If there's a correlation, you must have had a pile of student debt, eh?? I mean, look at the (van) technology and quality of living you've provided yourself!!

I thanked them for calling because I paid my way through school and was wondering where my rebate was for paying my own way without the government forgiveness program. If your paying their loan off they should replay me for paying mine off. They hung up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing millions to broke people with no guarantee or collateral would not be a good buisness decision. For sure, another bank bail out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human nature. See, I’m for it because my wife wasn’t lucky enough to have parents like mine that paid for my college up front, no loans for me. So now I’m stuck still trying to pay off the last, I think we’re down to 23,000 now, something like that. I could think of a lot more fun ways to spend it. They probably wouldn’t even cover it anyway though since we transferred to private loan through So-Fi. If it’s not covered then I say fuck everyone else.

I mean, look at the (van) technology and quality of living you've provided yourself!! I have no debt, no property tax, no sewer/water, no electrical, no home maintenance costs, no house insurance. Income is somewhere between $6k and $8k a month. Most of the money from the house sale is liquid. Vehicle costs are minimal. I never had a student loan. Paid for my education w/cash.

Know a couple that are raising their granddaughter. Not the most responsible granddaughter. So she's going away for school to learn some responsibility. Right. Take out a student loan and she's going to pay for it. Right. She missed more classes than she went to. Stayed for one complete semester and came back home during the 2nd semester. You guessed it she qualifies for student loan forgiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soeaster Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Went to college twice. Took student loans out twice. Paid the first one off in 2010 and the second one off 2 months ago. If student loan forgiveness is such a good thing, why are they still giving huge loans to students while talking about forgiveness? Because they don't want to fix the problem, they just want to pander for votes and get people riled up about how they're victims of the the student loan industry (government). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The student don't pay the loan off but the loan is not "forgiven" it is paid to the University by the government. Where does the government get the money.
