Does anyone know how the student loan payment (income-driven or pay as you earn) plans are affected when you have kids? Does the payment go down?

$350?! wow impressive. Is your spouse income not considered? I've been paying $700ish on $125k. I'm thinking since I got married and filing taxes jointly, I would have to pay more due to my wife's income being included.Well - I have 5 children and I have been paying income driven student loans for a while. Essentially they are deductions and I’m nit exactly sure how it’s calculated. All I can say is that I have absolutely zero incentive to pay them off altogether regardless of what Dave Ramsey says.
I pay 350/month on an income of about 125k or so. Easy peasy as far as I’m concerned. And it’s going to be forgiven in about 12 years in my case (I have not made a single payment in 13 months). I certainly don’t consider it “financial cancer” according to Ramsey.
I just consider it a Bill I have to pay for the time being and I plan accordingly. I throughly encourage anyone to have lots of kids for the financial benefits. Student loans is just the start. The tax benefits are very bullish...
Then you can go to the next level and teach your kids to bake cookies and sell them door to door while looking depressed. That’s just one idea - I have others as well.
Yeah I noticed he'd gotten the axe also? Did he piss on one of the snowflakes? All the posts of his I've seen seemed pretty harmless....
You are hilarious 😆 although great idea I plan to have 4 kids so hope that works out. Maybe one of them will become the next Jeff Bezoa xDWell - I have 5 children and I have been paying income driven student loans for a while.
