I’ve got about $25k left on my student loans, and just as I was starting to get a handle on the payments, my partner and I had a baby last month. Now, with all the extra expenses - diapers, formula, doctor visits - it feels like any progress on the loans is slipping away. We’ve tried cutting back on everything non-essential, but the bills keep piling up, and I’m stressed about what this means long-term. I’m working full-time but my partner had to take unpaid leave to help with the newborn. I’m worried about needing to pause or reduce loan payments, but I don’t want to make things worse with interest. Has anyone else been in this spot? How did you manage juggling new parent costs without falling behind on your loans? Also, are there any options I should look into for student loan relief while caring for a newborn?
