HOW THE F$*& CAN SOMEONE SO SMART BE SO STUPID! :wideyed::wideyed::wideyed:

This is slowlane mentality taken to extreme.

This is what happens when huge student loans numb you into thinking that debt doesn't really matter, until it escalates to a point where you come out of your cosy coma and realise you are in deep doo doo...

Ladies and gentlemen here we have a newly married couple. She is 29 years old and he is 32.

Their combined debt consists of:

335k student loan debt
136k credit card debt
44k personal loans
35k car loans
