<prompt> Human: Basically what the title says. I am paid ahead until January of next year. Due to some unforseen expenses, I had to use a credit card my emergency fund to cover home damage.I can cover the cost to pay off the credit card if I skip this months payment into my student loans.Is there any negative impact for doing this? Even though Im paid ahead is the expectation still that I need to make a payment every month, even though my required payment is listed as zero?Edit: Thank you for the feedback folks, I really appreciate it. I can eat the interest for one month. It sucks, but thankfully our emergency fund took the brunt of the damage. Now to rebuild!  <response>: It just means that a little bit more interest will be added to your account depending upon the size of your loaninterest rate it could be a little, could be a lot. Realistically though, unless your interest is crazy, youre probably ok.
