&#8216;Big Short&#8217; famed investor Steve Eisman who is a senior portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman says that he has dropped his forecast after President Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 presidential elections. Eisman has previously predicted that former President Donald Trump would win the race. 
What Happened: Eisman who successfully bet against subprime mortgages before the financial crisis of 2008 said, &#8220;I withdraw the prediction,&#8221; and asserted that he had &#8220;no idea,&#8221; who would win the presidential election after Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential candidate. Eisman <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-09-19/eisman-says-the-election-is-a-toss-up-video">said</a> this in an interview with Bloomberg Television. 
Eisman made a case that if Democrats win in The White House and Congress &#8220;the market is going straight down,&#8221; however if the Vice President wins and Democrats do not sweep, the market will be fine. 
In contrast, Eisman forecasted that if Trump wins the race, the stocks will surge in anticipation of tax cuts.

Solana-Based Memecoins Spike — Dogwifhat, Bonk Outshine Dogecoin, Shiba Inu In 24-Hour Gains

Staunch Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advocate Max Keiser slammed MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder Michael Saylor for casting aspersions on the Bitcoin strategy adopted by the Nayib Bukele-led El Salvador administration.
What Happened: Keiser took to X on Thursday to respond to Saylor&#8217;s broader argument questioning investments in Bitcoin without any expectation of a yield on it. 
During an interaction with Saifedean Ammous, the author of the famous book &#8220;The Bitcoin Standard,&#8221; Saylor asserted that El Salvador would eventually have to liquidate their Bitcoin stash to pay their expenses if they don&#8217;t get any yield on it.
&#8220;I put the question to you. What&#8217;s the point of El Salvador or your family accumulating all of your capital in Bitcoin if you expect zero yield forever and you&#8217;re never going to borrow against it,&#8221; the Bitcoin billionaire added.
Keiser, who serves as senior Bitcoin adviser to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, did not take these observations well.
&#8220;Michael Saylor is unequivocally wrong while slandering El Salvador. El Salvador is reducing debt &amp; growing GDP (and buying more Bitcoin every day) without exposing El Salvador to the counterparty risk that Saylor is exposing his shareholders to,&#8221; Keiser hit back. &#8220;You owe Nayib Bukele an apology, dude.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Keiser&#8217;s fiery response was noteworthy given his endorsement of Saylor&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy in the past.

Why It Matters: The typhoon, named Bebinca, made landfall near Shanghai on Monday, causing widespread damage and leading to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people. 
According to a BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62ggnlw2zpo">report</a> from earlier this week, the China Meteorological Administration confirmed that the storm hit the coastal area of Lingang New City in Shanghai's east around 07:30 local time.
Chinese state media have reported it as the strongest storm to hit Shanghai in 75 years.
On Thursday, Typhoon Pulasan, the 14th of the year according to China&#8217;s meteorological authorities, made its second landfall in the country.

Elon Musk Tells Tesla Shanghai Team To Help 'Anyone In Distress' After Chinese Mega City Gets Hit By Most Powerful Typhoon In 75 Years

In a move closely watched by global markets, the Bank of Japan decided on Friday to maintain its benchmark interest rate at around 0.25%.
What Happened: The decision aligns with predictions from a Reuters poll, where economists anticipated another rate hike by the end of the year.
Following the announcement, the yen remained nearly unchanged at 142.52 against the dollar. The Nikkei 225 index, which had risen by 2%, maintained its level, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

However, it raised the key rates to 0.25% in July, aiming to achieve a 2% inflation target.

Tesla, Nike, Alibaba, FedEx, Trump Media & Technology: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to criticize the Federal Aviation Administration for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40935722/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-anyone-can-go-to-mars-with-spacex-but-journey-would-be-like-a-long-sea-voy">penalizing SpaceX while neglecting safety issues</a> at Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
What Happened: According to Musk&#8217;s post, the FAA has been focusing on &#8220;petty matters&#8221; concerning SpaceX, instead of addressing significant safety concerns at Boeing. He stated that this misallocation of resources endangers human lives.
Musk referenced a letter from SpaceX to Congress, highlighting the FAA&#8217;s inability to keep pace with the commercial spaceflight industry. The letter was addressed to key members of the U.S. Congress, including Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Sen.&nbsp;Ted Cruz&nbsp;(R-Texas) and Senate Commerce Committee Chair&nbsp;Maria Cantwell&nbsp;(D-Wash.).
SpaceX&#8217;s letter detailed alleged violations cited by the FAA, including the use of an unapproved propellant farm and an updated communications plan. SpaceX denied these allegations, asserting that the FAA&#8217;s actions were untimely and unrelated to public safety.
&#8220;This is deeply wrong and puts human lives at risk,&#8221; Musk wrote. 
The letter also pointed out that the FAA had approved the same propellant farm for other launches, questioning the consistency of the agency&#8217;s safety determinations. SpaceX emphasized its commitment to safety and criticized the FAA for its inefficiencies.
Musk&#8217;s post concluded with a call for change, stating, &#8220;Enough is enough,&#8221; and urging Congress to address the FAA&#8217;s shortcomings.

