On Wednesday, I pulled up my go-to news site for some midday procrastination. When I saw the headline about President Joe Biden announcing student-debt cancellation, I immediately texted my sister. After a flurry of messages about what we knew, she summed up what we were both feeling: This is literally life-changing.
It wasn't an exaggeration. I graduated from an expensive private college 12 years ago, and I still pay hundreds of dollars each month in student loans. My sister learned a bit from my mistakes. She graduated from a community college last year with a career-focused associate's degree in healthcare. But she still had plenty of student loans. When we talked about it, I could see the anxiety I'd felt for more than a decade reflected on her face.

They need to close all schools that have student loans forgiven. Just like they did the private for profits schools under Obama. These are scam degrees if people can’t get jobs to pay them off, so close them down!
Bad planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on my part.
I hate them because I and my husband have done everything the legal, moral, ethical way, the way our parents taught us....
try to avoid debt but pay it off if you do have it...
give your employer your best efforts and work hard...
pay your taxes on time and donate to charity....
we're all such stinking fools.....
we should have risked our money on outlandish schemes and vacations homes because even if we couldn't pay for them, we could claim bankruptcy and nobody would care...
Another DUMB A$$ $HITHOOK heard from.
The stupidity, it burns. The idea that these people are deceptive enough to even suggest they were a victim is almost unbearable.
As Kudlow put it: today’s colleges and universities are hedge funds with a school room attached.
If I were her, I’d just shut up.
I’ve been saying much the same for years now. Why struggle your whole life to do what’s right when in the end those who didn’t wind up in the same place as you?
How does someone who graduates from Community College have burdensome student loans? Can people get these loans for more money than needed for tuition and books etc.?
“I graduated from an expensive private college 12 years ago.”
Who is the moron in this story? You borrowed and spent the $100k on yourself. And now you want me to pay for your ill-advised, immature, and selfish mistake? No. But SloJoe comes along and reward you for your pathetic behavior and decision making. Typical of Democrat - rescue people from their self-inflicted idiocy. Disgusting.
Idiot.
No planning horizon.
Ok karren.
“....saw that the $18,000 loan would cost me nearly $60,000 over its lifetime...”
But she did admit that her family was just as dumb as she was .... possibly genetic.
Self respect.
Release the names of the forgivees, and allow access to that database by plumbers, electricians,other tradesmen, cops, firemen, paramedics, etc.
