She says, from the perch of her overpriced urban farmhouse in N. Arlington that her formerly poor, nerdy grad student husband who she had the brilliant foresight to see potential in paid for with his seven-figure “sales” job.

We paid back our loans. You can too.

Sure, back when college was nowhere near as expensive.

It's damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Employers want an undergraduate degree for admins these days, so you HAVE to get at least a BA/BS. Kids are graduating with $100K or more in debt thanks to predatory loans.

We're fortunate enough to be able to pay our daughter's tuition without having to get a loan. She's an Education major, so she won't make enough money in her chosen field (at least in the first decade or so) to be able to afford her own apartment or car - THAT's the problem.

You are free to go to community college for two years and then switch to an in state satellite campus program so that you can earn your degree while living home and saving money.

But nah, you feel like you're absolutely entitled to going to some ritzy private school and that you MUST have the 'college experience' where you're selling out $50k per year for room and board.

You’d think they’d cheer forgiveness of these predatory loans, steps to decrease costs, and other things to benefit regular people. Instead they’re gloating that Trump is rolling backs programs to help them. What a bunch of dumb fuxxs.

If by “we,” you mean your wealthy husband.

It’s hilarious you think you know people off the internet. No.

It took me 8-10 years of working after graduation to be in a good financial place to make payments on mine that were more than the minimum monthly payment. I borrowed $27k over 4 years, so relatively low compared to many I know, but when all was said and done, I paid back $46k.

My sister has paid back her original student loan amount of $40k but still owes like $39k because of Interest.

Most people I know aren't averse to paying back what they borrowed. It's the interest that is crippling to them.

One of the few rational responses in this thread of bilge.

I don’t find it rational at all. Why should we forgive her interest and not that for someone’s mortgage or loan for healthcare expenses or a parent’s elder care? It’s all the responsibility of the person who signed the loan. It’s not the taxpayer’s.

Exactly. My cousins had to take out a reverse mortgage on their elderly parent's home to pay for elder care not covered by any insursnce. Why should we forgive student loan interest when other people need to take out loans for healthcare services that are a matter of life and death?

They could go on Medicaid and live in a nursing home. They should have saved money. Also growing that old is optional.

Is this a joke? I didn’t graduate all that long ago and worked through school. Stop making excuses. Pay your loans.
