Paying off 26K in student debt in 2 yrs: how one of us did it

[NZA]

Honestly, I've been doing a lot of research on higher education lately...

There's a lot of information.

One big area for concern stems around how underpaid numerous professors are. Rising tuition, has little effect on professors income. Consequently, there seems to be a trickle down effect on the quality of teacher.

For example: Here's a disgruntled tenured(full) professor at U of AZ @NZA

How can society sell higher education, as a "gateway" to the middle class, when numerous professors are suffering at securing their own fate.

Not to mention for grade inflation has been a cause for concern over the past few decades, especially at the ivy league universities and colleges...

i think the college boom will bust in a few years. i wont be surprised if there's going to be some political impact due to the loan defaults.

@She Agree That I'm Looney, I would definitely get that Panigale but like you said $25 stacks on a damn bike, I couldn't do it. But to tell you the truth something else that caught my eye besides the Panigale or 848 was that Diavel. That is probably one of the only cruisers that I would get. It's so wild looking, but it looks a little long but the shyt overall looks exotic. If I get everything paid off I could actually afford a Panigale but I wouldn't feel right spending that much. I could see buying a car, but not a bike. I would have to get it used. One thing that kept me from Ducati was the Maintenance. I don't know, but it would be nice.

The Diavel is sexy. Looks a lot better in person. Its a bit of an ornament though. If I get a Ducati I need the shyt to handle.

Another cruiser I like is that M90R. That shyt is MEAN. Again though, I like a nimble ride... car or bike. That shyt is like the 96 Impala SS of bikes.

Modern Duc maintenance isn't too bad though.

i think the college boom will bust in a few years. i wont be surprised if there's going to be some political impact due to the loan defaults.

Esp considering the laws concerning default. You fukk up on a student loan, they are coming for everything. No bankruptcy allowed.

Congrats to him. It's not easy to pay off that much money in a short time period. Stay vigilant to your goal and you can do anything.

Just off his first job at 13 an hour, I think I coulda paid that off in two years while skipping meals and being a total social reject. That's if I'm working full time and there's plenty of overtime opportunity

Man i gotta say god bless my parents for helping me out with undergrad, filling in the blanks where my scholarship came up short. Otherwise I'd be about this right now.

Time to save

Yale Suing Former Students: Pay Back Loans or Else

So they would rather give the money they got back to a lawyer than just eat the costs?

Or maybe they have Yale law students take the cases... to pay their tuitions
