(I am sitting in the lobby of the state university I attend when I overhear this conversation:)
Man: “I have so much debt. I don’t know what I’m going to do. My students loans are going to kill me.”
Woman: “Why don’t you transfer to [Nearby Private University that is four times more expensive]?
Man: “I’ll look into it. I have to figure out what I’m going to do about this. I have my mortgage, my student loans, and a bunch of credit card debt. I only make six figures a year.”
(ONLY six figures?!)
