 Today I learned that it's relatively common for someone to go their entire working life and never pay off their student loans

- 3.5 million Americans aged 60 and above still have student loan debt.
- Collectively owing over 125 billion, that's nearly $36000 on average.
- In the past 20 years, the number of 60+ year olds with student loan debt has gone up 6x

All things considered, because of information arbitrage and the fiat relationship with Bitcoin, I would no longer advise anyone to pay off student loans early, or mortgages.

 I've reached the same conclusion even though it goes against my intuition. 
 This is only the precursor to 100 year mortgages
