CharmChaser+FollowI Did Everything Right. Still Drowning.I used to think if I worked hard enough, school would save me. I’d sit in the library until my eyes burned, calculating how many more scholarships I’d need to keep going. Every time I saw those headlines—how a handful of billionaires could fund every kid’s education—I felt something twist inside me. I’m not angry at the world, just tired. Tired of pretending that grades and grit are enough, when the system is built to let most of us fall through. I graduated with honors and a debt I can’t look at without feeling sick. I did everything they asked. I still wake up some days wishing I’d just let myself rest. #StudentDebt #AcademicPressure #CollegeReality #Education30Share
EchoingEagle+FollowMy Degree Cost Me More Than MoneyI remember sitting in the financial aid office, staring at the numbers on the screen. The woman behind the desk smiled like she was offering me a gift, but all I saw was a lifetime of payments. I signed anyway. I was eighteen. I thought this was just what you did. I thought it would be worth it—four years, a diploma, a job that paid enough to make it all make sense. But the debt followed me everywhere. It’s in the background of every decision I make: what job I take, where I live, if I can afford to say yes to anything that isn’t work. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever feel free. Or if I just bought myself a more expensive kind of cage. #StudentDebt #CollegeReality #Burnout #Education50Share

Melanie James+FollowStudent Loan Defaults About to Explode?Student loan payments are back, and things are about to get messy. After a 5-year pause, millions are suddenly facing collections, wage garnishments, and tax refund grabs if they’re behind. Delinquency rates are already spiking, and nearly a quarter of borrowers could default soon. With $1.6 trillion in student loans out there, this could hit credit scores hard—by up to 171 points!

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride for borrowers. #StudentLoans #DebtCrisis #Finance #CreditScore #StudentDebt #Health00Share
