re: Student Loan payments restarting

if you are putting the money aside and letting it earn interest obviously that's fine/even better but let's not get nuanced over it. The guy SPENT the money on other stuff. That's the whole point.

It's not how I would have handled it, but so what if he did? He's still "on-time" with his loans once they restart, and all that money he saved/spent he can go back to making payments to his student loans.

At least from what he's saying, he has no interest in walking away from the loan, he just had no desire to pay on a loan that was not accruing interest and did not require principal payments at the time.
