  1.  @bonniegaither3994  but is the answer to go the other way and have people who go into the trades and work hard and borrow money to start their own business have to subsidize people who want degrees in non-practical fields? personally, I think you should have to pay for your school entirely, and then, if your degree lands, you a real world job in that field, then, each year you are in that field you should have a percentage of your debt wiped out. I don’t think anybody has a problem with helping people out to varying degrees if they’re going to school for something practical, but you have to understand how this feels to people who didn’t go to college. Again, if you’re a plumber and you wanna start your own business, so you borrow money and go into debt to buy more equipment and vehicles, nobody cares. No one‘s gonna help you with your expenses, even though they were done to try and make a better life for yourself. Why does nobody want to help out that guy but it’s expected that we help out people going to college? It’s a tough one.

  2. I live in Vancouver Canada. I make over $100,000 a year and if we want to go by the standard guideline of using 30% of your net income for housing costs, then I can’t even afford a one bedroom condo rental in a halfway decent building. I’m not talking luxury. Those are much more. I mean a nice modern building. I can’t even afford a one bedroom rental if I am trying to stick to the traditional guidelines. If 20 years ago you told me I’d be making six figures I thought I would’ve been loaded. it’s nothing to pay $3000 here for a small 1br. Things have to change. Houses are $2m on average here. 2 freakin million for a regular house in a 20+ yr old neighbourhood. There’s zero chance I’ll ever own a home.
