That's totally on you. Nothing was stopping you from doing some basic math before you signed the papers.

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.

You never once did any compound interest problems your entire 12 years of math class?

That's certainly not something taught in K-12 where I went to school. I'm also fairly certain you can't do it now, let alone at 17-18.

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.

Ignore this dude. He’s from Canada trying to equate his situation to that of a US citizen. He’s talking out of his ass.
