I borrowed $38,876 for school from one private lender. Since graduating, I’ve paid that lender $31,501. How much do I still owe them?
$47,023
$47,023
These are not my only loans, just the dumbest and highest-interest loans. The *current* cost of tuition at the University of Kansas is $10,092 a year so wealthier families will actually pay a tiny fraction of what I will have paid for the same education.
So anyway everyone please remember that student loan debt is a structural problem, not a personal problem, and that usury is a sin. And Rock Chalk.
BY THE WAY, my “expected family contribution” based on my parents’ incomes and assets was $0.
And yes I went to a Title I school where adults were constantly telling us a college education was the only ticket out of poverty.
