I am a recent graduate of a MBA degree. I am 61 years old but continue to enroll in school because I owe over $100,000 in student loans, which I cannot afford to pay back right now. At 61 years old I should be thinking of retirement. However, with student loans exceeding $100,000, all I can think about is finding a higher paying job to help make the minimal payments on these loans and still satisfying my other obligations (e.g., mortgage, utilities, credit cards, car payments, etc.) I live with anxiety every day worry about how am I going to pay back my student loans. As you can imagine, I am deeply concern because the student loan that President Obama is addressing does not include people like my situation.
