So how much "bad" debt are you in? (lemmy.world)

Hear about how much debt everyone in the US has all the time, curious about some of your stories!

My bad debt is 10k left on a school loan from a for profit school that is now out of business.

Only other debt is house.

So how are you all doing with debt management?

Only a mortgage.

I had student loans, but I finished paying those ~5-6 years ago.

I’m genuinely curious, what’s your opinion on broad reaching student loan forgiveness? If it happened tomorrow, would you be upset that you had payed yours off?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that guy, but basically the same situation. I'd be thrilled. Not having to think about those every month has been amazing. I want everyone to feel that way, even if I have to pay more in taxes to cover it.

Ditto. I'm the same as OP. Paid off student loans in 2019 and now I just have a mortgage. Let's forgive everyone's loans plz.
