>>The banking-higher-ed system is saddling these kids with debts they will not be able to pay back in twenty years. Easy money empowers the creeps, snakes and most vulgar to wipe out the herd. Where are the adults? These kids, most of them, come out of coddled lives in public schools where they no real math skills. Most can’t balance a checkbook, much less have any real idea of what even simple interest on a loan is. <<
Dang, you really don’t believe in personal responsibility, do you?
>>Can you pay back a $100,000 plus loan making less than #35K a year?<<
Lots of people do — it called a “mortgage.”
>>You paid your debt because you were damn lucky, in timing and in many things. <<
So, who uses the term “winners in life’s lottery” a lot, huh?
I guess working my @ss off, starting by getting a full time job working 50-60 hours a week AND my college load had nothing to do with it. Then Istarted working and have done so damn near every day of my life, to this day. I was just “lucky.”
And choosing “religion and womyn’s studies” as a degree program is all the fault of the Baby Boomer generation not the girl. Poor dear never had a chance.
Could you possibly be any more condescending?
It’s really really hard not to come off as condescending with some people.
Look, my rule with Freepers is that every last one of us is a person far more intelligent and savvy than just about anyone else in this crazy world and that includes you, of course.
Still, as you can tell, I object strongly to your stated views in this matter. The reasons are given in the posts I have made on this thread.
