Pardon my incredulity, but you still had student loans? In my eyes, you're an older middle aged gentleman with skills. Was that not enough to ameliorate your student debt? Or was it just simply that onerous? I say this in the spirit of solidarity. As in, what hope do my peers have (I'm 25) when student loans still afflict older, much more established people to the degree where a gift that extinguishes said debt constitutes the most meaningful gift you could receive?
