I'm fortunate. I worked two full-time jobs while going through full-time university. I got out with with minimal debt, which I paid off in about five years.

My sister's fortunate, too. She had multiple degrees and a lot of student debt, but she died of covid. The loans that my mom co-signed for might have lived on after my sister's death, except my mom died before my sister, so all her loans died with her. Student loan processors hate this one weird trick!

I really miss my family - yet at the same time, I'm really glad they're not around to see what's happened to the country.

I believe you and I define the word fortunate differently.
