PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — A Kansas City area family is celebrating a big win. They paid off more than 0,000 in student loan debt in a little over six years.Ashlyn Yarnell accumulated the debt in the process of becoming a family law attorney."That was my calling. That's what I knew I wanted to do, and that was the path to get there," Yarnell said.Because she attended college and law school on the heels of the recession, a lot of scholarship money dried up, leaving student loans as the only option."I did everything I could think of. I worked jobs, I lived with friends, lived with family when I could," she said.By the time Yarnell graduated, her debt total came to 0,500.Paying it all off seemed daunting at the time, but Yarnell and her husband, Drew, immediately got to work. They shared advice for others starting their debt journeys.Study your debt"It's like tackling an opponent. You've got to study that, you've got to learn about all the options you have to get rid of it," Ashlyn Yarnell said.She created a spreadsheet to track the balances of her loans and the total paid each month."We had a plan right out of school, how many years it was going to take, how we were going to handle this," Drew Yarnell added.Flexibility with that plan is important, as Drew said it took them slightly longer than they anticipated to pay off the debt.Consider refinancingWhen Ashlyn began paying off her loans, the interest rates were all over the map."Some were a low 2 percent interest rate," she said. "Some were as high as 10 percent."By refinancing, she was able to get the average rate down from 6.8 percent to 4 percent.Those considering refinancing student loans now should keep in mind payments on federal loans have been suspended interest-free through the end of the year."You really need to think twice about refinancing a federal student loan because you lose those benefits," said Brian Walsh, manager of financial planning for SoFi, the personal finance company Ashlyn used for refinancing.The Yarnells also refinanced their home in the spring to help with final loan payments.According to Walsh, there are some important factors to consider before taking that step. Look at the closing costs first."How many months is it going to take me to recoup those costs, and am I going to live in this house long enough? Otherwise refinancing your home might not be a good idea even if it is a lower interest rate right off the bat," he said.Celebrate small milestonesAt the start of the couple's repayment journey, the daily interest rate was ."Every day I imagined handing my lender a bill in addition to everything I already owed, and that was unacceptable to me," Ashlyn said.She and Drew celebrated as they were able to knock down that daily interest rate, eventually reducing it to just ."You don't have to wait until the very end to enjoy knocking off a certain number," Drew Yarnell said, "If you get to a milestone, I think it's important to celebrate it on the way."Be sure to set small goals within the long-term plan."You break it up into microgoals, and it helps you stick to it and kind of hit the reset button once you hit that goal a couple months down the road," Walsh said.The Yarnells reached their finish line in May, when Ashlyn submitted her last student loan payment."I was screenshotting everything. My husband was taking pictures," she said, "And there were not even tears, it was sobs of relief."With interest factored in, the total came to nearly 4,000.The couple wanted to take a trip to celebrate, but COVID-19 interrupted those plans. Instead, Ashlyn wants Drew to pick out something for himself since he came along on the debt repayment journey with no complaints."He is a total team player," she said.The Yarnells also started education funds for their two sons, Charlie and Jack.Here are some other tips from SoFi for paying down debt:Figure out your monthly spendingUse a budgeting app to stay on trackConsult an expert if developing a plan on your own is too difficultDon't be afraid to talk about your debtThis story originally reported by Cat Reid on kshb.com. 4126

POWAY, Calif. (KGTV) - A Poway family is stocking up on resources in case a quarantine is triggered by the coronavirus.As the father, Nate took his love of engineering home to support the family, "we have a big family, and food is expensive, so we’ve always tried to be self reliant."Self reliant means gardens, poultry and fish. They have five kids. Right next to the back deck is a garden at about hip level. “We have kale, we have thyme and parsley. My cilantro grows pretty well here, we have salad greens.” Nate listed off. That particular garden is watered by a fish tank full of a dozen or so Tilapia.Fruit trees dot the backyard. Everything from apricot, apples and nectarines, to cherries, guavas and mulberries grow here.In the opposite side of the yard is a chicken coop. "We have 11 chickens, we get eggs every day. About 7," his wife, Lacy said happily. She said they planned to only grow one more garden this summer but in the last week four more have been constructed and prepared for seeding.In a shed next to the new garden beds, is a stockpile. Under a wood workbench sit brown metal tubs with 'Department of Defense Drinking Water' labels. Nate looked down at his clipboard and read off more supplies, “we have wheat for sprouting. We have about 100lbs. of brown sugar and honey."In the last month they've ramped up gathering supplies."This week we basically went and bought a lot of stuff that we would normally buy in the next few months, but we bought it now in case we can’t go in the next few months." Nate said he is watching national news and concerned a quarantine could come to San Diego.“We just have to take care of each other. There might not be food on the shelves, there might be kids staying home all day from school. We don’t know.” He said.Now they're looking at their backyard in a different way. “We’ve got the pool for washing if we needed it... So this is the drinking water should we need it, we have two generators.”Even their kids are aware and prepared to help. “I got it in case the coronavirus comes here," Shelby, 7, said showing us her medical kit.The family hopes they don't ever have to use their stockpile but are prepared just in case. 2197

