There is a lot more hidden costs to home ownership than the mortgage. Just wait until your roof goes bad or you need to replace big stuff like siding. That stuff can easily cost 20k. Lots of people can afford the mortgage costs until stuff goes wrong. In the end houses are a waste of money and has only been great to own one during inflationary periods like now.

No, it’s her fault for being stubborn and not expanding her mind of where she could move to. Sounds like she specifically wants one area that’s expensive and just because she has “degrees” she’s entitled to something she can’t afford.
I'm a 29 year old millennial. I have zero student loan because my post 911 GI bill paid for both my bachelor's degree and MBA. I served four years in the army. Military lifestyle was very difficult for me (waking up at 05:45 am to do physical training, the possibility of being deployed to a foreign country) but it was worth it. Now I have free healthcare through VA, which saved me tons of money. I also used the VA loans to purchase two houses in nice neighborhoods. The equity from my homes is in the six figure already, a good way to build generational wealth. I'm glad I didn't do the "traditional" route of taking out student loans.
I did the same in the late 80s. Young people have to go get what they want. Many are stuck on that easy soft path to nowhere. Acquiring mass debt in their 20s is crushing them. I'm blessed to be retired and free.
Sorry that "Thank you for you service" is all vets seem to get rewarded with. That's not to throw shade at anyone saying that, by the way. Just a loose observation.
I’m an older millennial. I got my master degree; my starting position/job post graduation was paid like a high schooler. I’ve worked multiple part-time jobs during school and lived in the basement (instead of college dorms) for years to save money; I’ve repaid my students loans (25k balance) and bought a condo 2 years post graduation. On one hand, people with college/graduate degrees should be paid better than people without. On the other hand, I think people should live within their means and take responsibilities of their choices in the past.
Thank you...I totally agree. I got a nursing degree and one of the things we had to get BSNs, Master's, and PhDs in nursing. They wanted us to know of options available to us other than Student Loans so we would not be straddled with debt for years and years. It's so ironic that it seems like Joe Blow working a dish washing job because he couldn't afford to college is expected to pay tax dollars for these Engineer and Dr's who were fortunate to go to college and get these high paying jobs.

@@micahalba753 nope. The amount of debt inhibits them from borrowing more. Especially with the market crazy high. So that 1995-250,000$ home is 2022-900,000$.

Almost none expected the housing market to go the way it has the past 14 years.
Yeah, except these people don't want to actually pay off their debt. They just want to keep borrowing and getting deeper into debt without actually paying any of it off.

Also, I made no assumption in fact I gave an apt personal anecdote you sought to pervert to make a non existent point. My clients are members of society.

