Broke teacher
I owe 54,000 in student loans, which was my current salary last year. I am a single mother with a daughter attempting to go to college herself. We BOTH live with my mother because on that salary I cannot afford rent, food, electricity, car payment insurances etc etc. and student loans. At 45 I have come to the conclusion that I will never own a home if I continue to live in the United States and neither will my daughter. Saddled with student loan debt to make a less than adequate living is beyond stressful and I am very worried about my daughter as well. I have friends who are staying in school into their late thirties, just so they don’t have to start paying back the student loans, but they keep raising their debt…some into the hundred plus thousand dollar range. UNBELIEVABLE.
