It's going to be interesting to see how the whole fiasco is going to affect an entire generation of consumers.

My 1st 15 year career was finance and lending. I'm looking at being very hesitant to lend to any of the current generation college aged, period. If they are so damned willing to FIGHT for a new right to walk away from debt they chose to sign up for, then they are not future credit worthy either. I'd need security, collateral, a more aged and disciplined co-signer to pursue.

They need to also consider those loan payments still count against debt/income ratio for determining affordability of additional credit. They may not be paying, but they still owe those payments on paper.(underwriting)

So no late fees but compounding interest for another year. Those with $100k of debt will be at $108k after a year (assuming 8% interest)

That's the question. I understand no late fees and no credit reporting, but will you need to pay the 12 months + interest to be caught up. And if you can't pay it all, will you start incurring late fees?

Most federal balances originating in the 2010’s are more like 3.5% subsidized balance which is like 60% of the balances to 6.5% on 40% of the unsubsidized balances. So not close to 8%.

Just read the plan and interest accumulation is a much lesser worry than I originally thought.

That’s always been the case with forbearance.

This is why government programs are horrible. That administration is terrified of actually telling people they need to be responsible. Covid has been over for a year or more for basically the entire country. Yet this still keeps getting delayed.

It’ll never ever be a good time for everyone. There’s been 3 years of “on ramp” at this point. I just can’t vote for this complete lack of responsibility Good lord.

My interest rate is in the 6’s, guess I’ll be paying again. I kept paying for half of Covid but then stopped.

They are kicking the can down the road until they can find a way to forgive the debt or make it someone else's problem

See, this is called nuance and context to a complex topic that the media and politicians never want to engage in.

Another thing that is completely never talked about in “loan forgiveness” is what happens with loans for graduates this year, and next year and 3 years from now, etc. Even in best case scenario for Dems, it’s “lol frick everyone who already paid off their loans and frick anyone graduating after 2023, I guess”

Yep. Any entitlement is impossible to take away because no politician wants to be the adult in the room. And if left up to a vote, the beneficiaries will never vote for removal of a program even if it’s better for the country as a whole.

There are no leaders anymore. Just narcissistic assholes
