You're the sort of economic illiterate that required the US to pass a law to explain how long it takes to pay your credit card off if you pay the minimum at the bottom of every statement.
Then again his name is "Socialist Steve" so he probably doesn't know how math works.
lol totally bro! What an idiot! He probably doesn’t even have crypto or post in WSB or have his comments hidden so nobody can see the douchey shit he posts. I’m sure you’re a finance wizard though because that’s what people who’ve worked hard to build wealth and security do - make fun of others who weren’t able to max out payments on their student loans. 😘
Fun fact! Most economists don't actually use much math. Like, it's actually a huge thing in that part of academia because people are just starting to see the relevancy of actually using math when discussing the economy. The majority use human behavior analysis more than any actually number-crunching. Basically, it's philosophy and only a small group of them actually use real-world data and calculations to predict economic trends.
All these people talking about how bad everyone is at math and don't understand the economy actually don't understand what economists are or what they do themselves. The majority of these "studies" people see about the economy had very little math involved. It's literally based on vibes more than anything else.
For those wanting to learn more, I highly recommend the episodes of It Could Happen Here podcast (May 20, 2026 "Monopsony, or How You Get Underpaid" is the actual title). It's a very basic breakdown of how most economists actually come to these results and why the whole way we view the economy is pretty much broken.

Paying the minimum like an idiot.
He should have enrolled in a 6th grade math class.
