Wall Street: HELP HELP WE'RE GOING TO DIE WE NEED MONEY
Government: Ok, here's 700 billion

Government: *laughs in capitalism*

It seems that Boomers who boast about “starting with nothing” don’t understand that starting adulthood with nearly $40k in student loan debt isn’t the same as starting with nothing. #latestagecapitalism

I graduated from law school 6 years ago with $250,000 of student loan debt. But after years of hard work and tens of thousands of dollars of payments, I can officially say that I now owe $315,000.

Hooray!

Since 1987 when adjusting for inflation, the % increase in:

➡️ Tuition costs at public universities : 183%
➡️ Tuition costs at private universities: 142%
➡️ Minimum wage: 20%
➡️ Early career salaries: 3%

This is student debt crisis in a nutshell.

At the age 18 they will let you commit to $200,000 in student loans but won’t give you a $20,000 Business loan…. Think about that!

Millennials:

– Fighting wars in the Middle East for 18+ years
– Came of age during the worst financial crisis since Great Depression
– Student debt up to our eyeballs
– Health insurance that doesn't cover shit

And all we get for our troubles is everyone mad at us about avocados

I graduated undergrad with $38,200 in loans.
To date I've paid $20,763.
My balance is: $37,615.
Dear Media: Tell me again how I can't afford a house because of an avocado toast trend instead of saying how #StudentLoans are a fucking trap that keeps ppl in debt.

I graduated with a masters of Architecture in 2011 with $65k in student debt. I have paid $48k, but still have $50k of debt left.

This country needs Architects, doctors, lawyers and engineers, but we are punished for success. Our education system is broke. #StudentDebtCrisis

Want to know just how big our #studentdebtcrisis is?

US college grads have $1.56 TRILLION in student debt. The GDP of Australia is $1.4 trillion.

It’s F’ing massive. Our young people deserve better from us — they deserve free college.
