Listen, if you are feeling like it’s too late to follow your dreams or to change things, recall that the very first LIFE ON EARTH film by David Attenborough came out in the 70s when David was 53. Think of every amazing thing he has done since to change the world and promote the environment; these happened in his 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and now at 96 he is working on a new documentary in Scotland. I’m 45. It’s like I haven’t been born yet in David years. #nature #environment #aging #hope
@bschillace he was probably paying off his student loans until age 53 and couldn’t do anything until they were done
@twitterreject is there a laugh but also bitter tears emoji? I did get mine paid off before 50, but it’s rare ain’t it
@bschillace I’ve nearly paid the amount I originally borrowed over last 16 years. Bc of compounding interest, I still owe nearly double the amount I borrowed and have 22 more years of payments. They are private loans so I don’t qualify for any of perks of federal loans, but I can’t include them in bankruptcy bc they are still backed by federal govt.
