I owe about 15 grand in student loans and I don't know how I'll pay for them when I graduate college next year.

Reading is for for faggots.

But more likely, part of the American idea that only the rich can have nice things. One could probably pay college on scholarships if they put in actual effort, but /jp/ never puts in effort.

$1000, with about $3500 in stuff I can sell

$1000 or so for a computer I bought last year.

Will probably never pay it off.

In my country, we have some plan where you pay off your education fees via your tax once you start earning a certain amount of money annually.

If you don't ever earn over 50k a year, you never pay anything back.

Well if you don't have money, you have to borrow money. Then they charge you more for borrowing the money.

Also you're probably a neet on welfare who never went to college. Why would you have debt?

I probably will never have debts
mom pays for my uni because education isn't that expensive here in the third world, and she told me I can stay home as long as I want to.
other than that I only need food and internet to live.

So true, at least it's the way for me.

I calculate that at worst I will have to pay $4000 for my final year using student loans after using what I have saved up. That's not exactly horrible but it's not very comforting either since I don't want really want to work and I doubt I can get a job. It's not like I really have much of a choice though.

>> No.9120960

I owe my parents my life, and (as far as I'm concerned, anyway, they don't much care) a ton of money. I also just today found out I owe the local newspaper, some magazine company, and verizon money, just not like 15k or something.

Santander (a.k.a. satander) owes me money from way back, but I don't think I can realistically expect to get paid.

Also, Reimu says she needs money.

>> No.9121088

I have a similar sized debt.

However I owe the money to the government, it's interest fee and I only have to pay once I get a certain annual wage.

I'm Australian.

I could have got the Government to pay for my uni fees but I choose not to.

I'm doing a course that is heavily subsidised by the government as they want more people doing the course, so my uni fees are only about $2000 a semester.

I have a scholarship from the uni where I get paid $2500 a semester.

So I pocket $500 a semester for going to uni, doing a degree with guaranteed employment.

I would give up a nonvital organ to be only 15k in student debt, I will have close to 80K. Stupid 17 yr old me, you should have just sat in your room and wasted away. I'm considering suicide.

What can they even do if you don't pay anyway? You don't have any money nor anything to take. Just take it easy.

>>9121298
That's why you just take out a standard loan instead of lowered interest student loans that you don't have to pay off until you graduate.

I myself got stuck in that one, and owe 1100USD after 2 years of schooling.

So I can actually pay that off if I got a job this summer.

>> No.9121368

>>9121325
Any money you earn, they will take it out of your paycheck. My mom graduated almost 20 years ago and they're still docking her paycheck. If you pay minimum payments, you will never pay it off, as the interest will simply go and go over what you already payed, so after many years you're back at step one.

The purpose of it is probably to keep the US populace bound to their land, just like serfs. Even if you move overseas, money you make comes back to the US. If you are in debt, you are actually owned whoever has the debt over you.
