One new thing I have garnered is the knowledge that all that money that the government lent me these past four years, they now want back. I know. Sick.
So, I phoned my loan officer, Ms. Cash, (not even joking) to explain that I'm rather low income and my husband is still in school, so can I please, please join the low-income payment plan. The conversation went something like this.
Me: Can I apply for the low-income program?
Her: Absolutely. I can fax you an application right away.
Me: Great, thanks.
Her: So, just so I can give you a heads up on whether or not you qualify, can you tell me what your gross monthly income is?
Me: Yup. It's about 1600 a month.
Her: *long pause* Um...you know, I won't even send you the application. You'll qualify.
I'm very grateful...and a bit insulted.
ha!
ReplyDeleteThat conversation is great. ...and sad. You are doing much better then I, so don't feel bad.
I didn't know you were blogging again, Em. Awesome! :)
If you could let your husband know that he and I need to start up our snobbish Indy music blog sometime in the near future, I'd be much abliged.
I too have an experience using the student loans and so far I didn't regret in applying for it as it had really helped me a lot in attaining my educational career.
