    My genx Brother in Law loves to bring up how he had to pay for college working a pressure washing and catering job. So that’s two part-time jobs. 🙄 Of course the idea of student loan forgiveness is outrageous to him.

        I don’t understand why they bailed out the banks in '08, it wasn’t fair to citizens who were in debt because their houses were underwater, just not fair at all.

      I am also Gen X with 2 teenagers. My college tuition was roughly $3-5k per year. For my kids, college tuition will be $9k/year. I have no problem with student loan forgiveness. College tuition has gotten out of control and student loans are holding younger generations back.
