Re: [MBZ] booting off of a usb flash drive - Now Tuition
You're telling me...my grace period just ran out, and I'm staring at nearly $40k of Stafford loans. if it's any consolation, the interest is deductible. I'm paying mine off early, but every little bit helps. Ouch. Thank goodness you can do graduated payments. If I had to pony up nearly $400/month right now I would be hurting. At least they tightened things up so that nothing short of death can get you out of paying off your loans Dan --- Mitch Haley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Peter Frederick wrote: Indiana University was $369 fees and tuition in 1975, for 12-18 hrs of classes. Way more than that now, things are crazy. Unintended consequences. Offer subsidized student loans, and tuition will increase to the total of what the parents can pay plus what they can borrow. I think in the long run federal aid does nothing to make education more affordable, just makes federal taxes less affordable. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

In the beginning, student debt had no special status in bankruptcy, so all the smart JDs, and the MDs who were smart enought to consult with JDs or CPAs, got their chapter 7s with their diplomas. After all, how many graduate students have non-exempt assets? It didn't take them long to make student debt non-dischargable for seven years after the loans went into repayment. That, IMO, was a good way to handle it, especially now that we have limits on who can file ch7. If we could combine the pre '98 rules for student loan discharge with the post '05 rules for filing bankruptcy, I think it would be workable. Under the current system, you can prove permanent and total disability to the satisfaction of the Social Security Administration and still not be able to get your student loans forgiven.
