Dont worry about the student loan forgiveness

[belshawelk]

I just got informed I owe and additional $9,800 on top of the over $42,000 I already paid them

My door prize for having the best year in my career. Some of this is from capital gains on stocks I cashed in on, because god forbid to try and invest your money and make a little I will make the first payment on your all debt of $300,000,000,000 tomorrow.

Oh, and of course I got a penalty as an additional door prize.

I have been paying on my student loans for over 10 years—every month, through the pandemic deferments, at about the rate of the payment on a new pickup truck—and have already paid back a fair bit more than what I borrowed. Still owe a whole bunch. I couldn’t have my current career without my degrees, but man, I was so financially illiterate when I took out those loans. And boy did they make it easy to get that money.

So, I’ll take what I can get.

Taxes suck, but at least you have a job to pay. Would you rather have large debt ( student loans) and no certain job at graduation?
Just a thought.

Tell me why as a guy that has busted his ass his whole life without " student" debt that this is ok. Maybe I am missing something. mtmuley

You're welcome. I never owned a new vehicle, camper, boat, house or ATV in my life. I did pay off my loan instead and like a damn fool put 20K into a fund for my kid. He spent half of it already and today at dinner I informed him that he cannot use the rest and has to take out a loan for it. The vote buying will happen again in 2 years and I would be a DAMN FOOL to be responsible and actually pay off my kids loan, much less have him pay for it. I am sick of the welfare. No one made you take out your damn loan, you pay for it yourself. This is the message that captain senile just sent

 

[TN2shot07]

I’m one of the “idiots” that paid all my loans back. I’m curious what any forgiveness accomplishes while still writing new loans? If we as a country think bailing people out is a solution then at least stop putting people in that situation.

I'll give it a shot.

Maybe it's because we are ok with all the hard work at the start, abit costly resulting in debt, so we can have a job that isn't necessarily one that requires us to have to bust our ass off out entire lives but rather pay that debt off, then take that payment and invest it wisely so at age 50 we can retire and still be able to hunt before our bodies say no!

Be mad at the average Joe's getting student loan relief instead of the billionaire's pocketing millions. -someone with no student debt

 

[schmalts]

This is pure vote buying. If you think otherwise you need your head examined. A real politician would go after the "ROOT CAUSE" (yeah i like that term) and bitch slap these schools that are charging as much as they do and stop the predatory lending. And don't even get me going on people so stupid they can't make a decision on getting a degree that can't even support the loan they take out.

Your body, your choice... your loan, your choice. Pay it off slacker

I understand that college is expensive and a lot of jobs don't pay enough. But that should really have been considered prior to taking out said loan and pursuing said career that doesn't pay.

 

[Addicting]

Can I get refunded on the loans I paid off? This is BS

No, I am an Average Joe that paid off my loans instead of buying other shit.

 

[Nick87]

What about people who wanted to pursue a career that made them happy and didn't pay enough for them to take a loan out they knew they couldn't pay back. No reward for being responsible I guess.

Silly you, being responsible is not the liberal way

 

[schmalts]

Are some you really that thick that you don't understand your loan is not forgiven?? the debt is transferred to the rest of us and you can't understand why some of us are pissed?

White House dodges direct questions on who will pay for massive student loan handout

Well then. You are welcome. Hope you have a great career. Between one of my kids and myself, no student debt. One more to go. mtmuley

 

[Farmerj]

I’ll gladly see the debt forgiveness…

Makes up for getting ripped off on my enlistment contract for the loans “congress didn’t fund” all those years ago I paid back on my own.

 

[thomas89]

Can you believe people pay for this?

This is why college is so expensive. That no one shuts this sh*t down in its tracks.
