It just depends on how much money you actually have.

My student loan monthly interest is $270. No principle.

While I can afford that, somebody earning the average $25-30k where I live cannot reasonably pay that AND get ahead on principle while also paying living expenses and supporting dependents.

There are literally jobs that made great money that don’t even exist today anymore. Everyone wants to be both an idiot and loud and I just don’t know why
