>Nearly half of millennials said the biggest mistake they made with student loans is thinking their starting salaries would cover their monthly payments, a new study shows
Nearly half of millennials said the biggest mistake they made with student loans is listening to the recruiters who said their salaries would easily cover their monthly payments.
My snarky ass editorializing of the title aside, I would be curious how much is from genuine misconception/underestimating payments, or are they being encouraged/misinformed by those who want to keep the seats filled in their schools?
Millenials == millennials. Let's see how that generation goes. Raise your Avocados. Make sure they cost alot. I am symphatetical, though, but this seems to be the first most naive generation since the stone age. Excuse my subjectivity. I really feel for and with them of course. You could write a book. What a generation. Has to go into history.
Already downvoted by a millennial who is in some kind of default crisis. If you are a millennial then all problems come by default. Must be good to be so hive mindedly lemming as those hopeless skits are. Good luck. A rope is cheaper
Millennials are the rhyming tricks of the world. Truck millennials, they can't afford the fare. Great generation. Hard coded that they're going to bell.
What I find amazing is that the younger generation has the entirety of the internet and all of human knowledge literally at their fingertips. The younger generation still seem to be oblivious to how the world actually works and runs, despite having the resources to achieve anything they want if they put their mind to it.
Granted there are those young kids who are exceptional and have created companies and new inventions at a very young age with the help of technology, but taken at a broad scale I personally feel they are extremely naive as well, especially when you account for what information they have access to.
Between inflation, lack of jobs, jobs that pay a decent wage and the 4% interest rate Congress sets does not help the borrower. Why is America making a profit off student loans? The dems want to pay back student loan debt, but who's pays for that? It's not fair for others to pay for my loan when I got it. I'm still paying for a degree that never helped me for a college that no longer exists. How is that fair? I'm not eligible to get my loans discharged either as I went to college too long ago.
