Hmm. That sucks, I guess my kids and I don't benefit from any student loan paydown.

My daughter just told me that the loan repays will only be for Federal loan programs.

We took ours out from the State of NJ's HESAA program, because the Federal loans we were offered were through some shady third-party lenders, who would be managing them. You know, those lending institutions that are a bit fugazi.

We had smaller Stafford loans and paid those off first.

One of my daughter's friends just refinanced $100K worth of loans and now won't be eligible.

1. What paydown? I missed something I guess.

4. Up to $10K in student loan debt relief.

.

Two of my kids won't qualify, the other we are paying direct with home equity and work/pension loans.

3. Its going to be a contentious subject I think

I'm not against the idea but I think many who struggled and sacrificed will resent it.

7. I agree! What about people who just paid it off? Nt

5. I paid all my kids loans and..

I won’t be getting any of that back. But you know what? I’m just glad that a bunch of kids and their parents will get the burden lifted from their shoulders. So, tough for us. Good for many.

8. Oh, same here. I don't want to see others go through the struggle and hell I am.

.

That's why I'm not really angry, just more of a "Typical, We Missed Out Again" reaction.
