It’s for people in income-driven repayment plans who have been paying back loans for 20 or 25 years

Lmao they're forgiving debt but only for boomers you've got to be fucking kidding how are y'all not rioting yet

TBF, she's not a boomer (famously those born after WWII). She's 82 so was born around 1941, making her a member of the silent generation.

And besides, older millennials (the oldest millennials are 42) and gen-xers might have been paying their loans for 20 years. It's not just boomers.

Elder Millennial checking in - Dark Brandon did indeed forgive both mine and my husband's loans. It didn't make a huge difference in our lives, but it also wasn't nothing. Our income is low enough that our combined payments per month were around $135, and I do appreciate not having to start scrounging that up again next month, especially with the holidays approaching.
