      I don’t even live in the US, but based on the stories I’ve read, I guess it only takes one nasty accident leading to hospitalisation. Is that not a possible scenario?

        It’s absolutely possible. Though if you try reaaally hard and talk to the right people you can get that reduced significantly.

        Which, btw, should be the default.

        At public universities, tuition fees for Bachelor’s and Master’s programs typically range from €1,000 to €1,500 per academic year for EU/EEA students.

      It cost $20K to fix the plumbing in my house. Didn’t want to put it on a credit card, so instead took out a 0% loan. I’ll be done paying it off in November. That’s $20K in debt in one day.

        But you already have a house! You’re at least 3 years ahead of anon!

          It was financing through the plumbing company, so I guess not a true loan in that sense 😬 Sorry for the confusion!! They just gave us 2 years to pay off the balance interest free.

      It’s pretty easy if you just don’t have a job
