I'm in seminary right now, at age 52. I'll die in debt, but then I'll go to Heaven. Come get the money, jerks.

Navient sucks.

In the Netherlands they would be prosecuted for loan sharking, scamming and blackmail.

My student loans were originally $14,000...I inherited $28k from one account and it was exactly enough to pay them off 16 years after graduation.

Why is this legal?

My dad had to die a horrible death from kidney cancer in order to cancel out the Parent Plus Loan he took for my education. I did manage to pay off my student loans a couple of years ago, buy defaulting and getting my wages garnished. It sucked but it was a payment plan that seemed to work.

Insane.. Wow..

I was told there would be buff dudes with mohawks fighting over gasoline.

Apparently, they need more mathematicians...

TBH I have no idea how that is possible. He's spending about 50c/day on food. What does he eat? One breadroll? That's insane. That's literally below the internationally defined poverty line. Hectic.

Similar story with houses here. My house is about 133 000. I've paid so far about 66 000. I still owe 120 000, ie that 66 000 has eroded 13 000 usd debt. It's just to do with your repayment rate and your interest level.

So you have to physically get hurt to be able to pay off a debt, man that's all kinds of messed up

This is literally selling a baby as a way to pay off one's debt. God bless America.

why nobody are out in the street and shooting bank manager for that? no... you storm the capitol because your cult leader is angry

Leave WSB out of it!

Why don't people move out of America to study? I mean, it would be cheaper to come to my country, reside in student housing here, pay for all your meals, lodging and education. Still would come out a lot cheaper, and you would have a nice international experience.

It's funny that is says: "Post a video showing how you would celebrate paying off your student loans". Which means that they don't believe that anyone could actually do it. So they made a contest out of what people would do if they achieved something unreal like taming a dragon or finding the Fountain Of Youth. Which both are more likely to happen than people paying of their student debts.

I graduated in 1980, and paid off my student loan in ten years (at $60 dollars a month.) The rate of inflation for college tuition is a sin. How did it get to this?

Where did you get your loan from to accrue 20% interest in just 3 years? My wife has a loan from the UK's student loans company from around 2015 and it's only 1.1%. Also, her initial loan was about a quarter of yours but she pays around three times what you pay.

From which we learn the question is not "What math are the borrowers studying?" but "What math are the lenders studying?" When I took math, 0% interest multiplied out to 0 interest.

This is the reason they need to keep poverty going.

You mean one day I will be able to afford a 1990 Olds Cutlass? That'd be pretty sweet.

Winning the lottery and the Olympics

Talk about sacrificing your first born!

So I'm guessing this is not including nightclub or school or concert mass shootings?

What on earth is the student loan interest rate in the US?!! I thought the UK's was bad enough

I'm still building mine.
