Why I Defaulted on My Student Loans (Lee Siegel) from the New York Times
"I refused to waste my life to pay back a pointless and overbearing debt. ... Moneyed stumbles never seem to have much consequence. Tax fraud, insider trading, almost criminal nepotism — these won’t knock you off the straight and narrow. But if you’re poor and miss a child-support payment, or if you’re middle class and default on your student loans, then God help you. Forty years after I took out my first student loan, and 30 years after getting my last, the Department of Education is still pursuing the unpaid balance. "
