Student loans, I'M PISSED OFF!!!!!!

[inlinefour]

Bloody labour! I worked like a mongeral, extra hours more shifts. Payed just under 28k in just less than two years, kept living like a student. I worked hard, had no life cause I could not afford one, went without, just to pay my student loan?????
INTEREST FREE????? WTF!!!!!!! Give me the damn money back! I could have my 2005 CBR600RR and still have a several grand left. I'm totally pisses off. This is just why the student loan thing is a joke. Had I still had the loan, I'd NEVER pay the damn thing, if it was not going to gather interest!

I like the idea of interest free student loans. When I retire from work in around 15 years time I'm going back to University to complete my PHD. I hadn't intended taking on a student loan so late in life, but with these new rules I'd be mad not to.

But then again, maybe that possibility is one very good reason to ensure Labour DOESN'T get back in.

They promise things to help the students last time and they did not come though.
So at the estimated cost it is going to be to the country I will believe it when I see it.
We would go from surplus to deficit in one foul swoop.
Remember they will promise the sky and the moon to get back in to power.

Getting a degree of what ever you call it is almost like a bad decision in life as it will lead you to a job that pays enough to pay off your loan. Pilot, that sounds like a good idea, you can make $100,000+ a year!!! Then once you have enrolled to learn to fly, you start racking up a $200,000 debt

I had 17 hour days as a student. Study for weekends and any spare time I spent with my family. I agree that any Govt just wants us to bend over, but you speak of only a fraction of students. There are plenty just there to get ahead John, not for the student culture...

I used to vote Labour, I can't decide now which worthless doomed 3rd party to vote for now, just to throw a spanner in the works for the pricks

The student loan interest free policy is all talk. It's not going to happen, It's just talk to get the students votes.
The Labour Govt estimated the removal of tax on student loan policies would cost the NZ taxpayers three hundred million dollars.
Last week, National Bank economists calculated that such a move would infact incur One Billion dollars to the NZ Tax payer and accordingly challenged the Labour figures. Labour has now replied stating that their figures may have been incorrect. Nothing more heard!

But rest easy, your paying of your loan was a wise move, because there will not be a zero percent policy from this labour party!

There is a strong possibility that under mmp a party like nz first will get to decide who governs .......and that really stinks, lets hope that whoever gets in starts treating the 'brains trust of this country a lot better
EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE

As always, nwhen they get into power, they'll just say something on the lines of "on seconds thoughts..."

[TwoSeven]

The current potential scam doing the rounds is people who dont need to, borrowing the $150/wk and putting it in an interest bearing account. Effectively, earning interest on their student loans
