It looks like my #studentloan payments just abruptly went up by $1,000/mo. again. So, I guess this will be three times I've had to re-apply for a IDR/SAVE plan with #MOHELA in the past 3 months.

@vwbusguy WTF ? are there fixed-interest loans ? I'm about to apply for one :(

@papa_robot It defaults back to a Standard Repayment if there's no other plan. MOHELA effectively just put me on the SAVE plan for about a month before sending a letter saying I am back on the default Standard Repayment but without saying why. Naturally, their website warns they are experience very high call volume right now.

@papa_robot I think it's genuinely hard for people who aren't dealing with student loans and PSLF to grasp just how incredibly broken this whole system is.

@vwbusguy @papa_robot I paid like 60 bucks per semester and I will pay like, 300 bucks to get my degree. I don't understand the US education system

@joel What does that have to do with america? You are literally paying a small fraction of what people pay in pretty much any country in the world, including most of europe.

@freemo hey, I don't know what triggered this kind of response?

It's over 10 PM, I just made a funny comment on this little corner of the internet and don't think much about things alright? Have a good night!

@joel Huh? "this kind of response"... what kind? Why would you have to think much about things... no one said you said anything morally wrong, what would you have had to think of?

@freemo alright I'll answer the original comment then.

It has nothing to do with the US, I live in Mexico and I just said what I paid for comparison. You say the US has cheap education too. Sure, I've never seen anyone comment how glad they are they took public cheap education in the US, only complaints and loans and whatever else, maybe I'm just not exposed to the right people or whatever, that's just what I've seen and if its a wrong viewpoint then let it be wrong

@joel

> that's just what I've seen and if its a wrong viewpoint then let it be wrong

That seems like an odd statement. Almost comes across that your offended because someone is correcting something. Nothing rude with correcting something.

@freemo its not that I don't want to be corrected its just that it doesn't concern me at all, if its true or not I already studied and I'm alright.

I could have never posted that comment, you could've never answered me and my life wouldn't really be affected

Seriously, I am just joking around don't take this that seriously xD

@joel I get that, I am just confused why if it simply didnt interest you you went through multiple messages now to point out it didnt interest you and then talked about it. Why do through all that trouble rather than just do what most people do when a discussion isnt interested for them... just dont join it.
