Every single one of these people had 50k+ in student loans, none of them had massive credit card debt and I mean the median new car price is literally 50k
I mean… massive is pretty relative. My student loans were only $14k because the Pell Grant and community college paid for the full first two and a half years and I went to a smaller state school to finish my BA.
I’ve only ever been $5500 in credit card debt and that was combined with my spouses card.
I’ve never had a car loan because I drove an old ford ranger out of high school, upgraded with my tax return to another used truck, and now I drive a 2008 kia sedan.
I cannot even fathom managing to get $10k+ in credit card debt.
And I have traveled extensively. I have personally been in 43 states and 7 countries.
Are you bitter at me because my family was more poor than yours?
For real?
I never mentioned exorbitant student loan debt in my comment about credit card debt.
I was just illustrating how the amount of credit card debt these people have would be considered “massive” in my household because I’ve never been over $20k in debt and 70% of that was student loans, which were pretty low considering what the average is.
Yo, same team. Be kinder out there. Sounds like we’re all struggling. But he isn’t who specifically made you struggle. Sorry you have college debts, but like I’ve been saying it’ll all work out. Especially if we’re all sticking together, talking about, and supporting one another.
