We were 17-18 years old, and every single adult in power over us told us to go to college, get these loans to pay for it. Now we're in so much debt we can't afford to start families, buy homes, everything the other generations took for granted. Now we're "entitled" for complaining about it.

Jamie McAtee

So do you have regrets about going to college, regrets about what college you chose to go to ($$$$), or regrets that you now have to repay your debts like all of the rest of us for our schooling?

Courtney Lucas

If we send these kids out into the world thousands of dollars in debt, we are setting them up for failure. If we punish them for educating themselves this is why we have such a huge poverty level.

Max DeYoung

I won't let their foolishness, or your foolishness drive me into poverty. We are not a communist country, nor are we going to be.

Christopher Watson

None of the people living in the Projects or low income housing got there because they went to College, Keep it real.

I have never asked anyone else to pay my bills, they should of had their priorities straight to begin with. 1, degree, 2. Career, 3. Pay off bills, 4. buy a new car, 5. Then you're ready for a relationship/marriage/and a house.

Terre Chambers

Absolutely not. Let them pay their own bills like the rest of us have.. They have already been given too much with no payments for three years. Make them pay

Randy Burson

I'm sick & tired of people with their entitlement attitude. I took out a student loan, I paid it off. If you took out a student loan, you pay it off.

NO, Joseph Edward Trueblood. You are too irresponsible to start a family, and buy a home. Student loans won't buy common sense.

Max DeYoung

If you sign a contract, you fulfill the contract.

Abby Normal

If you are mature enough to take out a loan, then you should be mature enough to pay it back. Nobody made you take out a loan. If your field of study/ preferred career doesn't pay enough to support you and pay back your loans, then you chose poorly. You've just learned personal responsibility.

Nissan Leaf $18,000 (after rebates) +Kia Rio (gas) $20,000 = $38,000 or a Subaru Outback = $38,000 two for the price of one!

Jane CommunityMember

Considered it, but they need to get cheaper. My neighbor has an EV and he pays far less to charge it than I pay for gas.

Gabe West

I think it's a waste of money

Can't afford it.

What they neglect to tell people is that it causes more pollution creating the batteries for electric cars then what were already causing. These electric cars are not the awnser to our problems. Engines don't run on liquid gas they run off the fumes that it creates they can fix it but they won't!

Jane CommunityMember

Riiiight, because finding and extracting petroleum, refining it into gasoline, transporting it, and burning it is completely pollution free, LOL,

Charging them & keeping them charged has become an issue with recent cold weather.

Steven Huillet

Never will either!

M Vigoren

Far too many children are being forced into slave labor just so idiots can say they are being good citizens of the planet.

Rick Allen

Absolutely NOT. That is going in the wrong direction and is going to be more of a problem than a help. It is ludacris and not viable. Global warming is a hoax, from the corrupt left. The Earth has been cooling and warming on and of for thousands of years! I do not like E V's!!!

Mark Mueller

What a scam. If everyone went to E Vehicles, we wouldn't have the power generating capacity to service them. Check out the amp draw on elec vehicles and figure it out. Guess we could build more nuke and coal plants to make up the difference.

Ric Pruitt

NEVER

Gabe West

There too expensive, right now we are dealing with Biden inflation that should be your only priority

Steven Daniels

So, you can't use your ebt card to pay for it?

Retired. The taxes are simpler now.

I use HP online and submit them myself each year.

Tina Bouthillier

I am an accountant so of course I do lol

rover6rover

My husband does them using a popular tax preparation software package. Our situation is generally pretty simple.

Terri Compton

I've been doing my own taxes since my first job at 16. Mom taught me how and I've done them every year since. Using a computer has made the task so much easier and faster.

Ry Kali

My mother taught me how to fill out a 1040 as a child. After that I started doing them for her. She hated math. On occasion, she has an expert do it for her. I use to do myself, using a 1040EZ, now I use a tax website.

They have gotten too complicated. I used to do our taxes using H&R Block software. Each of the last 6 years there are more and more changes to the tax code. We've even had to amend our taxes because of the "updates" that only show up in April.

Maureen Hannon

I used to always do it myself. But, after getting married, having a child, having investments, etc., we decided to have someone do them for us who knows all the ways to increase the refund.
