wearethe99percent:

I am 27. I have 5 degrees but 0 debt. Total debt from my degrees was $17k (with a few hundred thousand dollars of scholarships), which I paid off before any interest was due! I don’t understand how people can have such huge student loans. If I didn’t get the scholarships I wouldn’t have gone. Please, those still in high school or undergrad - think it through before you choose more school. Predatory lenders are trying to scam you!
With an income of over $150k, I still fall in the 99% (I, too, am part of what the 99% looks like! Use different numbers if you want to represent different people. Clearly, I am well-off but “only” in the top 10%, not 1% or even 5%).
I am the 99%, but living very well.

FU to anyone who assumes I must’ve come from a wealthy or stable family. You don’t know shit about my broken, poor family or the fact I was homeless in my last year of high school. But student loans are a bad deal. Lenders are preying on naivety and over-optimism.
