    I’m 37 and paid off all of my ~80k in student loans (for a communications degree) since my 2009 graduation earlier this year… How the hell does this person still owe so much on their student loans?

    I think the best course of action is arranged marriages. It’s just a little bit of paperwork, but then you can separate your finances from your parents. And you may qualify for grants with that low household income.
