[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You, OP and PPs, made the decision to take these loans and start out your professional life with outrageous debt.  Once upon a time, people worked their way through college, you should have given this some thought.  Student loans should not be forgiven unless the person who took out the loan is terminally ill.[/quote]

I'm the OP.  I never said anything about our loans being forgiven.  WE ARE PAYING THEM BACK.[/quote]

I'm the other PP who is being trashed, and we are not having our loans forgiven either.

Look, I'm the first to admit that my law degree and my DH's masters degree were mistakes. I give our youth some weight in that, because [b]it is hard to know at 22 how expensive it is to be an adult [/b]if you've always been sheltered from that, and to know what you want to do with your life at 22. But it really doesn't matter -- I'm not asking anyone to cry big tears for us or to take away our debt. They are our mistakes, and we own them, and we are the only ones who will be paying for them. My DH actually has a great job and supports his family, so for him, the debt from the law degree was worth it. So cut the snark, ok? [/quote]

Hey, if your DH makes enough $ for you to pay your loans, max our retirement savings, pay all your expenses, save a good cushion and maintain your lifestyle--good for you.  If you're not doing those things, you'll get snark from me.

Most of the snark is aimed, though, at the bolded part of your post.  22 is an adult.  You were college educated but couldn't do the math or reserach?  That is a crying shame and it's not normal.[/quote]
