return2ozmaJust a reminder...
ApyteleFriendly reminder to people in similar positions that the fact I barely make a living wage as a nurse doesn’t mean the techs with less education than me that I supervise shouldn’t. In fact, if they’re making a living wage, that leaves room for me to advocate to make even more myself. This fight is about us taking from the rich, not from each other, and I refuse to let them control the narrative like that.
dohpaz42It should also be said that just because I already paid my student loans off doesn’t mean I don’t want other people to be in debt. Student loan forgiveness needs to be up there with the livable wage.
Yaaas. Let’s uplift each other people! Your fellow workers are NOT the enemy!
metaStaticdoes your student debt accrue interest?
TeddEProbably not after it was paid off
There are two types of loans: subsidized and subsidized. The subsidized loans do not accrue any interest, as the fed pays that for you. Unsubsidized loans do accrue interest; typically a lower rate than regular loans (mine were 6%). Student loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.
catloafThat is not correct. Subsidized loans accrue interest, but only starting six months after graduation or when you drop below half-time enrollment.
And the rate is the same for subsidized and unsubsidized, currently 6.53%. studentaid.gov/understand-aid/…/interest-rates
My loans were over 20 years old. Things have changed since then.

🤔 (lol)
SabataYes, enough where its possible to have your student debt die after you.
There’s some double negation confusion at work here, but I think you wrote that you do want other people to be in debt ;)
Yes. You’re right. Thankfully it seems everyone understands what I meant though. 😊
Student loan forgiveness is regressive by definition (those lucky enough to go to college are a minority that earns on average $0.5 to $1 million more over their lifetimes, than those who don’t), aren’t you against wealth transfers from poorer to richer?
If the goal is free education then yes, there has to be a cutoff somewhere
