investmentsI would pay off my car, pay off my credit card, and build my savings back up. I'd also focus on trying to save for eventual retirement and maybe a down payment on a house. None of that is possible right now.I took out federal loans to cover the bulk of my college tuition and private loans to cover the rest. Obviously, the private loans come with a much higher interest rate, but the repayment process for them (through Bank of North Dakota) has been pretty painless and people tend to actually answer the phone. The federal payback, however, has been a nightmare. Neither my servicer nor the DoE seems to know what my payments should be or when they start, the DoE decided that my payment plan is now illegal despite allowing me to sign up for it in a previous administration, and my PSLF status looks to be on the chopping block. I'm 39 payments into my 120 to qualify for forgiveness, but now since PSLF is held up in court, I can't make qualifying payments while I watch interest accrue. MOHELA says that I can't make payments either, despite allowing interest to steadily build. My PSLF application for my last federal loan has been processing for nearly a year, and it is functionally impossible to contact anyone from either the DoE or MOHELA. I worry every day about how I'm going to pay down my loans, especially when the SAVE plan actually ends, because that will financially cripple me - I'd love to buy a house one day, but that seems like less and less of a possibility with every passing day in this administration.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeBachelor’s degreeWhiteMaleSingle (Never married)1 (just me)Federal Direct UndergraduateSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)I don’t know2016-2021dA{"id":4806,"first_name":"Nick","last_name":"Larson","email":"nlarson5@cord.edu","zip_code":"56537","age":"26-35","marital_status":"Single (Never married)","household_size":"1 (just me)","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Male","education":"Bachelor’s degree","income_raw":"Individual - 50,000-80,000","income_type":"Individual","income_range":"50,000-80,000","income_amount_low":50000,"income_amount_high":80000,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Undergraduate","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Undergraduate"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus":false,"has_perkins":false,"has_consolidation":false,"first_loan_year":"2016-2021","repayment_plan":"Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)","monthly_payment":"I don’t know","repayment_status":"My loans are in a forbearance or deferment (NOT including in-school deferment)","amount_owed_raw":"$22,001 - $40,000","amount_low":22001,"amount_high":40000,"amount_display":"$22,001 - $40,000","emotional_impact":"I constantly think about my looming student loans.

I was a single mother trying to make a better life for my daughter & I. Working full time job while attending school I had paid my debt down to 10k but somehow I never received letter after Covid that I would start accruing interest. My debt went to 16k even though I never defaulted. Just was in wrong plan??? I literally worked myself to the bone and have no job now because I have so many health issues. I was never given the opportunity to complete college bc my credits won’t transfer bc this was a private arts college. I’m friends with all of the professors. I have written in & called so many times. I’ve been told I’m
In save plan. I’ve been told I’m
In IDR plan. Nobody can give me a straight answer. The new lady in charge is an absolute JOKE!!! I have horrible credit. I may have to file bankruptcy soon. I was working 12 tom14 hour days and fell off a wall delivering the altar flowers i made for the one year anniversary of the Covenant school shooting. I broke my back & both knees. I don’t know when i will be able to walk again. We eat at food banks and they still won’t forgive my debt. It’s a total scam. My loans are w Nelnet so hopefully i filled out survey correctly. Thank you kindly for all of your hard work.

I took a year to work and decide if graduate school was for me. I wanted to pursue work in the cultural arts and specifically in librarianship so I applied to graduate programs. Knowing I struggled with finding a good full time job coming out of undergrad, I wanted my grad  school to give me a network, teach the newest technology and research, and provide me a good home for 2 years in the 2010s. That school choice was expensive. Knowing I wanted to pursue non profit work I made the excited decision to go for it - I understood working for the non profit world would mean lower pay than other jobs and I would be paying back loans for 10 years as the government promised to forgive. I had set myself up mentally for a low income life, not due solely to loans for overpriced education but for the work I knew I wanted to do and my country believed deserved help. I had not set myself up for the stress that would come with how to be forgiven, how to maintain a non profit job when their budgets keep shrinking, and for this most recent whiplash on what qualifies for payment and for an eligible non profit. Because of my student loans, my hard work, and my determination I maintain no other debt - I have no credit card debt and the one car purchase loan I took out I worked hard to have low percentage and paid it back in under 5 years. I have felt continuous guilt for this student debt, that I cannot contribute to the economy as much as I would like, that I do not travel within and outside the states as much as I want, that I do not think it would be responsible to have a kid of my own with how expensive and unsupported child care is in this country. I am just months away from my 10th anniversary of paying back loans with a full time non profit job. I have done everything I can but I am exhausted and have little hope on this country fulfilling its promise to forgive me for trying to plan my non profit career.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social media","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Neither agree nor disagree – My likelihood to take action has not changed","govt_trust_impact":"I have little confidence on a way forward that is bipartisan and good for the overall economy","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Somewhat agree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I have an application pending to switch repayment plans","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Neither agree nor disagree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"8/21/2025 12:54:43","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

