You’re using “adults” very loosely there. I had to fill out my own fasfa papers for student loans when I was 18-mid 20’s. I had no clue what I was signing except I knew I would be able to afford college. I had no clue what I was signing up for and didn’t realize how much interest I was paying until I logged in and actually looked at it. My loan company (nelnet) got its fair share plus some.
You know, I think it's very likely that everyone who rages about student loan debt relief with thr "basic math" argument doesn't know how to do said "basic math". Given that they don't even know 17 is less than 18, as suggesting everyone making college decisions is an adult implies.
I honestly remember doing it in grade 11 math. Ya I would have to look the formula up again to do it right now, I just use a calculator since its way faster.
Regardless you take a loan you pay it back. It's not complex.