Stanley is right. Another option is to move away from metropolitan areas. That's what I did. And I drove a minimum of 32 miles to work for 17 years. It worked for me. I got the thing paid off in 17 years with an income lower than... I dare say, half of those reading this.
I received my doctorate in 2018. I started working late December of 2018 due to chemo. I’ve been working 2 jobs while renting. I paid off my loan of 180k in 3 years of working. I’m saving for a house in California. It’s going to take a little bit longer, but I’ll be independent. Getting a second job is my best advice.
Did i hear this right? $560,000 in students loans??? Is she a doctor or a lawyer? If not, she is not being discriminated against because of the loans, but rather because of poor choices or irresponsible allocation of loans.
Yup. A coworker of mine (white) got a loan for a home and he has over 80k in student debt which he refuse to pay any to. I asked how, since I had to pinch and save to pay my student debt off before even thinking about looking for a home.. This is a big problem for Blacks and minorities.
I know right. Getting a student loan should be seen as an investment in yourself. 80k loan @ 7% interest for 30 years 4 years to get the degree: After those 4 years you should Be making enough to pay off that student loan. If you were stupid/ignorant enough to get an education that is not useful to society, then that is your fault.
I am white and I kept getting rejecting left and right for mortgages. Thankfully I am getting them discharged this fall through working for the (public service) government for 10 years.
@@6alisk a borrower is a slave to the lender , NOBODY should take out a student load our culture made it acceptable to take out loans instead of working our way threw school
I remember when my cousins used to pick at me when i choose to go with a trade as opposed to a college degree. All of them are knee deep in student loan debt. We all graduated together in 1999 and they are still paying some of those loans back and they now come to me for help. With the interest alone they have paid back the loan 3-4 times but seems not a whole lot goes towards the principal balance.
There are ways around this. People really need to do their research. We have student loan debt, but we are aggressive with repayment. I'm an epidemiologist and husband a chemist. We have Senior roles so our income is pretty good for the SLs we need to repay. We don't owe any other lenders/no other debt.
@Star I have a balance of over $250k in law school debt. I now have a $400k+ salary, some which I use to trade stocks and options for an additional $4k a month. We hear all the horror stories about loans because people who didn't go to college don't want to admit how limited their mobility is. They want to feel smarter than people who went to college. I plan to pay it all back when the pause ends and that's that. You saying a majority of their income goes to their debt and that they aren't happy seems like something you wish for them because you have no basis for knowing those things to be true, especially with income based repayment programs. I plan to stop practicing law before 40 and live off my investsments. Hate to break it to you but most of us are not suffering... sorry. 🤷🏾♀️
I wonder if part of the issue is that the houses they build now are pretty big. On my drive home from work all the new houses are giant compared to the older ones beside it. I'd imagine building smaller homes would result in houses that are more affordable
They need to reform the darn system. It is very easy for our country to help other countries but drag their feet when it comes to its own citizens. I feel like education is more of a penalty.
Try Navy Federal Credit Union. You can join if you have any family member (grandparent, parent, sibling, or kid) who ever served in ANY part of the US armed forces (including Coast Guard). They worked with me and I still had $80k of student loan debt.
I don’t understand why it’s not taken into consideration what you are currently paying in rent? If you’re paying more in rent than what a mortgage would be why is that not considered.
Incentives for home ownership are given to everyone except the people who really need them - the ones who grew up in poverty, the ones coping with dysfunctional and abusive families they can’t escape, the ones with disabilities, the ones who had to be caretakers of their parents since they were young, etc. They can’t ever get a break or catch up because the financial impact and financial abuse accumulates over time.
Why not erase all debt for everyone? We'll all live the high life. You made the debt and you should pay it off like everyone else has to pay off theirs. You just got a life lesson 101. Don't borrow what you can't afford to pay back. Why should my tax dollars pay for your education? I had to work and go to school to pay my way. It was hard. I managed. I took care of myself. No free loading or handouts.
@@naturalsbymarie6811 lol I attended college, trust me no one is jealous. Thank fully I didn’t have student debt, and I’ll be daum if I ever pay for anyone student debt. I hope you didn’t go to college for a useless degree.
I had a loan but paid it back. Colleges sold people on getting big wages And that didn't happen. Sad but if the government pays the loans we think inflation is bad now we won't know what hit us.
My buddy and his wife can't get a home due to his student loans. Luckily he's closer to being paid off but the price spike in rent here in Florida just slowed that process. His landlord increased 41% last month. I feel for them.
I stayed home and lived rent free while going to community college and then university 25 minute commute ever other day. I took advantage of the 0% during covid and i see a finish line
College should be more accessible regardless. Education felt like the only way out and up for me as well. I have loans, and thankfully have landed into professional career. It is so sad to hear these highly educated, successful women get denied due to their loans. College needs to be more affordable, and something needs to be done to cut the weight.
@@bernardosanchez5954 yes from my experience it is. Federal repayment plan has me paying 15% of my income over 25 years. And so much of the repayment goes to interest, most of it really. It’s over 7% on the loan which is a rate set by Congress. In 25 years if I never miss a payment it will be forgiven but whatever I still owe that year will be taxed as income. It feels like a predatory banking system that’s necessary to go through if you want to go to college.
It's holding millennials back but also senior women who have raised families and not made the money they needed to raise their families alone after their husbands left them holding the bag. The debt needs to be forgiven, all of it. It would open the economy and boost the economy. Women would be able to invest in homes and have that to pass on to their kids. Due to interest, my debt has increased 2 1/2 times. $10,000 is insulting. Bernie would have cancelled the it right away, but Clyburn and Obama didn't want to lose their donor money so they put the kabosh on Bernie who was winning the primary up to that point. Biden needs and can do better.🗽👵🕊️🕯️🧐
Bernie would have tried to cancel it and he would have failed. Less than 1/3 of the democrats would sign on to full loan forgiveness. Biden is stopping at 10k because of how conservative congress is. No idea why you people think Bernie would have magically done everything he promised. His track record of pushing bills as a senator isn't very good.
I think these women are single applying for too much house. One income without inherited down payments or gifts etc price most single incomes out the market now.
It's not the house price it's the debt to income ratio which makes them too big of a risk even for a lower priced home. The woman had 220k in debt and likely makes over 100k. But 220k is an enormous amount if debt. And that likely doesn't include credit cards, etc....
I consider myself luck I bought my home during the height of the pandemic. My students loans all in good standing and nearly paid off. Thankfully I don’t have kids yet. I think I would have been harder for me if I did. I would have had to reevaluate my options
It should be of note that NBC in the last few years started doing reports on “how student debtors” can’t afford homes. This has always been an issue. But with a decline in the housing market it has become obvious. The fact of the matter is student loans are irrational, but they maintained the system when they could get away with it as long as the predatory system pumped universities with money. Right now with high interest rates it’s irrational to buy a home at the moment. But it’s also expensive to rent. The rational thing for young people is move away from the USA and get their education else where. The USA does not want an educated and debt free population.
I’m a millennial with 60k in student debt. I just bought my first home. My lender was willing to work with me and I saved up enough for a down payment and closing costs.
Thankfully I had the priviledge of not paying anything for college. I have my Associates, Bachelors, and masters Degree and paid zero dollars in student loans🙌🏼 to whoever reads this, I wish nothing but success and happiness to everyone!
People have no knowledge about Debt to Income Ratio. You have to work smarter not harder. A degree doesn't have the return on investment even a Masters degree. Bad strategy to rely on a degree.
Went to community college first for a lot of core classes, then transferred to a private college and went part time for as long as possible, paying for classes as I took them and kept my living expenses as low as possible. The last 2 semesters I had to go full time and took out a student loan but only used what I absolutely needed to pay for tuition and sent the rest back as my first payment on the loan. I paid off the rest earlier than expected so I could start saving for a house. Then I got the house I wanted and could easily afford it. So it can happen, it takes time and sacrifice but very worth it. I never tried to live above my means. It was never about whether or not I deserved it. It was about whether or not I could afford it.
As a black woman I know the odds will always be against me but I still try I had $ 10,000 in student debt which is almost paid off I only owe $2,000 plus while paying it off I also saved for my husband’s & I down payment on our first house it took 5 years to save the down payment but I did it what help me pay my debt was the pause in interest during Covid it took 7 years but my debt is almost finish oh I also consolidated my credit card debt 4 years ago & I did all this while making $22 a hour plus it also helps that I have a husband who helps me with household bills I had to play like I was broke to focus on my goals for example only buying things as needed food female needs etc. only buying clothes as needed & paying my half of the household bills

