    thank you! Ive yet to hear a single story from anyone who’s actually defaulted and had wages garnished for student loans. Sure it can happen but its pretty rare.

      I’ve had two employees at my work get their wages garnished for defaulting on student loans. It definitely happens.

      Edit: One of the guys told me flat out that he will never willingly give a cent towards his student loans ever again. The other guy was going through some financial hardship after leaving here and we got a notice to garnish but he was no longer employed with us so we just had to respond back to the notice.

      Same- all threats, don’t know anyone actually being garnished.

      When my choice was pay loans or eat, i ate, and i sure af am not going to call someone and offer them money just because it got slightly better a couple years later. Ive never owned a new couch, i am not well off.

      If debtors prisons come back, I’m fucked, but until then, frankly, what can they do? I can’t afford a house or kids either way, and i am not throwing away anything on interest that will only grow and stress me out.

      I have no idea what i must owe now, over triple my salary, min.

      They sold a for-profit bullshit degree.

      Fuck em
