President Joe Biden on Tuesday launched a promotional blitz for his new program that helps student loan borrowers repay their debt, just weeks before millions of Americans are set to receive a loan bill for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Biden administration is mobilizing to convince borrowers across the country to sign up for the new income-driven repayment program — dubbed the “SAVE plan” — which caps interest accrual and lowers the monthly payment amount for many borrowers.
“It’s the most affordable student loan plan ever,” Biden said in a video released by the White House on Tuesday, describing the program as a major reform to a student loan system “that hurt borrowers for much too long.”
“If you’re eligible for the SAVE Plan, sign up now so you can lower your monthly payments in advance of payments resuming this fall,” Biden said.
Sounds like you have plenty of money but only pay the minimum payments on her loans, which is a questionable choice at best.
It may sound like that, but that would be false. We live paycheck-to-paycheck like a majority of Americans.
We pay what we can afford to pay.
Believe it or not, people who grow up with wealthy parents aren’t necessarily wealthy themselves.

I never said I was poor. But going into more debt would make us poor.
I’m certainly not upper middle class.

Nowadays? We bought it 10 years ago. In a depressed small city with high unemployment. It’s also only worth about $200,000. You know how low that is for a house right now?
Maybe don’t make assumptions.

$175,000. So clearly it’s a luxury mansion. Jesus fucking Christ.
