I’m not a wartime profiteer, but I don’t have issue with those that are such.

I don't see the issue with this. I want my mortgage paid off asap but if I had other debt it would be smart. Not like he's still from the mortgage company. They're getting theirs plus.

I don’t waste time caring what others do. Life is too short.

Except that your mortgage will now say in forbearance on your credit bureau


Not if the forbearance is due to the Covid pandemic per the CARES Act.


It will say affected by declared disaster... In forbearance.

Which is a red flag to anyone lending real money.

Another guy I know quit his job. Filed for unemployment and was approved. Making more now than before he quit.



Pretty sure there are very limited circumstances where you can quit and receive unemployment benefits. Sounds like bullshite.

Under normal circumstances I would agree. But the way things are today, most state agencies don't have time to validate every single application.

He needs to read the fine print on his Forebearance....6 months of mortgage payments will be due the month it ends. They don’t tack on to the end 6 more months like people think...they just forgive you having to make payments for these 6 months and then wham...all due at once. At least that’s the way our bank explained it

not true, I forebare five mortgages with three different banks, and two auto loans with two different banks for three months, and none of them made me pay it back at the end.

People in PSLF programs just got a free 6 months, and I don't think less of them for it.


Between my wife and I (both on PSLF track) this saves us about 12k in loan payments this year. You're God damned right I'm going to take advantage of that.

It will all catch up to them. This is won't last or go on too much longer before reality comes back.

shite I want to do that. How does one make that happen? It’s not some gotcha that you have to add the months you don’t pay now to the end of the loan. Sounds like a smart way to save some money right now.

It didn’t mine 830, forebearance doesn’t show as delinquent.

Banks got half a trillion dollars, will make 18 billion just off of loan fees. The stimulus will cost tax payers 40k each, but if you are ok with 1200, so be it.