Student debt interest is compounded daily! I have moderate debt from school and over the last 7 years I’ve paid $18k in interest alone with almost nothing to the principal and that’s just over 1/3 of the total but it gets waisted to the interest. If it was done like a car loan or other basic loan methods I would have paid a large amount of that to principal. Compounded daily is what you choose for investments in order to maximize profit from the interest, so school loans are structured to maximize their profit off of you
I'm 54 years old and I am $60,000 in debt and not working at all once I finished my college education while being homeless and was discriminated and rejected with jobs
Dame it. I got my first home. I bought when the housing market bubble was bursting .no one can afford to keep the house payments .I got lucky I sold it for three times what I paid . I don’t feel sorry for nobody .! just paid off my second home 🏡 home right before the pandemic all the kids born in the 80s you had your chances to buy your house is cheap but yet you want to rent or lease now you’ll be doing the rest of your life
No one was forcing anyone to take a student loan. You went to college because you’re smart, you’re willing and accepted the terms of the loan, you didn’t complained when you took the money. Now you have a degree, because of that you’re earning more than those who have no degree. Take a big portion of your check and pay off that loan as fast as you can. We don’t need to hear you complaining about interest that you already know. Be responsible and pay what you owed. Don’t ask the government to pay part of that loan. That’s tax payers money. We have nothing to do with that loan.
Nothing to do with "millenial" this applies to all of us. Many still have student loans all across the board....it needs to all get canceled. Tiny homes, open land that we can grow food on and thrive as communities is what needs to happen. We have been trapped and enslaved by the govt....it is time for change for all of us.

She is entitled to have as many degrees as she wants . The problem is the cost of collegr education system. Other countries such as Canada and Europe college is free. Or costs way less .

