Well she'll just find some man to marry and stick him with the bill.
Unfortunately you're probably right. Most of us, before our wake up call of "reality versus theory" vis a vis feminism and the law - were completely ignorant of how women like this are.
I mean, she, and her mother who raised her have an EXPECTATION that SOMEBODY should clean up this mess ... and that this is unfair (to whom?).
She picked her college. She CHOSE her degree program. SHE accumulated the debt.
But now it's time for "us" to solve it.
No way I'd marry a woman that far into debt. She'd have to be at zero balance first - ok, with the normal caveat of car loan and under 10k in credit cards (ya know, a NORMAL person).
Me? I have a car payment and about 12k in debt - but I accrued that debt knowing I was getting a bonus, and, minus the car payment, should be completely debt free within 6 months.
It's called personal responsibility.
