I quit college just shy of a degree (burned out, too much partying).

Racked up $10,000 in student loans (plus another $5,000 in interest and penalties because I wasn't paying them back).

Fast forward a decade to 2006 and I get a phone call from a collection agency that they're going to garnish my wages if I didn't start giving them some money. Knowing that a wage garnishment could damage the security clearance I had at work, I came up with a payment plan.

For the next ten years I paid $125 a month, fully paying off this debt in 2016.

What a chump I was.

Golly, Biden’s a real uniter.......uniting chumps, freeloaders and loan defaulters......all at once.
