Money: Forgive student debt now!

Forgive student debt now!

By DebtedToSociety - 07/06/2009 17:54 - United States

Today, I was watching a TV show about people with shopping addictions. One girl was $15,000 in debt and I thought how horrible it would be to live with that. Then I realized that I'm in medical school and currently $135,000 in debt. At least they have something to show for their debt. FML

Today, I heard on the news that the average debt one is in when they graduate college is $24,000. I've been in college for one year and my debt is already $20,000. And it turns out that my school's accreditation does not exist like I was told. $20,000 in debt and no college credits to show for it. FML

Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML

Today, I'm neck-deep in debt paying for med school. What's worse, the professors here are so terrible that even the morons on Yahoo Answers are 100 times better at explaining my coursework to me. FML

Today, I learned I have over $10,000 in debt, despite never owning a credit card. Apparently, my ex-roommate had been replying to the credit card offers I was receiving in the mail. That also explains my missing driver's license a few months back. FML

Today, I did the math: back at college in 2011, I had a $20,000+ reimbursement from my school. If I had invested even half my cash into Bitcoin then ($2.50), I would be worth over $120,000,000. Instead, I said, "Fuck that! This is stupid", and am now over $200,000 in student loan debt. FML

Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML

Today, I had to listen to fellow classmates whine about selling one of their many houses, while I can barely afford to pay for a $100 textbook. FML

Today, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML

At least you will have a good career once you are done with school!

"At least they have something to show for their debt"? What does that mean? In a few years you'll have a respectable career. A pile of shiny things won't help you earn money the same way a medical degree can.

Seriously, you're a moron, OP... Stop with the ******* pity fest. 135k in debt got you an education and a fantastic career that will make it possible for you to pay off that debt 5 times over in the first few years. Quit your bitching and be grateful you got into med school so you can do what you love. ******* A, people are killing themselves to get in and you're whining about not having anything to show for your debt.

In 5 years you'll have a career and they will be stuck working at McDonalds to pay off last seasons shoes that they already threw out. Intellect is better than any bargain bin purchase

.... what the ****? So this girl on TV is mentally unstable and materialistic with probably a lot of insanely unnecessary crap in her house (that's usually what shopping addicts buy), and YOU'RE going to be a doctor and will soon make enough to pay off your debt five times over, and you think SHE'S the one who has something to show for herself? Stop whining.

FML should have a site dedicated to med students. We have our own brand of humour that apparently isn't shared by others. Not to mention we check this site more often than we do our email, lol. Rossies: Good luck tomorrow on mini1! 4th semester Rossies: LAST first mini!

I'm going to be on the same boat as you in several years (premed major). I'm already in debt though due to mounting medical bills (the irony does not escape me). Yes, it sucks to be in debt, but you're going to have a career to show for it, so suck it up you ******* cry baby. You knew what you were getting yourself into. It's not the worst thing in the world either.
