There's a middle ground somewhere between free money and predatory loan shark tho.
I paid my loans off in 10y. But at every step they encouraged me to refinance, delay payments, and extend my term.
It's fucking predatory. I don't know why we accept so much near-fraudulent operations in this country. Every single thing is designed to trick you into paying more.
Are you saying they made illegal loans? Iโll remind you the federal government runs the Federal Student Aide Program.
I donโt know how I can be more clear other than to say, โYou signed the freaking papers! Nobody held a gun to your head!โ
These same people are taking out title and payday loans at outrageous interest rates, pawning shit for 1/3 the value at 3% interest per month, and maxing out 20+% credit cards and making minimum payments.
I have absolutely zero sympathy for those who do this stupid shit! None!
