[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He knew he had to get a better paying job to repay the loan, but he didn't want to give up his passion, which was music. Now that his almost $250K loan has been paid by us taxpayers, he says he wants to go meditate in India with a guru. Like what the actual f*. my nephew has a mild SN and had a hard time finding a job after college; he majored in IT. He found a lowish paying job (like $45K) at a nonprofit and is still paying it off while he lives with his single mom because he can't afford to live on his own and pay off the debt. But, the government didn't pay his debt off. I think it's like $50K. Here's someone who's trying and working a job that has potential for growth, even as he has a hard time of it, and then there's this guy with his music passion, and now he can go meditate because we taxpayers basically gave him $250K. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/gen-xer-got-250-000-181801554.html Yea, I feel bitter.[/quote] I mean, you have no idea whether this musician has special needs. He sounds off. He's 49 and says now he can "start" saving for retirement, but is also considering spending money on a trip. He's low income with no prospect of significant income growth and lives in NYC. Wouldn't you be panicked about not having any savings at 49 yo? I would be. He'll never retire and likely will end up in a bad spot. There's nothing to envy.[/quote] It is rankling that the man made a series of bad decisions throughout his entire life and keeps making more bad decisions, and it's being paid off by the US taxpayers. My taxes! So that he can travel to India every year! [/quote]
