SILICON VALLEY—Nick O’Hara is one of thousands of college students suffering from overwhelming student loan debt. As our nation’s government continues to search for ways to help our brightest students overcome this crippling pandemic, the technology giant, Apple Inc., may have just invented the remedy. It’s called the iPlan Counting Machine or simply “iPlan” for short.
At first glance, this new item looks very similar to your average, once-popular device known as the calculator. But when asked what makes the iPlan different from the others, O’Hara said, "Calculators only work with numbers, not dollars like this thing can.” Continuing to elaborate of his own accord he said, “The Apple logo makes all the difference I suppose.”
This “game-changing” invention will now allow students to calculate their monthly budget from money spent on essential items such as meals and cases of Red Bull to their largest purchases such as schoolbooks, cars, and cardboard cut-outs of their favorite social-media influencers.
O’Hara has seen a full .02% decrease in his spending since purchasing this new product on a monthly-payment plan almost 6 months ago. He is positive this type of savings will go a long way into paying off his now six-figure student loan debt. And he’s not alone in his new-found optimism.
Time Magazine is already proclaiming the iPlan, “a miracle, a marvel, and the true salvation for the devastating student debt crisis.”
Who would have ever thought such a small tool for only $55 a month (plus taxes and fees) could make such a big difference?
Possibly no one.
But, for students like Nick O’Hara, he is counting on it to do just that.
