Outback is too expensive for the quality of food it provides though.
Student loans add up, I don't like how many I have right now myself, but I knew what I was doing. It's not like you don't get statements throughout letting you know if you have interest (or not) and that payment is not currently due.
I wouldn't make defaulting my first choice, but I'd get over my guilt about it if I truly couldn't afford it. Considering how few banks have followed through with the restructuring of mortgages, I'd rather try to save up money for deposit/rent rather then attempting to pay something I already cannot afford.