I'm constantly thinking about itRent or Mortgage, Charitable donations, Savings, retirement, or investmentsI might have had a kid, a better apartment, and traveled moreI went to college at the end of the 2000s with little debt from great scholarships. I took a year to work and decide if graduate school was for me. I wanted to pursue work in the cultural arts and specifically in librarianship so I applied to graduate programs. Knowing I struggled with finding a good full time job coming out of undergrad, I wanted my grad  school to give me a network, teach the newest technology and research, and provide me a good home for 2 years in the 2010s. That school choice was expensive. Knowing I wanted to pursue non profit work I made the excited decision to go for it - I understood working for the non profit world would mean lower pay than other jobs and I would be paying back loans for 10 years as the government promised to forgive. I had set myself up mentally for a low income life, not due solely to loans for overpriced education but for the work I knew I wanted to do and my country believed deserved help. I had not set myself up for the stress that would come with how to be forgiven, how to maintain a non profit job when their budgets keep shrinking, and for this most recent whiplash on what qualifies for payment and for an eligible non profit. Because of my student loans, my hard work, and my determination I maintain no other debt - I have no credit card debt and the one car purchase loan I took out I worked hard to have low percentage and paid it back in under 5 years. I have felt continuous guilt for this student debt, that I cannot contribute to the economy as much as I would like, that I do not travel within and outside the states as much as I want, that I do not think it would be responsible to have a kid of my own with how expensive and unsupported child care is in this country. I am just months away from my 10th anniversary of paying back loans with a full time non profit job. I have done everything I can but I am exhausted and have little hope on this country fulfilling its promise to forgive me for trying to plan my non profit career.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteFemaleDomestic partnership2Federal Direct Consolidation, Federal Direct UndergraduateSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)I don’t know2004-2009dA{"id":4953,"first_name":"Karen","last_name":"Obermeyer-Kolb","email":"karen.ann.ok@gmail.com","zip_code":"60625","age":"36-45","marital_status":"Domestic partnership","household_size":"2","employment":"Employed full-time","race_ethnicity":"White","gender":"Female","education":"Graduate or Professional degree","income_raw":"Individual - 50,000-80,000","income_type":"Individual","income_range":"50,000-80,000","income_amount_low":50000,"income_amount_high":80000,"has_federal":"Yes, I have unpaid FEDERAL student loans","loan_types_raw":"Federal Direct Consolidation, Federal Direct Undergraduate","loan_type_list":["Federal Direct Consolidation","Federal Direct Undergraduate"],"has_undergraduate":true,"has_graduate":true,"has_parent_plus"�

�33LauraMcFallslaurarmcfalls@gmail.com2752046-55$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreIndividual50,000-80,000�P8�When I was able to consolidate and enroll in the SAVE plan, a huge financial and emotional weight was lifted off me. The monthly payments were affordable and had no negative impact on my family. Now that I'm unable to continue with SAVE, the next best option is PSLF, which is still a higher monthly payment than SAVE.

I was told they had made a mistake in issuing me subsidized loans and that if I didn't sign the new promissory note to change them to unsubsidized loans then I would not be allowed to graduate. This was after the funds had all been dispersed and spent on my tuition so I had no choice but to sign the notes as I only wanted to graduate.

We had to take loans when I went full time, even with Pell grants & kids on WIC & our qualifying for Food Stamps. We had to sell our house & move for me to complete my BA degree. Then the company I worked for after graduating, shut down & laid off my department after several yrs. We moved again as had to live with my wife's parents so both of us could find work. I went back to school for a masters thinking that would improve my income. So we had to move again take out more loans. I did get a good job after graduate school, but the company did a reduction in force - nothing personal, just want to cull all the older workers with better salaries before we sell the company. Our kids were in high school & we couldn't afford a move. My wife worked a union grocery clerk job to give us health insurance. I started doing contract work for a Community College. We barely made it with never enough for any savings or to pay off student loans.

