[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I paid off well north of $200k in student loans from college and law school. While I’m happy that people are getting debt relief, and I don’t want people to unnecessarily suffer, I am frustrated by the narrative that every person getting loans forgiven simply never had a shot to pay them off. Those people exist for sure - and I’m happy to give them help even if they maybe didn’t make the best decisions on school and major. I do think the system is predatory.

But let’s not pretend like there aren’t people getting loan forgiveness who simply deprioritized pay back because they didn’t care all that much. Because they would rather job hop, buy nice clothes, engage in super nice travel. They made a choice not to really work on loans and they just got a $10k windfall. On top of the freeze during COVID. Man, having 0 interest would have helped me out so much when I was paying back my loans.

That’s what frustrates me. I don’t want offers to suffer, but man, I would love some of that money back I sent to the government. [/quote]
