i like to think of the student loan "bubble" as more of a giant rolling boulder trap that the majority of an entire generation is desperately trying to run away from

what happens at the end tho? it's just written off and the people that actually paid their loans are told to pound sand?

I'm not trying to beat you up over this, but I think we're both coming at this from very different perspectives

For me, someone trying to pay a loan with 4% interest that they absolutely can never run away from is scarier than someone who is looking at 4% interest in their house that they can discharge

The problem is generally that those people in default don't get to invest any money into anything else, and if they ever want to try and catch up they will find that their problem has vastly accumulated

There's absolutely no way of getting out of student debt, and there's monthly interest on thousands of dollars

No poo poo. Unless I'm unaware of something uniquely British they're renting. Who gives a drat about property values when you're renting?

(And yes, I'm well aware that "driving down property values" is code for "Brown people in a white neighborhood," but they could at least try a logically consistent argument)
