      My genx Brother in Law loves to bring up how he had to pay for college working a pressure washing and catering job. So that’s two part-time jobs. 🙄 Of course the idea of student loan forgiveness is outrageous to him.

          I don’t understand why they bailed out the banks in '08, it wasn’t fair to citizens who were in debt because their houses were underwater, just not fair at all.

        I am also Gen X with 2 teenagers. My college tuition was roughly $3-5k per year. For my kids, college tuition will be $9k/year. I have no problem with student loan forgiveness. College tuition has gotten out of control and student loans are holding younger generations back.

          I am also genX and my tuition at a shit-tier school out west was 15k/year in 2003. After losing everything in a messy divorce my 45k owed became 70k over night (I lost all my bursaries and scholarships when I left school 2 weeks early).
