    I guess everyone missed my point then.

    Undue hardship IS common for new grads nowadays. Although I guess as it becomes normal, it won’t be considered undue hardship anymore.

      The courts definition of undue hardship means not being able to attain a minimal standard of living and not having any real chance of it changing. For new grads in good health, the expectation is that it will change in the near future.

        There as also a implication it was going on for a while, 10 years in the article.

        New grads may feel it’s helpless and whole be for 10 years but courts do not operate on feelings, they need evidence.

        The point of the article is there is more hope now than there was and to spread awareness because most people aren’t including this in their bankruptcy.
