1 in 5 millennials with debt expect to die without ever paying it off

Here's a thinker:

What if you tried not buying an expensive college tuition if your degree isn't going to get you a job that can realistically pay it off? Crazy, I know, but it's possible.

im pretty sure we can survive 7 years.

Inflation will eat away at their debt if they had any sense. $120k in a few decades time will be worth significantly less. Where I live the minimum wage is already $36.8k ($17.70) NZD at the least. Just in the late 80's/early 90's, $40k could have purchased you a home.

I left 5 years of undergrad from a state school with a great engineering program with no debt. My tuition was like 4500/year which I could pay with my min wage lab job. You don't need a $120k art degree from a shit school

This seems like it's a bit low. Almost every young person I speak to thinks debt is just a creation of the man designed to keep them down and sometimes I find it hard to disagree with them. Much of the deficit and debt owed by countries for example is because of criminal interest rates.
