    TBF, she’s not a boomer (famously those born after WWII). She’s 82 so was born around 1941, making her a member of the silent generation.

    And besides, older millennials (the oldest millennials are 42) and gen-xers might have been paying their loans for 20 years. It’s not just boomers.

      Elder Millennial checking in - Dark Brandon did indeed forgive both mine and my husband’s loans. It didn’t make a huge difference in our lives, but it also wasn’t nothing. Our income is low enough that our combined payments per month were around $135, and I do appreciate not having to start scrounging that up again next month, especially with the holidays approaching.
