I lived a very meager lifestyle until I paid my student loans. If student loans are forgiven, I want my $50k back. Thanks in advance.

Oh fuck that. We can decide to forgive student loans, we do bailouts all the time. It's our government and our money. You would rather it go to banks then vote Republican.
I don't understand these bitter people who don't want anyone else to have anything better in their lives. Well done paying off your debt, perhaps you did it in times when it was easier to pay off the loan, so is it fair that people have to pay off the loan in worse times still? The fairness argument is completely flawed.
I have a huge mortgage. If everyone else had their mortgages forgiven, I wouldn't piss and moan on the internet, I'd be happy for my fellow humans that their lives got better.
If you want more 'fairness' in the world, maybe start working in a homeless shelter, or volunteer in mental health services.
So did I and judging from your amount you likely went to school around when I did. Im completely fine with the foregiveness because I know I could never have come back from the load of debt required now. Im pretty sure I would not have gone to college if I was not an Xer.
If you want to be angry, then be angry at the PPP loans that were just forgiven. They sum to a much higher amount than and student loan forgiveness plan.
I paid mine off too, but I don't wish that for others. Hell forgive them all imo.
