Harder?

The misspelled “impossible”.

How old is the deadbeat son? 50?, 60?

I’d move to Texas and tell the lender and the deadbeat that I’d follow up (shortened to f/u) later.

More need cheaper degrees from state colleges.

His fault for enabling moochers instead of independent adults.

Agree, but here’s something that makes it a bit more complicated: try telling middle class people their high school kids should wait, rather than go to college straight from high school...in 90% of the cases, the responses will be adamantly negative. The same thing happens when the kids themselves try to tell their parents they ate not ready to go to college: they are told, “ You are going to college next year. No matter what.”

Never agreed with the notion of exposing all I have worked for, for school loans of a child.

In 2030, he’ll be 92. What bank would stretch out a loan this far, unless their goal is to create debt slaves?

I agree no Parent should have delay retirement because a child is in school. The child could work and go to school. That didn’t used to be a new idea.

Take Harlan Crider, of Elverson, Pa.: He’s 79, and he’s still putting in about 40 hours a week doing property assessments. He’d rather retire, but he owes $400 a month on loans he took out to help pay for his son’s college.

Ten bucks says that Sonny is 60 and makes 20K/yr teaching Women's Studies at East Central Community College.

The real sad part of this is that the students aren’t being educated. They are being indoctrinated into a hate America and the Constitution mentality. And, their parents are paying for it.

State university, not private university. Employable major, not something "fulfilling and meaningful". Community college for the first two years if money is tight. Earn the grades in engineering, nursing, accounting, or some other marketable skill, or get a blue-collar job and earn money. I would never have taken on a college loan for my kids; that would have been their job if necessary.

Maybe the kids should go to a community college for 2 years instead of running off to colleges with ridiculous tuition and room and board.

Hmmmm. Needs $400. Works 40 hours/week x 4 weeks/month. He's making $2.50/hr?

Maybe he likes working and is paying for the kid's college to get around the death tax.