Why It Matters: The recent criticism from Musk comes amid ongoing tensions between SpaceX and the FAA. On Thursday, Musk accused the FAA of imposing a $633,009 fine on SpaceX for regulatory violations, suggesting that the agency shows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912464/elon-musk-accuses-faa-of-fining-spacex-over-nonsense-that-doesnt-affect-safety-amazingly-no-star">favoritism towards Boeing</a>.
Musk&#8217;s comments were in response to a post by Mario Nawfal, who criticized the FAA&#8217;s actions against SpaceX. Musk questioned why Boeing was not fined despite NASA deeming their spacecraft unsafe for returning astronauts. 
Musk stated, "Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn&#8217;t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts."
Additionally, SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40932353/spacex-continues-to-prepare-for-future-starship-flights-despite-delays-in-faa-launch-clearance-elon">continues to prepare for future Starship flights</a> despite delays in FAA launch clearance. On Thursday, SpaceX tested the engines of its Starship launch vehicle for its sixth flight test, even while its fifth flight's timeline remains uncertain. 
In a broader context, SpaceX has been making significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40916098/elon-musks-spacex-launches-90th-mission-in-2024-with-over-a-third-of-launch-target-still-to-go">strides in its mission goals</a>. On Wednesday, the company launched its 90th mission for the year with a Falcon 9 rocket, which carried the European Commission&#8217;s Galileo L13 mission to medium Earth orbit from Florida. Despite these achievements, SpaceX still has over a third of its launch target for the year yet to go.

What Happened: Bitcoin surged above $63,800 in the afternoon, clocking its highest value in nearly four weeks. The leading cryptocurrency descended below $63,000 overnight as some investors locked in gains.
The Fed announced a 50 basis point cut in interest rates earlier this week, bringing the federal funds rate down to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40924506/savvy-trader-ensures-500-000-profit-if-the-federal-reserve-cuts-25-or-50-basis-points">range of 4.75% to 5%</a>. Since this move, Bitcoin has leaped nearly 6%.
The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum almost touched $2,500, before retreating to the mid- $2,400 region.
The total cryptocurrency liquidations soared past $124 million in the past 24 hours, with $77 million in downside bets getting wiped out.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's funding rate was positive on most major cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and Bybit, indicating the dominance of long-position traders.
The market sentiment was "neutral," according to the popular Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez observed Bitcoin's RSI breaking out of a key resistance trendline, prompting him to issue a bullish forecast.
"However, BTC still needs to reclaim the 200-day moving average as support to confirm the continuation of the bull run," the analyst added the caveat.

Prominent analyst Michaël van de Poppe raised Ethereum's upside potential after the rate cut, predicting higher inflows into ETFs and more interest in yield.
"The likelihood of more rate cuts will be substantial, through which $ETH and DeFi become way more attractive," he remarked.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Move Higher As Aggressive Rate Cut By Fed Fuels Crypto Demand: Top Trader's Bullish Forecast For King Crypto Hinges On This Condition

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has expressed her support for both the Second Amendment and assault weapon bans.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a conversation with Oprah Winfrey during a live-streamed &#8220;Unite for America&#8221; event in Michigan, Harris discussed various topics, including gun violence.
She criticized the false dichotomy often presented in the gun control debate. She stated that the issue of gun violence has been framed as a false choice, suggesting that individuals are either in favor of the Second Amendment or want to take everyone&#8217;s guns away.
&#8220;I am in favor of the Second Amendment, and I am in favor of assault weapons bans, universal background checks, Red Flag laws,&#8221; Harris said.

