  • You make a lot of good points I’m in agreement pretty much all of it.

    I also know we’re on a doomed planet. Better put, we’re on a planet that’s heading for difficult conditions for humans for the next several hundred years at least.

    I’m 30 years rn. I still plan on having kids. We’re all going to die one day and honestly just the thought of blinking out of existence including me and my family and everybody in existence ever ( slowly, over the passage of time ofc ) scares me but we all know it’s coming…

    Where am I going with this? I think it’s important to retain some sense of positivity as much as possible.

    We’re all going to die so I guess I’ll just live well until I’m dead. Part of that for me at least includes believing that somehow someway were going to fix this problem.

    It’s a lot of copium tbh







  • Trust me I fully understand.

    I went to med school, finished back in 2018.

    If I never step foot into a hospital again it’ll be too soon.

    I work from home now as a cloud engineer for a large US-based mortgage company.

    I’m very happy now. I’ve already made my piece that my $350,000 in loans can only be solved by making minimum payments for 20 years.

    All that being said, a lot of people are in a different boat than myself.

    Their loans are much more manageable and I’m really glad they’ll be able to pay them off because interest isn’t accruing.

    Who knows? I make enough now that I’m actually going to have to sit down and calculate whether it’s worth it to pay the loans off myself or just make minimum payments for 20 years and have the rest forgiven.

    The SAVE plan and interest no longer recruiting is the only reason these possibilities are there.

    Otherwise I’d have to resign myself to making 20 years of minimum payments and hoping that forgiveness plan is still in place.
