Welcome back to reality.

Returning from a long holiday weekend is always tough, but if you need some help digesting recent headlines (along with your barbeque) we've got you covered.

Here's all the money news you need to know.

THE UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES FOR SOME STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS

Graduation season is in full swing, and there's still a lot of uncertainly surrounding a government student loan program.

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which cancels the remaining student debt of government and nonprofit workers if they've been making on-time payments for 10 years, could be on the chopping block.

President Trump released his budget last week, and it called for ending the program for new borrowers. The White House said the cut, which requires an act of Congress, would save $27.5 billion over 10 years if enacted.

More than 400,000 people rely on the program, and ending it could hurt the flow of new doctors and lawyers.

The White House's budget also called for the number of Work Study jobs for college students to be cut in half.

If you walked across the graduation stage this year, congratulations and welcome to the real world! Now don't make this major financial mistake.

TALK ABOUT SHORT-TERM MEMORY

A record number of Americans currently have an auto loan, and there are growing concerns that many borrowers can't afford their loans.

A recent report from Moody's Investors Service found that one of the largest subprime auto lenders in the nation only checked the incomes of 8% of its applicants.

Sound familiar? In the years leading up to 2007, many banks issued home loans to less-than-qualified borrowers who later couldn't afford the payments. The massive wave of defaults led to the housing crash felt around the world.

It's important to keep in mind that the auto lending industry is much smaller than the mortgage market. So even if massive defaults start occurring, it's not likely to have the same economic impact.
