Horrifying Numbers

[dreiser]

School loans currently assessed: $65,370.40

UMSL cost for 6 credit hours: $1,748.04

Car payment monthly: $187.50

Cell phone bill monthly (unlimited minutes): $55.00

Credit card debt: $1,030.61

Roller Derby monthly dues (eventually): $40.00

Monthly gas cost: $50.00

Current monthly salary (estimated): $1375.00

Me: Poor as fuck and paying off potential school loans totaling $100,000 until the year 2035. Right now I’m set to pay until 2021. Oh dear god. Why am I doing this again? WHYYYY?

ETA: I think I honestly have to withdraw from UMSL. Which would be a pain since I bought books, parking pass, and paid for my year long student dental plan. Looking at that fucking debt I just don't think I can make myself add to it.

Also remember the high stakes testing, which doesn't mean that our children are being education - but they'll sure be able to take a test. I can't believe how expensive college is. Our whole education system is so screwed up.
