If I file separately but am married and live with my spouse, is my family size considered 1 or 2 when calculating monthly payments in IDR plans? I’m trying to plan for coming out of SAVE in July by calculating by hand myself because the simulators are so inaccurate. Any help is appreciated!
One of my reports is a college student working part time. One day, she came over to my desk to ask a question. I was in the middle of typing an email, so I told her to just wait a second to let me finish my thought. I type quickly (75-80 words a minute on every online typing test I’ve ever taken), so I finished my email and turned to answer her. She was surprised I type so fast and asked me if I ever took typing classes. I said no, but that I had spent my entire adolescence on AIM at least 2 hours every day, so I guess it taught me how to type quickly. I then got the Gen Z Stare that we all know so well, so I had to explain that AIM was a chat platform when I was growing up, and that all teenagers around that time were on AIM all the time. She told me that she can’t type well on a computer, but can really quickly on her iPhone. I thought the difference was interesting because I suck at phone typing. The whole interaction made me feel 👵🏻 but I found the generational difference in skillsets fascinating.
