Deadbeat Pete Buttigieg has student loan debt of $130,000 !!!

[Truth Detector]

Or my financial adviser who I pay a lot for. He's adamant that we maintain 30 year mortgages on our properties because the interest rate is half of what we can make in the market. It's called "leverage"...

Leverage is only good when you have the revenue to offset it. The notion that student debt for a lifetime is leverage is absurd.

Some people go tens of thousands in debt for a degree they do nothing with and doesn't help them in their career. That isn't necessarily good debt.

That aside you are choosing not to address the issue (not surprisingly). The issue is blame (or credit if you want to go there) for something your partner did prior to marrying you.

You have some evidence that is what Mayor Pete's husband did?

If you can borrow at a lower rate then you can make with it, you can. This is most commonly done through the home mortgage system. I've done it myself for decades, and will continue to do so until long after I retire...

Who gives up an unsecured low interest loan? Much lower than what you can get in safe investments.

We are talking about student loan debt; not investment debt.

It is, for the aforementioned reasons: student loans are high interest and are a red flag to credit reporting agencies.

I do. Because it adversely affects your credit score.

Again, you are making wild eye'd claims that are not fact based. He has been out of school for 9 years. $130K paying the minimum payment only pays interest, not principle. You are assuming he is leveraging that by investing in something that has a higher return. There is no evidence of this.

How do you know he isn't just a dumb fuck who thinks that if he gets elected, he can forgive all student debt and not have to pay it like a typical leach feeding at the public trough?

Correct; yet Jarod thinks it is smart money management for some reason. He would pay the minimum forever.

NO, not necessary. A certain amount of loans in good standing can help your credit score. Not having good debt will harm your credit score. Not having long term debt in good standing can harm your credit score.

False, Federal Student loans are low interest. Silly. Everyone knows that.

Also, they are unsecured.

I don't care what he did Jarod. It's the principle of the issue. A person isn't responsible for the behavior of their partner prior to them being together.

How the hell did this discussion take off so much? It's so stupid.

All your posts are stupid and whiny.

And even if he owes debt, he's never had multiple bankruptcies. I guess you forget we have a president like that, before you tried to say who is qualified, eh dingus?

And he calls him a "pervert" when the fucking moron he supports is the biggest PERVERT that even occupied the White House.
