You'll pay more than you borrowed in all cases, if you honor your debts.
But why in the world would we let a teenager with a smidge above zero experience and no assets borrow as much as a mortgage on a modest house? With the collateral being the mush between their ears.
Students, and parents, need to shop aggressively for a cost-effective college before inking a loan.
If Warren has her way you will be paying as a taxpayer student loans and so will those students with forgiven students loans (as a taxpayer). We all will be paying so if you have a student loan don't be celebrating yet. You might still have to pay (by taxes). Got it. Hope so especially if you have a college degree.
