My name is Troy, and I'm a part of the next economic bubble burst.
[I'm thinking about starting a chapter of student loaners anonymous, but then I guess I shouldn't publicly announce those plans on this blog or on Facebook.]
News is that total outstanding student loan debt will hit $1 trillion this year, and will burden our economy far into the future, much like the other bubbles a-bursting that led us to the recent Great Recession.
To be certain, my contribution is apparently 1/4 millionth of that overall situation, so I don't need any villagers to come busting down my door with pitchforks and torches. But I will admit to a life as a professional student with mild hoarding tendencies who only stopped collecting degrees when he maxed out of loan money eligibility.
In summary, I plan to refer to myself from now on as "Troy -- I'm one in a trillion."