@@rebeccaabel4589 My mother told me that the USA is the greatest country in the world, You don't need to be smart to go to college, just have money. Europe college is free, they test, 70 IQ village idiots don't go for free.
So you blame your student loans for the reason why you live in a bad neighborhood. What about the people who still live there and don’t have student loans? We need to help everybody, not just people with student loans, to be able to live in a safe neighborhood.
So what should we do about the people who worked two jobs to pay off their student loan? Should they be getting a refund? What you are not talking about is the # of students who took extra money from their loans to buy non college materials.
Considering the lack of ambition of many people in our society who choose to do nothing with their lives, i have so much respect for those who pursue and complete higher education and you all DO NOT deserve to be in this situation of hindering debt. BUT...no one forces you into these loans, you are a willing participant in this issue, the finance numbers are presented to you before you sign for it so it's ridiculous that you get offended when they start billing you for it or when it affects your debt to income ratio for loans SMH.
No need to listen after the one lady said she should not have to settle for a less expensive house in a less desirable neighborhood!!! Welcome to life! WOW! THAT is our problem!
It’s not the lack of understanding. It’s the lack of accountability. You signed and accepted thousands of dollars. Now you pay the consequences. It’s called being an adult.
Deal with it. Just like all the generations before you. Life choices. If you didn't think you could afford to go to an expensive school then you should have chose a less expensive path. Don't whine after it's over. Millenials are entitled to get all their stuff for free... not.
Massive SL debt will ruin your life. You will never own a home, never have children, and suitable marriage mates will reject bc of your massive debt. Better to have done a stint in prison. You will pay for life for a mistake you made when you were 16 yo to 24 yo. For many, sui cide will be the only way out. I'm a 52 yo Gen Xer, I know from experience, I graduated with my masters in 1996 and was immediately in the hole $70K. It's now ballooned to $130K (interest).
As a member of gen z, you can still do it. I work 40+ hours a week and have bought a house. What makes this even better is I have a community College degree only. You have to work hard, but in some areas you need to accept that homeownership isn't possible, move to a cheaper area
Honestly, if you are careless enough to let your student loans pile up to such massive amounts, what would lead me to believe that your overall personal finances won't follow suit, such as with obtaining a mortgage.
@@silo18 I would say a little bit of all of the above. Maybe somewhere in those four years, a person would look at the loan statement and do some basic math and ask, "Gee, is all of this going to be worth it just to earn $50,000 per year?" And it's not like loan payment calculators are not easily found for free on the internet these days. Watching these news reports gives me the impression that they didn't even bother to look at the loan statement, and finally, after four years, they are in shock regarding how compounding interest works.... You know, what we should have learned in about 8th grade. Or if you borrowed $5.00 from an older sibling at around age 10. You learn quickly how interest works and what happens when it isn't paid back. These loan borrowers are going to now have TWO AND A HALF YEARS of interest free financing. And jobs are everywhere. And they just want it completely erased. Gee, why not do that with my mortgage so I can afford to go to college? Why not erase my car loan so I can go to college? It's the same thing. Money is money. You get to decide where it goes, but you should not be able to decide where mine will go. I do not care how another person handles his or her finances, as long as the consequences of their actions do not fall on my plate, and this LOAN FORGIVENESS IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO HELP EAT! This is after I already ate all of mine. No. You dished it up, YOU get to eat it. Learn. I did. Now it's your turn. Maybe these colleges should have a prerequisite class regarding how loans work. If you don't figure it out then, you do not get to finish your degree.
Lots of people work hard, paid their loans, and still can't afford to buy a home. But you want taxpayers to pay your loans just so you can have everything you want? SMH. Just pay your own way. Lots of people lost money, jobs and/or homes during the Great Recession of 2008 and the only ones that got help was Wall Street!
I feel the exact same way. Thing for me is I have a criminal history as well and no one want to give me a job either. Its not fair and its not cool. I was basically laughed at by the loan company. I was pre approved an everything. I gave up pretty much. Ive also been waiting on my Virginia College loans to be dismissed. Found out they already were dismissed. They just didnt dismiss all of them only the ones around the time of the school closing.
So you saying house sale prices could be even higher if these young people did not rack up huge debts and were able to join the bidding wars. Lady "deserves to be safe" in a big house in a nece neighborhood. Stop releasing criminals.
Nobody is holding them from owning a home, time and money is. I purchased my first home at the age of 40 because I had to save and pay off my debt. Simple right? Not everyone will be able to get a home right away. Student debt is part of life, just like a mortgage is a part of life. Stop crying, you are not special. Pay your debts and be responsible for your decisions. I worked two jobs for many years to take care of business.
Yeah, I'm not sure why they think they are entitled to home ownership by a certain age. My sister bought her first home at age 50 and she is a very high income earner with no debt. Seems like people in this video just want to get in more debt. Pay off the debt you have first, then you can get into more debt with a mortgage if you want. They just want the stuff (degrees, houses, cars) and don't want to pay for any of it.
Having the interest rate cancelled would be so amazing! Wish they would do that. Even nicer would be any amount previously paid in interest would go toward lowering the principal balance. That would be a dream.
The fact that we pay more to rent but can’t get a loan for a lower mortgage is stupid. Stable rent history should play a part in your credit history.

