For me - It arouses so much rage (not jealousy) because I fought my way through college and grad school. My spouse did the same. We didn't party - we worked multiple jobs. He opened a business. I worked my way up in a male dominated field. We paid off our loans early instead of drinking lattes and carrying a fancy purse.

We kept our employees fully paid through covid while pausing our own children's 529's to do so and other sacrifices, supported every random mandate that was put on small businesses over the past two years with almost no support from the govt, watched as money was handed out like water, and now have to see a bunch of entitled college grads get more free money. We didn't qualify for a single government program as a family because of our income. We never received the random checks that others got. The PPP loan for the business did not cover the costs incurred over the past 2.5 years.

And now we have inflation, crazy costs for food and no respite in sight because of ridiculous leaders and a generation that cannot take responsibility for their actions. I am tired of paying for others. Blame the rich all you want but we kept 30 families in their homes, with health insurance and fed during the height of covid and did everything right. We have gotten nothing. Nothing from the government. I am tired of it.

Grow up and pay your bills and start a savings account in case of a disaster or pandemic.

I’m sorry you are so angry.

This Brenda Bootstraps has a real bee in her bonnet. And her business has received nothing from the government? LOL.

DP you’re misreading public sentiment if you think debt forgiveness is a popular issue amongst voters……it’s not.

The responses this poster got shows such disdain for those that do hard work.

Not that many Americans went to college and a sizeable number who did do not have loans anymore. It's a wealth transfer to the few that will piss off the many.

We all pay for things we don’t benefit from. The middle class pays for plenty of things for those who aren’t college educated.

Like what? Please provide some examples.

The entire state of Kentucky for one.

Try again. A serious attempt at a sewer this time. Examples of something the middle class pays for that only benefit those without a college education.

Ending the pause right before midterms is a bold strategy

The "systemic problem" is capitalism. You want to address that?

No, the systemic problem is that these loans aren’t dischargeable through bankruptcy. The systemic problem is that colleges aren’t required to disclose outcomes by major so even indifferent students can have some visibility into their financial future. Use your brain.

That describes me. I wasn't "forced to refi" I chose to refi because it made financial sense at the time. The fact that later developments mean that I might have been better off doesn't change that (nor does it change all the interest I've saved since refinancing). I've always understood that student debt relief probably won't include me, which is fine; I'm not "shafted" because someone else gets a benefit that I don't get. I'll be happy for them and keep paying my loan.

Why would I pay off debt politicians are signaling they will pay off for me?

Pretty dumb approach. What if they dont? or only do a small portion of it? I don't think you're good at finances, the greatest gift they gave you dead beats was pausing the interest accumulation. That itself was the forgiveness.

My guess here is you’re the one who isn’t good at finances. You never pay off interest free debt. Only a fool would do so, especially in a period of high inflation.

WOW. Yes obviously but when there is a pause on the interest and everything is going to principle, you take advantage and pay that shit off. These people and maybe you're not in this camp but they spent their money on BS and are on a sugar high. The same exact people didnt pay the high interest debt. They simply dont pay, who else would be begging?
