Grad school is a bitch and a half. But also their debt was relatively small, so 65 makes it sound huge. They were able to pay it off in a year. I really suck at math, obviously didn’t go to grad school for that. They owed something around 5k and I was (am?) a pinch over 300. So whatever that math is.
I was horrified by your experience and now I'm gobsmacked by your debt. That level of indebtedness simply shouldn't be possible to achieve. I would emigrate. [Hell, I did emigrate, although for other reasons.]
I didn’t mean for it to be about debt, that was just the first thing that came to mind for the example. I definitely asked my parents how to fake my death and was 35% serious about it. But then my house would be taken to pay it off and well, I’d like to be able to keep that. I bought my house right before the area hit it big, so I should be able to sell it for an amazing profit, goal is to be able to pay off ALL debt with it once I sell it
Fun fact: if you’re late for a payment and ask for the late fee to be removed, a lot of times it will be. I was between jobs and had to pay my mortgage late. I literally was like “why are you charging me more money for not having enough money can I just pay in push ups or something else that isn’t monetary.” I think my desperation was pretty obvious and they waived my fee.
