Wow. Not sure what to say about this. Not trying to pick a fight, but not sure I understand the logic; getting your degree was an important component to your ER. Do you think it's right to expect the rest of us (taxpayers) to pick up your tab so you can ER? Or am I missing something?
You may want to refer to another thread running concurrently where I have discussed this issue for my rationale:

In short my answer is no, I don't think it is right that the current system is in place that allows me to do this. But it is my obligation to myself and my family to maximize family resources by taking advantage of legitimate programs offered by the federal government, including tax subsidies, tax credits, deductions, loan forgiveness, mortgage modifications, etc if I legitimately qualify.
