Date: May 12th, 2013 2:58 PM Author: Drab Location Am I understanding PAYE and PLSF correctly? Basically a free loan at this point, right? My loans are currently in deferment (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23183552) |

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:03 PM Author: trip cobalt karate office I dunno bro. getting the government to pay off your debts is for losers. if you have the opportunity to have yourself bailed out, go for it. but don't go looking for approval here if youre serious about trying to fuck the system.

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:06 PM Author: histrionic ratface I'm against the PAYE system, but it's kind of stupid not to take advantage of opportunities like this if you think they're good for you. Big business takes advantage of shitty subsidies and tax incentives all the time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23183963) |

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:17 PM Author: histrionic ratface true, I would not really do this but the incentive is there and for someone who dreams of getting a degree in some shitty humanities field and has no career prospects, I think it's actually probably a good idea for them personally.

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:13 PM Author: trip cobalt karate office yes youre really sticking it to the boomers by getting useless 50k/yr graduate degrees, the proceeds from which go right into boomer pockets, and then having the government bail you out with money borrowed from china, the effects of which wont really be felt until the boomers are near or past death and which will eventually contribute to the disintegration of the economy of the country in which you have to live for the next fifty years.

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:07 PM Author: Provocative set Debt fucks you for other borrowing (e.g. mortgage loans) even with a forgiveness plan, and the new debt will only be forgiven 10 years after it's taken out, not at the same time as the old debt. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23183971) |
|
Date: May 12th, 2013 4:11 PM Author: Drab Location yah but i haven't started paying off my loans yet. copped that forbearance. my plan is to get the part-time MBA, delay paying back LS loans for another 2-3 years, get some living expense loan money to bank away, then start my 10-year PSLF repayments (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23184009) |
|
Date: May 12th, 2013 4:12 PM Author: Provocative set A forbearance is dumb if you're PAYE eligible. You can just enroll in PAYE with no income and have the time count towards your forgiveness period. Your clarified plan causes all the problems I suggested in my first post, plus it drags out your original debt burden. |

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:15 PM Author: Drab Location i live in a rent-stabilized apt in MFH that's well under market value. i ain't getting a mortgage anytime soon. i work full-time now, so i don't have zero income. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23184068) |
|
Date: May 12th, 2013 4:16 PM Author: Provocative set You're confident you won't want a mortgage or other loan in the next 12 years? You wouldn't qualify for forbearance with a full-time job. |

Date: May 12th, 2013 4:18 PM Author: Drab Location deferment or whatever it is. you can avoid paying fed loans back for 3 years, no questions asked (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254013&forum_id=2#23184095) |
|
Date: May 12th, 2013 4:23 PM Author: Provocative set That's not true at all. 3 years is the maximum deferment period if you're unemployed. There's no program to avoid payment if you're working full time unless your income is so low that PAYE/IBR don't require payment. http://studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans/deferment-forbearance#what-is-deferment |