When Winfrey brought up the fact that Harris is a gun owner, she responded with a joke, &#8220;If somebody breaks in my house they getting shot.&#8221; 
She quickly followed up with an apology amid a laugh, stating she &#8220;probably shouldn&#8217;t have said that,&#8221; and her staff will have to deal with it later.

</div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Harris&#8217;s comments come at a time when gun violence is a pressing issue in the U.S. 
There have been at least 49 school shootings in the U.S. as of Sept. 13, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/us/school-shootings-fast-facts-dg/index.html#:~:text=As%20of%20September%206%20%E2%80%93%20the,250th%20day%20of%20each%20year.">according</a> to CNN. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 65 other victims injured.
The Washington Post reports that over the past 25 years, since 1999, there have been 417 school shootings in the U.S., affecting more than 383,000 students who have experienced gun violence on school grounds.
The AR-15, dubbed &#8220;America&#8217;s Rifle&#8221; by the National Rifle Association or NRA, is one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39780789/the-ar-15-rifle-used-to-shoot-trump-is-a-symbol-of-american-gun-rights-which-he-vowed-to-protect">most commonly owned firearms</a> for U.S. civilians. It has also become emblematic in the debate over gun laws.
The NRA did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments on Harris&#8217;s statement.
The weapon was used to shoot Donald Trump at a rally on July 13. It has also been used in 10 of the 17 most deadly mass shootings since 2012.
Earlier this year, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy declared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39484065/us-surgeon-general-calls-gun-violence-a-public-health-issue">gun violence a public health crisis</a> in a 39-page advisory. He highlighted the significant physical and mental toll of gun violence on communities nationwide.

Kamala Harris Underlines Her Support For Second Amendment, Dismisses False Dichotomy Of Gun Control Debate: Jokes To Oprah: 'If Somebody Breaks In My House They Getting Shot'

In the face of a $35 trillion federal debt crisis, global asset manager BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) strategically advocated for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a safeguard, potentially raising the upside potential of the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency.
What Happened: BlackRock noted concerns about the spiraling $35 trillion U.S. fiscal deficit, attributing it as a significant driver of growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, according to a paper authored by some of the top executives from the asset management giant, including BlackRock&#8217;s ETF Chief Investment Officer Samara Cohen and Head Of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick.
&#8220;The growing concerns in the U.S. and abroad over the state of U.S. federal deficits and debt have increased the appeal of potential alternative reserve assets as a potential hedge against possible future events affecting the U.S. dollar,&#8221; the paper outlined. &#8220;In our experience with clients to date, this explains a substantial portion of the recent broadening institutional interest in Bitcoin.&#8221;
BlackRock, which manages around $10 trillion in assets, also described Bitcoin as a &#8220;unique diversifier&#8221; to hedge against fiscal, monetary, and geopolitical risks.

Why It Matters: BlackRock&#8217;s bullish observations followed former U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s vision to use Bitcoin to offset the U.S.&#8217;s $35 trillion debt, a step that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40152445/trumps-bold-plan-to-use-bitcoin-to-wipe-out-35t-us-debt-questioned-by-economist-justin-wol">heavily criticized</a> by influential economists like Justin Wolfers and Paul Krugman.

Bitcoin's Reserve Asset Appeal Increased Due To State Of US Federal Deficit And Debt, Says BlackRock: A Hedge Against 'Possible Future Events' Affecting The Dollar

In an opinion piece in the New York Times titled &#8220;Inflation Is Ebbing. Now the Fed Must Protect Jobs,&#8221; the inventor of Sahm&#8217;s Rule Claudia Sahm said the 0.5 percentage point <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">cut in policy interest rate</a> by the Federal Reserve signifies a change in the central bank&#8217;s strategy towards managing inflation and employment.
What Happened: The rate cut brings the federal funds rate to a target range of 4.75 percent to 5 percent, inching closer to pre-pandemic levels. The Fed&#8217;s decision indicates a shift from its focus on inflation, which has been on a downward trend for the past two years, to strengthening employment, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/19/opinion/federal-reserve-rate-cut-unemployment.html">wrote</a> Sahm in the Times.
Despite the rate cut, the funds rate remains high enough to deter some borrowing and spending, suggesting the Fed&#8217;s continued caution against inflation. However, the larger cut also reflects the Fed&#8217;s concern over recent indications of a labor market slowdown.
&#8220;Unlike many other central banks, however, the Fed has a mandate for maximum employment along with price stability, and the decision for a larger cut also signals that it is taking seriously recent signs of slowing in the labor market,&#8221; said Sahm, a former economist at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Sahm noted that the decision was met with dissent, with Fed governor Michelle Bowman advocating for a smaller cut. Sahm said that the recent unemployment rate increase aligns with early recession trends, but the U.S. isn&#8217;t in or nearing a recession, with GDP growth on track. The Fed's half-point rate cut, termed a "recalibration" by Chair Jerome Powell, aims to reduce risks, though it has raised concerns about a potential economic crisis.
Additional rate cuts are anticipated as inflation continues to fall. Most Fed officials predict a further reduction of at least 1.5 percentage points in the funds rate by the end of 2025, assuming only a minor increase in unemployment, according to Sahm.

