taerowynSometimes I'm amused by the different perceptions my parents have. Was talking to my mom today and told her that I had received my first loan bill (a Yikes! but a Yikes! I was expecting). Anyway, she asked how much it was monthly and when I told her she was completely shocked. I asked "Why do you think I've been so worried about getting a job?" She really had no idea of the reality of my education debt.
Of course now I have the problem that between now and the end of August I have two rent checks and two loan checks to write and will only have half a full-time and one part-time paycheck to do it with. I'm considering putting the loan in forbearance for a month or two, just until the full-time paychecks kick in on a normal schedule. From what I understand, I won't be penalized re: credit rating and what not, but will just be earning interest like normal on the principal.
Off to do so more research...
