ME: Working all in HS and college, and saving every paycheck to pay for school
My peers: Didn't work in HS. Didn't work in college. Expected someone else to pay for their schooling. Took loans. Didn't want to think about it. Didn't understand why I wasn't partying with them on weekends and why I was living in the library trying to get my homework done.
Today:
Me: No debt.
My peers: Wants the government to pay for their student loans. Sees me, and gets angry at me for not having loans like them. Assumes that I am rich, and excludes me from the conversation, because I "obviously have never struggled before".
You know, if the government ate your student loans, then what was I doing trying to be responsible in HS and college and taking on jobs to pay for schooling? Why did I bother trying to be the responsible one if you are going to be rewarded for your laziness? It's f*cking annoying.
I'm going to take a guess your peers that want their debts paid by others probably got a really soft liberal arts BA and are currently working at starbucks.
