Never said I was ungrateful, but if you're paying off 1/4th of my student loans, the monthly payment is gonna be near the same.
Well, those fancy remodels don't pay for themselves you know! I think I left PSU in 11, and there hasn't been a time driving through campus that the damn place hasn't been in some form of remodeling ever since.
In my class i had many who racked up debt cause they were in college and could. They bought high end clothes, tvs, everything they wanted. I tried to stay frugal and out of college had 20k in loans that i quickly paid. Ain't fair, thats for damn sure I made a decision to go to a state school in state to lower my debt. I could have went to USC, UCLA, georgia tech etc but I would have racked up way more debt.
One of my favorite teachers had us get our books from the copy place that didn't give two shits about copyrights. So we would get the same text from them for pennies on the dollar, despite it being 100% illegal. Sometimes it was beneficial to have an anarchist professor.
I wish I had been that smart. My debt paid for my college tuition and books, and the occasional subway sammich.
And thats the fucking bullshit I hate... i get it, life aint fair....but the same people clamoring for this shit are the same that want equity across the board HAHAHAH
I do not know your situation...but i know a shit ton of people that went to fucking business school or got social science degrees while racking up 100k in debt, and then didnt have jobs waiting for them. Maybe they should have made better decisions? (not saying you in this case) and since they didnt, they should fucking live with them.
See, if they paid off your debt, you could have had Big Town Hero instead of Subway and you wouldn't have to worry about it!
shit! Last few times I've eaten a subway I got food poisoning, maybe I should give this big town hero stuff a try.
THIS ... just handing people $50k is slapping a band aid over a gaping wound and thinking it will help. Get to the root of the cause and that is the gross overspending by colleges/universities.
I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I get it, and it’ll help lots of people. It’ll help a lot of people who don’t deserve it, and won’t help many who do. It just feels a little weird.
Or how about this. Everyone gets $25k. However, if you use it to pay off student loan debt, its worth$50k, like a Savings Bond type thing. Win/Win.
