CMV: I paid off all $30k in student loans and I don’t wish it on anyone.

I worked my ass off to pay my undergraduate student loans off and I don’t think this should be forced on anyone. The government should relieve all student debt, immediately.

I have a wonderful degree with a professional job and a living wage. I wouldn’t have any of this had I not gotten substantial help from my family when I had medical issues. Nor if I did not split rent with a partner who works full time. Nor if I did not get a research scholarship covering my graduate tuition. Nor if my grandparents didn’t give me a free car. But that’s me, and I’m privileged as shit. 

I don’t personally feel I lose out if someone else gets their loans relieved, and the net benefit to society would be immeasurable. I don’t understand why so many people in my position feel the need to simp for Navient. 

I’d be paying student loans off too if my hospital stay had bankrupted me, if my ancestors had been black and not given the option of homeownership, or if I was single and paying full living expenses.

If all we do is pay off peoples loans without doing anything else, the impact on society would be immeasurably bad.  The current system is broken. Tuition is too high, the loan system is predatory, there is no pressure on students to make wise decisions, just pressure to get money and get the degree. Students should be encouraged to plan financially for a degree that can be paid off by the career it enables. 

We need to fix the system to efficiently allow people to affordably get a degree that enables their future. If we just paid off everyone’s debt without doing that we are just continuing the cycle. Once a better system is in place, then you can (and should) address the existing debt.
