Most Americans carry a mortgage. The average mortgage is $309,000. Way more than the average student loan. Yet you never hear any big fuss about that. People with mortgages are just expected to shut up and pay them down.
Mortgages are a secured debt. Bi-sexual under water basket weaving degrees have no intrinsic value.
The thing I wonder is after 10 years of listening to people whine, why do people STILL sign on the line?
They must be stupid.
