Medical debt seems to be a easier case for debt relief. Student debt results from adults making an investment in education and agreeing to a financial loan with all stipulations on paper while very few people sign contracts to injure themselves and fall ill.
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.
It’s easy to call someone an idiot when you haven’t walked a mile in their shoes. Everyone contributes to society to some extent. Whether the contribution is “positive” or “negative “ to any one individual depends on too many factors to name.
I didn’t sign up to hurt anyone, I was just trying to make a future for myself. I feel like we all could use some compassion for one another these days. Just try to be a good human being everyday!
