Yeah, but at least your mom got a degree (several?) out of the process. I'm feeling... like I managed to put myself fifteen thousand dollars in debt and failed at the same time.
She has degrees, but never completed the program for which she's in debt. And that debt has something like TRIPPLED due to bad mis-management since it was incurred. Never ever ever EVER default on a student loan, folks! She finally let me start helping several years ago. I'm still sorting out the fallout. I had to build a Visio diagram just to get the sequence of loan transfers straight. I tell you, it could be a LOT worse.
Wow. It's very hard to default on a student loan. I tried, through basically ignoring it and hoping it would go away, and moving a lot so they couldn't remind me. I failed.
