What you suggested is the equivalent of saying "why don't you just give /lit/ money to literally light on fire and burn ha ha". If you are paying off or even considering paying off student debt you aren't in bad shape. You're just retarded. There are ways of reducing it to $15 a month in which the lifetime repayment over the rest of your life is going to be a fraction of the principle. If you throw money at student loans, you're retarded. In fact, I used to support Bernie because he had mentioned "muh loan forgiveness". Guess what the retard suggested? Let's spend actual money to pay them off. No. There is no need to pay them off. You either get them discharged in bankruptcy court (see Brunner precedent, it's possible to discharge under chapter 7 if you're in really bad shape), sam hyde your way into a minimum payment of $15 a month, or just don't pay and file for chapter 13 every time a garnishment is filed, or flee the country. If you're not a retard, you can strategically time this so you acquire all major assets needed from house to car to yatch. Sorry, you're just a retard. Never going to make it.

Helps your credit score to have a debt to pay every month. They punish you for not spending money on credit every month, not a joke. It creates a cucked society with allegedly efficient levels of credit. There are some societies with horrible credit tracking (like India) and its impossible to get a loan and often they are acquired with kneecaps as collateral. China has a weak credit and banking system for individuals as well. Not sure about Europe, I'm sure its decent.

The comment I made was explaining the utility of debt. Unless you have insight into your circumstances and desires from now until you die, you should not be re-assured about your money or assets. Especially since income and savings aren't factors in most credit score calculations. Anyone who plans to continue making investments and buying various insurances understands this and wants a good rate. When 2008 came I had a lot of rich friends who had to sell multimillion dollar apartments overlooking the Hudson at huge discounts because their 710 wasn't cutting it and credit dried up for them. If you're some crazy cracker in the woods with your guns and a bunker good for you, but for normal investors/owners its good to maintain credit score.

Though my academic work was in political theory and most of my career was doing policy work. I hope to get back to that kind of work desu senpai, or even switch gears and go back into academia but I don't really want to chase tenure or deal with academic politics and I'm not too keen on the pay cut that would go with that.

Actually true. Economics majors go right into the trashcan at big investment banks. Those people want that IQ. They literally recruit math majors directly from my university.

Bought it locally on craigslist for $100.

It is sad when I go and look at them. Every "Marxist" I ever met was a well to do and quite stupid and never read any of the works. The others were LARPers. As a result I've settled as a center right sort of person in every day life. There is no way to debate "marxists", and even if you could win them over it would take such an immense waste of time and regardless they are such that they are devoid of any revolutionary potential. A wasted effort. They blather on about muh reactionaries when encountering any of the working class. They substantiate their arguments by deferring to books they've never read and whenever they clearly lost an argument will always resort to slander and moral arguments. If you do take the Marxist leninist pill, do not interact with left leaning people of today and do not structure your arguments to appeal to them.
