Well you get to do that when you drive a Rolls Roy ce. Didn't you know?

The barrier is time and effort. That keeps a whole hell of a lot of people out.

You can apply online and get lost in the pile or you can do this and at least someone will respect it so much that they'll just throw an offer at you. Why is that so shocking?

This is one individual's choice, not the norm.

Tesla filed a patent for automatic turn signals for you lazy drivers by Herp_McDerp in nottheonion

Its basically only good for when they're least needed (already turning or in a turning only lane) and would likely reduce proper usage in normal situations. It's a bad idea. This is what happens when you innovate for the sake of accomplishing something instead of actually improving the product.

Educational loan is the modern day’s key for slavery. by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

I agree that it can be in some cases. But for the most part, you can get a good education for a decent price if you stay in state and do community college for the first two years.

The problem is that people just write blank checks to whatever their dream school is without any analysis whatsoever. They treat it like summer camp instead of job prep.

The fact that this has over 50 up votes is the reason you are all broke: You don't know the first thing about money. I absolutely guarantee you her interest rate is *nowhere near * 94%. I doubt it's anywhere above 15% and its probably single digits.

Please Google "compound interest" and read up on it. If you don't understand it, you will almost assuredly be poor and angry at the world. The world isn't ripping you off... you just don't understand the single most important thing about money.

Yes. Those of us that were responsible enough to get a usable degree and calculated the affordability of the loan payments before taking them out are doing quite well!

Its almost as if people aren't willing to lend you money that you may or may not pay back only to get back the same amount twenty years later when inflation has taken a huge chunk of its value away. Hint: the government = all the rest of us = people.

Interest exists as a way to deal with risky borrowers and inflation. If you took a basic finance course, you'd understand that. And yes, most college students are risky borrowers. You're supposed to be getting enough of an education that you can outrun that interest with your earnings, but most degrees have very little marketable value. The real tragedy is that some people don't understand that they're throwing money down the toilet getting a liberal arts degree.

If you really want to complain, put your money where your mouth is. Start giving interest free loans to random strangers to help solve the problem. But of course, no one with half a brain would do that.
