It took 10 years, three ex’s, two countries, and living with my mother for a bit, but I finally paid it all off.

Ask me how I feel. The guy who took my final payment on the phone was happier than I was

    I remember when I was in college and they specifically took us to another campus, they were talking to us about university. It was basically sold to us as if “it’s practically a free loan, you’d be silly not to get it.”

    We were all around the age of 17/18. If a bank or any other service had done that to us there would have probably been massive repercussions, maybe there would have been something brought up about us being miss-sold a product.

    Looking back I feel it was very predatory given we were so young and essentially in a vulnerable state while trying to decide our futures.
