I believe the problem with most it’s hard for them to sacrifice for becoming debt free. I believe if ppl would just give up all things the eye sees and wants and stick to the plan ppl would not have debt. I fight hard to stay outta debt by only buying what I can afford and making every dollar count. I only buy things I need when they go on sale and hardly buy anything unless it’s in the budget. It takes commitment but the peace you can gain for not being stressed out about money is worth the sacrifice.

[@scottsanders2474]

Brian still hasn't come to realize he borrowed money to go to college several years ago and it is a debt he should pay. He doesn't seem to make the connection that at least some of the reason he is making $90,000 a year is because he attended college on borrowed money. It happened so long ago that now he has forgotten what he received (an education) and is pissed he has to pay the money back. That's why he is not "motivated." Brian, don't be a deadbeat and expect some guy (a taxpayer) who didn't go to college to bail you out of your student loan debt. You, not he, got the benefit of attending college. And let's be clear that Joe Biden isn't going to pull any money out of his pocket to pay your loan. Man up and get this knocked out by 2025.

I do too, but I still remember 20 years ago how schools encouraged me by making it seem like it was so simple. Take out a loan, then you will get a degree and make so much money, and then just pay it back. I got accepted to a great college, but it was very expensive and I flunked out my first year. That was actually a great thing that happened. My parents set me straight and made me go to a much cheaper, but still accredited community college. I ended up tutoring there and they covered 50% of my costs and when I graduated, my first company only cared that I had a degree. I was able to pay back the loans within 3 years. My best friend graduated from that other college I flunked out of, and he just showed me his loan balance statement of $122K still remaining a few weeks ago. For his sake, I was rooting for him to still get some kind of support, but I realize that meant putting the burden on myself and everyone else who paid off their loans. The system is truly a messed up one.
