I laughed way too hard at "Fee Fi Fo Fum fee!"

Well put

And when Trump takes over, you will lose your jobs if you are a Federal employee.

Overdraft fees are the stupidest thing (well, one of the stupidest).

In 1980, the federal deficit was less than a billion dollars. After Reagan's trickle down policy, by the end of his second term, it was over three billion dollars, and it's gone up exponentially ever since.

And, instead of sharing, they want even more. As the French would say " off with their heads!"

I don't mind paying taxes. It's getting my money ripped off by billionaire grifters and corporations that not only don't pay taxes, they get government subsidies, while I drive on pot holed streets.

Is that why we have so many of those "begpackers?"

Right there

This is just sad.

Never thought of it that way but, by golly, he's right you know.

Here your income must be three times your rent to qualify. Rents start at $1,000/month. Minimum wage, $15, works out to less than $3,000.

He is not streaking. Streaking is running with no clothes on. So he shouldn't get any money.

Me at age 33 I don't want to wake up and pay for a place to sleep at. Life is better asleep.

I paid my student loans off after 16 years. But, I have no animosity toward people who had their loans forgiven. People should not have to suffer because they want to better themselves.

My Grad school loans were 6.8%. I paid extra to each monthly payment to get it taken care of sooner

Er... minimum payments on that kind of debt cover interest and only the tiniest slice of principal. I used a mortgage calculator and found that paying $523/month -- only 23 bucks more -- would clear a 6.53% 70,000 loan in 20 years. Whoops. Fun fact... if you bumped that up to $550/month you'd have paid it off in a mere 7 years, and saved $38k in interest!

Because you took out those loans. Yes the system should be revised so it won't be as bad for this generation but taxer payer money shouldn't go towards private loans.

You should have paid $250 more to a financial consultant the first month after getting the loans. You would have found out you could repay the bloody debt faster just by paying a bit more than the minimum amount. And save a ton of interest while doing it...

That's poor financial management to put a term of 30+ years ona student loan. Love poor, pay your debt, enjoy financial freedom. It starts by not paying for a junk degree.

So close Steven, so close

Student loan debt shouldn't be cancelled, it should be restructured. What makes you think it is okay to borrow money and not repay it?

No matter what I get at Walmart, it is always at least $100. I live in a small town, and the only other grocery store within 30 minutes is actually more expensive.

Retirement fund is growing I see

Finally, an affordable house!

Thank god they don't do this bullcrap in my country. Yet.

Can still buy a decent used car for that though.

Pay the loan, ditch the crazy fee structure and high interest rate. People who have been making their payments, but now owe more need help. A $30,000 loan that is now$100,000 is NOT the same loan you paid.

Disgusting

Poor, Frodo

Except in the US, for-profit prisons make a lot of money for everyone except the taxpayers.

Tipping is out of control. I'm sorry, but I'm not tipping you for doing what you already get paid for and aren't doing anything to make my experience better.

I taught my kids about taxes by taking a big bite out of every snack they asked me to open for them. They were still hungry so they had to ask for another snack, from which I took an even bigger bite. (This is sarcasm, BTW).

Old fashioned boss. He wants to see his company succeed without huge debt, take care of his employees, and foster a safe, pleasant workplace.

The government doesn't give you a credit score.

Can I have my allowance now?

Trump. I fear what he & his sycophants will do.

Not gonna lie, I'm going to have to blame us the electorate for putting up with this nonsense.

In the 1950s, $8000 was a huge amount of money. Like two to four years' salary.

Gotta get that money to hand to the billionaires that have perfected regulatory capture.

i can cook 5 good meals for that money that will taste good. I cant afford delivery meals.

Just turn the radio up louder

actually, it would be London!
