People who are in default on their federal student loans could start seeing their wages garnished in the new year. Next week, the Department of Education plans to start sending out letters to borrowers who have missed at least nine months of payments, letting them know the government will begin taking 15% from their paychecks. Also, the U.S. Mint pressed the final batch of pennies last month. We examine the penny's 232-year run.

Filing taxes married filing separately can be one of the most powerful tools for lowering income-driven student loan payments. But it's also one of the easiest ways to make costly mistakes if you're not careful. Meagan McGuire, CFP®, ChFC®, CSLP®, walks through what borrowers need to double-check before tax season hits. You'll learn when filing separately actually saves money, when it backfires, and how community property states completely change the math. Key moments: (05:32) Why married filing separately can dramatically lower IDR payments (09:58) Real numbers: comparing tax cost vs. student loan savings (17:28) The Roth IRA trap many married borrowers miss (23:37) Why community property states often create extra student loan savings   Like the show?

 What happens when pandemic-era student loan relief officially ends? The U.S. Department of Education plans to resume wage garnishment in early 2026 for borrowers who remain in default, marking a return to pre-pandemic enforcement practices. Officials say borrowers will receive notice and options before garnishment begins, but the move signals a tougher stance on unpaid federal student loans. (Source: Barron's)

New repayment rules and borrowing caps are forcing a rethink of long-term planning.By Rory Henry CFP®, BFA™For CPA TrendlinesStudent loan debt has quietly outgrown its stereotype.What was once viewed as a challenge for early-career professionals is now showing up in family balance sheets, tax returns, and retirement plans. Parents nearing retirement—and retirees themselves—are increasingly carrying education debt, often on behalf of their children. For CPAs and financial advisors, student loans are no longer a niche planning issue. They're a multigenerational one. MORE Rory Henry and The Holistic Guide to Wealth Management BUY the Holistic Guide to Wealth Management With more than $1.8 trillion in federal student loan debt spread across 42.5 million borrowers, the scale alone demands attention. But it's the shifting who—not just the how much—that makes this moment critical for advisors.That shift is the focus of this episode of Holistic Guide to Wealth Management, featuring Alex Bottom, CEO of Finology, and Ryan Galiotto, CFP®, CSLP®, founder of the Student Loan Help Network. Their conversation unpacks how legislation, demographics, and delayed life milestones are reshaping student loan planning—and why advisors can't afford to sit this one out.

The Trump administration announces it will begin garnishing wages for unpaid student loans, and Joe Pags says it's the right move — while also making his case that student loans should be low-interest or interest-free. Callers weigh in, and the debate gets lively and revealing. Then Jesse Lopez joins the show for a must-hear medical deep dive. Dr. Lopez explains what it really means when the immune system is compromised, why he's critical of continued COVID booster shots, and what people should understand about GLP-1 drugs, including the much-talked-about “Ozempic face.” He breaks down how the immune system responds to medications and what patients aren't being told.

Money is getting TIGHT everywhere. Student loan wage garnishments start in January, Americans racked up $1,223 in holiday debt, hackers stole $2.7 billion in crypto, and the EV industry just hit a wall. We break down all four stories and what they mean for your money.QUICK UPDATE: Our flight to Michigan got cancelled so we filmed this before leaving Tuesday Dec 23rd. This is our second couples episode - we're still figuring out the format but these stories were too important to wait.STUDENT LOAN WAGE GARNISHMENT RETURNSStarting January 7th, the government will begin garnishing up to 15% of borrowers' wages if they're in default on student loans. This hasn't happened since the pandemic started almost five years ago. Right now 5.3 million borrowers are in default, with another 3.7 million delinquent and 2.7 million in early stages - that's 12 million total borrowers at risk. We explain who's affected, how much they'll lose from their paychecks, what options are available, and why the timing is brutal for people already struggling financially.HOLIDAY DEBT HITS RECORD LEVELSAbout 36% of holiday shoppers went into debt this season, racking up an average of $1,223 on credit cards. Total holiday spending is on track to hit $1 trillion for the first time ever, even though consumer sentiment is terrible. The average credit card balance per person in the US is now $6,523, up 2.2% from last year. With interest rates around 20%, people who only make minimum payments could spend 9-10 months paying off holiday debt - just in time to start the cycle again next year. We discuss why people are spending despite being worried about money and what this debt spiral means.CRYPTO HACKERS STEAL $2.7 BILLION IN 2025Hackers stole $2.7 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, making it the worst year on record. North Korean state-sponsored hackers were responsible for at least $2 billion of that total. The biggest single theft was $1.4 billion from the Bybit exchange - one of the largest financial heists in human history. We explain how North Korean hackers infiltrate crypto companies by posing as remote IT workers, how they target executives with fake job offers on LinkedIn, how they launder stolen crypto through Chinese money laundering networks, and why North Korea has now stolen $6.75 billion total since 2017 to fund their nuclear weapons program.EV INDUSTRY ENTERS "COOLING-OFF PERIOD"The rapid innovation phase in the EV industry is over. BYD's second-generation blade battery only improved energy density by 12% over five years, compared to nearly doubling it in the previous decade. The average technology iteration cycle for EVs worldwide increased from 1.8 years in 2021 to 3.2 years now. Annual battery energy density growth dropped from 15% to 7%. China's EV penetration is approaching 60%, which means stricter safety regulations starting July 2026. The new standard requires batteries to never catch fire or explode during thermal runaway - a massive engineering challenge. We break down why innovation is slowing, what "technological debt" means, how this changes competition from "who's more advanced" to "who's more solid," and which companies will survive the industry's maturation phase.THE BIG PICTUREAll four stories point to the same reality: the easy money era is ending. Student loan payment pauses are over. Credit is tightening. Crypto isn't as safe as people thought. EV companies can't rely on rapid innovation anymore. Whether you're an individual managing personal finances or watching the EV/crypto industries, things are getting harder and more competitive. This is what happens when temporary support systems end and industries mature.#StudentLoans #CreditCardDebt #CryptoHack #EVIndustry #NorthKorea #HolidayDebt #WageGarnishment #Bitcoin #BYD #Tesla #PersonalFinance #TechNews

