"Some 43 million Americans, she learned, collectively carry nearly $1.4 trillion in student debt, making it the second-largest source of household debt after home mortgages, according to the Federal Reserve. The federal government owns or backs more than 90 percent of it. More than 42 percent of federally owned student loans aren’t being repaid as expected or on time."
I know it's been posted before, but I guess my conspiracy theory is that this could affect PSLF. If/when the bubble pops could coincide conveniently when PSLF is going to start paying out...and they may cap it?
I personally will pay off my loans in the first year or two out of residency, I pray.
