  8. This whole thread reminds me of a little debate I had with an old friend on Facebook awhile back. She made a passionate post when this all first started about how she'd taken $12K in loans out over 10 years ago and still owed nearly $10K. Blah, blah, blah, what a blessing, etc. So i questioned her on it. When she took out the loans, and for a few years after, she was a single mom struggling to make ends meet. Which I totally get. But she's been remarried for several years. She lives in a $300K+ house. At the time of her post, her husband was driving an $80K+ truck, I'm sure he still is. She has no job. She did some pyramid scheme for a while, but as best I can tell her full time job now is training for those muscly women pageant things. A couple of months after her post about student loans she made a post bragging about her new luxury SUV her husband had bought her. I don't remember what brand it was, but I remember looking it up at the time and the base models started somewhere north of $75K. There should be NO loan forgiveness, but if it's going to happen, the monetary parameters need to be tightened tremendously, and if you're not even using the degree you got, or didn't even finish, there's no way anybody should be on the hook for that. Nor should anyone be paying anything at all for someone who chose "the college experience" at the price of $40-$50K a semester when the same degree could've been had for pennies on the dollar somewhere else. If getting that degree from a prestigious college isn't going to help you make up the money you're paying to attend that institution, it's on you to figure out how to pay it back.
  9. $100 extra on it a month would've paid it off years ago. with what you make you should've been able to do $1000 extra a month with no issue if you so chose to. Instead you paid the bare minimum, undoubtedly assuming you'd just do that forever with a few bucks a month and never have to fully pay it off. Things worked out even better for you, it appears.
  10. yeah, probably have an $800-$1000 note. But couldn't pay an extra $200 a month on your student loan principle and pay it off 15 years ago.
  11. I know you're smarter than this. Apart from just trying to upset people, there's no possible way you think that this is a good idea, surely.
  12. what a nonsensical argument. you're making 100k a year, but now you're going to stimulate the economy because you're not making a minimum student loan payment anymore? You've been stimulating the economy. If you haven't managed to pay that loan off, then you've been blowing your money on something. There should be no relief for people who have $900 car notes and $1500 mortgages but are making min payments on their student loans each month.
  13. You've had a loan for 20 years, make more than 4x the loan amount yearly, and haven't even made a dent in the loan? Nobody should be paying that loan but you. What terrible fiscal responsibility. That's inexcusable, as is the govt paying off loans for people doing it. There should be ZERO loan forgiveness, but if it's got to exist, it should be for people who actually need it. You do not. My wife took out 11K in student loans 3 years ago to get her masters and we've paid them off already, and neither us makes anywhere near $100K a year. We've managed that while paying a 15-year note on a mortgage and two car notes. It's really not difficult.
  14. I completely disagree with this. I have no issue with anyone in the LGBTQ community, but have a major issue with political indoctrination of children. Teachers and schools should be teaching students how to think, not what to think. As a teacher myself, I would never ever consider bringing my politics into the classroom, or providing literature to students that pushes an agenda. Any teacher who does so should be fired. Any school board who encourages it should be disbanded. There are certain issues that for various reasons that the school should stay out of, and let parents teach their kids. This is one of them.
