Over 1 trillion in outstanding student loans. Plug that into your model of impending economic Armageddon.
SnowMongoose
This website makes me feel like I'm the only one who worked at least one job all through college to keep his debt in check. Wild, right?
FutureVillain
I have $3100 to go!

I keep seeing people complain about student loans, but I think its more that people dont understand any personal finance.
foresthillsbob
It only takes 10 years. Then onto a 30 year mortgage.
ShadowsForLight
This is funny and so realistically sad at the same time.

Death or Bankruptcy. Your choice.

Guess who got no student loans? Yes you're right, thats me. Why don't i have student loans? Cus i'm from germany. lol

Considering most imgurian lifestyle choices, I'd give you 75 years tops.
Klnwltrnk
Based on both grandpa's I will probably make it to 76. If my dad drops in 24 years when he is 76, I'll start to feel good about this number.

Just got a job at a Title 1 school. Pay isn't great, but student loans forgiven after 5 years teaching.

Spent 8 years in the military and had the option to use my GI Bill. Said hell with that, got my CDL and make 70k a year and benefits

You don't need to take student loans... It isn't the nation's fault for y'all to make bad financial decisions.
Thatoneguyfromthedistance
Oh poop, I'm drunk. It isn't the nation's fault that y'all make bad financial decisions.

the only free ride is the one afforded for all. such rides are not even existent in amusement parks.

In one hand, you have decades of crippling debt. In the other you have working yourself to death while trying to keep up with your studies.
IJustLikeToArgue
Decades? That's only if you decide to make only minimum payments. My wife and I are paying off her school debt. Will be done in 2 years.
Thatoneguyfromthedistance
Or, you don't take a full year or semester of college... You only take what you can afford. But this will get down voted too

I'm buying a house at 22... I didn't go to college.

Congratulations! Some people have to work two jobs in order to pay rent, and consider electricity a luxury.

Instead of paying rent I am buying a small house so I can start to build equity, actually it is cheaper than renting an apartment by about

I ever regret this" on most decisions I make. "Can I afford this?" "Do I need this" what are my goals? Does this help me attain my goals...

In the UK, student loans are cancelled if you haven't payed it off in 30 years
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
Start out at community college, it's a far cheaper road.
willmcmahan182
I'm in my freshman year of college at a community college, and even looking at just one year so far it's much cheaper

Everyone gets this. It's also depending on nation and income level.
DVSBSTrD
I did exactly that. And with a scholarship or two, my parents paid off the debt in three years.

Congrats on having parents with money.
DVSBSTrD
Ha, we're hardly rich. They just don't throw it away on stupid things.
blackfire1
If thats what you think you had a pretty padded childhood I'd guess.
causality
Yeah but beware; they'll lie right to your damn face about what does and does not transfer.
ChristYarmolyu
Also my cousin in law had to stay an entire additional year to finish the transferable creditsbc they packed her sched. w/ one's that"were"
ChristYarmolyu
Exactamundo. My bf was told take take and pay for unecessarily bc they didn't "realize " they were non-transferable to his university
BrumpoTungus
Always meet with a rep from the college(s) you plan to attend.
justahumanonline
That's why you check with both the university you want to transfer to and the CC, then ask them both about discrepancies.

Here in south africa our students have gone on strike for free education. #FeesMustFall and set a few campus on fire.
NeverWithoutMyMoleskinePocketNotebook
In America they'd call us entitled brats or something.
NeverWithoutMyMoleskinePocketNotebook
oh wait, they already do that.
3point141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105
Well, it wouldn't be south africa without a little arson
sorathecrow
Yep that's a good way to deal with your problems. Don't like something, set it on fire. Very civilized, rational. Reminds me of ferguson.
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
That last part is not encouraging.
inconspicuouselephant
There definitely is a problem here in the US but free education is definitely not the answer. The market is already saturated with degrees
MaciekWaszczuk
Oh, is this an example of "We'll burn the bridge when we get to it"?
Promethianfire
Setting fire to the thing you want provided for free may not be the best plan.
theotherhedgehog
Welcome to South Africa (or most African countries actually), land of all the sense
sorathecrow
They really need schools for common sense before they start thinking about careers.
Cayowin
news article from yesterday -"Mugoidwa Secondary at Tshivhulana village was the 29th school in the area to be set alight." -
eclect0
Now they're going to have to raise their fees so they can replace the shit that got burned up. I don't think this was thought through.
Cayowin
In SA we celebrate riots, 3 of our public holidays are dedicated to historical marches/riots. Our most famous leader- Mandela started an...
Cayowin
organisation that planted bombs in night clubs and burned schools. So yeah.
Padowan
Seriously though, if every student refused to sign back up due to fees, they would have to change! It's a pipe dream though
dmanroxsox
The other part of that would be getting everyone regardless of economic status to follow through.
Cayowin
In SA we have a fund which provides bursary for poor students, when they qualify and get jobs must pay back the fund, at verylow interest.
Cayowin
but only 20% of ppl have paid back the fund at all , so new students cant get loans.
dumasaphobic
Fall but not free. Let's work on affordable education. Not a system that gets bankers more wealth.

Poorly-behaved ones make for fantastic stereotypes, however. Until they get their way.

Yeah. Fuck Gandhi.
AxelBeingCivil
Gandhi was peaceful. All of his followers... Less so. Chauri Chauri incident, etc. Not that they lacked cause to be angry.

I mean, he did nuke everyone

Only in Civilization!
DarkNinja2462
You can't prove he isn't a part of a global conspiracy!
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Because peaceful protests have never worked before...
flock9512
Yea the holocaust was definitely ended through protests or diplomacy
failphins2
Totally the same thing. I would agree terrorism won't be defeated through peaceful protests but changing the price of college?
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
We got civil rights through peaceful protest. Also Gandhi. Just Gandhi.

Dang, that's extreme. I would never do something like that. I'd get caught.

in the last attack cops caught 17 students; currently suspended from Uni, awaiting trial with police.

Haha, I didn't think of that. Now, you see why'd I get caught. I was a lurker for a couple of year and finally made an account in January.
