When payments resume shit’s gonna get ugly

Yes it is. And those who didn’t make payments or weren’t able to during the pause just extended their debt slavery by 3 years.
It’s outrageous that loans that cannot be discharged have such high interest rates.
It’s outrageous that the something that benefits us all must be taken on by those willing to step up and learn.

Well at least we saved a massive amount with inflation, better to pay it now 4 years later after having it at 0 interest than 4 years ago when money was worth more

If the inflation translates to wages but I’ve yet to see that happen.

When I got engaged to my wife and we were going over our finances, her student loans blew my mind. The way they set up her payments, more than half of her loans were growing despite making monthly payments. The freaking interest was higher than she paid in every month.

What a fucking joke.

Congratulations, Americans. You really showed how much you dislike Hillary Clinton. Have fun with the hellhole you created for yourself. Let me guess, you will vote Republican next year because Democrats didn’t do “enough”.

yeah, I bet the millions of Americans who voted Democrat and then had their votes functionally overturned by the archaic electoral college are just thrilled that student loan forgiveness was blocked
get a grip dude

I’m talking about the dipshits who opposed Hillary Clinton, who told me how bad she’d be and all that stuff. I went all in for her in 2016 because I knew what was at stake. Not enough americans did that and that’s how a 59.2% voter turnout gave us Trump, whereas in 2020, a 66.9% turnout prevented him.

I mean, fuck Reagan – he’s the reason why we’re in this mess in the first place.
