Screw you guys, I'm goin home.
Oh, but if you had an actual family/job, you certainly would be paying much more
The fact that I'm paying my loans indicates that I'm not in school anymore, and I do indeed have a "real job". And the fact that I live in a city and get a free bus pass from work helps offset the gas prices a tad. But you're correct, I'm sure the food part would hurt more if I were feeding more than myself (however the 70% raise I got 2 months ago offsets it a tad).
I'm not making light of the situation in general, it affects other people negatively....but not everyone
Vic, all the more reason to pay them down as much as possible now, while my rate is 2.5% lower than it was in December...
