Money: Forgive student debt now!

Forgive student debt now!

By DebtedToSociety - 07/06/2009 17:54 - United States

Today, I was watching a TV show about people with shopping addictions. One girl was $15,000 in debt and I thought how horrible it would be to live with that. Then I realized that I'm in medical school and currently $135,000 in debt. At least they have something to show for their debt. FML

Today, I heard on the news that the average debt one is in when they graduate college is $24,000. I've been in college for one year and my debt is already $20,000. And it turns out that my school's accreditation does not exist like I was told. $20,000 in debt and no college credits to show for it. FML

Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML

Today, I'm neck-deep in debt paying for med school. What's worse, the professors here are so terrible that even the morons on Yahoo Answers are 100 times better at explaining my coursework to me. FML

Today, I learned I have over $10,000 in debt, despite never owning a credit card. Apparently, my ex-roommate had been replying to the credit card offers I was receiving in the mail. That also explains my missing driver's license a few months back. FML

Today, I did the math: back at college in 2011, I had a $20,000+ reimbursement from my school. If I had invested even half my cash into Bitcoin then ($2.50), I would be worth over $120,000,000. Instead, I said, "Fuck that! This is stupid", and am now over $200,000 in student loan debt. FML

Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML

Today, I had to listen to fellow classmates whine about selling one of their many houses, while I can barely afford to pay for a $100 textbook. FML

Today, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML

At least you will have a good career once you are done with school!

"At least they have something to show for their debt"? What does that mean? In a few years you'll have a respectable career. A pile of shiny things won't help you earn money the same way a medical degree can.

The cost of entering any field might be immense but it pays off. Doing what you love best and getting good pay beats working at a factory all day and getting little money

That does not even make sense. You are the one who has something to show, a funckin degree! Geez. ..

Are you an idiot? Lets see who has something to show for it in 10 years - the woman who is perpetually going farther into debt, or the doctor who had low interest student loans but is making 6 figures now. My bet is on the doctor.

And the valuable degree and high-paying career you'll have once you're done doesn't count as "something to show for your debt"?

Dude your in medical school. Almost everyone on college is in debt. When your a doctor and saving lives, your gonna have more to show for your debt than a million dollar coach purse or gucci shoes

i only clicked you deserved it because you have to be kidding. the people who are $15,000 in debt because of shopping are PATHETIC. they have nothing to show for it. you on the other hand are actually doing something with your life. and you have nothing to show for it? maybe your the pathetic one....
