<prompt> Human: Let me start off by saying that I am pretty financially responsible. I make about 50K a year, set aside 5 for my 401k maximum for company match, and generally live beneath my means around 100mo extra set aside into savings prior to this morning. When I know I have a large expenditure approaching, I make sure that I save up in advance and try my best to get in front of things. This morning, however, took me by complete surprise.I woke up to a lovely phone call from my mother telling me that she will no longer be paying my student loans. While I do understand that she is under no obligation to pay for college, my siblings and I were all told that if we went to college it would be paid for. Long story short, I am now 17K in debt with hundreds of dollars in monthly payments that I did not budget for since I had no idea this would be dropped on me. She is still paying for both of my siblings and Im just kind of overwhelmed right now trying to figure out what to dohow to get on top of this. I can free up a bit of money by completely stopping my 401k payments and losing out on all the free money I would be getting from company match but the vast majority of my income is pretty fixed car payments, insurance, apartment, food, etc.Im more than a bit overwhelmed and could really use some advice on how to get on top of this. I have enough in savings to pay off a couple of months, and if I cash out my 401k I could take a small chunk out of the principal amount, but Id still be paying 300 a month more than I take in every month. Any advice would be really, really appreciated.  <response>: Wtf are you doing spending 500 a month on a car and 1350 on rent when you only bring home 2700? I hope living the thousandaire lifestyle was nice while it lasted.
