As a parent of a daughter graduating college in August with zero debt after 4 years scrimping and doing without, I will be highly perturbed if college loans are forgiven.
A little bragging from a proud dad: Biology degree. 3.7 GPA. In Costa Rica right now studying leaf cutter ant habits. I am SO proud of her. She is also my familys first college grad.
I can tell... you sound like a world class saver and planner (like me). There are very few of us... Congrats and good luck.
Kinda in agreement.
My brother went the route of two years in community college, and went on the cheap scale to arrive at an electrical engineering degree (taking six years from start to finish). He owed nothing at the end, and my dad might have been totally out on $20k (from 1980s cost levels).
There would be a lot of anger by people who went the hard route and paid off their degree along the way....if forgiveness were the government gimmick.
Hopefully she doesn’t encounter a bullet ant, which I believe are native to that area. Those things are just plain nasty.
