    When my student loans went to zero interest I got rid of them. It took a lot of sacrifices but we did it. We spent every extra dime on them and they are done! The government is the last group I would ever trust for my financial success. Thanks Dave and Jade for promoting the truth!

    When it’s zero interest, why not invest the money? Zero interest loans are literally free money. I owed 500k in student loans when the pause started 3 years ago… I bought a house, sold it (last year) due to work-related move (very fortunate for a 120k profit). Have 250k in HSA at 4.8% (that’s 20-30k extra over the last 3 years (didn’t start with 250k, interest wasn’t 4.8% 3 years ago either)… in the last month preparing for loan interest restart, I paid 250k… the same amount I’d otherwise have paid (but instead I now have more to throw at the student loan and an emergency fund)… there’s more than one way to manage debt. These guys preach ONLY to the irresponsible people.

    I'm so grateful i never went along with the student debt trend. I attended a 2 year college in the morning during the week and worked on the afternoon/ nights 7 days a week to support myself and pay for school. Until i got on at a company who paid for tuition reimbursement, stayed there for 8 years and worked my way through different departments. Then got a better job, no one even cares about my schooling only my experience. Now i own my home, i bought a brand new car and most people my age afre struggling. But they were the ones foot loose and fancy free living the life back then. I was homeless, on my own at 15 so i learned early I suppose...

    Was yours 0% during the pause? If so, you missed out on compound/dividend/ and high rate saving accounts that could have grown that cash over time. You would’ve been able to pay that loan off and have some house money after these 3 years. My 10k I had set aside for my student loan in 2020 grew to 26k today. Now I can pay it off and have 16k on the side.

    In actuality, it would have been smart to weigh your options during a pandemic. 1.) There is a chance you were not going to work and 2.) If you were going to work, you would make the best use of the $, which means if housing was low, you would have bought a house before paying on a student loan. Why? Because it would be cheaper than renting. People were trying to leverage during the pandemic. What I do not understand is why people were getting delivery on their food from fast food places? Just go out and drive thru it, use the money saved to pay down your student loans.

    I don’t think that college should be free for everyone. But if you make less than $60,000 a year as an individual over the age of 18 that I think that college should be free, no matter where you’re going, and no matter how how long it takes and that includes getting a masters or an MD, JD or a PhD. The only people who should have to pay for college are wealthy parents. Does this mean that we’re going to have a lot of people who are maybe not really meant for college go to college? Maybe but it’s more important that we have an educated populous than an uneducated populous. And it’s better for people who are poor to go and get bachelor, masters and some kind of doctorate degree and make as much money as possible then for them to only graduate high school or not even graduate high school I just have a GED. We need to end the cycle of generational poverty.

Many didn’t do the same and are now suffering.
