Yes that’s because of Obama

Yeah I’m over 40. Check out Givling a free app that’s crowdfunding studentdebt by playing trivia. My invite code is CT123230 Good luck! givlingcode studentloans

What's crushing is paying taxes on Social Security and other retirement income. d

Issue is the universities have too many professors not teaching enough and the facilities are opulent and above what is needed to learn.

Looking forward to voting for the 2020 candidates with the most comprehensive student loan reform package. Time to get my generation out from under these vultures

Whose fault is that? Certainly not mine. They signed for LOANS. Grown up rules in play!

That’s crazy!! We are destroying ourselves

It’s part of the liberal plan.. universities have no accountability. Board that runs milks for contracts favors. Admin inefficient. Been corrupted.continue to increase tuition to pt we’ll go socialist.

Peoples fault. But also, why is college that disproportionately expensive compared to 30 years ago?

Just pay them off.

I would never take out a loan.

Loans are when you don’t have it and promise to pay later I guess you can whine later or I guess you could say the loans take out didn’t pay off Darn bad choice?

Zero compassion. Too many parents indulge their kids to attend schools they can’t afford for all the wrong reasons. Not me. Both my boys graduated with zero debt, now earning very good livings at Fortune 50 companies.

If you're dealing with your children's student loans, you failed them (and yourself).

Shouldn’t we be asking how in just 40 years a 4 yr college degree at a state school went from affordable with a summer job to 20 years of debt.

Prior planning prevents piss poor performance. Look in the mirror and fix what went wrong.

I refuse to work. Where’s my check?

Seems to me you could get 'crushed by debt' if you borrow money to make ANY investment that doesn't have a positive ROI. Smart investments don't crush you. Only bad ones. And nobody forced you to make a student loan.

I always wanted to be a lawyer. Had to wait until I was 38 to go back to law school. Paid for it all out of pocket with a few scholarships along the way. Zero student debt. Have many friends who have tons and can’t even imagine.

I get debt from your children's loans, but if you're over 60 and still paying your own student loans, you've made some poor choices along the way.

How do get through college with out debt? I was married and had 3 children and I needed to be able to help financially. I went to my local community college, studied hard and ended up as a fully licensed registered nurse. Ta Da! No debt, good income!

...you didn’t finish the headline...’by choice’...

just to be indoctrinated in leftist idealogy...

I have none,neither my five children..I avoided that trap..thankGod

When people sign up for student loans, they are not compelled to do so. They are confronted with the amount due, the interest rate and the terms. No injustice here. I am someone who had student loans and worked my tail off to pay them back. Those loans afforded me my career!

Sister article: There are a lot of stupid people in America

If it doesn't trickle down to this class, think about how the rest of America is doing. The rich got richer and figured out how to increase the cost of a college education while simultaneously devaluing it.

The longer we wait to replace Capitalism with Socialism, the worse America will become and the longer it will take to reverse the damage done by criminal bankers.

Wow! now that is insane!
