When payments resume shit's gonna get ugly

[–] adude007@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it is. And those who didn’t make payments or weren’t able to during the pause just extended their debt slavery by 3 years.

It’s outrageous that loans that cannot be discharged have such high interest rates.

It’s outrageous that the something that benefits us all must be taken on by those willing to step up and learn.

Well at least we saved a massive amount with inflation, better to pay it now 4 years later after having it at 0 interest than 4 years ago when money was worth more

If the inflation translates to wages but I've yet to see that happen.
