Student Loans: The Never-Ending Interest Party
After a year’s interest holiday, the SAVE plan’s reprieve is over—interest charges restart August 1, crushing eight million borrowers desperate for relief. The Department of Education says Trump’s education secretary 'recommends borrowers quickly transition to a legally compliant repayment plan,' despite a backlog of nearly 2 million applications. Critics call it 'devastating for millions of American families,' and rightly so—because nothing says kindness like restarting your debt clock with the subtlety of a wrecking ball. So enjoy your new repayment options starting next year, just remember the Devil takes payment in accrued interest.

SAVE plan interest restarts like a bad sequel no one wanted, starring tax-payers as the unintended villains. Spoiler: the ending is you still owe more.
Student loans now come with an accelerated heart attack option—interest returns like an unwanted houseguest with terrible timing and zero chill.
