Like I said before... Do your homework Sherlock. It has gotten to the point that half the country is populated by adults who cannot afford to pay back their exorbitant loans + fees. Since the government took over, it has risen 80% in costs, as I said before. What part about this do you not understand?<br /><br />Watch the CNBC Report on this here:<br /><br />http://www.cnbc.com/id/39911910/<br /><br />I cannot explain it any better than this report does.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Snooty Primadonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023417839687501752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734216381949554441.post-60249827368995100732011-01-04T23:12:45.539-06:002011-01-04T23:12:45.539-06:00Are you aware that this issue is precisely why the...Are you aware that this issue is precisely <b><i>why</i></b> the government took over the student loan industry? During the Bush administration, regulations on the financial industry were lifted. Wall street, housing mortgages, and student loan companies were all given carte-Blanche to rip you off any way they could.<br /><br />The new student loan reform ensures that interest rates will remain low. Students won't be given loans that they can't afford to pay back. And after graduation, loan payments can be adjusted to be based on your income, so you pay less each month. Also, any remaining dept will be forgiven after 25 years.<br /><br />So, future students will be in a much better situation. Now, if only I can get my $140,000 of Sallie Mae loans reduced a little...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462745656280363368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734216381949554441.post-49763700332708374892010-12-29T19:32:54.084-06:002010-12-29T19:32:54.084-06:00Let's hope your kiddos live long and highly su...Let's hope your kiddos live long and highly successful lives so you and Mr. Snoots can climb off that giant ass hook you're on.<br /><br />We got lucky and only had to pony up money for Amanda's first year. Since that she's always gotten grants and scholarships; so she won't have any debt when she graduates.

On my dime. I yanked his sorry C- self to Tech....where his mother could pay in state fees. I now have my own twins in a private school and a high level state school (not our state) I so feel your pain. Tuna casserole anyone? Let's hope we're making the right investments we set out to make when we had them!!!!

All three of my girls earned it and kept it and their college educations cost us, their proud parents, next to nothing. (Except for the one year our middle daughter went to Clemson as a freshman, out of state, to the tune of 18K+ that year. Somehow we came up with that $$). <br />I feel very fortunate to have all 3 kids, graduated and working, with no student debt. <br />Come on y'all, looks like you need to move to Georgia!
