I think all high school students should have to take a 1 semester class in personal finance. One of the topics should be “how to read and understand the master promissory note for your student loans.”
No student should graduate and sign student loan paperwork without 100% understanding that they are making a promise to repay that money. I am so tired of hearing about “poor kid, they can’t buy a house because of their student loans.”
Listen up: YOU signed the loan. You enrolled in college.
I know this opinion will make me unpopular with some of my friends. Oh, well. I paid my loans back, well over $100K total. You can as well. This forgiveness is shit. I want a refund.