I’m an older millennial. I got my master degree; my starting position/job post graduation was paid like a high schooler.
I’ve worked multiple part-time jobs during school and lived in the basement (instead of college dorms) for years to save money; I’ve repaid my students loans (25k balance) and bought a condo 2 years post graduation. On one hand, people with college/graduate degrees should be paid better than people without. On the other hand, I think people should live within their means and take responsibilities of their choices in the past.
Thank you...I totally agree. I got a nursing degree and one of the things we had to get BSNs, Master's, and PhDs in nursing. They wanted us to know of options available to us other than Student Loans so we would not be straddled with debt for years and years. It's so ironic that it seems like Joe Blow working a dish washing job because he couldn't afford to college is expected to pay tax dollars for these Engineer and Dr's who were fortunate to go to college and get these high paying jobs.
You’re comparing your 25k in 2000s to people with 50k plus with the same wages in 2020s and inflation.. nobody cares about your story bro
@@reginapotts2583 youre like 50 talking about all this. YOU did nothing when you were in your 20s and 30s to influence the infrastructure so you want others to struggle even though the circumstances are different. Get over yourself old lady
Shrug I wasn’t allowed to live at home and living on campus was required for freshmen. I worked part time my last two years of school at a restaurant. My undergraduate education ended during a recession. I’d love to meet all of these people who seemingly make the best choices at 18. I think you have responsibility and accountability confused. I also think you are making assumptions that ignore obvious facts or facts you couldn’t possibly have.
@@reginapotts2583 literally a misstatement. Student loan forgiveness wouldn’t be felt by the dishwasher any more than the 800 billion spent yearly on the military. Guaranteed engineers impact their life more directly then a cruise missile aimed at a country he can’t pronounce. But hey let’s blame people for not being rich enough for an education. 1.3 trillion in student loans is the current value of all student debt and 800 billion is what we spent yearly on the military, but your fear is taxes on a dishwasher when we have the most billionaires then any other country.
Oof
We are a gen x. Hubs went back to get his Doctorate in his 30's. Now in our mid 40's we are struggling to buy. Good income, credit and low income based payment but because our student loan amount is so large we are forced into a higher intrest rate. Even our choice to rent cheap to save more counts against us as "payment shock"!
Boom
Then I guess you should pay your loan then?
@@micahalba753 someone didn’t read
I did read. All it sounds like to me is that they need to pay their payment correct?
@@micahalba753 nope. The amount of debt inhibits them from borrowing more. Especially with the market crazy high. So that 1995-250,000$ home is 2022-900,000$. It’s a numbers game people are blindly ignoring.
Many of us, me included, were advised student loans were not the same and would not impact these decisions. Almost none expected the housing market to go the way it has the past 14 years.
Dave Ramsey is the solution
Yeah, except these people don't want to actually pay off their debt. They just want to keep borrowing and getting deeper into debt without actually paying any of it off.
I remember clearly going to community college to get a certificate in n Manufacturing and CNC machinist. Most of my classmates have over $80,000 in student loans and I remember been laughed at for going to community college and now I say I don't have any debt. My personal advice don't go to college because "Society" say so because they're not going to pay your tuition either. Good luck with your journey in life.
Wait, what? This assumes so many things but ultimately assumes everyone has your experiences or wants to work in a trade.
Btw. Every time I charge my clients? They pay my tuition so yes one way or another society pays my tuition. You would have learned that in economics.
@@brianholloway6205 your clients aren't society. I'm a member only society, I'm not your client, for example.
@@stlsensimilla lol. You miss the point. Entirely. Whether or not all public education (including 4 year degrees) are paid for or not the cost will be paid. Trust me. Play stupid games when stupid prizes. Don’t come crying to me about medical expenses when you do nothing to mitigate the disaster.
Also, I made no assumption in fact I gave an apt personal anecdote you sought to pervert to make a non existent point. My clients are members of society. Even if I had none and worked for a public agency. Someone pays. Do better.

‘Why should I get a cheaper home?’ Cuz you can’t afford an expensive one! 😤
A lot of BAD things come along with a cheaper home--like a BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, BAD NEIGHBORS, BAD SCHOOLS and BULLET HOLES IN EVERYTHING! Cheap homes are cheap for a reason.
Stanley is right. Another option is to move away from metropolitan areas. That's what I did. And I drove a minimum of 32 miles to work for 17 years.
It worked for me. I got the thing paid off in 17 years with an income lower than... I dare say, half of those reading this.

@@SF-ww9xe less right-wing propoganda, thanks.
Yup. A coworker of mine (white) got a loan for a home and he has over 80k in student debt which he refuse to pay any to. I asked how, since I had to pinch and save to pay my student debt off before even thinking about looking for a home.. This is a big problem for Blacks and minorities.
I know right.
Getting a student loan should be seen as an investment in yourself.
80k loan @ 7% interest for 30 years
4 years to get the degree:
After those 4 years you should
Be making enough to pay off that student loan. If you were stupid/ignorant enough to get an education that is not useful to society, then that is your fault.
I am white and I kept getting rejecting left and right for mortgages. Thankfully I am getting them discharged this fall through working for the (public service) government for 10 years.
@PEACE AND LOVE I already got a house so no need. My student debts were already paid off.
@@6alisk a borrower is a slave to the lender , NOBODY should take out a student load our culture made it acceptable to take out loans instead of working our way threw school

