Yeah. I’d rather fricking not go from being able to pay my bills and MAYBE save 200 bucks a month to living paycheck to paycheck JUST TO PAY THE INTEREST on my loans thank you very much. I left college for mental health/financial/family reasons and I have 20k in loans that I’ll likely never be able to pay off. I work BERY hard to survive and I’d rather not drown right now.
So we all in agreement to band together and boycott voting in the midterms if they dont either A) Permamently set the interest rate to 0% or B) Forgive 50,000 or more? Cause that'll for sure get the Dems to do something as the demographic that mostly votes for them will just not show up for them.
Biden could wipe it all away with a stroke of a pen but will not. Good luck in 2022.
> Most of the people whining about this predicament seem to think blaming their choices on other people misleading them is a valid argument. Sorry, if you’re smart enough to get into college you should have been smart enough to understand you couldn’t afford it.
This isn't exactly a fair statement. These are often 18 year old kids that lived a life being told "Go to college, get an education, you'll be better off!" without any actual qualifiers applied to it. It's easy to look in hindsight and go "Should have known"... but when you're brought up being lied to, it's not that easy. People don't just "learn" this stuff without going through the hard lessons. Sustained conditioning throughout your life is hard to overcome.
> Not sure what to tell you. It sounds like your parents lied to you and you’ve still got remnants of those unrealistic expectations with regards to the challenges life hands all of us. Have you brought this up with them? Maybe they’ll bail you out? Mine pushed me out of the house and into the military at 17, because my grades weren’t good enough when I left HS to get into college on a scholarship. Life ain’t fair, and we’re all dealing with our issues. Start being a bit more realistic and stop blaming others for your own self-inflicted wounds would be my next piece of free advice.
I literally told you that I don't have student loans, so you can stop going full old man yelling at the clouds with me :)
It's called empathizing with others and the issues they face, as well as taking a nuanced look at why certain conditions exist. That's not the same as assessing "blame". Why so many people are obsessed with that word is beyond me, but simple thinking brings simple answers, I guess.
Some free advice for you - read the conversation you're having instead of grandstanding and thumping your chest at people.
Have a good evening.
The amount of people I've gotten into arguments with over student loans on here is insane. I love how everyone is like "you picked the wrong major/school" or "You knew what you were signing up for deal with it!" My parents paid for my college, I have no dog in this fight. I just don't understand how people are such buttholes about this. People are getting hurt by this and it seems like some people are happy to watch them drown.

Now, I am a massive strag, but I wouldn't think much of a straight man who just prefers peepees (like carp for example). I just recoil in horror every time I see a vgina. Not even getting into uncut vs cut or size debates, the vast majority of peepees are more pleasing to the eye. And don't even get me started on female vs male genital hygiene. You know vginas bleed once a month, right? Have you ever seen pictures of a yeast infection? I guarantee it would be eye-opening. Peepeees on the other hand self-clean several times per day if you're hydrated. My uncut brethren may need to pay a little more attention to hygiene, but this is still vastly easier to do than v*ginal hygiene.
Yes yes I know "muh reproduction" now maybe I would understand this argument if you could choose the gender of your child. But the chance of spawning another icky f*male is just too high. I will stick with men going their own way with other men thank you very much.

89% of of borrowers got a useless degree they can’t even pay off state school tuition with.
Maybe the recipe for financial disaster was taking loans for a liberal arts degree.
This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.

I like that none of these r-slurs suggest that the universities should just not charge that much in the first place.

The federal student loan program caused the tuition spike, so it's even worse. Schools can charge literally whatever they want because kids have unlimited "free" fedbux to pay.

Despite making a whole song and dance about how greedy boomers ruined everything for later generations through their selfishness, Redditors are totally willing to advocate for free money for themselves while letting college costs inflate even more in the future. Well, the later generations should just ask for another round of college debt forgiveness, right?
