A tablet displays a debt payoff dashboard. Overlay text introduces 'Student Loans 101' and outlines three key comparisons: Public vs Private, Subsidized vs Unsubsidized, and PLUS vs Parent PLUS loans.

This image compares Public and Private student loans. Public loans are from the US Dept. of Education, require FAFSA, and may defer payments. Private loans are from lenders, require credit checks/cosigners, have higher rates, and may require in-school payments.

This image differentiates Public Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans. Subsidized loans have lower, fixed interest, with the government paying interest while in school. Unsubsidized loans are similar but the government does not cover accruing interest during school.

Is This Bare Minimum Love or Survival?

I’ve realized something about relationships: showing the bare minimum isn’t love it’s survival. It’s easy to convince ourselves that counting texts, tolerating forgetfulness, or accepting half-hearted effort is enough. But romance isn’t about checking boxes it’s about energy, attention, and care.

Ladies, we’re not off the hook either. Responding when spoken to or ‘not nagging’ isn’t a green flag—it’s the bare minimum. A true green flag is starting real conversations, respecting boundaries, and showing empathy even when it’s inconvenient. And then there’s prince treatment… the next level
