Do you include your debts that can be placed in forbearance when building an emergency fund?

( www.reddit.com )

Do you include your debts that can be placed in forbearance when building an emergency fund? Basically I’m working towards building up a savings account with 6 months of living expenses in case of an emergency. I do have student loans though that I could always place in forbearance temporarily and wouldn’t need to make payments on if I were to lose my job or something. Those that have an emergency fund, do you consider debts like stude…

I paid off all my debts instead of saving. How should that factor into a roadmap?

( www.reddit.com )

I paid off all my debts instead of saving. How should that factor into a roadmap? The roadmaps I read say you should have ~1 year’s salary saved by 30, which I’ve put a decent amount towards, but am still probably 1-2 years from reaching. But that’s because I have 0 debt, when most people my age have around 50k in debt. More if they own a house. Should I add that missing debt as effective savings to my roadmap? Since my net w…

Should I switch my student loans to an Income Driven plan or Forbearance for 1 yr so I can continue to snowball into my other debts?

( www.reddit.com )

Should I switch my student loans to an Income Driven plan or Forbearance for 1 yr so I can continue to snowball into my other debts? During the pandemic we made a lot of progress. The student loan pause helped a lot with that. We were able to buy a modest home at a low interest rate and we we also paid off about $8,000 of other debt (Mostly Credit Cards). We decided earlier this year that we wanted to prioritize becoming debt free by the end of 2025 (Besides our home loan). A…

Will debts pass on to us?

Will debts pass on to us? My MIL is going through a rough patch where all she’s talking about is her untimely death. She suffers from depression. She has very little to no assets, doesn’t own a property or have investments or own a car. Her only “asset” would be her 401k. She keeps telling us we’ll need to settle her debts when she passes. To our knowledge it’s just cons…
