Anybody else really hopeful that companies start offering student loan assistance or is that just me? This $1000 payment is not going to be fun.

I also wish companies offered loan assistance. Would be a great incentive.

This is a great idea! Have you seen any companies doing this yet? I could definitely get on board.

Same! I don't understand why they couldn't at least forgive a portion.

I have always thought about this. I pay $1500 a month (I got a masters using company tuition assistance). Good thing is I switched jobs making much more and able to stay with family. I plan to pay off all my debt and buy my first house in June 2024.

I remember saying this idea to my boss at BNYM. She laughed at the idea. I just replied “welp I guess we know the company intentions if people would use something useful”.

My family used some of my school money since it was low interest to repair their home. They are helping me pay it off as well.

I make $225K a year now.
Family is retired now living in a paid off house.
I have very little expenses other than my student loans (no rent or utilities, I just pay for food and phone bill).

How in the world is your monthly payment $1000??

OP I feel you on this. Dorm and food were the main drivers of mine. Besides that I had to use money to help family. I remember they needed to borrow $10K at one time before.

What do you mean EY1? Mine is over $500 and I went to an in-state public university

That would be amazing and would definitely draw applicants in. Great perk that should be instituted.

It would definitely draw in younger educated crowds and there is a small tax cut in there as well.

If 1000 is your minimum then you ain't gonna have a fun time LmFaooo. I got 35k left and my minimum is 300$

Yupppp $1000 is the minimum on the lowest payment possible plan.

My company does. Which is a first. This would have been great when I graduated college close 20 years ago

What are the terms? If you don’t mind me asking.
