So, story time.

I graduated in spring 2022 and was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in early 2023.

I have been struggling trying to get jobs, having my life blow up, and losing those jobs. I have genuinely been struggling with life in general and have had a deep pervasive depression throughout all of it.

That lead me to ignoring my student loans and the SAVE program entirely, because no interest was accruing and missed payments weren't counting against me. I let my depression take over and just ignored it all for almost two years.

The real fucked up thing?

I'm in a better position now because I never signed up for the plan. I've heard from the non-profit I turned to to help me figure out a deferral (cancer deferral is my best bet) that a lot of people who signed up for the SAVE Plan now have their loans in forbearance.

So being chronically depressed and missing the boat actually helped me not get fucked even harder by conservative ratfuckery.

Absolute fucking disgrace shit. Honestly, that includes Biden because he should have been smart enough to see this fucking happening. This shit is literally ruining people's lives and financial futures.

Biden fucked you so much more than you even realize. He was THE person that wrote the legislation which made student loans impossible to disburse in bankruptcy.

This was the reason I cast a vote for Rashida Tlaib in 2020.

If he were on fire, I wouldn’t even waste my piss on the actual person that took bribes in exchange for making the prime of my life into an inescapable debtor’s prison while simultaneously making it impossible for me to EVER own a home.