Why It Matters: This bold move by the Federal Reserve breaks a four-year streak of steady rates, surprising Wall Street analysts who had predicted a more modest 0.25 point cut. The larger reduction aligns with investor sentiment favoring a more aggressive easing approach at the start of the rate-cut cycle.

Claudia Sahm Underscores Fed's Mandate to Protect Jobs, Says Additional Cuts Expected: 'The Time To Support The Labor Market Is When It's Strong'

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is making strategic moves to win over voters through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40937579/kamala-harris-and-oprah-winfrey-to-host-virtual-event-to-sway-support-from-key-battleground-states-o">high-profile virtual event</a> with former talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
What Happened: The event, titled "Unite for America," is hosted by Winfrey from suburban Michigan, a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election. 
The livestream features celebrities like Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Lopez, and Meryl Streep, alongside stories from ordinary voters to amplify Harris&#8217;s message.
More than 295,000 viewers tuned in on YouTube alone, with the event also being streamed on other major social media platforms. 
Winfrey introduced Harris, who spoke about her sudden rise to the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden&#8216;s unexpected exit in July. 
"I felt a sense of responsibility, to be honest with you, and with that comes a sense of purpose," Harris said. 
During the event, Harris discussed her plans to reduce housing costs and cut middle-class taxes, answering questions from voters in Michigan and Virginia. Harris has been focusing on digital engagement and controlled interactions, aiming to connect with voters who primarily consume news online.

Why It Matters: The virtual event comes at a critical time for Harris, who has been gaining ground in recent polls. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40949853/harris-in-trouble-new-swing-state-poll-shows-trump-gains-ground-in-key-battleground-areas-for-20">recent poll</a> shows Harris trending up in the 2024 election polls of nationally registered voters, posting her largest lead in the weekly Morning Consult poll this week in the head-to-head matchup against former President Donald Trump.
However, the race remains tight, with high-profile endorsements playing a crucial role. Harris recently received her second endorsement in 179 years from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40907893/kamala-harris-wins-second-endorsement-in-179-years-from-magazine-that-featured-works-from-nikola">oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S.</a>, which has featured works from luminaries like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein.
Additionally, Harris has been actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933169/mark-cuban-teams-up-with-kamala-harris-to-protect-american-businesses-from-unfair-foreign-competitio">collaborating with influential figures</a> like billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Cuban recently teamed up with Harris to protect American businesses from unfair foreign competition, particularly from Chinese knockoffs.

Kamala Harris Tells Oprah Winfrey She Felt A 'Sense Of Responsibility' After Biden's Sudden Exit: It Came With A 'Sense of Purpose'

