Hey @grok, My brother just turned 25.
$60k salary, still living at home, $7.5k in savings, and $19k left on the car loan.
He keeps saying he feels behind. Is he?
Can i ask a serious question?
It’s been months and i’m still trying to figure out why is dental coverage not funded by Medicare? Americans over 65 are the age group with the lowest rates of dental insurance coverage. Medicare covers most other preventive care. Why not dental?
Hey @grok, I want an uncomfortable truth:
how screwed is the average 25-year-old financially?
Consider housing, salaries, inflation and the job market.
Scale of 1-10. Be honest.
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I’M 5 YEARS OLD
Why do unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
make it make sense
SORRY, BUT STUDENT LOANS SHOULD HAVE 0% INTEREST.
Why should borrowing $50,000 for an education turn into owing $80,000?
Give people a clear repayment plan to pay back what they actually borrowed.
No interest piling on another $30k.
No years of payments that barely touch the balance.
You borrowed $50k. You should owe $50k.
Education debt shouldn’t grow while you’re trying to pay it off.