Our family has carried my student loan debt since I started college in 1985. We never earned enough to pay off the loans & also care for our family. In 2011 we joined Income Based Repayment program & had zero monthly payments due since then. We thought our student loan debt would be cancelled as we've always been in touch with loan servicers. Our current servicer, Aspire has said we've made more payments than needed to be be forgiven & we've long ago paid the principal. My wife is permanently disabled since 2009 unable to work. I have cancer & interstitial lung disease & am 79 years old. We were told by our WA state Student loan Advocate to ask my Dr. to verify these conditions so the Dept of Education could declare me disabled. If no interest is added, my debt is near $50,000. This would be a great relief to me & my wife. All the payments due since 2011 were zero each month as we reported all our income. Please help!

Due to my condition I work 20 hours a week and live on a tight budget.  I have 5 years left of payment based on previous rules, since it's a loan for grad school.  I will be 65 in 7 years and I pray this loan will be resolved.Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Savings, retirement, or investments, Financially support family or friends, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone)Preparing for retirement and giving back to family and community through volunteering in the future.My story is not uncommon.  I pursued a graduate degree with the plan of being in a duel income family with upward mobility.  Much like a business that fails (and can claim bankruptcy) my partner left the relationship in good standing and left me with the husk of the business and no feasible way to pay it off any time soon.  So, a series of deferments and forebearance, with some repayment periods led me into IDR and the hope the loan will ultimately go away and lift the proverbial monkey off my back.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed part-timeGraduate or Professional degreeWhiteMaleSingle (Never married)5Federal Direct ConsolidationSaving on A Valuable Education (SAVE)$01998-2003dA{"id":5090,"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Hansen","email":"peter_lon_hansen@yahoo.com","zip_code":"80226","age":"56-65",

Cutting back on financial aid programs, education programs, and healthcare programs is more detrimental for the entire population than anything. We need support from our government, not to further our individual and national debt. I feel government officials are prioritizing international needs rather than the needs of U.S. citizens. So many cuts have been made recently from Medicare, education systems, LGBTQ+ organizations rather than investments, while funding international ordeals we are not attached to. I have major distrust for the U.S. government because of the lack of support and outright ignoring citizen concerns and pleas.

�)33$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreIt has been extremely stressful. I should be less than one year away from receiving full forgiveness through PSLF but my loans have been locked in an administrative forbearance since August 2024. I was enrolled in SAVE when I consolidated several federal loans that I had into two consolidated loans in June 2024. The consolidation was approved but my repayment plan application has been in limbo ever since. Mohela put me into a standard repayment plan by default upon consolidation instead of the Save plan I requested. My IBR application was marked as closed and never processed. I have since submitted 2 new IBR applications to try to get on a new plan to make progress towards PSLF but they have been stuck in processing for months, leaving me in an administrative forbearance. Mohela leaves me on hold for hours and ignores call back requests made through their automated phone system. It has been a complete nightmare and I’ve been unable to get in touch with a representative for months after multiple unsuccessful attempts.Payi^�A�!0

I feel as if this is like throwing gasoline on a fire - I think the country will become more dangerous for everyone as more people are made desperate and unable to see a way out except through violence. I think we may have had our last chance in 2024 and not enough people voted. I want progressive leadership. I do not care about capitalism.

There is no chance I would have chosen to attend graduate school if PSLF had not existed, as I know as a single parent-I could not have survived with large monthly student loan payments for 10-20 years.
Now, over 5 years into my student loan repayment plan, it feels like the rug has been pulled from under me.

I do not think it is morally fair to eliminate the SAVE plan and not move people back into their previous plans. People that have been actively paying into a plan for years should have the security that they will be able to stay in that plan for the duration of the 10-year PSLF period.

I have planned my financial livelihood off of this plan. Now, I don’t know if I am going to suddenly find out that my monthly payments are going to jump to an unaffordable amount.

This year, I had to pull my son out of his private high school and place him in a public school due to not being able to financially plan for the future.

I cannot buy a house or make any purchases that I was previously planning to do-as I have no basis right now for planning how much I could potentially owe each month should I be forced into a new plan.

My payments towards PSLF have been on hold and not counting towards repayment for over one year now-this is devastating.

I would help my mom out who needs help paying medical bills.I always dreaded debt from college, so I was hesitant to even apply while I was in high school.

I grew up hearing about my parents financial problems from their low paying social work jobs, and I have lived with an anxiety about money my entire life. The SAVE plan was a sense or peace for me when navigating my debt, but they destroyed that intentionally, selfishly, and without remorse. I may be gaining a ton of interest by not paying my loans while they are in government placed deferrment, but I don't want to pay this administration a dime until I'm forced to. They are involved in genocide in Gaza and holocaust level racism in this country. Kids are shot in schools on a regular basis, and they do nothing to fix it.

