OTOH I can see parents not questioning the numbers from FAFSA (which were INSANE) and going “Well, I guess that’s just what college costs now…”
There needs to be relief for people trapped in predatory loans, worthless degrees and useless for profit schools.
My wife got a good degree… in print journalism, just before that industry folded in like a wet newspaper. She’s STILL carrying $40K in debt that she just can’t get rid of, worked in her chosen field for 90 days 20+ years ago, and hasn’t been able to use her degree since. :(
She got trapped in a cycle of low paying service jobs and here you go…
That all sounds totally reasonable, I’m just worried about future generations. If loan payoffs now cause inflated tuition for them, that’s not fair and they will rightfully curse us like we curse boomers.
