What are you talking about? It’s completely normal that my girlfriend and I could be both working full time and not afford a one bedroom apartment in a bad area

 

You don't know how percentages work, so you might be.

 

Yeah i make a decent salary but we had to get extra student loans to pay for child care so my wife could go back to school.

 

Being a plebe is a mindset

 

I liked this because I empathize, not because I actually like the facts of this post.

My current student loan balance is more than my mortgage. Unless things change for me dramatically, I'm over here banking on that loan forgiveness after 25 years of payments and I'll let Future Chris deal with those tax consequences.

 

yikes. I "only" have 7k left on mine that i've been paying for 5 years. my wife just finished her first year of grad school and her loan is probably at 15k already. we looked at the numbers and there just was no way we'd be able to pay for everything getting the minimum student loans we needed just to cover tuition so we took out pretty much double. it's not going to be fun paying those for the rest of our lives.

in 2 years when she goes back to working full time, kids are in public school things will be much better financially. until then it's going to be rough.

 

so is being a dog, apparently.

 

Student loans suck. My husband and I were at 75k and now we are down to about 14k. We don't go out much to say the least lol

 

You could always move to another country ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Depending on what happens between now and January 2021, I just might.

 

I can sympathize with everyone in regard to student loans!

My wife has $50,475 (to be exact haha) of student loans that for better or worse are now my loans too.

Ahhh, the joys of secondary education!

 

Hey just yesterday I accepted my student loan package for the upcoming year. Relatively speaking, my school is pretty cheap, but I’m gonna have to do a masters program eventually so that’ll suck

 

The kids mom packed them hard boiled eggs in their lunchboxes in a 90+ degree day. I am barfing

 

I should do a fundraiser for paying off all our student loans.
just selling chicken sandwiches for $2.

get 100 coupons, pick up 100 sandwiches, set up a little tent outside chick fil a. make $200 in an hour probably.

 

those eggs were raw when she put them in there.

 

Damn I wish my loans were even just twice of what everybody else’s here are

 

My 25,000 in loans don’t seem so bad now

 

We talking student loans? I have like $16,000 left in student loans and i didn’t get a degree. So it’s like $16,000 of completely thrown away money

 

It feels that way even if you get the degree

 

I actually have zero debt. It's my damn husband's fault lol

 

I owe the Canadian government like $11,000 because I didn't do my taxes for 5 years like a taint, so now I pay them $500 a month and am so filled with joy about it

I can't even conceptualize of qualifying for a student loan should I find something interesting education-wise. I'm 33, I'm just dying at this point

 

Oh what a tragedy I am sorry you’re so deprived

 

I think she’s saying she has essentially married into debt (I can relate!!!)

 

I don’t have any debt at all
