You Should NOT Feel Responsible For YOUR OWN ACTIONS - You Were 18 And YOUNG - Don't Be ASHAMED Of Your Student Loans

ou should not feel shame or guilt for not having the foresight at age 18 to anticipate that the government was going to actively try to hurt you and prevent you from paying down loans in an equitable fashion. You made a decision based on the facts and longstanding precedent.

I am in medical training currently. I have an exorbitant amount of student loans that dwarf my annual salary. I obviously would not have ever agreed to any plan that requires me to pay $3000+ per month while making $60-70K per year because anybody could plainly see that it would be insane. I agreed to a CONTRACT based on laws and plans that had been in place for a very long time without being significantly altered. I refuse to be shamed or condescended to for taking out "more loans than I can pay" like I don't understand basic math, and NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

In the meantime, despite all the anxiety, try and rejoice in the fact that despite all the bluster, these ghouls are literally preventing themselves from getting paid back with every passing day that they prevent us from certifying income. How's that for bad with money?

Sweaty you signed a contract that you didn't fully understand or read.

You don't understand basic math.

$3,000 a month would be $300,000 in student loans.

My rate was 3 percent when I took my loans in 2016. I consolidated in 2022, which annihilated my credit age by half and DOUBLED my interest rate to 6 percent. All to qualify for PSLF. Look at it now.

It's been 8 years with 2-3 years of no interest. Pay them off sweetie. :marseynails:
