college money seems like a bad idea, if he may have to pay it back. cuz if it's a loan, doesn't that accrue interest like fuck, and they're notoriously hard to get rid of even thru bankruptcy??
skipping on medical bills i get tho, if he's US based. i don't fucking pay unless it hits my credit score as collections, or it's for a regular doctor like my PCP or therapist. my unpaid bills seem to get lost in collections, i've only had one bill hit my credit. afaik after 7 years they can't chase you for it if you haven't made a payment (they'll still try, but you don't have to pay them). i could be wrong on that tho!
otoh i haven't had any major emergency medical issues incurring like, thousands upon thousands in debt in one go/at one location. even that tho, i'd just beg poverty and make the tiniest payments possible and see where that gets me... fuck the medical system in this country.
