He moved to a jungle in India to escape his giant student debt — and he's not alone

"It may be an issue we see an uptick in if the trends keep up," said, director of federal relations at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

Haag had some hope restored when he landed full-time work as a medical courier in Denver, delivering urine and blood samples to hospitals. However, he was disappointed to find that he brought home just $1,700 a month. He had little money left over after he paid his student loan bill. He couldn't afford an apartment in the city, where rents have"I couldn't make the math work in America," Haag said.

"Some toilets here are holes in the ground you squat over," Haag said. Recently, he ate spoiled goat meat at a local restaurant and landed in the emergency room.

Disgusting

BarryStanton44 white supremacy strikes again !!!

I would rather be in debt

I'm pretty sure that's not the reason for them to move into the jungle but Gun N Roses

Nobody forced him to go to University. If he did not want to repay his loans he should not have taken them.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE BUT BANKRUPTCY IF YOU CAN

The left side exposed completely, reap all the rewards but make others pay. Disgusting!

Track them down and make them pay.

“Any rational person who learns that people are fleeing the country as a result of their student loan debt will conclude that something has gone horribly awry with this lending system,' Collinge said. realDonaldTrump RandPaul BlacklistedNews

AOC please help him! 🤣

Kapitalis democrazy

Isn’ it interesting, we have as this story suggest students running away from a student debt by going to India while another story from FT reports that folks in India with a college degree can’t find jobs. Hence no debt, no jobs!

So this is where financial deadbeats go to dodge responsibility.

Running away from your debt is called a deadbeat💩🔥🤡👹

A MAIN PROBLEM is the High school 'CAREER COUNSELORS' who NEVER tell a student that SOME CHOICES of study are just a DUMB IDEA if you have to take a LOAN to achieve it. Nice to have a degree in Literature, but NO ONE told you it would NEVER GET YOU WEALTHY🤦‍♂️

Not a bad idea

He must not of heard of Givling

Not saying the student loan situation isn’t a giant CF, but I got halfway through the article and it never mentioned what they majored in.

I will never go back to college because I'm not paying for loans that I can't pay back. I refuse to struggle knowing that I'm trying to get an education, there's got to be a given take somewhere.

I think it's in San Diego in California they pay for college for free as well I don't know the program's name but you have to be there for about I think a year and then they pay for college. You just got to know where to go and how to maneuver the system to get college free.

If you move to Georgia or New York or California you can go to school absolutely free. Georgia has a program called the whole program and they pay for 4 year college degree. New York if you go to a medical school I forgot if it's the University of New York they pay for college

You misspelled deadbeat. I hope he and anyone else hiding in India will stay there and NEVER come back to the US. We don’t need any losers who cannot pay their debts or honor their own signature and obligations. Have fun shitting in the streets though.

I wonder about the earning potential for a Masters in Literature? And if it’s worth borrowing to achieve! People need to think about their debt and how it might get paid back BEFORE they borrow.

There’s nothing wrong with living in a concrete house in the jungle if that works for you, but why get a degree if you’re never going to use it?

NabeelRehman22 jappadog Putintin1 Guess its Time to go to India StudentLoans

There’s no such thing as “escaping your student debt” 🙄 when he leaves the jungle the debt with interest will be waiting, this is called delinquency

Student debts bubble is comming or it is already here to burst.

So he bolts on his debt of 20 grand and now he rides elephants, has some chickens and he craps on the ground. The guys lazy and an idiot.

Too funny.

Student loans are a SCAM. They lead to tuition inflation.

Good bye snow flakes‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 you took the money you pay it back ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good. Corporations can declare bankruptcy. Obama Bailed our Wall Street. Trump is giving $28 billion to welfare queen farmers. Wonder why students feel like they shouldn’t pay back their loans?

CATCH THEM & HANG THEM.WE CANNOT ALLOW CHEAPNESS LIKE THAT TO CONTINUE IN AMERICA.

Wait,....you mean getting a degree in art history and transgender studies doesn't guarantee a six figure salary.....BAH...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!...welcome to reality kid.😁😁😁

Irresponsible dead beats who took on debt without thinking of how to pay it back.

We need to fix the schools.

These people aren't 'expats', they are deadbeats

You misspelled deadbeat. Hope he never returns to the US.

Theyll be waiting!
