students loans and mortgages have the same feel to them. debt taken on without real scrutiny.

feels pretty different to me. I need $200-250k household income + six figure down payment to qualify for a mortgage where I live, whereas I can take on $100k+ in student debt without any qualifications or requirements whatsoever.

reqs and loans themselves are diff, no doubt. and this isn’t meant to judge (good or bad). i’m referring to how (at least as a millennial) both loans are just things you are expected to take on regardless of circumstances. and questioning them (mortgages today, student loans 10 years ago) feel awfully similar.

right, I see what you mean. appreciate the clarification! the main difference for me is that one was easy to get whereas the other is impossible 😂