The loan cut offs will prevent anyone who is not wealthy from going to medical school or graduate school in psychology. It cost me nearly $300,000 in student loans to get my doctorate, and I had full scholarships for undergrad and my MA.

At the very least, borrowers facing financial and personal hardship should not be punished with ballooning interest. Additionally, student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy, like other forms of debt. For many families, including mine, this would provide a much-needed path toward stability.

Thank you for listening to my concerns. I hope reforms will be made so that borrowers like me can focus on supporting our families and rebuilding our lives, rather than being crushed by debt that only grows larger over time.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Savings, retirement, or investmentsIf I didn’t have student loans, I would be able to buy a house, contribute more toward my retirement, and set aside savings for my two children, who are eleven and thirteen, to help them afford college. Instead, the weight of student debt and accumulating interest keeps me from building financial stability and planning for my family’s future.I put myself through school to earn my bachelor’s degree, graduating at 30, and later earned my master’s degree at 38. My goal was to become a teacher, but when it was time to complete my student teaching, I had my oldest son and soon after went through a divorce. That difficult period forced me to file for bankruptcy, and I never had the chance to complete student teaching or take advantage of Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

Throughout my childhood I was placed in foster care and under guardianship of over 5 different  families, as well as a group home at one time. I was brought up to believe that an higher education would be my only way to succeed financial stability in life. I took out my first student loan when I was the age of 17 years old, in my senior year of high school. I was told then not to worry about student loans, that it would be manageable and my only way to achieve a college degree. I completed my bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice and later went on to graduate school where I completed a masters in social work. During my time in graduate school, I completed an internship working with federal probation, as well as a juvenile justice program providing therapy to juveniles in North Carolina. I now work in a private practice in San Diego as an LCSW, and help veterans, adolescents, and families with mental health issues. Due to ongoing forbearance between Covid and the save program I have not been in repayment for my loans. Ongoing changes in the political climate and conflicting information have led me to not be in repayment of my loans and forced to stay in forbearance with ongoing uncertainty. As the SAVE forbearance approaches, I will be forced to choose a new repayment plan, likely income based (if I qualify) or standard 10 year repayment. This has led my fiancé and I to have to choose between the ability to pay for IVF or pay off my student loans. My loans will likely cost me between $800 and $1200 a month. I I will also not be able to save for my future retirement, this will leave me dependent on the government system that put me in such uncertainty and financial hardship in the first place. I have always stated I have no problem paying back the money that I borrowed, and even a little bit more in interest. I understand that I agreed to take out student loans, and they are my responsibility. However, the aggressive and predatory interest rates have made my loans grow to such a point that paying them back will be unaffordable, without sacrificing my own and my family’s financial stability. This leaves me with ongoing uncertainty about my financial future and ability to care for myself, to start a family, or even to help my parents, who both suffer with mental health issues as well as physical health issues, and they are currently homeless. Financial security and stability has been my only goal in life, and my decision to take out student loans at the age of 17 was one made with the hope that I would achieve financial stability in my future. That is a hope that has long died, and at this point, I have no hope for any certainty of my financial future or the ones I love, or even for that of my clients that I work with every day.","key_quote":"","story_type":"","story_category":"","platform_fit":"","story_strength":0,"press_pitch_angle":"","sharing_consent":"Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social media","press_ready":"","is_voter":"Yes, I vote in every or almost every election","voted_2024":"Yes","plan_vote_2026":"Yes","civic_action_impact":"Strongly agree – I am much more likely to take civic or political action","govt_trust_impact":"I do not trust the government to provide accurate or timely information on the student debt landscape.","trust_servicer":"","trust_dept_ed":"Strongly disagree","trusted_sources":"","aware_phaseout":"Yes, and I plan on taking action, but have not yet","counting_forgiveness":"Yes, through Income Driven Repayment (IDR) loan forgiveness after a certain number of repayment years (e.g. 20–25 years)","forgiveness_program":"","concern_inflation":"Strongly agree","default_experiences":"","utm_campaign":"SDCCList","submitted_at":"9/4/2025 18:31:22","candidate_score":100,"tier":"A"}2026-03-12 18:09:192026-03-12 18:09:19

