student loans

postcardsfromyomomma:

Hey Baby,
I got a collection letter for the student loans. Don’t worry about the credit cards, they will eventually give up and just go away. However, the student loans are the FEDS and they will never go away. We need to contact them and work out some kind of payment plan even if its only $5 a month. They will either take my car or put a tax lien on my house. If you need for me to call them also, just let me know.
Hope your day is brillant.
Love,
Mom

So many of these are incredibly sweet, but this might take the cake. I’d argue that this person’s Mom might do better to come down a little harder — dodging credit card companies is not exactly sound financial advice — but this approach sure beats the YOU MORON YOU RUINED THIS FAMILY that I’d deservingly get.
