Hear about how much debt everyone in the US has all the time, curious about some of your stories!

My bad debt is 10k left on a school loan from a for profit school that is now out of business.

Only other debt is house.

So how are you all doing with debt management?

Only a mortgage.

I had student loans, but I finished paying those ~5-6 years ago.

I’m genuinely curious, what’s your opinion on broad reaching student loan forgiveness? If it happened tomorrow, would you be upset that you had payed yours off?

[–] hibsen@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that guy, but basically the same situation. I'd be thrilled. Not having to think about those every month has been amazing. I want everyone to feel that way, even if I have to pay more in taxes to cover it.

Ditto. I'm the same as OP. Paid off student loans in 2019 and now I just have a mortgage. Let's forgive everyone's loans plz.