Student loans aren't just a financial obligation — they're a moving target. Rules shift, repayment plans evolve, forgiveness programs get redefined, and big deadlines are on the horizon. To help make sense of it all, Melissa Joy, CFP®, sits down with student loan expert David Gourley, founder of K-12 Planning, to break down the latest changes and what they mean for borrowers today.David brings deep expertise from years of helping educators, public service professionals, and families navigate the student loan maze. Together, Melissa and David walk through what's stable, what's shifting, and what borrowers need to pay attention to right now — especially as 2026 brings some of the biggest changes we've seen in years.They explore why Public Service Loan Forgiveness remains intact (despite the headlines), the critical steps Parent PLUS borrowers must take before federal doors close, and how the upcoming Repayment Assistance Program (RAP) could reshape long-term planning for millions. David also shares the little-known strategies around tax filing, repayment timing, and consolidation that can dramatically change someone's loan trajectory.Highlights include:Why PSLF is not going away — and who still qualifiesHow adjunct professors can use a multiplier to qualify as full-timeThe crucial July 1, 2026 deadline for Parent PLUS consolidationWhat RAP is, how it compares to IBR, and why timing matters for borrowersHow long-term forgiveness works (20, 25, or 30 years) — and when it may be taxableHow filing taxes married filing separately can significantly reduce paymentsThe risks of relying on lower payments when interest continues to growWhat changes to borrowing limits mean for grad students and parentsWhen refinancing to a private loan may actually make senseHow to plan ahead when student loan rules continue to evolveIf you're navigating repayment, planning for forgiveness, or preparing to send a child to college, this conversation offers clarity in a landscape that rarely stands still. Melissa and David bring the context, strategy, and grounded perspective borrowers need to make confident decisions — today and in the years ahead.The previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

Visit our website:https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/It's a common expense that many Americans carry – but what if there was a way that you could get something positive out of that debt?In this episode, Dave and Paul discuss student loans and a counter-intuitive idea: extra payments on student loans can keep you capital-poor. They unpack why prioritizing liquidity, via properly structured whole life and the Infinite Banking Concept, can leave you wealthier over time while you still make the minimums. Additionally, the guys touch on average debt realities, how to turn a payoff into a “windfall,” who this strategy is (and isn't) for, and a legit path some borrowers use to shrink federal loan payments.Episodes Referenced:Episode 11 Using IBC To Eliminate Debt: https://youtu.be/KiQ-pEcwKx4?si=nG1YeKsxcWmdxQ7NEpisode 26 Is a 15 year Mortgage Really Better Than a 30 year Mortgage? https://youtu.be/IwRn9UNbowU?si=6Soe_ns4XMkDF7ixBecoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash:https://infinitebanking.org/product/becoming-your-own-banker/ref/46/Episode Highlights:0:00 - Intro1:17 - Episode beginning4:07 - Breaking old mindsets9:02 - Some of the data10:34 - The alternative16:01 - What if you just paid it off?22:08 - Colleges and trades23:30 - If you still have student loan debt..27:04 - Episode wrap-upABOUT YOUR HOSTS:David Befort and Paul Fugere are the hosts of the Wealth Warehouse Podcast.

Big changes are in store for the federal student loan program. President Trump’s tax and spending bill, which was signed into law last summer, ends a supplemental loan for graduate students and caps  the amount they can borrow from the government. It also allows students in professional programs, such as law and medicine, to borrow more than students in other graduate programs, such as nursing or social work.   The bill reduces students’ loan repayment options from seven to two. It also phases out the Biden-era SAVE plan, which was the most flexible income-driven repayment option.         Jennifer Bell is the director of financial aid at Portland State University. Susan Bakewell-Sachs is the vice president of nursing affairs and dean of the School of Nursing at Oregon Health & Science University. They join us to discuss what the changes could mean for students who rely on loans, particularly to get advanced degrees.  

Student loans have shifted so many times this year that even well-informed professionals are unsure what rules still apply.  Iván Watanabe and Evan Wohl talk with returning guest Joe McGrath of GradFin to help bring clarity to a landscape that feels anything but stable right now. Joe explains what borrowers should understand about the SAVE … Read More Read More

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vivian sat down with Joel Kim Booster to explore the surprisingly complex finances of building a comedy career across standup, writing, and acting. Joel breaks down what comedians actually earn from Netflix specials, how he navigated the transition from day jobs to full-time comedy, and why selling out theaters doesn't automatically mean financial security. He answers the big questions about balancing artistic integrity with commercial opportunities, managing the unpredictable income streams of the entertainment industry, what building wealth looks like as a performer, and how being an openly gay Asian American comic has shaped his approach to money and success. Joel also shares what it's really like working in writers' rooms versus touring solo, from "Fire Island" to his standup specials, and why maintaining creative control has been just as important as landing the biggest gigs.  Keep up with Joel on Instagram and watch LOOT on Apple TV!

New limits on student loans could reshape how the U.S. trains nurses and doctors. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, medical students would be capped at borrowing $50,000 per year. The Trump administration is now proposing a stricter cap for graduate degrees in nursing, public health or social work.
