The reverse class resentment on student debt/free college is disturbing.

18. I paid to put my daughter through college

I live simply and I made a decent salary, so I could.

I worked minimum wage jobs to put myself through college. I determined that my child would not need to do that, it was a personal achievement that I focused on making happen. I am entirely happy that I did it.

Now I could have taken out loans, and she was certainly offered loans. Had I done so, she would have debt and I would have more cash. This was not my plan or what I wanted to achieve.

Now Warren proposed to cancel student debt. Some dillweed feels he is being cheated because he paid and will not get his money back. I do not want my money back. The expense was a gift to my daughter that I am happy to have made, I do not want anyone giving it back to me, because I did it on purpose.

That guy may have regrets that he gave his daughter a college education, I do not. I am happy to see debt forgiveness and it takes nothing from me.