President Donald Trump is beginning to wonder aloud whether his embattled Veterans Affairs nominee should step aside "before things get worse" and White House aides are now preparing for that possibility, White House officials told CNN.New allegations of improper behavior?against Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician, came as a surprise in the West Wing when they were published by Senate Democrats Wednesday afternoon and have left the President and his aides more uncertain about whether Jackson's nomination can move forward, three White House officials said.While the White House was preparing for the possibility Jackson could withdraw, it was not clear Wednesday evening whether Jackson was leaning toward dropping out or pressing forward.After meeting with GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Jackson returned to the White House.Jackson emerged late Wednesday from White House spokesman Raj Shah's office with press secretary Sarah Sanders, Shah and deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley.Jackson told reporters, "Look forward to talking to you guys in the next few days."Sanders said they were having a "debrief" on the meetings on the Hill.The President and his aides were openly discussing the possibility that Jackson could pull his nomination, the officials said, and aides late Wednesday afternoon began preparing for a possible withdrawal -- though White House officials said the decision remains Jackson's.Trump's thinking on Jackson's nomination has been rapidly evolving. Earlier on Wednesday, he raised the prospect of going into the briefing room today to stick up for Jackson, simply to say he is a good guy and has his support.But several senior administration officials, including Sanders, advised him against doing so.The fresh allegations appeared to change even the President's thinking, who wondered aloud on Wednesday afternoon whether Jackson should step aside now "before things get worse," an official said. Trump was also astonished that few have publicly come to Jackson's defense leading the President to believe Jackson's fate is more perilous than it seemed.Asked earlier Wednesday evening about CNN's reporting, Shah said aides were "of course" preparing for the possibility that Jackson could withdraw his nomination."This is, as the President said, Dr. Jackson's decision," Shah said on "Erin Burnett Outfront." "We stand behind him 100% depending on what he decides to do. We think he'll make a great secretary of Veterans Affairs, but this is a nasty process right now."Emerging from the White House press secretary's office earlier on Wednesday, Jackson said he would continue to fight on."We're still moving ahead as planned," Jackson said, adding denials of several of the fresh allegations, including that he had wrecked a government car after drinking.But his comments belied the increased skepticism about the fate of his nomination inside the White House. One official conceded the raft of new allegations makes it harder for the White House to provide a defense.Senate Democrats on Wednesday afternoon released a two-page document summarizing allegations 23 current and former colleagues of Jackson have made against him behind closed doors. Lawmakers have not yet substantiated the claims and are investigating them further, but they included allegations that he was "abusive" to colleagues, loosely handled prescription pain killers and was periodically intoxicated.Speaking on Capitol Hill Wednesday evening, White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short acknowledged the claims of misconduct that surfaced hours earlier caught the administration off guard."It appears these allegations were brought to senators and so in some cases all of us are in the dark as to the allegations themselves," said Short, who added he planned to meet with Jackson at the White House on Wednesday evening.An aide for Montana Sen. Jon Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, pushed back against White House criticism Wednesday, telling CNN that each Jackson allegation in the two-page document came from multiple sources."Every allegation in that document has been brought to us by more than one source," the Tester aide said. 4207

President Donald Trump claimed that up to 15,000 US troops could be sent to the border to deal with the group of migrants heading toward the US through Mexico."As far as the caravan is concerned our military is out, we have about 5,000-8 (thousand), we'll go up to anywhere between 10 (thousand) and 15,000 military personnel on top of border patrol, ICE and everybody else on the border," Trump told reporters Wednesday.The Pentagon has already announced 5,200 active duty troops are being sent to the border and has identified an additional 2,000 that could go. There are currently 2,100 National Guardsmen on duty at the border and an additional 2,000 could be called upon to go if needed.Shortly after Trump spoke, the Pentagon released a statement saying "The number of troops deployed will change each day as military forces flow into the operating area, but the initial estimate is that the DOD will have more than 7,000 troops supporting DHS across California, Arizona and Texas."The migrants, who are over 800 miles away from the US, are weeks away from arriving at the border where many reportedly plan to seek asylum.Trump also added that he is thinking "very seriously" and "immediately" of stopping aid to countries where people in the group of migrants are coming from."Nobody's coming in. We're not allowing people to come in," Trump said. "If you look at what happened in Mexico two days ago with the roughness of these people in the second caravan that's been forming, and also frankly in the first caravan, and now they have one forming in El Salvador. ... We are thinking very seriously, immediately stopping aid to those countries because frankly, they're doing nothing for the American people.""Immigration is a very, very big and very dangerous -- a really dangerous topic and we're not gonna allow people to come into our country that don't have the well being of our country in mind," Trump added.Trump also responded to a question on immigration saying, "I'm not fear mongering at all." 2019

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his pick to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. Ronny Jackson, "is one of the finest people I have ever met" but acknowledged he lacks experience in running a government agency."There's a lack of experience," he said.Trump said he hadn't heard particular allegations against Jackson but defended him and said he was being unfairly treated by the press and Democrats."I told Admiral Jackson just a little while ago, what do you need this for? This is a vicious group of people, they malign ... what do you need it for?" the President said he asked."He's an admiral, he's a great leader, and they question him for every little thing," Trump said.But he said he would leave it up to Jackson whether to continue pursuing confirmation."He is a high-quality person. It's totally his decision. So he'll be making a decision," he said. "I don't want to put a man through a process like this. It's too ugly and too disgusting."Trump said if he was Jackson making the decision, he would step aside."If I were him, I wouldn't do it," Trump said.  1098
