So I got a major financial kick-in-the-ass today..... [View all]

Seems that I owe $63K for loans that I thought were forgiven, probably 50% interest at this point from 2011. Maine hasn't garnished past rebates till now. $3150 this cycle.

I'm thinking of settling, total principle now. 2nd option is using SS to pay this down over 2-1/2 years. Oh well. I like working....
