Welcome

So… you found this site…

which means you’re probably having trouble with your student loans.  If you’re like the rest of us you’re feeling helpless, out of control, and worried that your loans will last forever.  It’s a feeling similar to the feeling one gets when they think of death and its absolute inevitability.  They took advantage of you when you were an under-educated teenager with dreams of conquering the world.  “It doesn’t matter how much I borrow, I’ll be making six figures after I get my degree!,” you think to yourself, “besides, mom and dad always placed a very high importance on getting an education.”

Or maybe that’s not your story.  Maybe you’re one of the lucky few who is looking for advice before taking out a student loan.  Maybe you’re looking to make an educated decision before you get your “on-paper” education.  Sadly it isn’t likely.

No matter what your student loan story is, this site is meant to become a resource for those individuals in need.  You will find advice from actual borrowers, hear stories of how bad student loan debt can affect a family, learn the basics of interest, be provided an outlet to vent your frustrations, hear other people’s brainstorming on how to fix the problem and more.

The ultimate goal is to provide those with student loans with some sort of relief, even if the only help available is realizing you are not alone.  And the second goal is to caution those who are considering student loans and provide them with information on the real dangers of the most toxic form of modern-day debt.