There are a lot of bitter uneducated people in these comments....geeeez.
I remember when my cousins used to pick at me when i choose to go with a trade as opposed to a college degree. All of them are knee deep in student loan debt. We all graduated together in 1999 and they are still paying some of those loans back and they now come to me for help. With the interest alone they have paid back the loan 3-4 times but seems not a whole lot goes towards the principal balance.
There are ways around this. People really need to do their research. We have student loan debt, but we are aggressive with repayment. I'm an epidemiologist and husband a chemist. We have Senior roles so our income is pretty good for the SLs we need to repay. We don't owe any other lenders/no other debt.
Yes the interest rate is way too high on these loans it is super tough to pay the principal balance because most of your payments go to interest.
Do they make more than you?
@Star I have a balance of over $250k in law school debt. I now have a $400k+ salary, some which I use to trade stocks and options for an additional $4k a month. We hear all the horror stories about loans because people who didn't go to college don't want to admit how limited their mobility is. They want to feel smarter than people who went to college. I plan to pay it all back when the pause ends and that's that. You saying a majority of their income goes to their debt and that they aren't happy seems like something you wish for them because you have no basis for knowing those things to be true, especially with income based repayment programs. I plan to stop practicing law before 40 and live off my investsments. Hate to break it to you but most of us are not suffering... sorry. 🤷🏾♀️
Pay back more than the minimum payment?
I wonder if part of the issue is that the houses they build now are pretty big. On my drive home from work all the new houses are giant compared to the older ones beside it. I'd imagine building smaller homes would result in houses that are more affordable

That's my life right now. I have been turned down over 5 times because they see my students loans and then reject me. It's not fair!!! 😢
They need to reform the darn system. It is very easy for our country to help other countries but drag their feet when it comes to its own citizens. I feel like education is more of a penalty.
Sure it is. You already took out loans the size of a mortgage. You'd think they would have taught you a little math.
@@stlsensimilla 😢
Try Navy Federal Credit Union. You can join if you have any family member (grandparent, parent, sibling, or kid) who ever served in ANY part of the US armed forces (including Coast Guard). They worked with me and I still had $80k of student loan debt.
Me too
I don’t understand why it’s not taken into consideration what you are currently paying in rent? If you’re paying more in rent than what a mortgage would be why is that not considered.
Cause it’s a scam 😑
Incentives for home ownership are given to everyone except the people who really need them - the ones who grew up in poverty, the ones coping with dysfunctional and abusive families they can’t escape, the ones with disabilities, the ones who had to be caretakers of their parents since they were young, etc. They can’t ever get a break or catch up because the financial impact and financial abuse accumulates over time.
The economy is on the verge of collapse precisely for this scenario.
Homes cannot sell without buyers.
Where are these ladies husbands? You need two incomes to qualify for a significant mortgage these days.
Why not erase all debt for everyone? We'll all live the high life. You made the debt and you should pay it off like everyone else has to pay off theirs. You just got a life lesson 101. Don't borrow what you can't afford to pay back. Why should my tax dollars pay for your education? I had to work and go to school to pay my way. It was hard. I managed. I took care of myself. No free loading or handouts.
I'm not sure I feel bad for people who borrowed too much money and now can't buy the house of their dreams...

