> when payments were paused, he and his wife would buy lunch someplace close to work, or indulge in a starbucks coffee. hes already cut out less-used streaming services. such spending is hard to justify now that hes once again chipping away at the school loans hes been saddled with since 2011, when he graduated from an mba program with about $32,000 of debt. he made steady payments until the pandemic pause. > he recognizes that a monthly bill of around $325 isnt as bad as what other borrowers face. $10.65 a day would've let him double his usual $325 monthly payments. over the course of the 44 month payment pause, his $650 monthly payments would've paid down $28,600 of his debt. he'd almost be out of the woods. he chose not to because treating himself to pret and starbucks felt good. as always, these people are fucking morons who refuse to take responsibility for themselves. this is an overgrown baby with no discipline who's hoping one day the adult in the room will just make all his problems go away. the long and short of it is that they're operating on "some other random nigger" logic. they don't identify with the person that took out that loan and don't see why they should have to pay for it, even though they reap the benefits of what that loan bought on a daily basis.
