Jessica Marshall+FollowStudent Loan Garnishments Are Back 😬Student loan wage garnishments are back after a 5-year break, and the Department of Education is already sending out notices. If you’re in default, up to 15% of your paycheck could be taken automatically. Plus, the popular SAVE repayment plan is ending way earlier than expected, so bills are about to get bigger for millions. If you get a notice, don’t ignore it—you’ve got 30 days to respond. Also, forgiven loans in 2026 will be taxed, so plan ahead! #Education #StudentLoans #Debt20Share

There are ways out, like loan rehab or consolidation, but they’re not quick fixes. If you’re in default, now’s the time to look at your options before your next payday takes a hit! #Education #StudentLoans #Debt150Share
Brandon West+FollowOn Duty, But BrokeI'm a corrections officer at a federal prison. We're "essential," so the shutdown means work as usual—a dangerous job, 12-hour shifts. The only difference? I'm not getting paid. My car broke down last week; $600 to fix it. I had to put it on a credit card. I walk into this high-security facility every day to keep the public safe, but I don't know how I'm going to buy groceries next week. #EssentialButUnpaid, #WorkingWithoutPay, #FederalPrison, #BOP, #Debt, #ShutdownStress, #PublicSafety72Share
