Robyn Anderson+FollowStudent Loans Tanked My Credit—Now What?Heads up if you’ve got student loans: since payments restarted, a lot of folks have seen their credit scores nosedive—sometimes by over 100 points! The big shift? Loan servicers are back to reporting missed payments, so if you missed the memo (or just couldn’t pay), your credit might’ve taken a hit. Pro tip: If you missed a payment, try a "goodwill request" with your servicer or dispute it with the credit bureaus. It’s not a guarantee, but it worked for some! Stay on top of those emails and check your credit regularly! #StudentLoans #CreditScore #MoneyHacks #Adulting #PersonalFinance #Finance37Share

Jonathan Clarke+FollowMonster Carp Breaks Record—Again!Bryan Baker just reeled in a jaw-dropping 118-pound bighead carp in Oklahoma—smashing his own state record! This beast is so massive it might even be a world record, but there’s a twist: since he snagged it (not hooked), it can’t be official. Wild, right? These carp are invasive and gobble up all the plankton, so catching them is actually helping the ecosystem. But using sonar to find them has its own drama. Would you go after these monster fish? #FishingLife #RecordCatch #InvasiveSpecies #WildlifeNews #EcoTalk #Finance30Share
James Cook+FollowDid You Miss Out on Bank Interest?Heads up: If you had a Capital One 360 Savings account since late 2019, you might be in for a payout. The bank is shelling out $425 million after customers said they missed out on higher interest rates that new accounts were getting. Basically, if you stuck with your old savings account, you probably earned less than you could have. Always check if your bank has a new, better deal—loyalty doesn’t always pay! #MoneyHacks #BankingTips #CapitalOne #Savings #PersonalFinance #Finance10Share
