to be Biden's likeliest path: forgiving up to $10,000 per person. But an overwhelming majority – including a majority of those with student loans – said the government should prioritize making college more affordable over forgiving existing student loans.

Morgan feels differently. She says she made a few loan payments after graduating, but"after like the second or third payment, I was like, 'This is ridiculous. Why am I making payments?'"
