The one and only thing I’ll agree with these type of people are “If we can bail corporations out of bad decisions and send billions in aid to Ukraine, why can’t they forgive our student loans?”

We have options for individuals who want help with education. It is called the GI Bill. Sign on the dotted line for Uncle Sam in the branch of your choice. Learn a trade in the military get credit for those courses, see the world in Uncle Sam’s dime, graduate college late in life or try taking online courses while serving. Stay longer than a few years, get mailbox money when you retire and work in the private sector. Best of all you can get free healthcare for life through Tricare and the VA.

How big a loan did she take out? I borrowed 25k for 3 years at MSU in 2010 after a year and a half in Juco on a football scholly. My monthly payments were like 200 a month

Students need to stop borrowing 6 figures unless they’re pursuing law or STEM degrees that will lead to jobs that can pay for it

What the problem is, is that kids are lied to by parents and universities that they have to go to college to succeed. Many of these kids aren’t smart enough to get a real degree. So they get an easy one but it costs just the same. It is somewhat unfair but not the lenders fault.

We need reform where there are limits to how much you can borrow based on your high school transcript and degree you’re pursuing. Unless you have a co-signer who shows they can afford it if you cannot.

Guess she needs to turn off the cell phone or either get a cheaper plan. Turn off the cable and internet or get a cheaper plan. Move out of the apartment she is in and get a cheaper one. Maybe trade down on a car that costs less. Maybe quit eating out. Start buying what you need and not actually want.

The problem with the young generation is they think these are necessities and not luxuries and don’t understand sacrifice in order to take care of your responsibilities. Imo if you default on a student loan you should have your degree revoked just like the bank takes your house and car. It gets reinstated when you get caught up on payments

Molly jump started a semi-viral post by a guy who called her “I hate where I’m from” girl. She grew up in Tennessee and she hates white people.

This blows my mind. Read up on the lives of the most famous writers in history and about how broke they were (without student loans) and tell me how this makes sense. Something like the top 2% of authors are well off. A much higher percentage don’t make a living off writing, it’s just a side hobby

One of her jobs out of college was copy editor. So you go to six years of school for close to $300k and you're proofreading someone else's material? How is that sane? That would be like going to engineering school so you could tighten screws on an assembly line.

A lot of those people are going to just not pay the loans thinking they will help “bankrupt” the companies that loaned the money. Those dumbasses don’t realize though that the government will start garnishing their wages

Or their social security. I remember seeing an article about the first group of retirees having their checks withheld. They had worked an entire career without repaying their loans and seemed shocked the debt was being collected.

Ideologically stupefied people shouldn't have majored in Marxist Interpretative Dance and related "fields of study."

That’s the start of another election year, so we’ll have another pandemic by then, for mail in voting
