Having the debt doesn't make a person irresponsible, not paying the debt does. Take this story as an example. The white guy has student loan debt but he is also a news anchor. This means the education he got from that debt has paid off because he is now in his chosen career path. It also means he likely makes enough money he can pay the debt he chose to take. He chose to take the debt, he has benefited from that debt, and now he doesn't want to pay it. Not paying the debt makes him irresponsible.


Nonsense. There are a multitude of legit, savvy finance reasons why one would chose to not quickly pay back his student loans. Doesn’t make one irresponsible. Often times, prioritizing paying back your loans as quickly as possible isn’t the smart move.

Absent knowledge of this further liberal giveaway.. bullsheet.

Letting interest compound on debt you owe, when you can pay it off quicker, is fricken dumb. Each way, every way, any day.

You’re right in what you stated, but missing the point. Irresponsible is lacking responsibility, which is what Rob is doing by accepting others to unwillingly pay for his debt.

He is advocating for this, and has no empathy for the person who is speaking up about this injustice. He has assumed the victim mentality that the loans themselves have oppressed him, or are unfair, and he SHOULDNT have to pay them off, even though others remain responsible for their debts and pay them off.

Victim mentality HATES others that one-up their victim mentality.

If it was such a savvy move, then why would they need the loan forgiveness? Shouldn't they be in a even better position to pay it off?

What the frick? There may be some rare outlying instances when that might apply, but no financial advisor would sign off on that asinine statement you just made.

Every financial person I’ve ever followed, read, or listened to have all said paying down debt as quickly and sustainably as you can is the best way to go.

I’m really not sure what planet you live on to think or suggest otherwise.
