The ACA hurt us big time

As an individual? Business owner?

Ulysses14

Both. If your business is a tax pass through.

In this case it was individual

I make more money working for myself now, my wife switched to a high deductible

Me too. That terrible legislation resulted in a big cost increase for me.

Impossible option.

The size and ability to pay them off could be. For example, lots of my friends

Ulysses14

That seems like more of an un/underemployment problem

but they knew beforehand the $$$ involved and timeline for paying them off.

Student Loans are a known financial issue regardless of the job market.

Can Student Loans be unexpected?

Mr. Belding

Curious how student loans are an "unexpected" financial setback...

jbcoug

7/18/17 7:43am

Nothing, thus far (knocking on wood like crazy!).

TheLoneCougar

Is there an all of the above option?

Does a surprise baby 10 years later count as a setback?
