Lol no. At this rate any moron without debt making at least minimum wage that knows how to save/invest can effectively be a multimillionaire relative to their peers in 2050. Everyone under 30 is going to let their debt compound and every year theres going to be a growing caste of debt slaves. Imagine a world where you can have SJW college students picking cotton for $5 a day while you blast anime music nonstop from the porch because their debt is THAT severe and they ignored paying it back for THAT long.

The question is whether you understand it.

All the bitching and moaning comes from the 100%'s, not the 70%'s.

As the years pass, within each graduating class there are statistically more of the former group and fewer of the latter. So there will be more bitching

But responsible people should only care about the latter and for them student loans continue to be an annoyance, not a problem.
