Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I have so much debt that I'm certain this regime will fuck up and make it worse for me, there's little recourse to getting assistance with any sort of other debt. I keep trying to save but shit.keeps.breaking. I'll never own a home, never retire, I barely have a comfortable life. Tell me what I'm not doing what those intrusive thoughts are telling to do again?
declare bankruptcy, that's what it's for
It doesn't clear student loan debt, I have to have a level of hardship I don't have. I'm able to pay my debts but I'm left with little afterwards. It's a crummy catch 22 system overall and bankruptcy isn't a magical get out of debt want. It hampers you in the new red lining they call "Credit Score."
ooooooh, yeah....for studen loan debt i recommend just paying the absolute legal minimum to keep it from any sort of collections/default status (which, last i checked was like 50-100$/month?), then pretending the rest doesn't exist.
eventually, either a sane government comes into power and clears all actively paying debts for an easy voter-support win, or the USA collapses entirely into a MAGA-amerikkka paradise and we probably have a 2nd civil war...either way not your problem
Nope, they killed the SAVE act so it's gone up significantly from under that. If you don't meet minimum payments it's considered defaulting and you can bet this regime will be aggressive in collecting that money.
They're already talking about garnishing wages.
Is it possible to take out another loan and use that to pay off the student loan, then declare bankruptcy for that new loan? I’m sure there must be a rule against this, I can’t be the first to think of it.
You have to find someone who would do so without collateral of some sort. Which you're not likely to find so you'd lose that collateral in the bankruptcy proceedings. Even federal student loans are predatory.
Starting next month I thought.
Jeez, already? Ugh
