I’m getting tired of spoiled little brats that demand everything in life but offers nothing in return.

Seems somebody tried to take a dump in the woods and fell back into the prickly pear.

So you think we should pay for your wife becoming a baker?

Will she bake me bread, cookies and cake for free?

Yes I know. $4500 tuition per year for a 2 year associates degree equals $9000. Why incur $40,000 in debt for an $11.00 per hour job? She should have been working while taking classes and not needed student loans to fund living while taking CC classes.
I have done this.

Can you read? Where did I say anyone should pay for it? I said tuitions are too high.

Maybe that’s the way she was being steered. Kids are naive. Why are we ok with unnecessary loans being pushed on these kids to begin with?

Capitalism is great. There are suckers out there that if you work hard for them they will train you…and if you save, invest your money in tools you can then go out there and compete against them.

And again…

Wonder why noone is addressing this and attacking me instead?

Banks can’t loan money for free and stay in business.

33

I knew I had to pay any money(with interest) I borrowed back and did so.

I bet you did too.

34

They aren’t loaning for free. We are. The government backs these loans. Why are we, the taxpayers, securing loans for private banks?

Ever stop to think if these loans weren’t backed by the government banks might not give so many out or give out ones that are unnecessary? Weird concept, I know.

Damned straight and my student loans were at 10 and 12.5% rates.

36

If goverment didn’t back up those loans bankers wouldn’t be making em…high risk.

37

No, “we” aren’t loaning the money, the banks are. Banks have operating costs and have to turn a profit to stay in business.

38

Oh they’d make loans for sure but they’d be at market rates and the qualifying criteria would be much tighter.

I had no student loans but have paid off mortgages on 3 different houses along the way.

Kind of nice to be mortgage free once you pay the bank off.

Exactly. Yet they still charge interest on these guaranteed loans. Which they give out to pretty much anyone because there’s no risk for them in doing so. Think that might have something to do with the costs going up?
