US student debt balloons past $1.5tn student loan debt has grown by $500bn since the 2010-11 academic year Politicians and policymakers fear rising burden is a long-term drag on US economy The overall size of US student loan debt has grown by $500bn since the 2010-11 academic year The US student loan burden has swelled past $1.5tn despite actual lending volumes falling for more than half a decade, as struggling students fall behind on their payment plans and debt relief programmes fail to offer sufficient succour. The overall size of US student debt has grown by $500bn since the 2010-11 academic year, according to a report by S&P Global, but the credit rating agency notes that loan origination has declined every year since then.

Because it is not financially wise to get married now. Federal student loan payments are calculated by income. Income from a spouse raises the minimum payment. Also that extra income prevents government assistance which is sometimes necessary due to student loan payments. I have $179,000 in student loans. I have 2 masters degrees, 2 certificates, 2 licenses and my bachelors. My husband and I have always had to file married but single. We live paycheck to paycheck.
