Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

i really don’t understand many pharmacists refuse to consider this option!! especially since our profession has been hijacked by non pharmacists owners in retail!!

I paid off $100k over ten years. No vacations, no nice cars, barely got by. Now I'm paying into Social Security that won't be there when I turn 65, 70 or 75 (who knows what age it will be). I've already paid my share of Social Security and Medicare to qualify for my wife and I, now every paycheck goes towards paying for others who don't earn. Higher education tuition will increase every year if the loans are guaranteed by the government. By paying these off for people, future college students and their families are less likely to care about price increases because they'll be expecting a bail out down the road. That never blows up in anybody's face!

the prices do not correlate with earned income!! salaries are stagnant. look up average salaries in the eighties vs average tuition and financial aid packages (pre Reagan era)
higher education isn’t just for the wealthy.

Although my loans are long paid off, I think if anyone should get loan forgiveness, it’s healthcare workers. We never shut down, and the vast majority did not get to work from home. (I thought I was lucky that I got to work from home part of the time because I was in LTC, but I got laid off last April and am still looking for full time non-retail work)

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I feel like a lot of the discourse about pharmacists lately ignores that we are often just as informed or even more informed about the drugs physicians are handing out than they are. When it comes to the effects of medication we are without a doubt the best informed, period. Why is there this stigma that we want to prevent people from getting what they need?
