My wife finished her Master's Degree in 1995. Today - we made the last payment on her student loan. We're both 68 years old.
@paxterrarum Well congratulations, kind of.
28 years of debt for an education is insane!
@paxterrarum celebrate!
@paxterrarum My dad did that as well for his medical school - served as a Navy doctor (Lt.Cmdr) in San Diego taking care of folks coming back from Korea. Such a wonderful program❤️
@paxterrarum holy f’’in sh*t!!!
Congratulations! 🥳
@paxterrarum holy cow...we have to do better
CmBelated congratulations to your wife. Earning a Master’s is a big accomplishment. I’m just sorry it was so expensive.
@paxterrarum That is crazy. But, I am glad to hear you are now paid off.
@paxterrarum Major congratulations! It's infuriating that it has taken so many years. I still have a long way to go 😭
@paxterrarum congratulations - that sucker should have never needed to be a loan. I wish they would just cancel the remainder of all debt still outstanding.
@paxterrarum An all too common story. (Congratulations!)
@paxterrarum well done… sorry it took so long..
Absolutely despicable.
My own experience was entirely different. I spent six years in the US Navy prior to going to college. I went through college on the GI Bill. When I walked across the stage and received my diploma, my degree was already 100% paid for.
