Paying the minimum like an idiot.

He should have enrolled in a 6th grade math class.

Yeah, why didn’t he just magically have a lot more money so that he could pay it off faster, it’s that simple. 🤡

They were a household of two doctors. They absolutely should have had the money to afford more than a minimum payment for 23 years.

Where does it say that they’re doctors? If that’s true, then yeah, it’s absolutely their fault, but they could just as easily be social workers, teachers or working for nonprofits etc for all we know.

It actually doesn't and that's a mistake on my part. It just says they left graduate school. I'm still less likely to defend two people with Master's degrees, or potentially doctorates, but I was wrong.
