0:00.0 | Today's question comes from Jeremy in Arizona. I'm having a mini dilemma over my finances and could use a neutral third party. I have some student loans to pay off and I could have it all paid off by now, but I held off when I thought I could qualify for Biden's student debt relief plan. |
0:22.2 | I was prepared for that possibility and I'm still able to pay off my remaining balance. |
0:27.2 | I've heard that the Biden administration is supposedly working on another avenue for debt relief, |
0:32.7 | while I know logically that paying off my debt sooner rather than later is the smart call. |
0:38.5 | I know there's a part of me that will feel cheated if I pay these loans now and find out I would have been approved for relief later. |

1:17.4 | depending on who might be in administration at that time, depending on who might decide that they |
1:23.0 | want to make themselves look good politically. There might be a sliver of a lightning bolt's chance |
1:28.3 | that you might get a little bit of forgiveness. Who wants to live their life like that? |
1:33.7 | Not me? Dave, I like being in control in my life. I like knowing that if Jade says she's going to do |
