Making matters worse, to pay for her master’s degree, James-Penny borrowed more than $140,000 and her monthly student loan payments top $400.

For an English degree? This is a loser. Wow!

Let’s see... 140k in student loans... making payments of 4800 bucks a year...

No wonder the Libtards want to drop the math reqt for college. Their own students would realize they’re innumerate morons.

Whoa, before I drown in sympathy tears, it should be noted that the federal government completely overhauled the student loan repayment system in 2010.

Everyone gets to go on income contingent payment plans, even if that means $5 per month on $300,000 debt.

It only makes sense if you can get the politics of it. The default rates were horrific, it reverberated. Then, presto! Loans are being taken out of default status left and right. Credit reports are clearing up, you can see where this is going.

Someone who is low income and homeless absolutely should be able to get not only income based repayment, but a hardship deferment.

How she could not know this is a mystery.

Life is tough. It’s even tougher when you’re stupid.
