Considering the overall debt landscape was built upon predatory tactics to take advantage of and siphon as much money from young people who may not know any better, or assume doing so was for the greater good of obtaining a higher education, it only makes sense that there is a reversal and correction of those practices. --- http://imgur.com/a/WqlxL ...

This will probably make me sound like a piece of shit but honestly, as long as it doesnt significantly affect me financially, Im all for it of course. Its just I found ways to make my own way through life without college because Ive always known what a bullshit scam it was, and Im doing well enough for myself.

wackyteen 03/11/25 7:28:48 PM #12: |
Yes, and more than that: All student loans should be capped at a small interest percent, like 2-5%, and the total amount a loan can cost is no greater than 50% more than the initial amount of the loan. So if you were to take on a $100,000 loan, the most you could ever wind up paying is $150,000 on the individual loan. The fact that loans have been handled the way they have where you can pay for years and wind up owing the same amount of money or more after 10/15/20 years is absolute insanity and the fact no politician ever ran against that insane system is almost as telling and insane. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.

I believe education should be free ("wah wah tax dollars not actually free" at functionally no cost when divided amongst the populace. Shut up), and seeing as we are decades into making it the opposite of that I of course also support student loan forgiveness. My debts are settled besides a few ~200$ loans left that I can't be assed to finish off now to save like 40 dollars in interest for the remaining interval (even if the method to do so were working, which it does not currently thanks to the administration's ratfucking), I'd get functionally nothing out of this.

No. It doesn't fix the problem so we'd be right back where we started in a few years. More should be invested in schools so they are A LOT cheaper as well as cutting uneeded administrative costs. Loans should be interest free. For those strapped with loans they have no possible way to pay back bankrupsy should be an option. --- I'm an artist at what I do.

yeah. tbh, a lot of growing up was hearing teachers say "you need to go to college if you want to be successful" when college is a risk. there is absolutely no guarantee that you'll get a job with that degree. I know people who have a master's degree and they work at a restaurant. Hell, I know someone who has a teaching license and she drives uber. and to the people who say "oh, well you agreed to the loan, you have to pay it back"... what lender in their right mind will give $100k to a 17-18 year old kid unless it is predatory and has strings attached? Nobody in their right mind is going to lend $100k to a kid for a house, a business, etc. because it's a stupid decision on the lenders part... but for school? Yeah, here's the money, have fun paying it back for the rest of your life. So yeah, I think schooling should be either paid in full by the government or at least heavily subsidized. I do think education is important, and anyone who wants to further their education should be able to do so. I don't think people should be punished for trying to better their lives. --- ? ...

Change the laws so that these sort of ultra predatory loans are no longer allowed. Now we recalculate the current loans with the new reasonable rules and rates. Anyone who has hit the new payoff level on their loan already will be clear of their debt. Everyone else just keeps paying under the recalculated terms. This seems reasonable to me. People still pay back the money that they borrowed but they are now doing it under fair terms. --- It's not a war crime the first time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

*shrugs* I don't have a problem with it. I was a lot more up in arms about it when I had just finished paying a bunch of them off myself, but that was a long time ago and it doesn't seem like as big of a deal anymore. I get the whole thing with you agreed to it you should honor it, but look, these kids are like 17-18 years old when they get tangled up in this. What the hell do they know about money? Bare minimum, we should have a law where lenders have to sit them down and walk them through the payment schedule instead of just handing it to them knowing there's almost no chance they read it, understand it or ask questions about it. "So your last payment is due when you're 50, and over that time you'll have paid back 238% of what you borrowed." Would I hope that an 18 year old is mature enough to have an idea of what they're getting into? Sure. Do I find that realistic?

Again, when it comes to student loan forgiveness, a lot of it has been twisted by media. Most of the forgiveness went out to people who went to well documented fraud schools like Art Institute or ITT. They lied to students about payment amounts, types of loans, payment plans, job rates, etc. Thats why they were forgiven. --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 ...

The whole system effectively groomed people into taking on these loans through a variety of FOMO, quick/knee-jerk life or career decisions, inducing delusions of grandeur, etc and then making people feel they had to go to college right away.