My payments will cost over 1k dollars a month. And due to current fertility issues, and the need for IVF, my fiance and I will have to choose between having a family or paying my student loans. I will not be able to afford to put money away for retirement, which will leave me dependent on the government that has placed me in such financial hardship in the first place. This has put me under an incredible amount of pressure and stress, and I worry excessively everyday about my financial future. I currently see a therapist (which I won’t be able to afford after the SAVE forbearance ends) and work weekly address my anxiety and panic attacks. As a licensed clinical social worker myself, I see everyday the financial worries my clients go through due to the country’s constant changing and uncertain future.Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Charitable donations, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investmentsIf I did not have student loan payments, or even just had payments that are manageable, I would be able to afford to take on medical debt in order to start a family, I would be able to save for my retirement, and I would be able to afford to care for my parents who both suffer from mental health and physical health issues (my mother suffered a stroke, has diabetes, and is wheel chair bound) and are currently homeless.My name is Shelby Swan, and I grew up in San Diego CA. Throughout my childhood I was placed in foster care and under guardianship of over 5 different  families, as well as a group home at one time. I was brought up to believe that an higher education would be my only way to succeed financial stability in life. I took out my first student loan when I was the age of 17 years old, in my senior year of high school. I was told then not to worry about student loans, that it would be manageable and my only way to achieve a college degree. I completed my bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice and later went on to graduate school where I completed a masters in social work.

I had started the PSLF plan but then I had my children, and childcare was more expensive than my earnings.

But if we have another child that gets pushed further out. \nI know I am privileged in that financially we can afford kids and for me to step back, but it feels like I am being punished for being a mother and being with my children/only working 15hrs a week. And with the increases in my loan payments I may be scrambling to work nights at a grocery store to just make minimum payments and not have to put my kids in super-expensive child care. \nIt’s stressful.

I entered higher education with the belief—reinforced by government promises—that loan forgiveness would be available to those who committed their careers to public service and community care. I structured my life and career around that understanding. To have the government renege on that agreement feels not only unjust, but deeply destabilizing.
The financial reality is stark: I net approximately $75,000 annually. Even with careful budgeting, the math simply doesn’t work. The anxiety of how I will ever repay this debt is constant and corrosive. It affects my sleep, my ability to plan for the future, and my sense of professional fulfillment. I often feel punished for pursuing advanced education in service of vulnerable populations—work that is emotionally demanding and socially essential, yet financially undervalued.
This dilemma has strained relationships, too. Conversations about money are fraught, and the burden of debt can create distance, shame, and isolation. It’s difficult to fully participate in life milestones—homeownership, retirement planning, even travel—when every decision is filtered through the lens of debt management.
I am frustrated. I am saddened. And I am disheartened by a system that encourages educational advancement while failing to protect those who follow its guidance. This is not just a financial issue—it’s a moral one. The promise of loan forgiveness was not a suggestion; it was a commitment. And its reversal undermines trust, equity, and the very notion of public service as a viable path.Savings, retirement, or investmentsI would have a solid retirement fund. I would have purchased a house.Graduate or Professional degreeI pursued higher education with purpose and conviction—driven by a deep commitment to serve marginalized communities through trauma-informed care, advocacy, and systems change. I believed, as many of us were told, that education was the path to empowerment and impact. What I wasn’t prepared for was the staggering cost of that belief.
Today, I carry over $350,000 in student loan debt. I net approximately $75,000 annually, and despite my credentials, leadership roles, and years of service in behavioral health and shelter systems, the financial reality is suffocating. I was sold a promise: that if I dedicated myself to public service, the government would honor its commitment to loan forgiveness. That promise shaped my career choices, my financial planning, and my trust in public institutions. To see that agreement unravel feels like betrayal—not just of me, but of every professional who chose service over profit.
The emotional toll is real. I experience persistent anxiety about how I’ll ever repay this debt. It impacts my ability to plan for the future, invest in my well-being, and fully enjoy the life I’ve worked so hard to build. There’s a sadness that lingers—a sense that I did everything “right,” yet the system continues to punish those who seek to uplift others.
This debt has also strained relationships. It’s hard to talk about money when the numbers feel insurmountable. It’s hard to dream when every decision is filtered through the lens of repayment. And it’s hard to trust when the very institutions that encouraged this path now distance themselves from the consequences.
I remain committed to my work. I remain hopeful. But I also remain vocal—because this story isn’t just mine. Millions share it. Until we address the structural inequities embedded in our education and debt systems, we will continue to lose brilliant minds to burnout, disillusionment, and financial despair.