Noted data scientist, Thomas Miller of Northwestern University, recognized for his precise election forecasts, has made a prediction for the forthcoming Trump vs. Harris presidential election.
What Happened: Miller, who accurately foresaw the results of the 2020 presidential and Georgia senatorial races, has come forward with a new prediction for the 2024 presidential election, <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/09/18/trump-vs-harris-election-odds-who-will-win/">reported</a> Fortune.
Miller&#8217;s approach, which utilizes data from political betting sites rather than conventional polls, has shown high accuracy in the past. &#8220;Political betting sites are the best at predicting the wisdom of the crowd,&#8221; Miller stated to Fortune. He contends that while polls mirror past sentiments, betting odds can offer a more precise prediction of future outcomes.
For the 2024 presidential race, Miller is again employing PredictIt, a U.S. political betting site, for his forecasts. He observes that the site has a steady group of investors and provides current data, making it a dependable source for his analysis.
According to Miller&#8217;s model, Harris is presently leading Trump. He ascribes this shift to several factors, including the recent Trump-Harris debate and a crucial endorsement for Harris. If the current trend persists, Miller anticipates a substantial victory for Harris in the upcoming election.
&#8220;It's gone from a drastic landslide in Trump's direction to a drastic landslide for Harris,&#8221; said Miller. He said it would now take an equally dramatic shift in Trump&#8217;s favor for the ex-president to come back into contention. Miller said as things stood now it appeared as if Harris would win big on November 5.
Miller&#8217;s predictions have been remarkably precise in the past, making his forecast a significant point of interest as the election nears. His unique approach to election forecasting offers a new viewpoint on the potential outcome of the Trump vs. Harris race.
Miller&#8217;s analysis suggests that as of September 10, millions of Trump supporters likely shifted, triggering a ripple effect that could eventually benefit Harris, though few see it yet.

Why It Matters: A recent poll taken after the September 10 presidential debate from the Trafalgar Group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869086/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-reveals-post-debate-swing-towards-this-candidate-in-key-state">showed Trump overtaking Harris</a> in North Carolina, with 48.4% to her 46%. Despite an underwhelming debate performance, Trump gained a 2% shift from Harris&#8217; supporters, narrowing the previously slim lead she held in earlier polls.
The trends reported by Benzinga showed Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40949853/harris-in-trouble-new-swing-state-poll-shows-trump-gains-ground-in-key-battleground-areas-for-20">gaining ground</a> in key battleground areas. Furthermore, Harris posted a record 6-point lead in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat">national poll</a> after the debate, indicating a strong momentum in her favor after the event.

Millions of Americans face tougher times managing their bills as inflation bites. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 40% of consumers say it&#8217;s getting &#8220;somewhat&#8221; to &#8220;very difficult&#8221; to cover their monthly expenses.&nbsp;
This struggle is set to deepen with the return of student loan payments, which paused for years during the pandemic. Add to that the cost of summer child care and vacations and it's no wonder many are feeling the heat. But there's one payment you can't afford to put on the back burner: your student loans.

Financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40304035/suze-orman-says-ignoring-this-will-ruin-your-investment-future-heres-what-you-must-do-now-to-sec">Suze Orman</a>, host of the popular &#8220;Women &amp; Money&#8221; podcast, warns that skipping student loan payments is not an option. "It should be a priority," she said.
Pushing student loans aside with everything else on your plate might be tempting, but ignoring them could land you in hot water. The restart of these payments in fall 2023 has forced many people to figure out how to squeeze them back into already-tight budgets. However, Orman stresses that this is one bill you can't sweep under the rug.
Trending: Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/evergreen-money"> re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today.</a>
Orman offers practical advice for those overwhelmed: &#8220;Make a plan or a budget that works so you can pay [your student loans] each month.&#8221; Her suggestion? Start by trimming the fat from your spending.&nbsp;
&#8220;Give up eating out or other unnecessary expenses so you can start making your payments,&#8221; she advises. Cutting back on indulgences can free up the cash needed to keep up with loan payments and it's a simple step toward regaining control over your finances.
Trending: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are bullish on one city that could dethrone New York and become the new financial capital of the US.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/miami-take-new-yorks-place-financial-capital"> Investing in its booming real estate market has never been more accessible.</a>
The silver lining is that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40879305/the-22-6-trillion-crisis-neither-harris-nor-trump-mentioned-but-its-the-top-concern-for-millions">Biden </a>administration has rolled out a new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan called the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan. This plan could offer significant relief to borrowers, especially those on the lower end of the income scale.
According to the Department of Education, single borrowers earning $32,800 or less and families of four earning $67,500 or less won't need to make any payments at all. Even those earning more will see some savings – at least $1,000 annually compared to older IDR plans.

"With the new guidelines, many people's payments will be cut in half," Orman explained. This makes it much more manageable to stay on top of those monthly payments, reducing the risk of falling behind. For borrowers feeling stretched thin, this adjustment might just be their lifeline.
There's no sugarcoating it – budgeting for loan payments can feel like a juggling act. But as Orman points out, it's a necessity. &#8220;People need to remember not to put off paying your student loans. It's not going away; it should be the first monthly bill you pay. You can't bankrupt your student loan.&#8221;
