160k loans, 80k salary - help me figure this shit out
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 8th, 2010 10:59 PM Author: Filthy Scourge Upon The Earth T14 grad, 160k loans, half public at 6.8 (@#$% staffords), half private at anywhere from 5-7%
Making 80k a year - take home is about $4,000/month.
Monthly loan payments are around $2,000. Yeah you read that right. Not eligible for IBR (right on the cusp), not doing govt work so no loan forgiveness. Rent/food/utils etc. about $1,000.
Kill self?

|
Date: February 8th, 2010 11:11 PM Author: Gay beady-eyed digit ratio point i mean, obviously it would mean putting in a decent amount of hours, but 5 hrs a week at $50/hr cuts your loan payments in half, essentially (ahem..some of the money i made this way might not have made it onto my tax return..ahem..not legal advice)
it's a legitimate strategy if you're willing to work at it and hustle a little. i mean i know you didn't graduate top 25% at a good school to find yourself teaching the lsat, but what else are you going to do to boost your income until the economy turns around? |

I would save 90% of the money that isn't within that budget. The rest you can spend on nice electronics, furniture, clothes, whatever. |

Date: February 9th, 2010 12:44 AM Author: Filthy Scourge Upon The Earth so digging deeper, looks like i might qualify for IBR - anyone have any experience with this? my fed loans are scattered among 3 different lenders, how does it work with multiple lenders?
i could potentially lower monthly payments to 1500-1700, seems like a huge amount in my situation |
|
Date: February 9th, 2010 12:46 AM Author: outnumbered electric furnace stage First, do you have federal loans? or just private? federal is covered by IBR, privates are not.
google "ibr" calculator. use one of the calculators, plug in your numbers and it'll tell you if you qualify
|
|
Date: February 9th, 2010 12:48 AM Author: Filthy Scourge Upon The Earth yes, approx 70-80k federal
i used the calculator just now and it said i possibly qualify when I combined all my fed loans together - across 3 different lenders (1. staffords, 2. consolidated staffords, 3. perkins)
have you done this? how do you get the multiple lenders to work together? |

Date: February 9th, 2010 12:50 AM Author: outnumbered electric furnace stage best thing to do is call DOE, explain your situation and let them help you.
if they're federally backed, you're good. |
