I’m such a fool. Always thought that it was the responsible thing to do. And gain personal satisfaction.
Nope. Now simply wait it out and let taxpayers pay some of it for you. Darn it.

Back in your day, college was much cheaper in comparison. You couls actually work part time and Summers and pay for college...
Today, you could work full time @ $10.00/hr and not make enough for 1 year's tuition and board at an "affordable" State School...
Now, that does not mean I'm in favor of this loan forgiveness. You took the loan, you should pay it back... But they could lower the interest rates and extend the payment plan time to make it more affordable.
I won't even get into the skyrocketing costs of tuition... That's another topic for another day...
