Where’s MY relief?!
There’s upteen MILLION people comin out the wood works to promote credit card debt relief which is all fine and dandy but what about us motherfuckers with Student Loan debt?!
I went to a private school for the one on one support and elevated learning status to get a good, high paying job. While I was in college, the job market crashed. Big time. So I get out and can’t find a job but I have this HUGE amount of debt over my head while I’m boppin around my parents house tryin to find a job ANYWHERE.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
I didn’t get stuck under bills I couldn’t afford! I didn’t live outside my means! I was frugal! I had to, I was in college. So where the fuck is MY relief?!
Suuuure there’s the “only pay 10% of your income” based law…but that’s only for federal loans, many of which I didn’t qualify for. I have private meaning that a) there is NO relief program for me b) I will probably be in debt for the rest of my life. c) Even if I file for bankruptcy my loans will not be forgiven.
To add to that why the HELL does my parents income determine MY eligibility to receive financial aid?! They’re not paying back my damn loans! So what they make more than $100,000 a year…I ain’t gettin any of that! They have a house and two cars to worry about, not adding on MY issues!
I shouldn’t have to work the corner AND the pole just to pay for a piece of paper that says I’m smart enough to not fuck it up.
SO HEY GOVERNMENT…UH….WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THIS SHIT?
I know it’s got to be frustrating, putting in all that money and hard work just to realize it’s hard to get a job at the local McDonald’s let alone what you’ve been training for. It’s hard to let financial issues not bother you, but things will get better.. eventually. Until then, just keep trying and move through life one day at a time. The situation is unfortunately out of your hands and sometimes settling for what you can get instead of stressing about what you can’t have is the best thing to do. It’s just a bump in the road.
Good luck.
