    Except for I remember back when the student loans repayments were paused, I remember multiple people openly saying I’m just not going to pay anymore. Not I can’t afford to pay, but rather they just weren’t going to pay. There’s a huge difference.

      “I remember multiple people…”

      Your anecdotal evidence is not evidence of a nationwide trend, unless you just want to demonize an entire segment of people for willfully avoiding their financial obligations, instead of acknowledging that they simply can’t afford it in an economy that has been deliberately configured to make it impossible for them to succeed.
