Then I want a piece of this action too. My daughters both had TOPS, but my wife and I still paid several thousand per semester for fees, books, and other crap that TOPS did not cover. We cut back in some areas, and used credit cards for some things we would have otherwise paid, but in the end, our daughters both graduated (one with a Master's) with no student debt, and we paid off our credit cards.

So now, where is MY reward or stipend for acting responsibly and not making my girls take out loans? If I were speaking, my question would be delivered in a tone that conveys both sarcasm and anger. Sarcasm because I know I'm screwed and will get nothing, yet angry because I feel like I did it right, yet I'm still being punished.

I took loans. I paid them back. Where's my reimbursement?


ETA: I worked through college - I took out only 10K total.

So this is the new topic that we'll have 30 threads a day on? Vaccine threads may have been better than this

You're "punished" because people in their 20's and 30's are getting help? That's a crap mentality. lol
By that logic I guess other parents in other states are being "punished" because their states didn't have TOPS

Your perspective is shite. Sounds like life is good, go enjoy it.

Paid off the undergraduate education for two children, graduate education for one of them. No loans. No debt. And this is what I get for being responsible.

While I understand the sentiment, it’s this kind of mentality that bloats the ever living frick out of government. Everyone wants their cut.

ETA- to be clear, I’m 100% against the forgiveness in this blanket fashion.

yep, if you've got character, principle, ethics, maybe even morals, it shouldn't give you a second thought(about being screwed, wanting some of that action, etc.)

I can't even write off the interest for my loans for grad school. As usual the responsible people get fricked and pay more taxes.

Y'all need to fix y'alls crap mentality tho.

Illegals getting put up in hotel rooms and given free clothes, foods, and healthcare? No issues
Republicans and Democrats get Billions of dollars in fraudulent PPP loans? No issues
Politicians get caught inside trading before the pandemic? No issues
$2T dollar packages where Americans see $1200 ea and politicians line their pockets? No issues
$54B to Ukraine? No issues
$10k to tax paying Americans that are getting pounded by interest on Federal loans? Y'all wanna shoot a puppy