Some companies need professionals so badly, many are now hiring and you don't need a degree. A video was done about, unbelievable 🤔
My buddy and his wife can't get a home due to his student loans. Luckily he's closer to being paid off but the price spike in rent here in Florida just slowed that process. His landlord increased 41% last month. I feel for them.
Thank you for continuing to cover the student loan crisis!!
220k in debt and she wants her dream house NOW. Okayyyy.
“More degrees than a thermometer.” Bars
I stayed home and lived rent free while going to community college and then university 25 minute commute ever other day. I took advantage of the 0% during covid and i see a finish line
College should be more accessible regardless. Education felt like the only way out and up for me as well. I have loans, and thankfully have landed into professional career. It is so sad to hear these highly educated, successful women get denied due to their loans. College needs to be more affordable, and something needs to be done to cut the weight.
Fund a roommate, lose the new iPhone and pay down debt before applying for a mortgage. Basics!
Get government out of student loans, watch this issue fix itself.
Isn't the repayment on students loans really aggressive?
Heck yes! Thanks for being an ally.
@@bernardosanchez5954 yes from my experience it is. Federal repayment plan has me paying 15% of my income over 25 years. And so much of the repayment goes to interest, most of it really. It’s over 7% on the loan which is a rate set by Congress. In 25 years if I never miss a payment it will be forgiven but whatever I still owe that year will be taxed as income. It feels like a predatory banking system that’s necessary to go through if you want to go to college.
200k? Wow
560k in student loans? How the F does that happen
@@pRoDlGy007 Right! I hope she has a terminal degree at least.
Sis, if you have $200,000 in student loans you cannot afford to buy a home.
It's holding millennials back but also senior women who have raised families and not made the money they needed to raise their families alone after their husbands left them holding the bag. The debt needs to be forgiven, all of it. It would open the economy and boost the economy. Women would be able to invest in homes and have that to pass on to their kids. Due to interest, my debt has increased 2 1/2 times. $10,000 is insulting. Bernie would have cancelled the it right away, but Clyburn and Obama didn't want to lose their donor money so they put the kabosh on Bernie who was winning the primary up to that point. Biden needs and can do better.🗽👵🕊️🕯️🧐
Bernie would have tried to cancel it and he would have failed. Less than 1/3 of the democrats would sign on to full loan forgiveness. Biden is stopping at 10k because of how conservative congress is. No idea why you people think Bernie would have magically done everything he promised. His track record of pushing bills as a senator isn't very good.
Would allow you to borrow and go into debt again.
I think these women are single applying for too much house. One income without inherited down payments or gifts etc price most single incomes out the market now.
It's not the house price it's the debt to income ratio which makes them too big of a risk even for a lower priced home. The woman had 220k in debt and likely makes over 100k. But 220k is an enormous amount if debt. And that likely doesn't include credit cards, etc....
I consider myself luck I bought my home during the height of the pandemic. My students loans all in good standing and nearly paid off. Thankfully I don’t have kids yet. I think I would have been harder for me if I did. I would have had to reevaluate my options
Is a nightmare!!! I owe a lot and I have good credit!
It should be of note that NBC in the last few years started doing reports on “how student debtors” can’t afford homes. This has always been an issue. But with a decline in the housing market it has become obvious.
The fact of the matter is student loans are irrational, but they maintained the system when they could get away with it as long as the predatory system pumped universities with money.
Right now with high interest rates it’s irrational to buy a home at the moment. But it’s also expensive to rent.
The rational thing for young people is move away from the USA and get their education else where.
The USA does not want an educated and debt free population.
I’m a millennial with 60k in student debt. I just bought my first home. My lender was willing to work with me and I saved up enough for a down payment and closing costs.
Subprime? 🤪
this isn't my issue..it's the companies paying UNLIVABLE wages that don't keep up with rent, home buying, etc.
Thankfully I had the priviledge of not paying anything for college. I have my Associates, Bachelors, and masters Degree and paid zero dollars in student loans🙌🏼 to whoever reads this, I wish nothing but success and happiness to everyone!
Biden I hope ur watching, Cancel student loan debt!!!!!
"I work hard, and I own my own business....and degrees - I DESERVE" - no dude, you're broke.
People have no knowledge about Debt to Income Ratio. You have to work smarter not harder. A degree doesn't have the return on investment even a Masters degree. Bad strategy to rely on a degree.
Better strategy is to be a hot woman and not a short male

That!
Went to community college first for a lot of core classes, then transferred to a private college and went part time for as long as possible, paying for classes as I took them and kept my living expenses as low as possible. The last 2 semesters I had to go full time and took out a student loan but only used what I absolutely needed to pay for tuition and sent the rest back as my first payment on the loan. I paid off the rest earlier than expected so I could start saving for a house. Then I got the house I wanted and could easily afford it. So it can happen, it takes time and sacrifice but very worth it. I never tried to live above my means. It was never about whether or not I deserved it. It was about whether or not I could afford it.
I deserve not to have to pay for someone else's debt.
As a black woman I know the odds will always be against me but I still try I had $ 10,000 in student debt which is almost paid off I only owe $2,000 plus while paying it off I also saved for my husband’s & I down payment on our first house it took 5 years to save the down payment but I did it what help me pay my debt was the pause in interest during Covid it took 7 years but my debt is almost finish oh I also consolidated my credit card debt 4 years ago & I did all this while making $22 a hour plus it also helps that I have a husband who helps me with household bills I had to play like I was broke to focus on my goals for example only buying things as needed food female needs etc. only buying clothes as needed & paying my half of the household bills
May I ask why it would be more difficult for a black woman to pay her debts than it would be for a white woman?
Hold your head high! You're an inspiration!
Same😊 all I owe is 10k but I don't want an entire home just a tiny house I can move🎉
Well, yea, probably best to pay off one large debt before taking out another.
This is the new Jim Crow, discrimination against Marginalized Demographics is a daily occurrence. These ladies might try to move to an affluent black neighborhood or Ex Patriating to a more favorable country where they are treated better and their ability to find a suitable partner increases by 95%.

