Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
You know you are an adult (and posting in “the YAY! Thread”) when you spend Friday and Saturday driving 10 hours and staying in a shitty hotel for a night just to score a massive haul of MCM furniture for Casa del ZIG.
I seriously haven’t had this type of buzz since I bought my house in a fleece 7 years ago.

The furniture saga continues.
An estate came up on Facebook yesterday with more of the vintage MCM furniture in the same brand and style that I purchased last week in Iowa. This time the haul was local in the twin cities.
Needless to say, I spent 7 years searching for the “right” vintage furniture; but in the span of 8 days, I ended up gobbling up 2 hutches, 2 dining tables each with 2 leaves, 11 matching armless dining chairs + 1 matching captains chair, 2 more near matching captains chairs, a table protector pad, and all the accompanying original sliding glass pieces and shelves.
So anyone with student loan debt probably knows something about the ongoing saga in which the Biden administration has been trying to wipeout a sizable amount of debt for most borrowers. Their efforts to provide relief and stimulate the economy got hung up in the courts of course. However, there are other programs that successfully accomplish something similar by other means, most notably for people working in public service.
A couple months ago, I also found out that having undergraduate loans in repayment for 20 years and on an income-driven repayment plan is also supposed to qualify you (or 25 years for grad loans). This has been a struggle due to incomplete and poorly reported data, but they've stepped up their efforts to forgive more qualifying loans, and I just received notice that I qualify! After 20 years since I initially began repayment, I still had a balance of over 20k which, as of today, is finally gone.
Man, this is a weight off my shoulders, as it had been a long, hard slog. Some income-related forebearances along the way didn't count against me, nor did the fact that fact that I'm not on an income-driven plan anymore. Now I hope that any of you who may be getting closer to retirement age than college age can benefit from this. I would have loved to have paid this off a long time ago but it just wasn't in the cards, as just eating and keeping the lights on was difficult at times. Now I'm happy to say that I won't be paying for my own education into my 50's and 60's, which was beginning to look realistic, and can add a little more to my meager retirement savings. Yay!

Don’t forget to vote against your interests in the fall. JK, congrats. We really need to see more of these types of stories promoting various Biden policies.

My partner and I just closed on our dream home! Not much for most, but getting my dream house, dream wedding, and dream career by 32 feels like quite the blessing. At certain points, I never thought these things would be possible. I am very very grateful today.
