What are your thoughts on student loan forgivness?

I guess the thing is that if someone loans you money, you should pay it back. It's only fair, right? That's the purpose of a mortgage, for example.

@2ndtimeguy When did your uncle do that ? Was it this century ? I worked part time jobs plus I had parents who were able to fund my college education—in the 1970s, when it wasn’t as expensive. Things are really different now. My niece is at Stanford now. With a scholarship and her uncle, other aunt and I helping, she might be free and clear when she graduates in 2023.

@bijouxbroussard My parents were able to help me out with college back in the 90s. I doubt they would be able to now.
