He's a 6'7" white doctor. I'm sure a wealthy asian woman would gladly pay off his loans.

And lean! With two cute kids and what appears to be a relatively thin wife (inside re facial aesthetics).

U: gun in mouth at desk.

"Mr. Meru pays only $1,589.97 a month—not enough to cover the interest, so his debt from seven years at the University of Southern California grows by $130 a day. In two decades, his loan balance will be $2 million."

If this is the case, why even pay anything?

Yes stupid. PSLF is the public interest program. PAYE and IBR are for anyone with the right income to debt ratio.

PAYE and IBR are not tied to the status of the employer. It's just a calculation of repayment based on income. Based on my own experience if he's repaying $1,600/mo with a family size of 4 he's probably making well over $200,000 per year. The status of his employer only matters for whether he gets PSLF or not.

Obviously an extreme example but a good one of why the system is so fucking stupid.

he's just increased his tax rate 10% for 20yrs instead of paying tuition, and probably makes $200 something. he'll save up for the tax bomb until it gets forgiven, and then retire like anybody who made $150k for their whole career and doesn't have loans.

I'm sure he can find a way to make himself insolvent for discharge of indebtedness purposes over the course of a few decades.

“These are choices. We’re not coercing,” said Avishai Sadan, dean of USC’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, where Mr. Meru went to school and one of the most expensive in the U.S. “You know exactly what you’re getting into.”
