In this thread please discuss good planning going forward in a world where $50K student debt is forgiven. Would you anticipate the same happening in 5, 10, 20 years? On its surface, basic fairness would imply that current HS kids should get the same debt forgiveness down the road. Is it foolish to pay for your kids to go to college? Should all kids take out at least $50K in debt regardless of whether or not they or their parents have saved?
