“IBR and PAYE are for new borrowers - IBR is for the 2008-2012 cohort,” said Clare Law, a Charleston, South Carolina-based Certified Educational Planner. “I recently spoke with a law school graduate.

Back on 9/10/11, Donald Rumsfeld wondered WTH happened to a disappeared $2.3 TRILLION smackaroos in "Defense Funding"...Of course by the next day, all was forgotten.

$9 TRILLION bucks was also found missing from Federal Reserve during a Hearing back in 2010. Nothing addressed in that case either.

Just sayin'.

$2000 per month for 30 years...

In other words, she’s paying for a house she’s not living in.

That probably happens, too, but in this person’s case she probably did get a real money-making degree. Just maybe not that much money at first.

That’s a nice house too! 2K a month will get you a $400K mortgage.
