We currently have about $280k in unsubsidized student loan debt (gotta love doctoral programs!), plus a mortgage and some random other debts which will be paid off by the beginning of the year. Every time we look at ideas when it comes to paying off student loans, it seems like we get a different answer, so I'm looking for some more opinions in general. As it stands, we're on an income-based repayment plan. Assuming our incomes don't change at all, over the course of 25 years we would be...Read More...

Have you ever taken out a payday loan? These short term loans have been discussed a lot in the news lately because federal plans to restrict payday lending (basically, a lender would have to prove you can probably pay the loan before giving it out) have been shelved for now. A lot of people say payday loans are evil because of their fees - some have interest as much as 700% . But others say they're essential for people who are unbanked or underbanked, meaning they manage their money outside...Read More...

So last year, I had a veterinary emergency for one of my pets that was not covered by his pet insurance. It blew through my savings and then some, but at the end of it, his quality of life is much higher and his life expectancy is normal. I'd do it again. Except now I'm stuck trying to crawl my way out of the debt and that's been a challenge. I don't make a ton of money but live in a HCOL. I've been trying to avalanche it, but aggressively doing so has made me not as financially stable on a...Read More...

A while back I was in pretty bad credit card debt due to school, repairs, and, to be honest, several years of not great financial decisions. I ended up getting approved for a personal loan last year and was able to pay off almost all of that debt. However, I moved back out on my own a few months later and due to paying rent, power, etc, along with having to do a few thousand dollars of work on my car and continual medical expenses, I am now in worse debt than I was before. I'm trying to get...Read More...

I have about 5000.00 in credit card debt. My account was high jacked and some company out of Daytona Beach was billing my debit card monthly, causing my pmts. To bounce. Now they want double payments, which I can’t afford so they tack on extra fees. I feel like I’m drowning. I disputed these charges and they are returning money slowly. I get a check once a month on disability because of a broken back ( chronic fracture) my credit score in the 500 range and no body wants to give me a loan.Read More...

I bought an older (37 yo) fixer upper townhome last September and thought I got a good discount on it. Well I have replaced the whole heating and air system, had to run new duct work, had to replace windows to be able to see out. I had radiation treatments in Jan & Feb and was sick the whole time. Finally went to pulmonologist and found out I have mold in my lungs. So I'm in the process of having mold testing being done. They found a couple of places that were black and hairy and did a...Read More...

I have found some great apps to help pay down my student loans and they send the money direct to the loan co. for you. Some of the apps also allow you to list credit card debt and auto loans too. They each charge a small processing fee each month but it is worth it. I have an iPhone so I'm not sure if these apps are also offered on the Android platform but their website will tell you. Chipper - newest app to the market offers ways to make extra payments besides the spare change round-ups.Read More...

I just got a letter in the mail today from a collection agency about a medical bill that I had no idea I owed. Apparently, my old address was on file so it took a while to get to me. The bill is from 2017 but I thought I had paid all my medical bills in July of 2018, but my hospital said they don't show amounts on the online portal I use if it has been sent to collections. The problem is, I don't recall ever being outstanding for very long and although my payments do show I missed a month,...Read More...

I have only one credit card, and recently paid off the entire $10,000 balance. My brother, a rabid Dave Ramsey fan, strongly suggested I close this account. I currently have a credit rating of over 800, and I want to keep my score high, in case I need to utilize credit in the future. Thoughts?Read More...
