…kind of a bummer that I can’t tell anyone in my family because half of them (including my parents) will look at me like an ATM whose job it is to set myself on fire in order to keep them warm.

    Yep, that’s why I bit the bullet and did the bulk payment on mine when I had the chance instead of reinvesting or spending the money elsewhere. They’re structured in such a predatory way that, to me, it made sense to be rid of it.

    I’m sorry to hear you’re stuck with them for a while. I was too.

      I would love to do that too, but im not able to save up enough for any of them. I looked into bankruptcy and that wouldnt resolve them. My best bet is for the world to end. I can’t even unalive myself to get rid of them since the big ones have cosigners.

        Yeah. :(

        I was in that position until March 2020. It’s awful and I wish we had the power to change it.
