Life lesson: Sometimes you can't trust family.

[del_]

Omg i salivate at the thought of only being $30k in debt. $492K in debt.

[kilduce]

It wouldn't surprise me if the father told his wife to pay off the sons 31k if he died and the wife promised but after he died she ignored his wishes.

[juulhomeloanteampre-launch]

"Test pilot for a broom factory"...!!! LOL

[susiesjourneytofreedom]

The only life lesson his mom taught him was you can’t trust anyone especially family. Smh

[aplacetobewithmythoughts]

I was exactly $31, 000 in student loan debt for a useless degree 8 months ago. Down to $24, 000 and should be paid off in 12 months now that I have a written budget to follow.

[romahngraham]

This guy didn't check his credit report for how long?

[CollegeBoyDeon]

Reason number one on why you should never put your trust into anyone else other than yourself

[Prince-fnff]

I just payed off the last of our 32k debt only took 16 months (mostly credit cards and my wife's medical bills) and our income is only 50k a year back then. He needs to just man up and take care of HIS debt.

[michelhanson]

Oh God yes! I know exactly how that feels. I was in that position once. Afterwards I learnt that when it comes to my friends and my family, simple rule to follow with money; "MY" problem is not "YOUR" problem so I won't ask you for anything and "YOUR" problem is not "MY" problem so don't ask me for anything.

[MadisonWestfield]

"Test pilot for a broom factory" lol oh Dave. I friggin love you.

[PersistentPatriot]

These kinds of family deals need to be solved by walking away from the family members - PERMANENTLY

[eessek]

Lol. I love Dave's G-rated insults...Bum...Twerp...I can think of some other words for that mom, heh.

[nfldshorty]

Get over it and pay your own student loans

[meganmawhinney]

I feel like there must be more to the story. He should have never signed loan documents if the parents agreed to pay for school.

[Jamaal]

You can't talk to a black mom that way! You will be picking up your face from the floor!

[inspiradorupees]

31, 000 isn't that bad...I'm 82, 000 in debt!!!

[bigkrisjames]

I'm wondering if the parents meant if he moves out and gets married he's responsible for all of his college and the son and her misunderstood it.

[Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

“He didn’t know” Thats the latest excuse for people wanting forgiveness 😂😂😂

[lowridingtrucks]

Didn't she say at the beginning "if he moves out or gets married he would be responsible for the loan?" Witch he did do.
