I think right or wrong doesn’t enter into this as much as some might think. (For the record: I think skipping out on debt is wrong.) But I think nations will default of their debt soon. I think the US will default eventually. The house of cards that has been built up, at levels both high and low, just cannot stand.

Only a person of low moral character seeks to avoid paying his debts.So yes,he’s a deadbeat and a bum.

In answer to the writers question “Am I a deadbeat”, Yes you are. Next question.

Lock him up, like the rest of us would be treated by the IRS if we owed them money and refused to pay. The same rules and consequences should pertain to both Left and Right.

I just got a headache reading all the like minded Times readers who think this is a good thing or have done the same thing.

Instead of forcing advance math classes on High School students who cannot grapple with the subject, why not give a mandatory class in personal finance. Let the students see how early debt can ruin your life. Let them see the alternatives of public colleges or junior colleges. Teach them the benefits of saving when you are young and what it takes to obtain a mortgage.

The country would be better off.

Yes, he’s a deadbeat. And like a growing number of Americans, he’s proud of it. Lock him up. I’d bet he could suddenly come up with the money.

“The government would get out of the loan-making and the loan-enforcement business”

The gov’t should never have been involved. Student “loans” are a new form of welfare

Being a deadbeat is the hallmark of a liberal, although some FR “conservatives” are ok with defaulting on their mortgages and skipping out on their deficiency judgements. They’ve brragged about it right here. Or maybe they were trolls.....

The author is lower than scum. He ran up his debt spending a decade to get his degrees so he could have a career that he knew wouldn’t support the debt he was racking up. Now he has the wisdom to suggest other people acquire a ton of credit cards and marry someone with good credit. What a total piece of sh$t. Disgusting liberal that only cares about himself, and screw everybody else that gets it in the shorts along the way. Loser.

Yes. You are a deadbeat.

You chose to spend ten (ten?) years in school getting a degree.

You swindled the banks which means you swindled the people who kept their money in the banks, your word is trash and your name is mud.

We could make him pay for an “underprivileged minority of the moment” go to college for 10 years?

"I found myself confronted with a choice that too many people have had to and will have to face. I could give up what had become my vocation (in my case, being a writer) and knowingly take a job that I didn’t want in order to repay the huge debt

Oh the humanity!!! Taking a job you don't like to fulfill a legal and moral responsibility. Maybe some of the income inequality activists at the NY Times can give you a better paying job.

I thought student loans followed you forever even if you declare bankruptcy. Am I wrong?

you were over 18 years old and entered into a legally binding loan agreement.

it does not matter what you did with the money. whether or not you spent it wisely is irrelevant. you still owe the money as you signed the contract.

meanwhile... did anyone sign a contract saying they would willingly hand over 40-75% of their yearly income to the federal govt? if there is no contract, how can we be legally bound by it??

What a ridiculous waste of money. Might as well burn a barrel-full of Benjamins in a bonfire.

A FReeper pointed out this talented guy, who wrote a song about not paying your student loans:

It’s pretty good, but you can’t agree with his stance.

After reading this stuff, I wish he had taken out his loans with a loan shark. I’m sure he would have been persuaded to make repayment a little higher priority.

Isn’t astonishing how this idiot, Durden, acknowledges that the government caused the problem, but he thinks the government can fix it. With government “help’, it will only get worse.
