Part 3/8:
One particularly striking testimony comes from a woman who woke to find her credit score plummeting due to delinquent accounts on her student loans, which she had previously managed under a specific program that recently reversed its policies. Her financial independence feels distant, leading to a sense of desperation as she realizes she may lose her home and car—assets she worked hard to obtain.
Another woman describes her encounter with $50,000 in debt, admitting that her educational choices have not led to a financially rewarding career. She grapples with her next steps, contemplating a second job amidst a backdrop of anxiety over wage garnishments and a lack of supportive programs to assist those in her situation.
