  • You don’t need your mask

    Mandi it’s ok to be depressed. I started therapy again this week. I felt myself spiraling into the dark spaces and I’m fighting my way back to the light. Fight when you can, rest when you’re tired, cry when it hurts. You have to live where you are. It’s ok. I’m proud of you for sharing your struggles. Your honesty is helping me heal.

BA Q&A: Should I Keep Paying My Student Loans While PSLF?
Q: Since my loans are currently in deferment due to being a student again, do I stop making payments and focus on the hopeful move and new mortgage payment?
Payments made during in-school deferment do not count as qualifying PSLF payments, so it may be reasonable to redirect the $500 payment toward savings or other financial goals instead of continuing to make non-qualifying payments.
