Good rule of thumb if you don’t make more your first year and whatever job you get from your degree then your total in student loans it’s not worth it

Student loans should have always been very low or No interest. This will destroy many many many families

I paid back my student loans. It took me 15 years, three forbearances in order to do it, but I did it.

I agree federal student loans should have little to no interest but at the end of the day you CHOSE to take that loan knowing the terms and then got a degree not valuable enough to pay it back 🤷♂️

Here’s something wild: gambling debts can usually be discharged in bankruptcy, most student loans cannot.

This is so unfair, people are struggling and now they're going to take even more away. We need better solutions, not more punishment.

0% for FIVE years! It doesn’t get any better than that. If you squandered those five years, then I don’t feel sorry for you. I paid back $68,000 over 20 years. It takes sacrifice. Your turn.

This is so only the ultra rich can be educated and thriving. They want to distroy the rest of us.

Why would you take out a loan for $185,000 to then take a job that pays maybe 50,000. And you took out the loan so you should have to pay it back and you’ve had years to do it.

5 years without payments or interest charged and they couldn’t pay it down?

Blame the real culprits: the loan lenders who give out $100k for a social services degree and the universities who continue to raise their tuition.

Default means you haven’t even been trying to pay them.

Has Donald Trump ever paid back a debt? Or does he just file bankruptcy every time he can’t pay? The rich are constantly holding the poor to a standard they’ve never been held to.

The people don’t understand about student loans is that it’s not the loans that students are concerned about. It’s the 6-8% interest that kills us. You can pay 2,3,4x what you ended up taking out.
