I should have been paying my loans while in SAVE... I'm an idiot

I'm in no position to be complaining about my student balance but I surely wish I had been paying it down these last 4 years. I graduated in 2020 with my bachelor's after taking classes at a community college off and on since 2010. I paid out of pocket for my second degree , which I finished in 2024.

I put off paying loans hoping that it was going to be forgiven. Now I have to put on my big girl pants and actually start paying when it could have paid off during the forbearance.

$50 a week is what I've been paying for the last 4 months and now I'm scared that my monthly payments after everyone is kicked off of SAVE is going to more than I can afford. Nothing seems certain these days but death and taxes. We all are going to figure it out somehow.
