Join Jim and Greg for this special Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they each focus on three stories that slipped through the cracks of media coverage and deserve a lot more attention, both at home and abroad.First, Jim highlights just how dire the health of Social Security is, how big of a loss recipients are likely to suffer, and whether either party has any good ideas of how to deal with this. Greg hopes American voters are paying at least a little bit of attention to elections in Latin america, where in nation after nation, voters are giving socialists the boot. Will we learn the lessons they're trying to teach us.Next, Jim updates the Russia-Ukraine war, including the ominous trend of Russian drones attacking Eastern European nations beyond Ukraine. Will the Trump administration address this issue? Meanwhile, Greg praises federal prosecutors for charging members of Antifa for plotting to impede ICE in Minneapolis. But he slams local prosecutors for not pursuing charges against the anti-ICE invaders of Cities Church.Finally, Jim explains how Joe Biden's misguided promises of student loan debt forgiveness actually made life financially harder for those who took out the loans. Greg calls out the "independent" U.S. Senate candidates in Nebraska and Montana for fundraising through the left's Act Blue apparatus.  Please visit our great sponsors:IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLHomeServeFor 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini to find the plan that's right for you.

Major shifts to federal student aid kick in on July 1, including strict limits on how much graduate students can borrow from the federal government. The new loan caps raise questions about who can access graduate education in the U.S., who should pay for it, and whether the country's workforce pipeline can keep pace with the growing demand for highly-skilled professionals.

1030. If you have federal student loans or plan to use them to finance higher education, you must understand significant upcoming changes to the program. Find out the benefits and downsides of new legislation and how it could affect your finances if you're a current or future student loan borrower. Key takeawaysDue to the One Big Beautiful Bill, massive changes to federal student loans will roll out on July 1, 2026, including annual and lifetime borrowing limitsThe SAVE repayment plan is shutting down, and those currently enrolled must choose a new repayment plan within 90 days of notification from their lender.Borrowers who miss the SAVE deadline will be automatically enrolled in standard repayment, which could spike their monthly payments.Federal student loan repayment plans will be cancelled or phased out and replaced by the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), which launches on July 1, 2026.RAP sets payments at 1% to 10% of your adjusted gross income, waives any unpaid monthly interest, matches up to $50 per month toward your principal balance, and extends loan forgiveness to 30 years.If you want to shorten your loan forgiveness, enrolling in a legacy repayment plan may be a better option to discuss with your loan servicer.

At 31, James sat down at a kitchen table with his wife Aida, ran the numbers on the next 30 years, and didn't like what he saw—$200,000 in student loans and a retirement plan neither of them believed in. So they stopped waiting for a change, and built something instead. Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Our guest, James Doren, and wife, Aida, didn't have a trust fund or an obvious path forward. They had a spreadsheet, a private money lender, and an empty space above their garage. This accessory dwelling unit (ADU) solution added 50% value on their equity, wiped out their student loans, and set them on a path that most investors never consider: intentionally shrinking their portfolio from 10 doors to 4. But the deal that surprised them most didn't come from an agent or Zillow. It came from a tenant who knocked on their door with a problem the bank couldn't solve! James breaks down the house hack that started it all, how he convinced a private money lender to fund the build, and the rent-to-own agreement he structured for his tenant that gave both sides exactly what they needed. If you've ever sat at your own kitchen table and wondered if there's a better way…James's story is your proof that there is! In This Episode We Cover How James and Aida used weekly money dates to align on their financial goals and take their first step into real estate The ADU build that created $160K in equity How to approach a private money lender and handle the tough questions Why James intentionally sold 6 properties and why owning fewer doors actually made him more money!  The rent-to-own agreement a tenant brought to them: how it works, what an option fee is, and why it removed all their risk And So Much More!

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://thecollegeinvestor.com/21917/how-student-loans-work/ Quotes to ponder: "Taking more loan money than what is needed will cost more in interest and increase your monthly loan payments."

"If you don't repay a student loan, the government can garnish your wages, take your tax returns, and more."

Learn what the AI IPO boom could do to reshape your index funds and how to fund years of grad school with no income. With SpaceX set to debut as the biggest IPO in history — and OpenAI and Anthropic filing to follow — what does this landmark moment in the markets actually mean for your portfolio? Senior news editor Rick VanderKnyff and investing writer Sam Taub join hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola to break down the latest AI IPO news. They discuss what makes SpaceX's offering the largest public offering ever, what the historical track record of IPOs says about buying in at the opening price, and a quietly consequential change to index fund inclusion rules that could leave passive investors with a far bigger stake in mega-cap AI companies than they anticipated. They also explain what direct indexing is and how it could give you more control over what lands in your portfolio. How do you manage your money when you're leaving a career to spend up to three years in graduate school with no income? Sean and Elizabeth tackle a listener's detailed, multi-part question about funding a $117,000 occupational therapy doctorate. They explore whether a Roth IRA conversion could be a smart way to capitalize on low-tax years before graduation, what the new federal student loan borrowing caps under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act mean for graduate students' funding plans, how deferring an existing $17,000 in student debt could play out over time, and what to weigh before earning money on the side while in school.

For millions of graduates, student loans are just another deduction on the payslip. But what does Plan 2 actually mean — and why has it become one of the most controversial policies affecting young people in Britain?This week, Ava Santina takes a deep dive into the student loan system created under the Cameron-Clegg coalition and asks whether today's graduates have been sold a raw deal. From £9,000 tuition fees and RPI-linked interest rates to frozen repayment thresholds and balances that seem to grow despite years of repayments, Ava unpacks how the system works and why it has become a political flashpoint.Joining the podcast is former Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, who reflects on the origins of the policy, the political decisions that shaped it, and whether governments have underestimated the impact on a generation of graduates.With young people facing soaring housing costs, stagnant living standards and mounting debt, Ava asks whether Sir Keir Starmer's government should go further to reform Plan 2 loans. Would reducing interest rates, raising repayment thresholds or redesigning the system altogether put more money back into the pockets of younger workers? And can politicians afford to ignore the growing backlash?Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode you will hear: Mark talks about some new and creative ways AO's are using AI Mark interviews Andy Strickler about the challenges college admission leaders faced in 2026. Part 2-Preview o We continue our conversation about the reasons why Connecticut College is adding Early Action o We talk about some of the creative ways colleges are trying to yield students o We talks about some creative ways colleges recruit students and we have a honest conversation about is this practice fair to both parties or does it cross the line and is it not student-centric. Some of the things I say are probably not going to land well with everyone but one thing you can always count on from me, I calls balls and strikes how I see them, and Andy is the same way, which is why I love doing these deep dives on college admissions with Andy every 3 months.
