Speaking from a household with $700/month student loan payments the EO extending forebearance until September 30, 2021 is a major step toward freeing *generations* from educational debt and enabling us to invest in and financially support our communities.
Permanent forgiveness for all holders of federal student loans is the next step.
Some small but important things we have been able to do while NOT paying $700 in student loan interest:
1. Tip 25% on all takeout and delivery
2. Support our local mutual aid grocery fund at $100/month
3. Support the local service workers union at $50/month
4. Pay our vet bills

5. Send $25 here and $50 there to friends out of work or otherwise struggling
6. Order from local stores rather than Amazon because we could absorb shipping costs and slightly higher pricepoints.
7. Cut the debt on our credit card in half

8. Run the #QueerJoyGiveaway ($100/month)
9. Send care packages without stress and anxiety over how much postage was going to cost
10. Donate more spontaneously when needed vs. carefully planning out monthly charitable giving
