Another option, if you are in forbearance, is to put that money towards other debt like credit cards, which may be much higher than your student loan interest. Pay off the most expensive debt first.

Ta, Dok. My higher education was almost all self-administered, so I have no student loans to repay. I did go to holistic health school and paid for it. I did borrow some money to do so, and paid it all back. However, I do believe the SAVE act should be saved.

Nah, snakes are expensive, and bulky. Scorpions, on the other hand...

Also if you die, they get no more money from you.

They want to bleed you dry figuratively, not literally.

At the University of Oslo, there is no tuition fee except a small semester fee of NOK(600) (US$74).

Sweden, until the early 21st century, provided free education to foreign students but recently introduced fees for students from outside the European community.

Denmark also has universal free education, and provides a monthly stipend, the "Statens Uddannelsesstøtte" to students.

Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Uruguay provide free education at all levels, including college and university for citizens.

Republicans are punishing people for getting an education. Can't have critical thinkers running around and refusing to swallow horseshit, y'know

Well, you can't let the Dems get away with portraying college graduates, scientists, and teachers as "middle class," just because they are, by any definition of the term, instead of "snooty coastal elitists."
