My biggest complaint in this (as a student loan borrower) is that they postponed this shit for years, and I didn’t make any payments during that time so I wouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get reimbursement if this forgiveness plan was actually implemented, so now instead of having interest-free payments going during this time, I’m going to have to start where I was in the beginning.
This could just be my own stupidity, but making a promise that would completely negate the need to make payments made me hold off on making payments.
I feel the same way. My job was exempt during the 2020 shutdowns, so I actually tried to resume my monthly payments. If I recall, I tried re-enabling automatic payments 3x, and they kept getting paused again. After manually making payments for a few months, I just gave up and decided to see how everything would pan out.
It’s like a microcosm of the forgiveness there. Other people still paying their loans would’ve had resentment towards people who stopped paying their loans and got bailed out.
