This just goes to show that the CHIPS Act was just a BIDEN sellout to FOREIGN Interests and he probably accepted a BRIBE because he HATES AMERICA! Donate to Trump's legal defense fund to pay a judgement against a woman he raped if you agree! 1 Link to comment

I didn't really need a student loan in 1980, but I took one out anyway because the rate was 7.5% and I could put it in a 13.5% money market account. 1 Link to comment

I don't think it is an "election issue" at the moment but it is not trending great. Not living with me. Both renting. It is the interests rate combined with the high house prices. We are in the same Biz. At their age I already ownd a house. I just feel bad for them. (Not bad enough to loan them money) They keep hoping for some relief. 1 Link to comment

That same house now goes for about $350k. I don’t know when my kids will be able to afford a house. I don’t think expecting interest rates to remain below 5% was ever realistic but with home prices and down payment requirements what they are now, it ain’t near as easy as it was for us. 2 Link to comment
