Sorry guys you have to do like the Boomers you don't like and be responsible and pay off your debt like the rest of us did.

I paid off my student loan debt and still want to see loan forgiveness. Why should people have to suffer just because I did? Straight up evil.

Baby boomers paid for college with a summer job, bought their houses with a $10k down payment and then pulled the ladder up behind them by voting to massively cut funding for education and foot students with the bill. And now boomers are being forgiven ppp loans too lmao.

Ok boomer, such a mystery why people don't like you. Entitled clueless pricks, given the world and then turn into the worst example ever of "got mine, fuck you!". Go to hell.

Ah yes, back when you were basically guaranteed a high-earning job out the uni door and could pay the loan back in just a few years of working. You mean that being responsible?

Or do you mean responsible as in when the middle-class wasn't being crushed to nothing, almost everyone could afford to buy a home, and a single breadwinner could reasonably provide for a family?

Most boomers were able to pay for their college with part time/summer work.

What a horribly uneducated take. I guess there's a reason your education was 10 times cheaper than it is today.

This is a problem that boomers created.

We are just inheriting it while they all die.

Government forgiveness also makes the problem worse for gen Z. But hey, fuck them, I want mine, right?

Millennials are becoming what we hate and it's sad.

You dropped this "/s".

Wanting a government handout for rich people but refusing to call it a handout is the most boomer thing that millennials have ever done.
