TODAY'S QUESTION:
I have over 100k in student loan debt, and I keep meeting other people with student loan debt that wax poetic about how they feel like “their money belongs to the department of education” and “they owe it to the country to pay that money back” “I made a commitment, I don’t want loan forgiveness” and sentiments of that nature. Am I entitled or being an asshole by feeling like: I’m paying mine back because I have to, but I don’t see anything noble about it and if I could get out of it, I would. I’m paying what I have to pay to qualify for the PSLF program and I’m not paying a penny more. Do I need to adjust my attitude? LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?
