12/ More stress coming for borrowers? Federal student loan payments are currently scheduled to turn back on 60 days after June 30, unless the Supreme Court rules on Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan before then. "The average student loan combined payment is $393 p/m".

Running a company: 2020: can you survive a pandemic? 2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds. 2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now. 2023: nice job! okay, we’re going to take away your bank account.
