Student debt has many effects on the financial wellbeing of North Carolina households. We want to provide a space for North Carolinians to share the ways that student debt and, in some case, student debt forgiveness has changed their life. Here are a couple of questions to help you think about this impact in your own life:
1. How has your student debt impacted your ability to achieve your dreams (such as purchasing a house, expanding your family, following your passions)?
2. What does having student debt mean to you?
3. If you have received student debt forgiveness – what do you now use the money you used to budget for student debt payments on?