I have been on the standard repayment plan since the beginning, and it has always been a large percentage of my monthly income.  Several hundred dollars of student loan debt per month keeps me from being able to afford gas, car repairs, and medical/dental bills. The constant worry about ensuring I can afford it has taken a toll on my mental health for over a decade.  Nevertheless, I have always made my payments on time, and even paid over the minimum when financially able.  In the end, I am scrimping and saving and keeping myself from enjoying basic necessities like new clothes & medical attention just to ensure my student loan bills are paid on time.  Even with the breathing room the SAVE plan has afforded me, I struggle to make ends meet even though I have a stable full time job.  The skyrocketing price of everything the past few years has only made things worse, and it feels impossible to stay afloat even as someone who is practiced living with the bare minimum.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Tuition or school supplies, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Financially support family or friends, Savings, retirement, or investments, Charitable donationsBasic medical care.

I took out loans for my son (parent plus) and myself in graduate school. I took out $99,000 and owe over $182,000 due to compounded interest. I do not know how I can pay them off. Each time I consolidated to qualify for IDR the repayment period started over. My $31,000 plus in payments all went to interest.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone)	Day to day living expensesI took out loans for my son ‘s school which was “for profit”. It was not on the list so the loans could not be forgiven. This paid for his tuition but nothing else. I took out student loans for myself to give the money to my son for rent and expenses. I could not qualify for an IDR repayment plan because I had parent plus loans. I was forced to consolidate over and over until the compounded interest was so high I could not afford it. I needed to consolidate because Nelnet wanted $1600 per month or I would default. I got this down to between $650-850. I am now owing over $182,000 for a $99,000 loan. I recently lost my job and Nelnet still charges interest during forbearance. I am literally scared to see what my payments will be once I get back to work.

I am currently trying to find a second job to prepare to be able to pay for rent, utilities, food, transportation, healthcare, the debt I currently have and my student loans. I live pay check to pay check and do not live an extravagant lifestyle. In fact I stick to a strict budget. I'm not married and I have no one to help me. I work as an ICU Nurse and life at work can be stressful. Now I feel as though if I don't figure something out quick, I could end up homeless. Especially if my wages are garnished. I don't know how other people are making ends meet. The cost of living are continuing to increase and pay isn't. The government would get their money back if they could offer more reasonable payback plans. Instead my life might just be ruined.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsPaying down my current debt and save to buy a home.Yes, with lawmakers, Yes, with press, Yes, on social mediaYes, I vote in every or almost every electionEmployed full-timeBachelor’s degreeWhiteFemaleSingle (Never marriP

If I was able to work and didn't have these payments, I'd be saving for a house and retirement. I don't know if I'll ever have those anyways.I purposely went to a junior college for 3 years before transferring (to save money and to understand what I wanted to major in) which cost me almost $0 thru grants and scholarships. Transferring to UC ended up being $15,000+ in debt (now around $25,000 with interest acrued). I thought going to college was what I was supposed to do, the right path, but I never got a better job from it and unfortunately became disabled 11 years ago (I've suffered from chronic migraines my entire life, pushed thru school, but finally couldn't just kill myself pushing thru anymore). It's very stressful hearing my payment could go up, or I could lose SSDI and suddenly owe my entire loan back. I don't know how I could pay. My mom helps me, but she's retired now and doesn't have extra to spend. Its a daily struggle living with chronic daily migraine, especially when adding extra stress on. I've always been so responsible with my bills, paid my rent, utilities, food before splurging, but student loans have always hung over my head. Now being on a fixed income, I can only pay for so much and would be homeless if I didn't live with my mom. It's such a scary thought. I truly wish we wouldn't be so demonized for having student loans, for trying to further our education, by following the correct path, and then barely getting by at your job. If only congress, the Education Dept, other officials knew what a struggle these loans were for so many who did everything right, maybe they'd see this argument different. They seem to think we are all just irresponsible or buying whatever we want and ignoring debts, and I just dont think that's the case for most of us. For me, interest accrued has nearly doubled my student loan debt at this point, that is just crazy - I don't think this was what student loans were supposed to become when this idea/program was first created.

Living in a home or neighborhood that I want to and that is closer to my work. I’d consider going back to school for an advanced practitioner degree.","story":"I have 2 degrees. My first round of student loans were taken out for a psychology degree. At the time I cared a great deal about working in the nonprofit sector and supporting folks struggling with mental health, substance use disorder and housing insecurity. I was passionate about the work but struggled financially for 6 years. I couldn’t save money, pay for loans, food or rent reliably. I chose to make a career change and went back to school for nursing. Also funded in part by federal loans. I felt like I could make this jump to receive a better paycheck while still working towards PSLF forgiveness. I finally had some hope I would be free of my loans one day. I was finally able to make ends meet financially. I intentionally chose to work at a public, state hospital because I believed in serving my community but still wanted to be eligible for PSLF.

