Boy you guys talk so much about student debt that I’m very thankful to not have it
Mine is debt owed to family
Continue to be thankful. I made some boneheaded choices in college which resulted in my throwing away a full ride, and I left school with like 80k in debt. Thankfully, I am much more fiscally responsible than I was academically responsible, and I managed to pay that off over the course of like 7 years (aided in no small part by the forbearance periods Biden forced through during COVID). Which is good, because more boneheaded choices were made which resulted in a significant change to my financial situation. If I were still making payments at this juncture, I would be in a position where I’d be moving back into mom’s basement just to make ends meet.
Not that there is anything inherently shameful in that (it’s fucking hard out here, and if that’s a resource that you have available, it should not be turned away simply because of pride), but it does cause me to wake every morning pleased I didn’t listen to any “financial gurus” out there who talk about shit like “good debt”.
No joke. I just went to a in state university, of which I had a few very good ones to choose from, and the state paid my tuition and I was able to pay rent working part time.
I often forget a lot of people around me are sitting on like $40k of debt because their state didn’t do lottery scholarships or they just wanted to go out of state, sometimes just to get “The College Experience”.
Was this an actual real post or satire?
I genuinely have no clue.
I think it’s just an advertisement for Snickers. Gross.
The sign of a successful ad campaign is when the campaign itself gets satirized to continue to build on brand awareness.
Welcome to the 2024. This year’s presidential election will have exclusive live coverage on election night, from your official election coverage team…The Onion. No word on if they’ll still deal in satire on the night, but it is confirmed that it will be absurd.
I would absolutely love for this to happen
Honestly, I always need a Snickers. God damn.
Yeah, low blood sugar does that… wars and shit.
Because when you’re down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.
Treat yourself to even more problems!
Nihilist Arby’s all over again.
Lace it with LSD and it’ll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.
I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.
But I haven’t had a source for LSD in 2 years now 😭
Hmmmmm. I should try drugs.
Try a lot of some drugs, a little of others, and none of bath salts.
Drugs are pretty great.
DARE to try interesting drugs
Older and even more broken than all that.
I’m 42 and my uni debt was about 15k GBP, down to a couple of grand now as I’ve just been paying interest until the last 5 years when I landed a good job and started clearing it. Out of interest, what was the amount you owed in your country when you finished, and what do you owe now at your current age?
Now you’ll have diabetes, if nothing else.
“Ha, ha! Look at that guy! He ate a candy bar, now he’s gonna die the fat death.”
Go boof some kale, or something.
Go eat a tub of butter, or something.
Maybe…
