The "nightmare of paying off student loans"? What nightmare? It's the easiest fucking debt in the world to deal with. You can literally call up whatever "servicing" company is leeching free money off your loans and straight up say "uh, hey, I can't afford to make payments right now" and they'll just go "oh lol okay np, forbearance mode activated no payments for a year and just call us if you still have trouble in a year kthxbye" ... and they won't report you as delinquent to the credit bureaus either.
And if you do fall behind on payments without phoning ahead first, you can still just call them up and say the same thing, and they'll immediately give you the same forbearance, mark you as "current" and usually even waive/forgive some of the late fees.
What a fucking idiot. He really does view life as one endless struggle he's just on the cusp of prevailing against, doesn't he?