To bad so sad. They signed up and will get the long term benefit hopefully.
Student debt interest is compounded daily! I have moderate debt from school and over the last 7 years I’ve paid $18k in interest alone with almost nothing to the principal and that’s just over 1/3 of the total but it gets waisted to the interest. If it was done like a car loan or other basic loan methods I would have paid a large amount of that to principal.
Compounded daily is what you choose for investments in order to maximize profit from the interest, so school loans are structured to maximize their profit off of you
I'm 54 years old and I am $60,000 in debt and not working at all once I finished my college education while being homeless and was discriminated and rejected with jobs

No one was forcing anyone to take a student loan. You went to college because you’re smart, you’re willing and accepted the terms of the loan, you didn’t complained when you took the money. Now you have a degree, because of that you’re earning more than those who have no degree. Take a big portion of your check and pay off that loan as fast as you can. We don’t need to hear you complaining about interest that you already know. Be responsible and pay what you owed. Don’t ask the government to pay part of that loan. That’s tax payers money. We have nothing to do with that loan.
I'm dealing with the same problem

Considering the lack of ambition of many people in our society who choose to do nothing with their lives, i have so much respect for those who pursue and complete higher education and you all DO NOT deserve to be in this situation of hindering debt.

How's the Democrats empty promises on debt forgiveness working.

Honestly, if you are careless enough to let your student loans pile up to such massive amounts, what would lead me to believe that your overall personal finances won't follow suit, such as with obtaining a mortgage.
“Pile up” I’m not sure what you mean. Like over the four years of college? Or folks that are not paying it back and defaulting?
@@silo18 I would say a little bit of all of the above. Maybe somewhere in those four years, a person would look at the loan statement and do some basic math and ask, "Gee, is all of this going to be worth it just to earn $50,000 per year?" And it's not like loan payment calculators are not easily found for free on the internet these days.
Watching these news reports gives me the impression that they didn't even bother to look at the loan statement, and finally, after four years, they are in shock regarding how compounding interest works.... You know, what we should have learned in about 8th grade. Or if you borrowed $5.00 from an older sibling at around age 10. You learn quickly how interest works and what happens when it isn't paid back.
These loan borrowers are going to now have TWO AND A HALF YEARS of interest free financing. And jobs are everywhere. And they just want it completely erased. Gee, why not do that with my mortgage so I can afford to go to college? Why not erase my car loan so I can go to college? It's the same thing. Money is money. You get to decide where it goes, but you should not be able to decide where mine will go. I do not care how another person handles his or her finances, as long as the consequences of their actions do not fall on my plate, and this LOAN FORGIVENESS IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO HELP EAT! This is after I already ate all of mine. No. You dished it up, YOU get to eat it. Learn. I did. Now it's your turn. Maybe these colleges should have a prerequisite class regarding how loans work. If you don't figure it out then, you do not get to finish your degree.
Lots of people work hard, paid their loans, and still can't afford to buy a home. But you want taxpayers to pay your loans just so you can have everything you want? SMH. Just pay your own way. Lots of people lost money, jobs and/or homes during the Great Recession of 2008 and the only ones that got help was Wall Street!
I feel the exact same way. Thing for me is I have a criminal history as well and no one want to give me a job either. Its not fair and its not cool. I was basically laughed at by the loan company. I was pre approved an everything. I gave up pretty much. Ive also been waiting on my Virginia College loans to be dismissed. Found out they already were dismissed. They just didnt dismiss all of them only the ones around the time of the school closing.
Maybe bank robbery is a bummer for some lenders.

Nobody is holding them from owning a home, time and money is. I purchased my first home at the age of 40 because I had to save and pay off my debt. Simple right? Not everyone will be able to get a home right away. Student debt is part of life, just like a mortgage is a part of life. Stop crying, you are not special. Pay your debts and be responsible for your decisions. I worked two jobs for many years to take care of business.
Yeah, I'm not sure why they think they are entitled to home ownership by a certain age. My sister bought her first home at age 50 and she is a very high income earner with no debt. Seems like people in this video just want to get in more debt. Pay off the debt you have first, then you can get into more debt with a mortgage if you want. They just want the stuff (degrees, houses, cars) and don't want to pay for any of it.
I'm a Millennial, and I worked all of my 20s to buy my house. No student debt and I own several skills. Blessed for having common sense.
Congrats! Common sense just isn't that common anymore. Good for you.
Don't forget those rising prices of homes.
How about just cost of living is too high?
They should not have borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars! They should have the interest cancelled, but repay most, if not all, of the principle.
Having the interest rate cancelled would be so amazing! Wish they would do that. Even nicer would be any amount previously paid in interest would go toward lowering the principal balance. That would be a dream.
Student loans are the only loans you can’t have the principal canceled nor claim bankruptcy on.
WHERE IS DOCTOR MALONE’S HUSBAND?
Maybe paying the mortgage would be EASIER with a HUSBAND!
Pay your debts adults.
