1/3 #EstablishmentJoe is the reason my sis can't retire. After her spouse left her w children & no income she used her bootstraps & student loans, studied hard, got straight As, became a teacher. A few yrs later her town laid off several teachers at start of school yr,
2/3 too late to get a job. Struggled to keep the house, feed the kids w/ unstable income from subbing whenever she could get it. Ended up filing bankruptcy, couldn't discharge student loans: instead they add 30% to principal and lock in at 10% interest. 35 yrs later,
3/3 she's paid the principal back a few times over. But still owes and has to work at least until she's 72 before the loans are paid off in full. #ThankYou #EstablishmentJoe for making a hard life much, much harder just so your banking friends could buy another yacht.
