Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

If you aren't from the US, how was your higher education experience?

I hope my student loans are forgiven soon. My realtor friend alerted me to a nice lakeside property that I would love to snatch up before I tour Europe in the Fall.

Yeah lol people getting Pell Grants are getting multi-million dollar lakeside properties and touring Europe.

They’re totally not just scraping by while paying out the nose for everything - causing generations to be significantly behind in home ownership, accrued wealth, or raising families.

People (like you, not you specifically) on the right moan about demographic collapse while not doing a thing to fix the reasons people cannot afford children or to even keep a roof over their heads.
