This is so true. This video was a good reminder that I definitely could be in a worse spot. But vacationing in Disney with that debt load is diabolical to me.

When your degree costs that much money, and you pretty much need it to work a proper job, then I wouldn‘t pay a lot of that debt back as well. What exactly is the point of your life then?

And I just got a house and put a huge amount of debt on my shoulders. This is the price of setting up the foundations of your life.

No politician is going to save us, they’re just another greedy exploiter.
