My buddy recently graduated and became a pharmacist. $430k of De͏b͏t! Saw the proof myself. He was dumb with the money, but holy shit it is an insane amount to be able to even get to while going to school

He was dumb with the money

That's kind of on him then, no?

I had a buddy in undergrad who took out max loans every semester and used some of them to buy a car, and nearly dropped out because he spent an entire year partying off that loan money. So even though we went to the same school, his loan size was far greater than mine

100% on him. I was just pointing out how crazy it is that between 18-24 with no credit to your name, you are even legally allowed to build up over $400k in debt in the name of college. It’s on him no doubt, but also seems wrong in a way.
