He struggled to come up with the $300 a month he owed upon graduation... He then went back to school to pursue a master’s degree in comparative literature. He brought home $1700 per month and lived with his mother but still couldn't afford to pay off 20k.
He couldn't afford to live in the (expensive) city of Denver so he moved into a concrete house in a jungle in India where some toilets are holes in the ground you squat over and restaurants serve spoiled goat meat. He considers his standard of living higher in India.
The above is 90% copy/pasted from the article, just shortened and summarized.
Maybe this sounds harsh but I don't think he will be missed. Writing off 20k seems like a deal for the US, enjoy him India!
