When going through her mother’s paperwork after her death, Michelle was met with a shock. Unfortunately her mother became unexpectedly ill and passed away before she was able to retire or pay back the loans. To her mother, it was worth it to hold up her end of the bargain. Miller’s mother was expected to pay $400 a month on the student loans, but this would cut into her retirement, leaving her below the poverty level. When Michelle’s mother informed her that the original $15,000 turned into $40,000 after interest, Michelle decided to save money in preparation to take over payments. Michelle lamented on Twitter about how her mother insisted on paying back her agreed-upon portion of the student loans though the daughter offered to take over payments. After graduation the daughter owed approximately $30,000 and, split between the two of them, it meant they would each need to pay back $15,000. In the case of one Twitter user, Michelle Miller, her mother agreed to pay back half of Michelle’s student loans to ease the burden on the new graduate. Inevitably many students and parents have to take out student loans in an effort to fill in the gaps left by financial aid. Parents work multiple jobs, put pressure on their children to perform at the top of their class in order to earn merit scholarships, all in the hopes for college to be mostly paid in full.