Living in a home or neighborhood that I want to and that is closer to my work. I’d consider going back to school for an advanced practitioner degree.I have 2 degrees. My first round of student loans were taken out for a psychology degree. At the time I cared a great deal about working in the nonprofit sector and supporting folks struggling with mental health, substance use disorder and housing insecurity. I was passionate about the work but struggled financially for 6 years. I couldn’t save money, pay for loans, food or rent reliably. I chose to make a career change and went back to school for nursing. Also funded in part by federal loans. I felt like I could make this jump to receive a better paycheck while still working towards PSLF forgiveness. I finally had some hope I would be free of my loans one day. I was finally able to make ends meet financially. I intentionally chose to work at a public, state hospital because I believed in serving my community but still wanted to be eligible for PSLF. Recent upheaval around the SAVE/repayment programs and threats to PSLF eligible institutions have disrupted my ability to plan for the future.

Carrying this financial burden has caused ongoing stress, anxiety, and worry about my future. It affects my mental health by creating constant feelings of pressure and uncertainty, making it difficult to focus fully on personal or professional goals.

It has also impacted my relationships at times causing strain due to financial limitations, as I’ve had to make difficult choices about social activities, travel, or other experiences. The debt has made me feel limited in pursuing opportunities that align with my passions, and at times it has affected my self-confidence, as I feel held back compared to others without this financial weight.

My first priority would be building savings and creating a stronger safety net for unexpected expenses. I would also invest more toward retirement to ensure long-term security.

In addition, I would be able to focus on personal and family goals, such as putting money aside for travel, homeownership, or pursuing professional development opportunities that could further my career. Without the weight of student loan payments, I would finally have the freedom to plan for the future instead of constantly feeling like I am just trying to catch up.I took out student loans because I believed that earning my degree was the best path to building a stable future and advancing in my career. Like many others, I was young when I signed for these loans and didn’t fully understand the long-term financial weight I was taking on.

Repayment has been a constant source of stress. The payments are high enough that they limit my ability to save for retirement, buy a home, or fully enjoy life without the constant anxiety of debt hanging over me. Even when I’ve been diligent and responsible with my payments, the balance barely seems to move, which is both discouraging and disheartening.

What I want decision-makers to know is that this isn’t just about money, it’s about opportunity, stability, and mental well-being.

The rising costs of everything, especially living in CA which already has a high cost of living, is causing a financial burden. Before the administrative forbearance was put on my SAVE plan, the $235 a month I was paying was difficult but manageable. But if it were to increase, I would have to make a choice between paying my other bills and monthly expenses vs. paying my student loans. Additionally, I have worked in the non-profit sector for almost 20 years and was counting on my loans being forgiven after 10 years of paying them off. This will be around the time when I should be retiring and I am counting on this so I can afford to retire. I have a disability and it is physically and mentally critical that I retire around 65-67. I see a therapist twice a month and this topic is often one we discuss in our sessions.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Healthcare or medicine, Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsSaving for retirement, paying down credit card bills (only high because k��Y0

�m33$60,001 - $80,000�a8�$60,001 - $80,000The emotional impact of my student loan debt has been significant and long-lasting. Carrying this financial burden has caused ongoing stress, anxiety, and worry about my future. It affects my mental health by creating constant feelings of pressure and uncertainty, making it difficult to focus fully on personal or professional goals.

It has also impacted my relationships at times causing strain due to financial limitations, as I’ve had to make difficult choices about social activities, travel, or other experiences. The debt has made me feel limited in pursuing opportunities that align with my passions, and at times it has affected my self-confidence, as I feel held back compared to others without this financial weight.

Overall, the debt has created an emotional burden that touches many areas of my life, from day-to-day stress to long-term planning, relationships, and my overall well-being.Food (groceries, eating out, take out), Rent or Mortgage, Utilities and telecommunications (natural gas, electricity, cable, internet, cellphone), Vehicle payments, Paying down credit cards or other debts, Savings, retirement, or investmentsIf I did not have student loan payments, I would be able to put that money toward improving my financial stability and overall quality of life. My first priority would be building savings and creating a stronger safety net for unexpected expenses. I would also invest more toward retirement to ensure long-term security.

