The Lone Diner

Here, here. I’ve got about $800 per month in student loan payments, and would LOVE to stimulate the economy by buying things, going out more, and saving for my future. Instead, I have a great job, extremely low pay, and am deferring all but my private loans which still take up a quarter of my income after taxes. Someone needs to push down on the private lenders!!!

When will this issue be addressed? The silence is deafening. 

#What she said. #Politicked #Forever in debt.

Tell me about it….

this is a question i have… and i’m admittedly not as well-versed in politics as i should be, so perhaps it is a dumb question… but if we want to stimulate the economy, WHY NOT HAVE SOME STUDENT LOAN DEBT RELIEF?? do you know how many people in my age group would buy new cars, houses, etc., if not for that nagging student loan debt??? thereby… STIMULATING THE ECONOMY???

I’m torn.  I mean, I took that money.  I should have to pay it back.  Did I feel cornered by Full Sail into using Sallie Mae as my student loan provider?  Yes, but I still took that money.

On the other hand, if I wasn’t paying $450 a month in student loan payments, maybe daddy could buy a new car or something.
