<p>“Orman said student loans should always be paid first and should be a top priority -because they can never be discharged and they are always hanging over your head, the payments can balloon, your wages or even social security can be garnished,etc.”</p>
<p>Yeah, you’d think she’d say credit card debt. Apparently her point of view is that you don’t have to consider yourself responsible for any of it? You can just ditch all debt if you want to, except for the student loans. It’s just not a way I would ever consider looking at things, unless I had serious financial problems to start with. And if you consider that you don’t have to be held accountable for your own debts, you might not be living in a responsible way anyways. Sad.</p>
