A quotation from Judith Martin
Allowing an unimportant mistake to pass without a comment is a wonderful social grace […] Children who have the habit of constantly correcting should be stopped before they grow up to drive spouses and everyone else crazy by interrupting stories to say, “No, dear — it was Tuesday, not Wednesday.”
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]

Hey just want to clear something up because I’m seeing a lot of panic around student loans and wage garnishment, and I think some of it is coming from misinformation (probably amplified by some fearmongering voices on the far left 😬).
👉 If you're NOT in default on your federal student loans, you are not at risk of wage garnishment or aggressive collections.
Default means you've gone 270+ days without a payment, so unless that’s you, this does not apply.
Most people I know (and I’m guessing many of you too) are on Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans, possibly even with $0 payments due, and those are totally fine. I'm on one myself — low interest, paused payments, and fully in good standing. No collections, no threats, no drama.
What’s actually happening:
🔹 Starting May 5, 2025, the Department of Education is resuming collections — but only on loans that are in DEFAULT.
🔹 That could include things like wage garnishment, but only for people who haven’t made a payment in nearly a year.
🔹 Official source here: https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-begin-federal-student-loan-collections-other-actions-help-borrowers-get-back-repayment
If you're unsure, log in at studentaid.gov and check your status. If you’re on an IDR plan and in good standing, you're fine. Don’t let the noise mess with your peace of mind.
Stay informed, and don’t let the propaganda (left or right) run your life 💙

Greta Li and I got a #CFPB blog post to drop on y'all:
"How are #mortgages with a #COVID-related #forbearance performing in 2023?"
"While we expressed concern in both 2021 and 2022 about borrowers’ ability to recover from periods of forbearance, our most recent analysis shows that the majority of borrowers in forbearance in 2021 – including Black and Hispanic borrowers – were largely able to become current on their payments by March 2023."

Show #forbearance and #benevolence and #love to one another. Should any one among you be incapable of grasping a certain truth, or be striving to comprehend it, show forth, when conversing with him, a spirit of extreme #kindliness and #goodwill. Help him to see and recognize the truth, without esteeming yourself to be, in the least, superior to him, or to be possessed of greater endowments.
Bahá’u’lláh
Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 8
