lol. buying a house? having kids? I can barely afford to EAT, let alone bring another person into the world.
And yet both legacy and new media unironically tells you to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps
like the rich dude who said he could make $1M in one year, starting from homelessness. He cheated, and he still only made $60K
Many couples are putting off marriage because they both have student loans, and they don't want to make their credit even worse.
Worse, one might have loans, but not the other. Would you want to marry someone knowing you have to take on $100K in debt?
