MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted July 22, 2014 Let me put it this way: sallieMaesucks.com was already taken. It's not just me. It's not as if the problems just materialzed because I posted in this thread. You would not have had these problems had you honored your part of the bargain. You can't borrow money and not pay it back. Even in bankruptcy it screws your credit up for a long time. I know bankruptcy does not work with student loans, and it shouldn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't suck so much when they were lending you money. If there weren't deadbeats like you, perhaps they would not take such a hard line on everyone else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted July 22, 2014 You need to prioritize saving for your next ski vacation Also, between those suggesting acquiring student debt is for the untalented and others critiquing you for not waiting for a government bail-out there is a whole lotta stupid in this thread. My wife won't go with me to Vail this winter and now both my parents and my sisters family live in Denver so I should not need a rental car. I should be able to ski with you for a couple days on the cheap. I have already added squats and lunges into my exercise regimen (in addition to running). Hopefully, I will be able to keep up on day 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JT 137 Posted July 23, 2014 Also, between those suggesting acquiring student debt is for the untalented and others critiquing you for not waiting for a government bail-out there is a whole lotta stupid in this thread. This. Congratulations to you for persevering through school, making the most of your degree, and having the foresight and discipline to pay off those loans. Kudos!

JT 137 Posted July 23, 2014 Irregardless of how much money my family has, NYU still expected me to pay my bills. See, you wouldn't know this but I also applied to Columbia for grad school, and got rejected. I coulda been a snotty, white aristocratic, ivey league a-hole. So ... You all have that to be thankful for. How could Columbia reject someone with such command of the language? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penultimatestraw 473 Posted July 24, 2014 This. Congratulations to you for persevering through school, making the most of your degree, and having the foresight and discipline to pay off those loans. Kudos! Thanks. But I never had educational loans - mostly because of my father's life insurance policy, but I had a small academic scholarship and worked in undergrad/med school too. I am planning to pay off my mortgage this year or next, though, 10 years into the loan. Some of these morons probably think that is a bad idea as well.
