…you do realize that we also need to do that, right? If you’re in college without a job these days, you’re basically going to be in debt for the rest of your life. I’m in my 30’s, and I’m the only one of my friends to have paid off their loans, and it’s specifically because I got my first job on my 16th birthday, and have been working non-stop since then. And I still didn’t pay off my loans until I was 28. Sure, your generation specifically had to work a job for a year or two during high school to pay for college, but we have to that plus devote a significant part of our salary for the next decade in order to achieve the same result.
