So my student loans were automatically put into forbearance

We're both still working full-time so I had planned to keep paying but I guess I don't have to until November now. That's pretty cool that's an extra $123 a month that I can now put into my dying portfolio.

I was on an IDR plan so the no interest through September is nice, but the inevitable amount of debt I will probably never pay back still stands.

I'm on IDR, too. Trying to do the PSLF program thing if it even still exists when I'll qualify for it. Think I have like, 6 or 7 years to go because the year and a half I worked at the residential facility doesn't count since I wasn't "full time" despite the fact that I averaged 40+ hours a week. Also the forbearance just adds on to my time since PSLF is based on when you make 120 monthly payments and since I have no monthly payment due right now, any payment I make would just be "extra" so why bother.

So were mine. I'm just gonna' keep putting money into it as much as possible, because I'm just ready to be done with it by next year. An extra $200 in my account would be nice when all of this shit blows over.

I would make payments also but it literally would go nowhere, like throwing money into a hole.  I hear you.
