Iirc, student loans are simple interest loans. Google tells me the formula for a simple interest loan is: I (interest) = P (principal) x r (rate) x t (time periods). It also tells me the "average" student loan interest rate is: "For the 2017-2018 school year, the fixed rate on undergraduate Direct loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) is 4.45%. The rate for graduate or professional Direct unsubsidized loans is 6.00%. Direct PLUS loans have an interest rate of 7.00%. However, that doesn't mean all your debt has the same interest rate." As you all know, Im not so good at math. Can one of you pump those numbers through the formula and let me know if its accurate?

@Amentep: Im not debating the high cost, its her math that doesnt work out. Over 6.5 years she supposedly paid $165000 but only $15000 was applied to the principal? I dont buy it and it sounds like another tweet designed to evoke a gasp.

Student loans have a ridiculously low interest rate in the US too. That tweet smells like poopoo caca.

The Navy was full of fatties even back in the late 80's and early 90's, but physical training is non-existent in that branch. There were even sailors that couldn't fit through a scuttle!

When your first reply is a load of tard, Im going to point and laugh and treat it as such. 60% of the time, every time, and qq will bring out the clowns. The other 40% of the time means Im laughing at something, or someone, who is funny. Imo, "the press" is trying to drive the narrative to be exactly opposite of whatever Trump says. He says these troops were uninjured, and also sheltering in bunkers, but were somehow subjected to a scary scary sounding "TBI". It made me lol a bit that half were already back in the field but the other half had to leave the country to get better. Did you know that all of them also got sand in their eyes from being in a blowy desert?

34 US service members diagnosed with TBI from Iranian missile strike. Pathetic. But I guess they had to come up with something. Im 100% sure that "banging their shins on a footlocker" are under reported too!
