You’re creating a bunch of false scenarios using right wing talking points that can easily be dispelled. I would suggest you head to the student loan forgiveness thread in HL. This person you’re talking about barely exists. The average black person with student loan debt is one of the first people in their family to go to college and had to take out more debt because they had no support. College has not closed the wealth gap between black and white people specifically because blacks people have much more debt on average. Now we know a white person with a high school diploma is more employed than a black man with a college degree - so what do you suggest those people do? Even if you go the community college route you will have loan debt. The bigger issue that you seem to ignore is that American decided that public education mattered and that k-12 should be mandatory and publicly financed. It is just a random quirk that we decided that public universities should not be the same. And the idea that a 18 year old is doing that sort of cost benefit analysis is bull shyt.
You literally typed all of that only to repeat every point I made. Idk why reading is no longer fundamental
What does politics have do with peoples spending habits?
She’s literally talking about only paying 2k off the principal in 11 years - and probably still paying the minimum. Not willing to sacrifice lifestyle to get the loan paid. Now want us to help her out so she can rise through the ranks and not hire minorities.
yeah I have no remorse. If you went to college for your 'passion' that aint my problem. Those of us who assed what fields are in demand and choose accordingly aren't crying about this stuff. Not a surprise most of the weirdest degrees require the most money lol.
Bruh I didn’t exactly what you said. I lived in a basement with 4 other people and I paid $620 a month in rent. I absolutely hated it but I was determined to get out of debt the fastest way possible.
Exactly! people like the girl in the Twitter post won’t talk about that though. She most likely kept deferring her loan and only paying the minimum like everybody else does. She graduated in 2008. Let’s say it took her 2 years to find a job and didn’t pay on her loan until then. She had 11 years to pay off 70k plus interest. If she would have made an extra payment and put down just $500/month on the principle every month she would be out of debt right now.
you know damn well the surest way for upward mobility is through higher education. and you can’t work a part time job and pay for school like you could back in the day.
So then pay what you owe. Takes sacrifice. If you agreed to a loan, it’s your responsibility to pay it back. Not anyone else’s. You took out loans you can’t pay and everyone else is the stupid one?
I went to community college for nursing school and worked overnight. I graduated with no debt. I used my nursing income to save some money to go to physician assistant school. After I graduated I rented room in a basement to pay off my debt from PA school. Anybody could do what I did.
People make strings of bad choices and then don’t want to own it, instead want to be given a re-do without giving up anything. And have the nerve to call others stupid
