Not from the USA… what’s the interest rate on student loans? I mean, if you can afford a mortgage and to put money aside (article is about seniors, so not people purchasing a home now), how come you’re unable to reimburse your debt?
It’s outrageous. My employer pays around $1,200 per month for my insurance. I pay another $400 per month. Then I pay for all medical services until I’ve spent $6,000 - on service - monthly premium payments don’t count. Then insurance covers 80% of medical expenses after that. Unless we’re talking about my kids. I have to spend $16,000 out of pocket before insurance starts to pay for their stuff.

What makes you think they own a home? A ton of seniors live in rent controlled places and still barely get by.
The interest rate on my federal direct student loans is 6.8% on half of them (undergrad) and ~9% on the other half (graduate), iirc.
God damn fuck that’s ridiculous
Wait till you see how much we spend on healthcare.
Oh I know, per capita more than double the next first world nation and that doesn’t count private insurance.

Most of these people don’t own homes. That would be weird.