In addition, I would be able to focus on personal and family goals, such as putting money aside for travel, homeownership, or pursuing professional development opportunities that could further my career. Without the weight of student loan payments, I would finally have the freedom to plan for��g0

Since I live in Seattle the cost of living has been raised here so high that payment alone plunged me into bankruptcy. Along with the Republican party destroying healthcare so my clients could no longer pay for ny services as a mental health counselor, the agencies who pay nothing for my services  then  was not hired due to ageism( which was verified by an employee who worked there?  I had to claim bankruptcy and was only able to save my home because of a Washington law that changed during COVID.  I do not trust I can sell and keep it in this Trump regime, since they have taken any protections away  from all of us with destroying the Consumer Protection Bureau. Chase bank sent me to this mortgage company who  only work with bankruptcy mortgage holders. I have now paid my mortgage consistently for 4 years but they will not verify my credit with credit agencies. I have a severe genetic condition of my lower ,lumbar spine and my cervical neck  and now am losing  feeling in my hands and feet with severe pain in my neck and arms.

I am aging under massive stress  from this and  am being broken psychologically and emotionally from the attack on the American people by Republican politics. I went to a school that grifted me and got away with it- Argosy University.  The Republican party the day I graduated, raised my interest rates to 6. 8 and 6.4 % then Navient who would not let me pay down on the highest interest loans first, Trumps previous administrator, DeVoss who required by their standards me to pay $855.00 a month. Since I live in Seattle the cost of living has been raised here so high that payment alone plunged me into bankruptcy. Along with the Republican party destroying healthcare so my clients could no longer pay for ny services as a mental health counselor, the agencies who pay nothing for my services  then  was not hired due to ageism( which was verified by an employee who worked there?  I had to claim bankruptcy and was only able to save my home because of a Washington law that changed during COVID.  I do not trust I can sell and keep it in this Trump regime, since they have taken any protections away  from all of us with destroying the Consumer Protection Bureau. Chase bank sent me to this mortgage company who  only work with bankruptcy mortgage holders. I have now paid my mortgage consistently for 4 years but they will not verify my credit with credit agencies.

I had a low paying job when I exited school.  I was forced to forebear as there were no other options at the time.  But, of course, the interest kept growing and growing. When I began to make more money, the interest had made my payments so large that I could not afford them again. I was making small payments at the time Sallie Mae forced me into default.  It was only AFTER I had defaulted and rehabilitated my loan that they made me aware of IDR.  And what do you know?  I could afford those payments. But the balance has grown to a ridiculous number.  I have been current with regular payments in IDR and the SAVE since then.  Despite having paid back my original amount several times over, I still owe a whopping $332k!   I have followed all the rules. And I’ve never had an issue paying back my loan with reasonable interest.  But this is usery.  I feel like my loan is being used to fund tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. When I hear the dollar amounts being spent on things like National Guard deployments, renovations to a jet and the White House, and constant vacations and trips of the current administration, I want to cry or scream or both.

�G33RobynHolmrobynhlm@aol.com3004046-55$150,001 or more$150,001 or moreHouseholdMore than 100,000��B?I am constantly anxious and distracted knowing my student loans are being manipulated for political gain.  I have been taking gummies at night so I can sleep!  I’m supposed to have 23 payments left in IDR but have no idea what is happening. My boyfriend/partner is also stressed and we cannot make any major financial decisions which include a new vehicle and relocation to be closer to family.  I will be unable (again) to save for retirement if my payments shoot up and/or are significantly extended.  I am 53 years old and fear I’ll be made to die in the gutter by the current administration.  I’ve lost confidence in my government and politicians.  No one is on my side….no one.Vehicle payments, Savings, retirement, or investments, Paying down credit cards or other debtsA new vehicle, relocation closer to familyI borrowed $41k in the 90’s for college and a Masters degree. I was the first person in my family to go to college.  My mother raised me as a single parent, working as a nurses aide at the North Dakota State Hospital.  I had a low paying job when I exited school.  I was forced to forebear as there were no other options at the time.  But, of course, the interest kept growing and growing. When I began to make more money, the interest had made my payments so large that I could not afford them again. I was making small payments at the time Sallie Mae forced me into default.  It was only AFTER I had defaulted and rehabilitated my loan that they made me aware of IDR.  And what do you know?  I could afford those payments. But the balance has grown to a ridiculous number.  I have been current with regular payments in IDR and the SAVE since then.  Despite having paid back my original amount several times over, I still owe a whopping $332k!   I have followed all the rules. And I’ve never had an issue paying back my loan with reasonable interest.  But this is usery.  I feel like my loan is being used to fund tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. When I hear the dollar amounts being spent on things like National Guard deployments, renovations to a jet and the White House, and constant vacations and trips of the current administration, I want to cry or scream or both.  My balance, which is all interest/fees, is nothing compared to the rampant spending going on by the current administration.
