Here's an article on it: www.cnbc.com/2021/02/12/meet-the-student-loan-borrowers-who-are-refusing-to-pay-their-debt.html
I'm sympathetic. To an extent. But look at this:
You're 41 and you're just now trying to understand? And what's with the "trying"? Between your college degree, the loan statements, and Google, you can't figure out how interest works?
Our communities are struggling in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Millions of us are facing eviction and food insecurity, while suffering from exploding medical costs, rising tuition, unpayable bills and the perpetual fear of illness.
Joe Biden and his administration need to act immediately and #CancelStudentDebt within the first 100 days of his Presidency -- ALL of it.
And we're going to make him do it.

Fabares has now joined the Biden Jubilee 100, a group of 100 student loan borrowers who have stopped paying their debt.

Sanders Fabares felt that something wasn’t working.
Even after years of paying $1,000 a month toward his student loans and his wife’s, their balance hadn’t decreased by much. They still owed around $80,000, down from the $90,000 they’d originally borrowed.
“I started trying to understand what we were doing wrong,” Fabares, 41, said.
